Abstract Background: Multiple factors that influence the learning experience of nursing students while they are in clinical training have been identified. Nevertheless, there is no evidence on what is the optimum time a nursing student should remain in the different practice settings for achieving the required competencies nor how this duration of the placement may be influenced by other variables.The aim of the study was examine whether the relationship between the clinical placement duration and total satisfaction with clinical training is mediated by supervisory relationship and learning environment.Method: A mediation analysis was conducted using the data from a cross-sectional study conducted in 17 higher educational institutions from nine European countries with the CLES+T scale (n=1903 pre-registration nursing students). Besides, ANCOVA models were used to assess mean differences in total satisfaction by categories of supervision factors, clinical placement duration and participants’ characteristics.Results: A significant increase of total satisfaction was found as better learning environment participant’s perceived, as well as better was their satisfaction with their supervisor (both p<0.001). Students that considered the supervisor the most important person in practical training were significantly more satisfied as compared with those who considered the nurse teacher as the most important [mean 4.15 (0.89) vs 3.23 (1.16)]; p=0.001]. The satisfaction with the supervisor (IE= 0.101 [95% CI 0.016; 0.183]) and a good learning environment (IE= 0.088 [95% CI 0.003; 0.170]) mediated the relationship between clinical placement duration and total satisfaction perceived by the students.Conclusion: Nursing students with longer clinical placement duration were more satisfied with clinical training as a result of both their satisfaction with their supervisor and the good learning environment perceived. The optimal duration a nursing student should remain in the different practice settings to reach a balance between the achievement of fully competent nurses and the maximum level of satisfaction at the practicum ward should be around seven weeks. The role of nurse teachers and supervisors in contributing the acquisition of competences of nursing students needs to be clarified.

Introduction Ensuring the quality of clinical placements has long been a challenge in nursing education. This is partly due to a growing aging population requiring health services, and an increased need for nursing workforce. Both in Norway and internationally, there is a rise in the use of student-dense models, wherein several students are placed together on the same ward at the same time where the supervision of the students is the collective responsibility of the nurses. Objective The aim of this study was to explore factors that promote or inhibit learning in a student-dense ward when used as a model for clinical placement in hospitals. We examined how clinical placement is experienced in a student-dense ward, as well as how learning is facilitated. Methods A qualitative case study design was used to capture the learning environment on the student-dense ward in a comprehensive way. We used focus group interviews, in-depth interviews, and observations with students and employees at a major hospital in Norway. Results Our findings showed that the orientation days and the teaching activities in student-dense wards, the feedback students receive, the clinical facilitator's role and the student community were factors that had particular importance for good learning environments in this placement model. Conclusions To ensure the quality of clinical placements, more attention should be paid to these factors in the planning, organization, and facilitation of new and existing student-dense wards. It is paramount to provide students with thorough written feedback and to secure the clinical facilitators with enough time to conduct student supervision when organizing clinical placement as student-dense wards.

This study attempts to examine the relationship between service quality dimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy) and students’ satisfaction. Furthermore, this study is also examining critical factors in service quality dimensions (tangibility, responsiveness, reliability, assurance and empathy) that contribute most to the satisfaction of the students. The study employed both purposive and stratified sampling technique by using a set of questionnaires that was distributed to 120 college students in three of the colleges (Balkumari College, Saptagandaki Campus and Birendra Multiple Campus) in Chitwan. However the study found that there is a positive significant relationship between service quality dimensions and students’ satisfaction. The study also found that Empathy has significant relationship with student’s satisfaction in the students’ perception of service quality rendered by their colleges. Finally the study concludes that assessing level of satisfaction and continuous improvements of the quality of services that colleges provide to their students will help management and other staff of these colleges to reach organizational success.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify personality types between different university disciplines, and to establish whether there are differing requirements in the design of physical learning environment. Also to identify features of the learning environment that can support a sense of community. This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between student’s personality and preferences of features of the built environment. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative questionnaires were distributed in three university disciplines based on the variables personality, elements of the physical learning environment and features that could support a sense of community. Findings – The analysis revealed that there are differences in preferred features within the physical learning environment for the three university disciplines within a large UK-based university. It can also be seen that there are differences in personality profiles between these three university disciplines. Features of the environment that could support a sense of community have been also identified. Research limitations/implications – Those who are responsible for the design and refurbishment of higher education institutions may find this research useful to improve the facilities for students. To support the development of appropriate physical learning spaces through the understanding of students’ requirements. Originality/value – This paper presents a new perspective on how the development of higher education facilities can be designed to increase student experience by identifying specific features of the physical learning environment students prefer.
