A nursing science perspective on the role of the unit sister in teaching student nurses in Kwazulu hospitals

This study deals with the role of the unit sister in teaching student nurses in KwaZulu
hospitals. The aim of the study was to identify the extent of her involvement in
managing the unit to ensure clinical teaching and her involvement in the clinical
teaching process.
The role theory and the clinical teaching process formed the conceptual framework.
Data was collected from sisters in charge of units by means of a questionnaire.
The results of the study indicated that:-
unit sisters regard good management of the unit as essential for effective
clinical teaching.
unit sisters regard clinical teaching as one of their important roles and
functions as they said they were involved in all activities of the clinical
teaching process however the responses were confined to what the unit sisters
said they do which might not be what they actually do / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)
