Psychometric properities of the Polish version of clinical learning environment inventory

Abstract

Background Clinical experience is a crucial activity for nursing students. The way students` perceive clinical placement exerts an immense influence on the learning process. This study aims to test the psychometric properties of a 19-item version of the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory under Polish clinical conditions. Method For this study, Discriminant validity and Cronbach’s alpha reliabilities were computed. In order to measure content validity, the criterion validity Generalized Self Efficacy Scale and the Life Orientation Test - Revised were used. Results Cronbach’s Alpha for the Clinical Facilitator Support of Learning Scale and the Satisfaction with Clinical Placement scale is 0.949 and 0.901, respectively. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient indicates the existence of a positive correlation between the students’ satisfaction with clinical placement and their [overall] life optimism. Age correlates negatively with perceived teacher support and positively with satisfaction with clinical placement. The sense of self-efficacy correlates negatively with their satisfaction with clinical placement. Clinical Learning Environment Inventory − 19 could be a useful tool to evaluate the quality of the clinical learning process in Polish conditions.

Psychosocial Determinants of Stress Perceived among Polish Nursing Students during Their Education in Clinical Practice

“…In the Polish version of the Cronbach’s alpha scale, teacher support in regard to learning is 0.949 for the scale, whereas satisfaction with hospital stay is 0.901 for the scale. The values obtained indicate that the designed scale is a reliable tool [ 32 ].…”

Reviewing ADANCO 2.3.1 for a Modern Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model to be Used in Online Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Life satisfaction, self-esteem, health, and functionality are four critical components of QoL that may be defined and quantified by various methods (Vaez et al, 2004), all of which are especially relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. As expected, studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed significant declines in well-being and, in particular, life satisfaction (Aslan et al 2020;Bodys-Cupak, 2021;Rogowska et al, 2020;Rogowska et al, 2021). In general, satisfaction with life arises from various benefits, including increased positive social interactions, social support, marital satisfaction (Pavot & Diener, 2 0 0 8 ) , job performance, career satisfaction, organizational commitment, and improved physical health.…”
