Clinical environment in nurse training

Clinical teaching is a vital part of the undergraduate professional training of healthcare professionals. Ensuring interdisciplinary clinical teaching, collaboration between educational institutions and clinical sites, and preparing students for new roles and ways of learning in the workplace are key to this process.

The aim of this monograph is to present in a comprehensive form the three types of aspects of the clinical learning environment: aspects of terminology (naming roles, process, methods of student management), organisational (models of clinical teaching, management and assessment strategies in the workplace) and methodological (audit tools).

The monograph also provides a comparative and comprehensive overview of specific factors influencing the process of clinical teaching in healthcare institutions from the perspective of students and participating departments. It can be a useful and unique resource for the professional community involved in creating an effective clinical environment.

It will be especially appreciated by teachers, mentors and students of mentoring, respectively. staff of educational institutions and health care facilities collaborating in clinical teaching.
