Özet

Giriş ve amaç: Hemşirelik eğitiminde klinik uygulama, öğrencilerin mesleki gelişim süreçlerinin hayati bir bölümüdür. Klinik eğitmen ise öğrenci için kaliteli klinik uygulamanın önemli bir parçasıdır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin etkili bir klinik eğitmenin sahip olması gereken özellikler hakkındaki görüşlerinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışma nitel araştırma tasarımında, durum araştırması deseni ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya en az iki dönem klinik uygulama yapmış ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan hemşirelik öğrencileri davet edilmiş, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf, Z kuşağı 10 öğrenci ile araştırma tamamlanmıştır. Öğrenciler ile Zoom programı üzerinden yarı yapılandırılmış form yardımıyla derinlemesine nitel görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Veriler içerik analizi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular ve sonuç: Verilerin analizi sonucunda dört ana tema belirlenmiştir. Bu temalar; ‘Bilgi ve deneyim’, ‘Karakter ve kişilik özellikleri’, ‘Kişilerarası ilişkiler ve iletişim’ ve ‘Eğitim ve öğretim’dir. Katılımcılar bu temaları klinik deneyimlerini geliştiren önemli yönler olarak tanımlamışlardır. Elde edilen bulgular öğrencilerin bakış açısıyla klinik eğitmen özelliklerinin nasıl algılandığı, klinik deneyimlerini nasıl etkilediği ve bu deneyimlerde klinik eğitmenin rolü hakkında bilgi sağlamıştır.
