With the rapid changes taking place in the country, including the education system in general and nursing education in particular, the role of professional nurses as reflective clinical learning facilitators need to be re-visited in order to meet the changing health needs of the communtiy and to facilitate outcome- based nursing education and evidence-based quality nursing care. The purpose of this paper is to explore and describe the perceptions of professional nurses as reflective clinical learning facilitators in the clinical learning units, within the context of a specific health-care service in Gauteng. A phenomenological method using descriptive naïve sketches was used to collect data from twenty professional nurses complying with certain inclusion criteria. A content analysis was performed and eight categories (main concepts) were identified in order of priority as follows: communication/collaboration; role-modelling; continuous assessment and evaluation; up-to-date knowledge; scientific approach; clinical teaching; management and professionalism. After a literature control was conducted, these main concepts were confirmed. It is recommended that a model to facilitate reflective thinking in clinical nursing education be developed, using these concepts as basis for the provisional conceptual framework.

Background: A 2010 study of preceptorship as a clinical teaching model in Ghana revealed weaknesses related to high student-preceptor ratios and inadequate support from faculty in the educational institution. A four-cycle community-based participatory action research study was designed to further delineate clinical teaching and learning issues and partner with Ghanaian stakeholders in critical analysis of possibilities for positive change in clinical nursing education. The purpose of this paper, taken from Cycle One of the study, is to provide understanding of the challenges of the current clinical teaching model(s) used in the study institution from the perspectives of students and faculty. Early engagement of external stakeholders is described.Methods: Each university target group was invited to complete a semi-structured questionnaire. Interviews were conducted with representatives from the Ministry of Health, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana, and the Ghana Registered Nurses’ and Midwives’ Association. Clinical documents were examined.Results: Clinical teaching and learning issues identified included the need for: a) more effective clinical teaching and supervision; b) adequate equipment for practice; c) meaningful evaluation of performance; d) enhanced collaboration between the school and clinical settings; and, e) reduced travel time to clinical opportunities. External stakeholders became aware and supportive of the research endeavour.Conclusions: Participants acknowledged changes are needed in order to improve clinical nursing education in Ghana. Clinical teaching and learning issues were identified and formed a baseline from which more in-depth discussion of resources, constraints and possibilities for change could ensue in subsequent cycles of the study.

The key requirements for creating a positive learning environment do not come readily packaged. Instructors can then implement the concepts to keep students motivated and engaged in the learning process.  The aim of study is to Creating a Positive Learning Environment for Adults; by assessing Nursing Students perceptions regarding Clinical Learning Environments in Beni – Suef University (actual and expected). A sample of 127 students in nursing faculty, Beni–Suef University from third and fourth grade in the first semester of the academic year 2014/2015.Tools: Structured interviewing questionnaire sheet, which include: Tool (1):  Socio demographic data, Tool (2): the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI) originally developed by Professor Chan (2001).Results: The results indicated that there were significant differences between the preferred and actual form in all six scales. In other word, comparing with the actual form, the mean scores of all items in the preferred form were higher. The maximum mean difference was in innovation and the highest mean difference was in involvement scale. Conclusion: It is concluded that nursing students do not have a positive perception of their actual clinical teaching environment and this perception is significantly different from their perception of their expected environment. Key words: adult learner, positive learning environment, Clinical learning environment, Nursing education, Nursing student

Abstract Background To prepare nursing students to become critical, autonomous members of the workforce, an agreement among stakeholders on how this can be achieved in the clinical setting is needed. However, a critical discussion of the clinical learning process in relation to actual and desirable outcomes is lacking in the nursing education literature. This study aimed to map conceptions of the desired process and outcomes of clinical learning among stakeholders involved in undergraduate clinical nursing education. Methods Twenty-five semi-structured interviews about their understanding of clinical learning were conducted with nursing students, supervisors, clinical educators and higher education institute professionals involved in clinical nursing education in a Dutch academic medical center. Data were analyzed using a phenomenographic approach. Results Four conceptions were identified: clinical learning as a process to 1) meet curricular demands, 2) learn to deliberately deliver patient care, 3) learn to deliver patient care within the larger (healthcare) context, and 4) become a continuously developing professional. Conceptions 3 and 4 represented a broader, more inclusive perspective on clinical learning than conception 1 and 2. Conceptions were distinguished by five dimensions: role of guidelines from the school; learning opportunities, focus of supervisor; focus of reflection; desirable outcomes of clinical learning. Conclusions Those directly involved in clinical learning in nursing may have qualitatively different understandings of its desired nature and outcomes. Two patterns across conceptions could be discerned: a) a shift in focus from learning as following standards, to following an individualized learning trajectory and b) a shift in focus from increasing patient load, to understanding oneself and the patient within the healthcare context. To prepare nursing students for the future workforce, a flexible, social form of self-regulated learning is warranted, as well as an understanding of one’s own role within the healthcare system and a critical attitude towards healthcare. Schools and hospitals should collaborate to integrate these values in the curriculum. The current study adds different ways of applying self-regulated learning as a relevant dimension in understanding clinical learning to the literature. Through the phenomenographic approach we identified conceptions that can be a basis for training and policy development.

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.

Important Means

Clinical observation is an important means to cooperate with clinical teaching, and it is a special stage of transition from theoretical study to clinical practice. How to make students apply their theoretical knowledge to clinical practice as soon as possible and improve their ability to analyze and solve problems is a subject that must be studied in nursing teaching. Establish Two-way evaluation system and apply it to clinical nursing teaching management. Teachers' evaluation form and interns' evaluation form were developed, which were applied to 186 students and teachers of this year. the results show that the scores of the Two-way evaluation results are obviously improved, and the practice teaching management is becoming more standardized. It is beneficial to improve the quality of clinical nursing teaching by finding out the problems in nursing teaching through Two-way evaluation and taking corresponding countermeasures.

Distress Scale

Background: Psychological sufferings are observed among dental students during their academic years, which had been intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives: This study assessed the levels and identified factors associated with psychological distress, fear and coping experienced by dental undergraduate students in Bangladesh. Methods: A cross sectional online survey was conducted during October-November, 2021. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) and Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) were used in order to assess psychological distress, fear and coping strategies respectively. Results: A total of 327 students participated; the majority (72%) were 19-23 years old and females (75%). One in five participants were infected with COVID-19 and 15% reported contact with COVID-19 cases. Negative financial impact (AOR 3.72, 95%CIs 1.28-10.8), recent or past COVID-19 infection, contact with COVID-19 cases were associated with higher levels of psychological distress; but being a 3rd year student (0.14, 0.04-0.55) and being satisfied about current social life (0.11, 0.03-0.33) were associated with lower levels of psychological distress. Being a 3rd year (0.17, 0.08-0.39) and a 4th year student (0.29, 0.12-0.71) were associated with lower levels of fear. Health care service use and feeling positive about life were associated with medium to high resilience coping. Conclusions: This study iden-tified dental students in Bangladesh who were at higher risk of psychological distress, fear and coping during the ongoing pandemic. Development of mental health support system within dental institution should be considered in addition to the academic and clinical teaching.
