This study is aimed at assessing the nursing students’
perceptions of clinical nursing training in selected nursing programmes
in Enugu State. Five specific objectives and two null hypotheses were
formulated to guide the study. Descriptive cross-section design was
adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the nursing
programmes and the class level of the students. A total population of
442 nursing students was used for the study. A self-developed
questionnaire in 4 point modified Likert type scale with reliability of
0.970 was used for data collection. The questionnaire was distributed to
the students in the classroom setting with 99.77% return rate.
Information derived from the questionnaire were subjected to descriptive
and t-test statistics testing at 0.05 level of significance. Results
were presented in Table as frequencies, percentages, means and standard
deviations. Findings revealed that nursing students had positive
perceptions in clinical placement, clinical teaching and clinical
evaluation but revealed that the students showed negative perception in
clinical supervision. There were significant differences in perception
of clinical training between the university-based and hospital-based
nursing students (P-value < 0.05). There was no significant
difference in the perceptions of clinical training between the male and
female nursing students (P-value > 0.05), but female nursing students
showed negative perception in clinical supervision. It is therefore
recommended that; enough clinical supervisors should be employed and
equal attention should be given to both male and female students, the
university-based and hospital-based nursing students during clinical
training etc. Suggestions for further studies were also made.
