How we use questionnaires for learner evaluation of clinical experiences

Abstract

The use of questionnaires incorporating quantitative and qualitative analysis are an integral part of practice when monitoring the learning experience for student nurses on clinical placement. This paper outlines this system in the belief that the information could be helpful to other health professionals who are responsible for monitoring the clinical learning experiences of their students. Reference is made to other systems, such as educational audit, and some of the trends identified in analysing data collected is discussed. Finally, the potential for further developing this system is noted.
