Nursing students generally view their tutors positively. The study found that personal and professional traits of both students and tutors had minimal impact on these perceptions.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Tutoring is increasingly utilized for nursing students.
- Understanding student perceptions of tutors is crucial for effective mentorship.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nursing students' perceptions of their tutors.
- To assess the influence of personal and professional characteristics on these perceptions.
Main Methods:
- Anonymous questionnaires administered to 243 nursing students.
- Utilized the Italian translation of the Nursing Students' Perceptions of Instructor Caring -Short Version (NSPIC) scale.
- Collected demographic data on students and tutors.
Main Results:
- Overall positive tutor evaluations were reported (average score 146.3/186).
- Personal and professional characteristics of both trainers and trainees demonstrated limited influence on student perceptions.
- The majority of participants were female (74%) with an average age of 24.6 years.
Conclusions:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

01:29Nursing Assessment
The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

01:25Fundamentals of Nursing Process II
There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
