Conclusion
In recent years, nursing education focused on
theoretical education & deep gap between
theoretical & clinical education created.
Many nursing researchers reported that
nursing students, in spite of good knowledge
base, weren’t skillful in clinical settings. In
result, with entrance of these unskillful
students to the nursing care system, the
quality of this system falls day to day.
Clinical teaching of students and continuing
education is vital for professional
development.
Clinical teaching is a individualized or group
teaching to the nursing students in the
clinical area by the nurse educators, staff
nurse and clinical nurse manager.
Formulating objectives
Determining the student knowledge by
conducting a test
Planning the content for ward teaching
depending on the student’s knowledge
Organizing the programme
Implementing & evaluating the sessions.
Clinical education should reflect the nature
of professional practice
Clinical teaching is more important than
class room teaching
The nursing student in the clinical setting is
a learner, not a Nurse
Sufficient learning time should be provided
before performance is evaluated
Clinical teaching is supported by a climate of
mutual Trust & respect
Case Study
Case Analysis
Case incident Technique
• The student with the help of the clinical
instructor selects one of her patients for
intensive study which she finds interesting. The
student tries to solve the problems through the
study, consultation and experimentation and
decides the nursing measures which will meet
the patient’s individual needs and solve nursing
problems. The student must be given opportunity
to take care of the patient over a long duration
of time, to understand his/her behavior, to gain
his/her confidence, to learn the real nature of
his/her problems, and to note the effect of
nursing measures and the results of the care.
The concentrated effort on the part of the
student to define and solve the problems in
the patient care arouses interests in him and
results in better nursing care. The students
learn to recognize the effect of personal and
social factors on illness and recovery, to
organize the information and identify the
problems.
• The student also learns about the problem
solving approach to nursing. The report may
act as a reference material for the student.
• The student can present the report in front
of the group and it should be evaluated in
terms of content, organization, clarity of
thought and interest. The oral presentation
helps the student to speak in front of the
group.
Identify the barriers
Consider learning style
Plan activities collaboratively
Create learning environment
Effective clinical teaching
Extend evaluation possibilities
Designate
Encourage experts
Documented
Valid
Reliable
Objective
Comprehensive
Useful
Evaluation should be based upon first-hand
(Observed) or Objective (written)
information
It should match with the clinical skill or
knowledge being assessed
Complex skill may require multiple sources
of evaluation before promotive / certification
It should consider feasibility in terms of time,
money, space, trained observers / raters
Learning by doing is the most effective
method of teaching. The laboratory of the
nursing students is the clinical field. The
nursing students get the practical experience
and skill doing procedures by taking care of
the patients. The nurse manager manages
and controls the practical field of nursing
students. The clinical teaching should well
organized to provide the needed experience
to the students. The nurse manager plays a
dual role, she is aware of the practical
problems, and she should use each and every
opportunity to teach the nursing students.
