Background: The clinical instructors (CI) is an integral part of a quality clinical learning experience. CIs assist nursing students to integrate theory into practice. The traditional faculty-supervised model (traditional model) is used in Canadian undergraduate nursing programs for clinical teaching of Year 1 to 3 students, i.e., one CI supervises 6 to 8 (or 10) nursing students. Some researchers have questioned the effectiveness of the model in preparing students for practice and have concluded that in its current form, it might not be “best practice” with respect to student learning and patient safety. Research is needed to evaluate the traditional model of clinical instruction. Methods: This study explored perceptions and experiences of full-time faculty and CIs who teach and supervise students using the traditional model; and to identify the strengths and challenges of the model with regard to student learning and patient safety. The sample comprised of five faculty and seven CIs. Using an exploratory descriptive approach, qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic content analysis.Results: Although both faculty and CIs described some positive experiences facilitating nursing students’ learning within the traditional model, participants indicated that their experiences depended on the size and complement of the clinical group. Overall, participants perceived more challenges than strengths with the model. Strengths included: (a) peer learning and support, (b) instructors’ familiarity with curriculum and evaluation process, (c) guidance and support for novice students, (d) instructors’ control over students’ learning, and (e) opportunity for clinical experiences in a variety of settings. Challenges included (a) managing large clinical groups, (b) missed learning opportunities, (c) limited time for teaching and supervision, (d) difficulty balancing student learning with patient safety, (e) being seen as visitors on the unit, and (f) lack of role preparation.Conclusions: These findings provide additional evidence to existing knowledge related to clinical education of nursing students. Recommendations for improving the quality of clinical experiences and support for CIs are presented as a means for mitigating some of the challenges of using the traditional model of instruction.

BACKGROUND Nurse educator has to do clinical teaching when students are posted either in clinical or community field. Clinical teaching is a method of teaching to an individual or group of students who came in contact with patients when they are posted in clinical or in community field. Clinical education enhances appropriate link between theory and practice and at the same time provides opportunity to have a practice on how to solve complex problems of health care, provide safe care and enhance critical thinking. The objectives of the study were to inform nursing undergraduate students regarding one-minute preceptor (OMP) model, assess perception level of experimental group of students regarding OMP and evaluate the improvement in clinical skills of nursing undergraduate students through one-minute preceptor teaching. METHODS Experimental research design was used. Probability sampling technique was used for the selection of nursing undergraduate students and random sampling method for formation of 2 groups of the students. Total 60 students participated. Likert scale was used to assess perception level and response of students. RESULTS In the present study, 70 % students had very good level of perception and (30 %) had excellent level of perception regarding OMP. Response regarding community posting mean score and standard deviation of both groups was 46.50 ± 2.46 and 35.60 ± 3.60 respectively. Comparison was done between the experimental and control group and P-value was P = 0.00. CONCLUSIONS OMP module is effective to improve clinical skill to manage minor ailments, to make decision and critical thinking at community setting. It can be implemented to the final year undergraduate nursing students and post graduate nursing students. KEY WORDS Effectiveness, One-Minute Preceptor, Clinical Skill

The use of personal digital assistants (PDAs), hand-held devices and/or IPod Touches, is becoming widespread in the health care field. Many medical and nursing schools require their students to purchase a PDA prior to the beginning of their classes. PDA’s can carry information directly to the patient’s beside for instant retrieval of information. What does this mean to nursing students and clinical instructors? It means that up-to-date information is available to the student and clinical instructor in seconds, as opposed to searching for a reference book only to find it is outdated and 10 to 15 minutes of valuable time lost. This study identified associate degree nursing students’ use and application in the clinical using PDAs. Results of this study indicated that associate degree nursing students are very satisfied with the use of PDAs in the clinical setting. This study was funded by the Ohio University Regional Faculty Research Fund.

Abstract Nursing students and their clinical instructors in higher education institutions are faced with challenges regarding their clinical teaching and learning strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the perceptions of nursing students regarding clinical teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. A non-experimental descriptive quantitative research design was used to collect data from 300 nursing students who were enrolled at selected higher education institutions in the 2021/22 academic year in Lesotho. Convenience sampling was used to recruit the respondents who completed a structured self-report questionnaire. Permission to conduct the study was granted by relevant authorities (ID147-2021). Data were analysed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS vs 23) and presented using tables and graphs and described analytically. The findings of the current study show that the minimum age of participants was 19 years and the maximum age was 39 years. The majority of respondents were female (69%: n=207) and studying for a BSc degree in Nursing and Midwifery (49%: n=146). Most nursing students had adequate knowledge, skills, and attitudes to prevent Covid-19 in the clinical area and simulation laboratories. They felt that clinical instructors and preceptors were available and competent to assist them in completing their clinical competencies and procedure file logbooks. Nursing students gained expertise in performing clinical procedures as they were able to perform return demonstrations in the simulation laboratory and clinical areas. Whilst clinical facilities and simulation laboratories had adequate Covid-19 prevention protocols and tools, there was inadequate personal protective equipment available. Conclusively, the perceptions of nursing students regarding clinical teaching and learning during Covid-19 were positive. More support for adequate personal protective equipment for nursing students remains crucial.

Background: Clinical supervision represents an important aspect in the development of nursing students’ clinical skills. At the School of Nursing (SoN) the clinical supervisors employed by the University of the Western Cape (UWC) have limited contact sessions with students in the clinical setting. However, with the increase in student numbers a need was identified to strengthen the support given to nursing students in the service setting. Objective: A preceptorship training programme for nurses was developed in 2009, aimed at improving the clinical teaching expertise of professional nurses. The planning phase, based on a preceptorship model, represents a collaborative undertaking by the higher education institution and the nursing directorate of the Provincial Government Western Cape.Method: A two-week, eight credit, short course was approved by the university structures and presented by staff members of the school. The teaching and learning strategies included interactive lectures, small group activities and preceptor-student encounters in simulated and real service settings. Some of the course outcomes were: applying the principles of clinical teaching and learning within the context of adult education, understanding the preceptor role and managingResults: To date, fifty-four participants have attended the course. Following an internal review of the pilot programme in 2010, relevant adjustments to the programme were made.Conclusion: It is recommended that all the stakeholders be involved in the development and implementation of a contextually relevant preceptorship training programme. It is further recommended that the school embarks on an extensive programme evaluation.
