Abstract:
Several instruments have been developed to monitor nursing students' subjective evaluation of clinical placement. The Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher (CLES+T) evaluation scale measures five dimensions. The purpose of this study was to translate and test the construct validity and internal consistency of the evaluation scale within a Norwegian context. The questionnaire was distributed to all students in four university colleges (n=1229) in 2009 with a response rate of 41.6 % (n=511). Only students from institutional practice settings (n=407) were included in the analysis. The instrument has properties suitable for evaluation also within a Norwegian context, despite some minor differences in factor structure, indicating common underlying properties regarding students' evaluation of the clinical learning environment and how they rate the premises of nursing on the ward.
