Clinical learning environment of nursing and midwifery students in Ghana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on student experience of the clinical learning environment in Ghana are scarce. We therefore aimed to assess students' evaluation of the clinical learning environment and the factors that influence their learning experience.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional survey of 225 undergraduate nursing and midwifery students. We used the Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision + Nurse Teacher (CLES +T) evaluation scale to assess students' experience of their clinical placement. The association between student demographic characteristics and clinical placement experience was determined using t-test or ANOVA.

Results

Most of the sampled students were Nurses (67%) and in the third year of training (81%). More students received supervision from a nurse (57%)
