Supervised clinical practice plays a significant role in the nursing profession, as it has an influence on the students' clinical learning.
The aim of this study was to explore how the pre-registration nursing students find their experience on clinical supervision in the clinical placements.
The study used both quantitative and qualitative approach to collect data through focus groups (n = 144) and self-administered questionnaires (n = 590) from nursing students of various programmes in selected colleges in Malawi.
About 75% (n = 443) of the participants indicated that they received supervision from both clinical staff and Nurse Educator. However, qualitative results indicated that students received inadequate clinical supervision. Themes that emerged from the discussion included lack of human resources, learning support, availability of instructors yet not supporting learning, job insecurity and lack of remuneration as reasons for lack of supervision, role models and student guidance despite pressure and self-directed.
There is a need for clear policies regarding clinical supervision as well as a structured and well monitored process.
监督临床实践在护理专业中起着重要作用，因为它会影响学生的临床学习。
本研究旨在探讨注册前护理学生在临床实习中如何看待临床监督的体验。
本研究采用定量和定性方法，通过焦点小组（n=144）和自我管理问卷（n=590）从马拉维选定学院的不同课程的护理学生中收集数据。
约 75%（n=443）的参与者表示他们同时接受临床工作人员和护士教育者的监督。然而，定性结果表明，学生接受的临床监督不足。讨论中出现的主题包括缺乏人力资源、学习支持、讲师的可用性但不支持学习、工作不稳定和缺乏薪酬是监督不足的原因，尽管有压力和自我指导，但缺乏榜样和学生指导。
需要制定明确的临床监督政策以及结构化和监督良好的流程。
