Institutions of learning have been disrupted globally with serious implications for clinical teaching for students of health professions. The purpose of our study was to explore the perceptions of students towards online clinical teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic at Fatima College of Health Sciences. This was a descriptive qualitative study conducted on a purposive sample of 25 students from 24 June to 30 August 2020. The sample size was determined by data saturation. These were mainly nursing students in their 2nd to the 4th years of study. Students are required to have experiences, of stipulated nature and duration, in various specialty clinical settings throughout the clinical years of their programs. Approval for the study was granted by the Fatima College Research Ethics Committee (approval number: INTSTF010BSN20). The research was conducted according to the requirements of the Declaration of Helsinki. Data were collected through online semistructured questionnaires. Prospective participants were sent a soft copy of the informed consent document, and consent was indicated by clicking an "agree" link on the page that took them to the questionnaire. All participants were informed of their freedom to either participate in the study or not, without any penalty and were assured of their confidentiality. The questionnaires were kept in a password-protected file to which the researchers had sole access. Manual thematic analysis was done following the stages of organisation, familiarisation, transcription, coding, developing a thematic framework, indexing, displaying, and reporting. The major themes identified were the unfamiliar experience, challenges of online clinical learning, and possible solutions. Challenges of online clinical learning are multifaceted and require concerted multidisciplinary efforts to resolve. Nursing institutions, ours included, must develop flexible education systems that will be able to thrive in crisis and other unforeseeable circumstances.
全球的学术机构都受到了严重影响，这对健康专业学生的临床教学产生了严重影响。我们的研究目的是探讨在 COVID-19 大流行期间，法蒂玛健康科学学院学生对在线临床教学的看法。这是一项描述性定性研究，于 2020 年 6 月 24 日至 8 月 30 日期间对 25 名学生进行了研究。样本量是根据数据饱和情况确定的。这些学生主要是护理专业的 2 至 4 年级学生。学生需要在整个临床学年的各种专业临床环境中获得规定性质和持续时间的经验。该研究得到了法蒂玛学院研究伦理委员会的批准（批准号：INTSTF010BSN20）。研究根据《赫尔辛基宣言》的要求进行。通过在线半结构化问卷收集数据。研究人员向潜在参与者发送了知情同意书的软拷贝，并且通过点击页面上的“同意”链接来表示同意，该链接将他们带到了问卷。所有参与者都被告知他们有参与或不参与研究的自由，不会受到任何惩罚，并保证他们的机密性。问卷保存在受密码保护的文件中，研究人员只能访问该文件。在组织、熟悉、转录、编码、制定主题框架、索引、显示和报告阶段之后，进行了手动主题分析。确定的主要主题是陌生的体验、在线临床学习的挑战和可能的解决方案。在线临床学习的挑战是多方面的，需要协调多学科的努力来解决。护理机构，包括我们的机构，必须制定灵活的教育系统，以便能够在危机和其他不可预见的情况下蓬勃发展。
