Seasoned clinical teachers are in short supply and high demand. Although many nursing programs have developed orientation programs for new clinical teachers, many issues arise when students are assigned to health care and community agencies. This study developed and tested the Clinical Teaching Knowledge Test (CTKT), a 40-item multiple-choice test. Items were based on clinical teaching literature and clinical vignettes provided by experienced nursing faculty. A convenience sample (n = 160) of faculty who taught prelicensure students attending baccalaureate programs completed the second version of the test. Proportion correct index, point biserial correlation, and Kuder-Richardson 20 statistics are reported. Proportion correct indexes less than .75 revealed that items testing legal responsibilities to patients, student-faculty relations, counseling approaches, education theory in clinical teaching, students' legal rights, and nursing administrators' rights and responsibilities challenged participants. Results of future testing may help faculty members plan workshops that foster explorations of areas to improve clinical teaching and provide a stimulus for ongoing conversation and reflection about clinical teaching. Additional testing of the CTKT is necessary.
经验丰富的临床教师供不应求。尽管许多护理项目都为新的临床教师制定了入职培训计划，但当学生被分配到医疗保健和社区机构时，仍会出现许多问题。本研究开发并测试了临床教学知识测试（CTKT），这是一项包含40道选择题的测试。题目基于临床教学文献和经验丰富的护理教师提供的临床案例。一个由教授参加学士学位课程的准执照学生的教师组成的便利样本（n = 160）完成了该测试的第二版。报告了正确比例指数、点二列相关系数和库德-理查森20统计量。正确比例指数小于0.75表明，测试对患者的法律责任、师生关系、咨询方法、临床教学中的教育理论、学生的合法权利以及护理管理人员的权利和责任的题目对参与者构成了挑战。未来测试的结果可能有助于教师规划研讨会，促进对改进临床教学领域的探索，并为关于临床教学的持续对话和反思提供动力。有必要对CTKT进行进一步测试。
