Abstract Background: Clinical education competencies are a core requirement for clinical nurse instructors, contributing toward better the learning outcomes of students in the clinical settings. Awareness of nursing instructor's perception is essential for designing nursing professional development programs. This study aimed to explore nursing clinical instructors’ perception of the essential competencies for clinical education. Methods: A qualitative design, based on the content analysis approach was used. Eighteen clinical nursing instructors and five nursing students from Lorestan University of Medical Science(LUMS), were selected via a purposeful sampling method. Data were collected using a semi structured in-depth interview method, from October 2018 to February 2019. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed with using Graneheim and Lundman methods. Results: Analysis of nursing instructors' perceptions of clinical education competencies identified four main categories and eight sub-categories. The main categories included; (I) tasks oriented education; (II) guiding and supporting nursing students; (III) organizing communication skills and (IV) professional-ethical role modeling Conclusions Although academic clinical faculties and part time clinical nursing instructors reported a high level of knowledge and confidence in their ability to establish communication skills, role modeling and nursing students’ supervision, Part time clinical nursing instructors, also identified the need for additional support for their clinical teaching roles. They were not prepared enough for clinical teaching roles; their perception of clinical educational skills was tasks oriented education. The development, implementation, and evaluation of curriculum based on clinical competency with structured mentoring processes for part time clinical nursing instructors are recommended, in order to meet the knowledge gap that has been created.

Abstract Background Transition from a clinical expert nurse to a  part time clinical nursing instructor (PTCNI) poses several challenges. Designing a professional development curriculum to facilitate the transition from a clinical expert nurse to a  PTCNI is critical to effective education. A comprehensive competency-based curriculum was developed and implemented with structured mentoring to prepare clinical expert nurses as PTCNIs. Methods A mixed-methods study with a sequential-exploratory approach was conducted in Iran in 2019. In the qualitative phase, Saylor et al.’s (1981) seven-step model was used, consisting of (1) collecting evidence from a systematic review, (2) conducting interviews with learners, (3) setting goals and objectives, (4) design, (5) implementation, (6) evaluation, and (7) feedback. In the quantitative phase, curriculum domains were evaluated. Additionally, the effective professional communication skills module was implemented using a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test post-test single-group design for 5 PTCNIs in a pilot study. Results After integrating the findings of the literature review and field interviews in the analysis stage, a curriculum was developed with a total of 150 h, six modules, and 24 topics. Results of the pilot study showed a significant improvement in the confidence of PTCNIs as a result of the implementation of the effective communication skills module using the mentoring method (t = − 16.554, p = 0.0005). Conclusions This competency-based curriculum was based on the evidence and needs of PTCNIs and provides a complete coverage of their clinical education competencies. It is suggested that managers of educational institutes that offer nursing programs use this curriculum to prepare them in continuing education programs. Further studies are needed to thoroughly evaluate the learning outcomes for students.

Education In Ghana

Clinical education is an essential component of the education of nursing students. However clinical nursing education in Ghana is currently facing challenges of poor working relations between hospitals and health training institutions, inadequate preceptor preparations, and inadequate faculty supervisions. Although the dominant clinical education model used in Ghana is the preceptorship model, health service and education industries are faced with challenges of lack of qualified staff, inadequately prepared preceptors, and inadequate supervision from faculty. These challenges undermine the effectiveness of the clinical learning environment and the use of the preceptorship model. The purpose of this paper was to review preceptorship and clinical teaching partnership (CTP) and make recommendations for improving clinical nursing education in Ghana. A literature review was undertaken through a search of databases that included Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, CINAHL, and HINARI. A literature review identified advantages for using clinical teaching partnership (CTP) in clinical nursing education in Ghana. Recommendations were made for the use of CTP in Ghana.

Introduction and Objective: Human anatomy is an essential component of the undergraduate nursing curriculum for learning the specific disciplines which deal with clinical practice. Anatomical knowledge provides assurance for the practice of clinical assessment and invasive procedures of legal competence of nurses.  The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation of the content taught in the discipline Human Anatomy with the clinical practice of undergraduate nursing students in the discipline Semiology and Semiotics in Nursing and The Care Process, as well as their assurance to start it.Methods: Quantitative descriptive study with the application of an online questionnaire to 66 undergraduate nursing students at a public education institution in the interior of São Paulo. Data analysis by number of occurrences and Chi-square test.Results: There was partial agreement about the interdisciplinarity between human anatomy and disciplines of clinical nursing practice. The students agreed to be partially assured about the procedures to start the semiological practice of different devices and to perform nursing procedures. The predominance of the superficial approach to content related to the clinical practice of the disciplines Semiology and Semiotics in Nursing and The Care Process was predominant.Conclusions: The teaching of human anatomy, along the lines offered, maintains an unsatisfactory correlation with clinical practice due to the students’ experience, interfering with learning, acting in clinical teaching and professional training.

Instructor Performance

Introduction: Peer instructor teaching is an educational model in which senior students teach to their classmates or junior students. Clinical supervision is a formal, systematic, and continuous that the inexperienced person reviews and improves their performance by receiving advice from a supervisor or expert. Clinical education is a vital component of the medical science curriculum and the quality and control of its stressors are important. The purpose of this study was to combine peer instructor training model with clinical supervision on the status and stressors of clinical nursing education. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study in which a combined Peer instructor teaching and clinical supervision program was implemented. The research samples were 60 nursing students of Yazd nursing and Midwifery College who were studying in third and sixth semesters. They were selected by purposive sampling method. Data gathering tools included a four-part questionnaire including demographic characteristics, a questionnaire for assessing instructor performance in clinical education, a standard questionnaire for clinical stressors, a course satisfaction questionnaire and a clinical supervisor completed by self-report. Data analysis was done using SPSS 16 software. Result: on the finding the mean score of peer instructor evaluation was 56.42 ± 9.38 and mean score of clinical stressors was 38.72 ± 5.6. Peer instructor in most cases agreed with the peer instructor program and clinical supervision program. Conclusion: From the learners' point of view, peer instructor performance is at a good level, as well as clinical stressors at the boundary level between moderate and weak, although both results are satisfactory but there is a need for more careful planning and more training by peer educators and more accurate clinical supervision.
