Background: Clinical learning environment includes everything that surrounds students and is extremely beneficial in stimulating their critical thinking and affects their professional de­velopment via focus on clinical judgment and decision–making in the clinical setting. This study aims to assess the level of satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan, Nepal. Methods: Descriptive, cross sectional study design was used to assess the satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan. Standard tool (CLES + T scale) was administered among 242 nursing students. Data was entered in IBM Sta­tistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 and was further analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results: Just more than half of the nursing students were highly satisfied (51.2%) with the clinical learning environment. The level of satisfaction among nursing students was found statistically sig­nificant with year of study and type of ward of latest clinical placement with p value <0.05. Conclusions: Nearly half of the students are still not highly satisfied towards their clinical learning environment, therefore improvement in its quality needs proper planning, implementation and supervision that too in government hospital settings.

Abstract Background Data on student experience of the clinical learning environment in Ghana are scarce. We therefore aimed to assess students’ evaluation of the clinical learning environment and the factors that influence their learning experience.Methods This was a cross-sectional survey of 225 undergraduate nursing and midwifery students. We used the Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision + Nurse Teacher (CLES +T) evaluation scale to assess students’ experience of their clinical placement. The association between student demographic characteristics and clinical placement experience was determined using t-test or ANOVA.Results Most of the sampled students were Nurses (67%) and in the third year of training (81%). More students received supervision from a nurse (57%) during clinical placement and team supervision (67%) was the most common during clinical placement. Nursing students were more likely to rate their clinical experience better than midwifery students (p=0.002). Students who had increased contact with private supervisors were also more likely to rate their experience higher (p=0.002). Clinical experience was also rated higher by students who received successful supervision compared to those who had unsuccessful or team supervision (p=0.001).Conclusion Team supervision is high in health facilities where students undertake clinical placement in Ghana. Frequent contact with private supervisor and successful supervision are associated with better rating of clinical experience among Ghanaian undergraduate nursing and midwifery students.

AbstractThe purpose of the cross-sectional descriptive study was to explore and compare the students’ experiences of the clinical environment and supervision in Slovakia. Students’ clinical learning experience were measured by the valid and reliable clinical learning instrument. A higher frequency of successful supervisory experience was found in the universities which provided accredited mentor preparation programmes or courses and individualised supervisory approaches. Frequency of supervision meetings, the occupational title of a supervisor and mainly the supervision model have an association with students ‘perceptions of different domains of clinical learning environment. The duration of the placement was not related to students’ experience and perceptions of the learning environment. Slovak students reported higher score regarding the quality of nursing care or ward culture than in the supervisory relationships between students, clinical and school staff. Further studies in this field, extended to different Eastern European countries and clinical settings, may help us to understand factors affecting workplace training.

Greek Translation

<p><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> The need for translation and validation of an assessment tool regarding the<em> </em>Clinical Learning Environment of nursing students in Greece is imperative, given that inappropriate research tools are frequently used. <strong>Τhe aim</strong> of this study was to validate and psychometrically test the Greek translation of the Student Evaluation of Clinical Educational Environment (SECEE) Version 3 Inventory, with a sample of senior nursing students during their clinical practice.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong><em> </em>Following a formal “forward-backward” method to translate the original SECEE into Greek, the scale was administered to 130 senior students. They also completed the Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision (CLES) Scale. Validity and reliability analyses were performed.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong><em> </em>Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the SECEE subscales score was 0.89 for Instructor Facilitation of Learning (IFL), 0.84 for Learning Opportunities (LO) and 0.84 for Preceptor Facilitation of Learning (PFL). Test-retest reliability analysis in a subgroup of students (n=40) revealed good short term stability over a two week interval. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three factor subscales for the Greek translation, as in the original scale. Construct validity was supported through the scale’s moderate correlation with CLES subscales, ranged from 0.163 to 0.317 for IFL, from 0.387 to 0.445 for LO and from 0.443 to 0.537 for PFL.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS</strong><strong>: </strong>The Greek version of the SECEE is a psychometrically sound instrument that can be usefully implemented into clinical education to identify appropriate clinical sites and provide information about student perceptions regarding the adequacy of learning opportunities. <strong></strong></p>

Introduction: Clinical learning environment placements provide opportunities for students to develop their skills, socialize to the profession and bridge the gap between academic and workplace learning. This study was conducted to investigate Saudi nursing students’ perceptions of their clinical learning environment and supervision in the hospital setting. Methods: A sample of 90 final year student nurses completing practicums at a tertiary hospital in Riyadh was included in this cross-sectional study utilizing the Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision plus Nurse Teacher scale. Results: Overall, students perceived their clinical learning environment positively. Among sub-scores, that for the leadership style of ward manager was the highest. Supervision types, nursing-teacher teacher-visit frequency and grade point average positively and significantly impacted student’s perceptions, while university type and practicum duration did not. Conclusion: Students confirmed the ward manager’s leadership style as the most significant influencing their perceptions. However, the nursing teacher’s role had the lowest mean score, suggesting the need for its enhancement and clarification and indicating the need for better communication and collaboration between nursing schools and the clinical training hospital.

Clinical Placements

Background: Clinical education placements provide the opportunity for students to gain practical skills and apply theoretical knowledge not otherwise available in many instances. Objectives: This research explored how undergraduate paramedic students perceive their clinical placement learning environments. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study using a paper-based survey, the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI), was conducted on undergraduate paramedic students studying at a large Australian university in semester 1, 2010. A total of 190 students were invited to participate in the survey. The CLEI is a standardised tool that contains 84-items and six subscales. Findings: Sixty students completed the CLEI (31% response rate). It was found that on both the actual and preferred CLEI forms, Satisfaction was found to be the most important domain having a mean score of 29.68 (SD+3.81) and 31.37 (SD+4.35) respectively.Individualisation was found to be the least important domain in both the actual and preferred form, with mean scores of 20.93 (SD+3.80) and 24.03 (SD+3.82) respectively. This indicated that paramedic students as a group sensed that theSatisfaction aspect of clinical placements are an integral aspect of their preferred clinical learning environment. Results also indicated that all six subscales were statistically different at the p<0.001 level. Conclusion: There were significant differences in the perceptions of paramedic students actual and preferred clinical learning environments. This provides educators with strategies in promoting positive learning experiences for students.
