Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a person-centred approach for the educational audit of the learning environment.
- To create a practical tool for assessing educational settings in nursing practice.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed audit tool.
Main Methods:
- Conducted a comprehensive review of relevant literature on education and nursing education.
- Analyzed current practices in educational auditing and learning environment assessment.
- Designed and piloted a person-centred profile tool in diverse nursing student practice settings.
Main Results:
- The developed person-centred profile tool was tested across various practice settings.
- Initial testing provided data for the evaluation of the tool's utility and effectiveness.
- The study confirmed the feasibility of implementing a person-centred educational audit.
Conclusions:
- A novel person-centred approach to education audit has been successfully developed.
