Abstract

Perception of undergraduate nursing students regarding clinical environment is essential to improve the clinical training. Aim of the Study: This study was conducted to assessing the perceptions of nursing students regarding their clinical learning environment. Methods: Peer reviewed research articles related to perception of undergraduate nursing students about CLE were searched using Boolean operators and validated MeSH terms including "perception" AND " nursing student" OR " nursing students" AND " clinical learning environment" in Pub-Med, CINAHL, and Science Direct data bases. Results: A total of 941 articles were found, 14 research articles with a total sample size of 2875 participants met the inclusion criteria. There was a discrepancy of the highest and lowest mean value for different domains of learning environment, also the relationship between satisfaction and clinical learning was significantly different for various dimensions; the highest correlation value was for the role of the lecturer nurse (r = 0.544). Conclusion: Despite the satisfactory results from different studies of nursing students' perception concerning their CLE, there is still a space for obtaining more information about nursing students' perspectives in various contexts because each has its own characteristics and circumstances.
