Abstract

The study investigated undergraduate nursing students’ perceptions of the clinical learning environment (CLE) in Nepal. A sample of 117 undergraduate students from two nursing campuses under the Tribhuwan University was participated. A semi-structured self-administered questionnaire was used to assess various dimensions of the CLE, including pedagogical environment, personalization, student involvement, innovation, individualization, task orientation, and supervision. The findings revealed that approximately one-third of the students had a high perception level of the CLE. Student involvement received the highest mean score, while individualization and innovation scored lower. Results of the study suggest areas for improvement in the clinical education of nursing students in Nepal.
