Learning without well-grounded environment for training is like treating a

patient with no proper prescription. Clinical environment are supposed to be

coherent and have fair challenges not just for students but also for everyone who
are part of the said environment. Because this is the field where nursing student
will be molded to become the effective registered nurse in the future.
Nahid Janshidi et al. (2016) conducted a qualitative research about the
challenges of nursing students in clinical learning environment. It is an portrayal of
how nursing education is carried out in clinical environment. According to their
study, clinical environments have a multi-dimensional and quite sophisticated
social structure, wherein the low and difficult control of conditions characterizing
the structure has an effect on learning. The factors constituting this social structure
include the conditions of the clinical environment, the characteristics of the
students and educators, and the instructor-student interaction.
However, it is highly important that students be able to derive benefits from
these factors and conditions or challenges. Although, in the study found out that
students that faces challenges in clinical learning environment such as
discrimination caused by lack of communication, stress and pressure caused by lack
of theoretical knowledge are tend to have problems emotionally or psychologically.
In my opinion, I think some areas of clinical environments are unsatisfactory in
terms of providing educational experiences that enable students to learn and adopt
targeted behavior and skills. Educators and other nursing staffs should put an
efforts on it. They are responsible for creating an environment that can help
students reach their educational goals.
Moreover, as I further perceived the article, I found out that the study merely
focus on the internal problems of the nursing student in clinical environment which
is not bad. But, there are some other factor also inlined with clinical teaching that
are necessary to be tackle especially with this kind of study, for example, external
problems such as lack of instrument and facilities. These another challenges of
nursing students are common but it also needs such remedy for it can affect the
behavior and performance of nursing student in their learning clinical environment.
In solution for the aforementioned challenges in the article, each should take
congruent action, learn how to identify, adopt and accept changes. Clinical
environment will never stop on giving people some challenges it's up to us how we
are going to perceive it and take action on it.
Clinical education pertains to the application part of nursing education and
provides students the opportunity to learn under real conditions. However, the lack
of control of the conditions constituting the clinical environments can affect
learning. Identifying the challenges in clinical education in nursing is very important.
