Aim: The aim of this study is to adapt the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher Evaluation Scale to the Turkish language and culture.
Methods: This psychometric test was conducted in a nursing school in Ankara, Turkey, from April to June 2014. Convenience sampling was used.
Background: A mobile cooperation intervention was developed to facilitate the cooperation of nursing students with nurse teacher and to improve the students' clinical learning outcomes. The intervention consisted of training in a mobile application's functionality and its use during clinical practicum cooperation procedures.
Objectives: To describe the development of a mobile application for student-teacher cooperation and to examine the acceptability of the mobile cooperation intervention for advancing intervention development.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the CLES+T evaluation scale, designed to measure the clinical learning environment for nursing students, nurses, and educators.
- A total of 602 Turkish nursing students participated, with various statistical analyses performed on the CLES+T scale, including language equivalency and internal consistency checks.
- The results showed a high reliability (Cronbach's alpha of 0.93-0.99), the removal of four underperforming items, and the identification of six factors that explained 64% of the variance, confirming that the Turkish version of the CLES+T is a valid tool for evaluating nursing students' clinical education satisfaction in Turkey.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the mobile cooperation intervention in improving the competence and self-efficacy of students and the quality of the clinical learning environment.
Background: For students, the clinical practicum is challenging as such and moreover the student - teacher cooperation, which supports the clinical learning of the students, has become complicated. Mobile applications have potential but their role in facilitating this cooperation remains unknown.
