Aim:
To investigate student nurses' perceptions of practical accompaniment at community health clinics.
Method:
A descriptive study was conducted using a convenient sample of third- and fourth-year baccalaureate nursing students. A questionnaire was used to gather data from 49 students on their perceptions of clinical accompaniment, interpersonal relations with the preceptor and educational strategies in clinical teaching.
Results:
Forty nine students returned the completed questionnaires, giving a response rate of 93 per cent. Respondents expressed mainly positive feelings on the roles of the preceptor during accompaniment.
Conclusion:
There were slight differences in the responses given by third-year students and those of fourth-year students. In general, students indicated that there was open communication between them and preceptors, and that they were satisfied with the educational strategies used by preceptors in clinical teaching.
