Aim: Clinical leing is a critical component of a nursing curriculum.Student satisfaction in clinical environment is crucial to foster a positive leing experience.Faculty shortages have made clinical teaching more challenging;as such,altate models of clinical teaching must be explored by nursing programs.The purpose of this study was to measure the perception of student satisfaction in regard tothe effectiveness of shared clinical teaching in nursing.Methods: Utilizing Chan’s Clinical Leing Environment Inventory (CLEI),this quantitative comparative study examined nursing students’ preferred and actual clinical leing environment.The CLEI contains 42 questions in six subscales: Individualization,Innovation,Involvement,Personalization,Task Orientation,and Satisfaction in both the actual and preferred clinical leing environment.The sample consisted of 202 nursing students in two groups: the first group had 91 students who experienced shared clinical teaching with two faculty,whereas the second group had 111 students who experienced the traditional,single faculty model.The results were analyzed using independent sample T-tests.Results: The preferred leing environment was rated highest in all six subscales.Scores of the Satisfaction subscale and the Innovation subscale for Actual Leing Environment,and the score of the Innovation subscale for Preferred Leing Environment of students experiencing shared clinical teaching with two faculty were higher than the scores of students experiencing traditional,single faculty model,with statistically significance (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion: The results indicated students preferred the shared clinical teaching model with two faculty over the single faculty model.Nursing programs can utilize this model and apply these results to develop and maintain quality clinical teaching.
