Abstract

Background: Achievement of clinical learning outcomes in clinical practice training (CPT) is closely related to the support given to education by clinical nurses.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the contribution of nurses to the CPT according to nurses' and students' perspectives.

Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional research.

Methods: This research was after the completion of the 2021-2022 academic term. The sample of the study included 277 students who performed CTP in the internal and surgical clinics of a university hospital and 177 nurses actively working in these clinics.  A data collection tool that included nurse behaviors to determine the contribution of the CPT was used.

Results: The proportions of students and nurses who reported that the level of nurses' contribution to students' knowledge and skills had good and excellent were 64.6% and 75.9%, respectively (p<0.05). According to 56% of the students and 81.1% of the nurses, nurses were a good and excellent role model for the student (p<0.001).The proportions of performing nursing behaviors including providing clinical orientation, clarification of expectations, encouragement of asking questions, establishing helpful communication, and observation of the skills varied between 26.0% and 54.5% for students and 61.5% and 94.3% for nurses, respectively  (p<0.001). 

Conclusion: Student and nurse perspectives were significantly different from each other. This raises the question of "why there is such an inconsistency?". Using routine checklists that determine the contribution level of nurses to CPT may be effective in providing self-control. Sharing the results obtained with both groups can create a driving force for self-awareness and improvement.
