Clinical knowledge and skills can be achieved through a conducive clinical learning environment with effective supervision. We aimedto determine physiotherapy students’ satisfaction on their clinical learning environment and supervision.Methodology:A cross-sectional study, which involved 85 physiotherapy students recruited with the convenience sampling technique from the Department of physiotherapy, University of Ghana who visited four accredited clinical sites. Participants who consented, completed an adapted Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher Evaluation Scale. Data collected was analysed using SPSS (version 20.0). Pearson’s Chi-square was used to test for association between variables.Results:Almost all 80 (94.1%) participants were satisfied with the clinical learning environment only, while more than half 52 (61.2%) had average level of satisfaction with the clinical learning environment and supervision. Majority 60 (80%) of participants had a high level of satisfaction with supervision only. The association between the participants’ satisfaction on the clinical learning environment and supervision was statistically significant (P < 0.001).Conclusion:Physiotherapy students are generally satisfied with their clinical learning environment and supervision. Periodic assessment of physiotherapy students’ satisfaction with clinical learning environment and supervision may be carried out in order to improve clinical leaning.

Background: Clinical learning environment includes everything that surrounds students and is extremely beneficial in stimulating their critical thinking and affects their professional de­velopment via focus on clinical judgment and decision–making in the clinical setting. This study aims to assess the level of satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan, Nepal. Methods: Descriptive, cross sectional study design was used to assess the satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan. Standard tool (CLES + T scale) was administered among 242 nursing students. Data was entered in IBM Sta­tistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 and was further analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results: Just more than half of the nursing students were highly satisfied (51.2%) with the clinical learning environment. The level of satisfaction among nursing students was found statistically sig­nificant with year of study and type of ward of latest clinical placement with p value <0.05. Conclusions: Nearly half of the students are still not highly satisfied towards their clinical learning environment, therefore improvement in its quality needs proper planning, implementation and supervision that too in government hospital settings.

Abstract Background: Midwifery is an emotionally challenging profession, and academic education of midwifery especially clinical learning has its own specific challenges. Midwifery students face with stressful experiences, especially related to instructor and characteristics of clinical environment, which can affect their theoretical and practical abilities. There is insufficient evidence in this field. This study aimed to explore (1) the perceived stress and stressors of midwifery students and (2) the relationships between students' stress and related factors in clinical learning environment. Methods: A cross sectional, survey design was conducted at one university in Iran. A sample of 108 students was selected using Krejcie and Morgan table in 2016. Data was collected using Persian version of Cohen's perceived stress scale, Persian questionnaire of sources of stress and demographic form. Data was analyzed using independent t, ANOVA and correlation coefficient test (α<0.05). Results: Participants returned 70 surveys (response rate, 64.8%). Approximately 56 % of the students perceived a high level of stress. The most common dimensions of stressors were "unpleasant emotions" and "humiliating experiences". The highest stressors were included "feeling suffering due to seeing for patients with critical situation", "instructor’s admonition in the presence of clinical staff" and "communication with instructor". The "interest in the field of study" had a negative impact on perception of stressors in dimensions of "clinical practices" and "interpersonal communication". Conclusions: The midwifery students reported their stress in severe level, especially in dimensions of "unpleasant emotions" and "humiliating experiences". The factors associated with the instructors have caused more stress in students. These findings will highlight need for supportive strategies by the clinical instructors. In this regard, the use of experienced instructors, the development of communication skills of the instructors, increasing coping skills of the students and the creation of a supportive environment may be helpful.
