INTRODUCTION

In the course of their education, nursing students are required to gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for delivering quality and safe care, facilitating a successful entry into the workforce.(1,2) This involves applying what they've learned in their practical experiences, translating acquired knowledge from their curriculum into real-world situations.(3,4)

Clinical clerkships constitute a vital role as they provide students with the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned. Additionally, practices offer experiences not only related to the development of techniques but also encompass attitudes integral to professional practice.(5) In this context, students take an active role in the teaching-learning process, requiring them to perceive these practices as valuable and satisfying. The role of the teacher involves planning instances that allow for the application and integration of knowledge in a controlled and supportive environment.(6)

It is common for students to feel high levels of stress and anxiety during clinical clerkships, often linked to their interactions with the healthcare team, the teacher evaluation process, relationships with peers, and limited familiarity with technology and hospital resources.(7,8) A negative perception of clinical clerkships may adversely affect students' active participation in learning experiences, thereby impeding the acquisition of competencies crucial for their future professional endeavors.(9,10,11)

Research, such as the work of Hernández Ortega et al.,(12) has indicated that nursing students frequently suffer from high levels of stress and anxiety during clinical clerkships. In a different study, Sahin-Karaduman et al.,(13) observed a positive perception regarding teacher supervision and identified a correlation between mental health and different dimensions of perception: clinical learning environment, supervision, and nursing instructor. It is essential to conduct studies aimed at understanding students' perceptions of their practical experiences. By gaining insights from their perspective, it becomes possible to identify elements that either positively or negatively impact their experiences. This understanding is vital for designing and implementing intervention strategies to foster a high-quality practice that meets students´needs.(14)

Based on the preceding context, this study was undertaken to evaluate how third-year students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program at a public higher education institution in the province of Tucumán perceived their clinical clerkships during the second term of 2023.

 

METHODS

Descriptive study with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The study universe consisted of third-year students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program at a public higher education institution in San Miguel de Tucumán, province of Tucumán, Argentina. The sample comprised 124 students, representing 100 % of the third-year students who attended courses during the second term of 2023.

Participation in the study involved students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program at the main campus of the institution, actively undertaking their clinical clerkships and voluntarily consenting to be part of the research.

The instrument designed by Matheus was used to measure students' perception of clinical clerkships.(15) This tool comprises 24 items rated on a Likert Scale using three adjectives: "always", "sometimes", and "never". The items are organized into three dimensions: Environment (items 1-6), Teaching Performance (items 7-15), and Teaching-Learning Process (items 16-24). The instrument underwent a Cronbach's alpha assessment, resulting in a value of 0,90, indicating high reliability.

The Environment dimension evaluates healthcare staff's attitude and cooperation, service organization, resource availability, environmental conditions in services, and the relationship between healthcare personnel and students. The Teaching Performance dimension evaluates teaching objectives, communication, respect, trust, empathy, support, motivation, and the addressing of student doubts and resolution of obstacles during clinical clerkships. Finally, the Teaching-Learning Process dimension pertains to the connection between theory and practice, the acquisition of skills and competencies, the allotted time for practical experience, guidance and motivation, and the opportunities presented within the context of clinical clerkships.

The instrument analysis involved summing up the items according to the instrument's instructions. Students' perceptions of clinical clerkships were categorized as "Favorable" for scores between 56 and 72, "Moderately Favorable" for scores between 40 and 55, and "Unfavorable" for scores between 24 and 39.

For data collection, the instrument was administered to the students after obtaining informed consent, using Google Forms. Following data collection, the information was exported into a Microsoft Excel database and analyzed using Infostat free version from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. The U-Mann Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare means between 2 and 3 or more groups. A significance level of p < 0,05 was established.

