Facilitating learning of student nurses during clinical placement : registered nurses' perceptions

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the perceptions of registered
nurses with regard to facilitating the learning of student nurses during clinical
placement.
Focus group interviews with fifteen registered nurses were done, followed by
participant observations in two clinical areas, to gain a clearer picture of obstacles, as
well as the strategies employed during placement of student nurses in the clinical area.
The :findings indicate that facilitation of the learning of student nurses during clinical
placement is achieved by guidance, involvement, assisting and supervision of student
nurses in the clinical area by nurses of all categories, and medical and paramedical
personnel. Many obstacles were identified which obstruct the employment of
strategies that are suitable for facilitation in the clinical area. Guidelines for the
facilitation of learning of student nurses were recommended, to improve facilitation in
the clinical area. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)
