 Baccalaureate nursing students' perceptions of learning and supervision in the clinical environmentMaria Dimitriadou, Evridiki Papastavrou, Georgios Efstathiou and Mamas Theodorou Nursing & Health Sciences, 2015, vol. 17, issue 2, 236-242 Abstract: This study is an exploration of nursing students' experiences within the clinical learning environment (CLE) and supervision provided in hospital settings. A total of 357 second‐year nurse students from all universities in Cyprus participated in the study. Data were collected using the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher instrument. The dimension “supervisory relationship (mentor)”, as well as the frequency of individualized supervision meetings, were found to be important variables in the students' clinical learning. However, no statistically‐significant connection was established between successful mentor relationship and team supervision. The majority of students valued their mentor's supervision more highly than a nurse teacher's supervision toward the fulfillment of learning outcomes. The dimensions “premises of nursing care” and “premises of learning” were highly correlated, indicating that a key component of a quality clinical learning environment is the quality of care delivered. The results suggest the need to modify educational strategies that foster desirable learning for students in response to workplace demands.
