Objective: The clinical learning environment and supervision are crucial for the development of a professional stance and identity as well as for ensuring patient safety. This study aims to investigate the influence of clinical supervision provided to nursing students by nurse facilitators in hospital settings. An additional objective was to report the relationship between clinical supervision and patient safety. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the sample consisted of 66 nursing students recruited after their clinical placement during the second year of the bachelor programme. Data were collected by means of questionnaires and analysed using a descriptive and explorative method. Results: Regarding the impact of clinical supervision, a moderately significant relationship was found between the three factors "Increased patient participation and problem solving", "User involvement in terms of patient integrity" (r = 0.48) and "Enabling patient and family member participation" (r = 0.42) and the following Effects of Supervision Scale (ESS) factors; "Interpersonal skills" (r = 0.47), "Professional skills" (r = 0.50) and "Communication skills" (r = 0.59). There was also a moderately significant relationship between the factors "Trust/Rapport" and "Influence of supervision" for the item "Supportive yet challenging relationships" (r = 0.60). In addition, there was a strong correlation between the factors "Supervision advice/support issues" and "Influence of supervision" (r = 0.73). The former correlated weakly with "User involvement", i.e., maintaining integrity (r = 0.33). Conclusions: The nursing students reported increased awareness and a strong improvement related to interpersonal, professional and communication skills. These findings emphasize the potential of clinical supervision to contribute to personal growth and a caring attitude towards patients, thereby strengthening the development of skills essential for patient safety care. A practical implication of the findings is that nursing students' clinical placement and clinical supervision can be better utilized to achieve the overall aim of nursing education, i.e., ensuring patient safety.

“…The placement has now taken on a more intense and focussed nature and clearly the preceptor has a key role to play in this dynamic. The allocation of a preceptor then is critical [19] in that the preceptor can facilitate students to be able to mediate their theoretical knowledge and the translation of that knowledge into practice. The preceptor in effect stimulates student learning and encourages them to think more critically in terms of theory and practice.…”

“…It is imperative that knowledge and skills are integrated for the next generation of nurses and this is a fundamental aspect of rostered clinical placement [19] . The opportunity to work with practicing nurses within the preceptor model is an integral and vital part of nurse education as it facilitates the development of clinical competence, the integration of theory and practice and indeed the socialisation of the student nurse into an environment that is often unstructured and unpredictable by nature [1,3] .…”

Background: Preceptors play a pivotal role in inducting, supporting, teaching and assessing students on clinical placement. This research sought to examine student nurses' experiences of preceptorship during their clinical placement in their final year of studies in order to further illuminate what is known about preceptorship in Ireland. Method:A qualitative research design was adopted for this study. Forty-seven final year nursing students were questioned using a structured enquiry schedule about their experiences of preceptorship during clinical placement. All participants were female. The data were analyzed thematically according to Smith, Flowers and Larkin's (2009) framework. Results:The results indicate that while a small minority found the experience of preceptors enhanced their learning while on clinical placement, the majority has a less than optimal experience. Reasons for this included: busy workloads of preceptors, difficulty in the accessibility of the preceptor and lack of preceptor training. Conclusions:The results highlight a number of challenges facing students and preceptors in the study. The authors advocate for a more systematic national study into preceptorship implementation in Ireland. This is necessary in order to inform a more coherent framework with national standards for preceptor training and implementation.

“…Student evaluation should create a supporting learning environment and a positive atmosphere for the student (Jokelainen et al, 2011;Saarikoski et al, 2002;Pearcey and Elliott, 2004) that encourages good relationship with colleagues, discussions and encourages students' curiosity (Kell and Jones, 2007;Senge, 2006;Henderson et al, 2012;Chan, 2001). In addition, during the learning process students want to be treated as individuals and colleagues so students' learning independence, responsibility and self-management are increasingly important (Andrews and Chilton, 2000). Some authors (Pellatt, 2006;Bray and Nettleton, 2007;Webb and Shakespeare, 2008) have suggested organizing teaching in a formal, impartial, constructive and objective manner without the influence of other factors like friendship.…”

To evaluate all the variables that affect nursing education is important for nursing educators to have valid and reliable instruments that can measure the perceived quality of the Bachelor Degree in Nursing. This study testing the Scale for Quality Evaluation of the Bachelor Degree in Nursing instrument and its psychometric properties with a descriptive design. Participant were first, second and third year students of the Bachelor Degree in Nursing Science from three Italian universities. The Scale for Quality Evaluation of Bachelor Degree in Nursing consists of 65 items that use a 4 point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". The instrument comes from a prior version with 41 items that were modified and integrated with 24 items to improve reliability. Six hundred and fifty questionnaires were completed and considered for the present study. The mean age of the students was 24.63 years, 65.5% were females. Reliability of the scale resulted in a very high Cronbach's alpha (0.96). The construct validity was tested with factor analysis that showed 7 factors. The Scale for Quality Evaluation of the Bachelor Degree in Nursing, although requiring further studies, represents a useful instrument to measure the quality of the Bachelor Nursing Degree.
