Nursing Students’ Views on the Clinical Learning Environment and Affecting Factors: A Cross- Sectional Study

Abstract

Aim The aim of this study was to determine nursing students’ opinions about the clinical learning environment of the Pediatric Nursing course and the affecting factors. Method In this descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of 87 nursing students who were enrolled in the Pediatric Nursing course and completed their clinical practice. In this study, “Demographic Information Form” and “The Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher Scale” were used. Results The highest sub-dimension of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher scale of nursing students was nurse faculty member and the lowest sub-dimension was nursing care in the clinic. 59.8% of students are satisfied with the clinical learning environment. This study, academic achievement was found to be significant only in the clinical learning environment sub-dimension of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher Scale and had no significant effect on the other sub-dimensions (p>0,050). It was found that the clinical practice supervisor variable was significant only in the faculty member score sub-dimension of the scale and was not significant in the other sub-dimensions. Conclusions This study shows that the students scored well in all subscales of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher Scale and were satisfied with the clinical learning environment.
