Abstract
- Background: Clinical learning environment plays a vital role in nursing clinical education. The Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher (CLES+T) scale is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the quality of the clinical learning process in international nursing education contexts.<br />Objectives: To validate the Chinese version of the CLES+T scale that is in line with the Chinese culture and educational context.<br />Design: A cross-sectional survey.<br />Setting: Data were collected from nursing students in six provinces in different parts of China between September and October 2018.<br />Participants: Six hundred and ninety-four nursing students participated in this study.<br />Methods: Purposeful sampling was used, and students completed online survey to explore the structure of the CLES+T scale. Internal consistency reliability was tested on the total scale and its sub-dimensions using Cronbach's alpha.<br />Results: An exploratory factorial analysis identified a three-component solution, with 11 items, and explained 60.01% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the factor structure. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.82, and those of the three subscales were 0.79, 0.71, and 0.70.<br />Conclusions: The unique, stable and relatively concise Chinese version of CLES+T scale instrument could be a useful instrument for using as an assessment scale in Chinese-speaking countries.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
