Summary
This study followed nursing students longitudinally, finding moderate satisfaction with their clinical learning environment (CLE). Task orientation strongly predicted satisfaction, highlighting areas for improving teaching innovation and individualization in clinical placements.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Professions Education
- Clinical Pedagogy
Background:
- The clinical learning environment (CLE) is crucial for nursing student education.
- Longitudinal studies on CLE's impact on nursing students are lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine nursing students' perceptions of the CLE over time.
- To assess changes in CLE perceptions between first and third-year clinical placements.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 450 nursing students completed the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI) in their first year (2021) and third year (2023).
- Longitudinal data collection using the CLEI questionnaire.
Main Results:
- Personalization, satisfaction, and task orientation received the highest mean scores.
- Teaching innovation and individualization subscales had the lowest mean scores.
- Task orientation was the most significant predictor of student satisfaction with the CLE.
Conclusions:
- Nursing students in Singapore report moderately positive satisfaction with their CLE.
- Enhancing teaching innovation and individualization is recommended to improve the student learning experience.
- Clinical instructors should develop innovative strategies to optimize the CLE.

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.3K
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.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

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...
