Abstract
Nursing students are facing a series of challenges progressively in the clinical practices as well as in education system. Gap between theoretical leaning and its implementation during training has impact on nursing student‘s empowerment. The clinical learning environment is essential for students to accomplish desired learning outcomes most likely. Assessing the challenges in clinical learning environment helps to implement necessary changes in their teaching and learning so that better outcomes are generated. So, the researchers felt a need to evaluate the challenges faced by nursing students in clinical learning environment. The objectives of this study are to explore the challenges in clinical learning environment among nursing students and find the association between challenges in clinical learning environment and selected demographic variables. An exploratory sequential mixed method design was adopted in this study. It consists of two phases: qualitative and quantitative. In the first phase a total of 9 participants were included and data were collected with an open-ended interview guide. Interview guide was developed to evaluate various causes leading to challenges in clinical learning environment. Participants were 4 nursing students, 2 clinical instructors and 4 staff nurses. Interview was audio recorded and transcribed verbatim and transcripts were analysed by using Colaizzi‘s method. A total of 4 themes and 12 subthemes were generated from analysis of qualitative data. The major themes emerged were confidence, stress, knowledge, and support. From the themes generated from the interview, structured questionnaire was prepared and data collection was conducted in 50 nursing students studying in fourth year BSc Nursing. The findings stated that there were 78% students are facing mild challenges and 22% are facing moderate challenges. Chi square analysis showed that there was no significant association between selected demographic variables like age (x2 = 0.33 ),gender (x2 = 0.66),area of residence x2 = 3.52 ), area of interest(x2 =3.042) and challenges faced by nursing students during clinical learning environment.