In terms of ethical considerations, the study received institutional approval for its implementation. Written informed consent was used, and data collection was kept anonymous, ensuring that no personally identifiable information was collected that could link the completed instrument to the participants. National and international laws governing the protection of research subjects were duly observed. The current study was deemed low-risk, given its observational, anonymous nature, and the absence of sensitive data collection.(16)

 

RESULTS

A total of 124 third-year students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program who undertook professional practices in the second term of 2023 were surveyed. The majority of these students were female (88,71 %), and their ages ranged between 20 and 29 years (57,26 %) (Table 1).

When investigating students' views on clinical clerkships, it was found that Teaching Performance was the most positively assessed dimension, with 56,45 % of respondents expressing a favorable perception. On the other hand, the Teaching-Learning Process dimension received the lowest evaluation, with 10,48 % of the sample expressing an unfavorable perception. Overall perception of clinical clerkships was considered favorable by 51,61 % of respondents (Figura 1).

Finally, in the inferential analysis, no association was found between gender and students' perceptions of clinical clerkships. It was found that students older than 50 years had a better assessment of clinical clerkships in the dimensions of Teaching Performance (p:0,022) and Overall Perception (p:0,016).

 

DISCUSSION

This work provides valuable information about students' perceptions of clinical clerkships. This can be used to plan learning activities and address elements that are amenable to intervention to improve the learning experience, taking into account the influence of the learning experience on participation and the development of patient care competencies.

In our study we found high satisfaction with teaching performance and the hospital environment. This contrasts with studies such as that by Moreno-Tello et al.,(17) who found partial satisfaction with tutors and teachers, considering that they were not in line with the objectives of the curriculum. Furthermore, they require a high number of learning products in the time available to them in the health institutions. This aspect could be associated with the fact that our students are not asked to document the nursing process during their practical experience. This gives them additional time to focus on assessment and intervention activities. Additionally, our findings correspond with those reported by Cortés-Escalante & Julio-Peterson(18) and Bustamante-Sánchez.(19) They observed that students provided positive evaluations of clinical clerkships, indicating a well-rounded integration of theoretical and practical elements within the educational context.

The work of Sahin-Karaduman et al.,(11) describes similar findings to our study, with positive perceptions of Teacher Performance and the Learning Environment. Consideration of this aspect is essential when evaluating students' perception and satisfaction with the various dimensions of clinical clerkships, as it significantly impacts the health and well-being of students(20) and the development of expected clinical skills during their formative stage.(21,22)  This is particularly relevant because the connection between teaching performance (didactic ability and communication) directly influences the achievement of clinical competencies in nursing students.(23)

The Teaching-Learning Process, as described in studies like Bustamante-Sánchez,(19) received positive evaluations with only a 3,4 % unfavorable perception. This differs from our findings where ten percent of the surveyed individuals perceived it negatively. However, our findings correspond with those documented by Álvarez Chávez et al.,(24) where 13 % assess the teacher's performance as deficient. This aspect could be linked to variables such as teaching qualifications and experience, along with institutional characteristics and the students' individual attributes.

In terms of gender, reports have varied, with some suggesting a better perception among women(25)  and others among men.(11) This finding might be associated with the predominant presence of women in nursing education and challenges faced by male personnel in specific areas like obstetrics and gynecology, as documented in several studies.(26)  Moreover, a higher perception of stress during clinical clerkships has been noted in younger students,(27,28) potentially explaining why older students tend to have a more positive perception of hospital practice.

The study's limitations include the fact that it was conducted in a single public institution with students exclusively from one campus. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of nursing students in the region could influence the comparability of the results. Future studies are suggested to evaluate variables that could influence the acquisition of competencies, including academic stress.(29,30)

 

CONCLUSION

The perception of clinical clerkships was considered favorable by 50 % of the respondents, and fewer than 1 % rated it as unfavorable. The dimension of Teaching Performance received the highest score, whereas the Teaching-Learning Process was perceived the least favorably. A correlation was observed between age and the perception of clinical clerkships, indicating a more positive evaluation among students aged 50 and above.
