Abstract
Aim: The aim of this research was to determine senior nursing students views and expectations about the emergency department clinical practice. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out in a school of nursing in Ankara during the 2011-12 academic year. No sampling method was employed as all 78 senior nursing students volunteered to take part in the study. The data were collected througha data-collection form and Clinical Learning Environment Scale (CLES) . Results: The expectations of the senior nursing students in the emergency department clinical practice were to participate actively in clinical practice (94.9%) and to meet with health care professionals who showed positive attitudes (89.7%). The students stated that the clinical practice improved their nursing practice (8.04±1.68) and nursing skills based on professional knowledge (7.87±1.80). The mean of the total CLES of students is 72.67±8.99 and the mean of the personnel-student relationship subscale is 19.37±3.82 out of 30. A positive relationship was found between CLES scores and nursing students views regarding contributions of the clinical practice to both personal and professional development. Conclusion: This study showed that during the emergency department clinical practice, the learning environment was positive and provided signifi cant contributions to the students personal and professional development. However, it is thought that there are some limitations in terms of providing opportunities to practice the theoretical knowledge learned during education. Therefore, this study is valuable to reassess students views and expectations during the emergency department clinical practice.
