Read the detailed description
This descriptive and cross-sectional study aims to examine the relationship between nursing students' perceptions of the clinical learning environment and their person-centered care competencies. The study will be conducted between September 1, 2026, and September 1, 2027, with undergraduate students studying in the Department of Nursing at Yalova University Faculty of Health Sciences. The population will consist of 346 students, and reaching the entire population without sampling is targeted. Data will be collected using a digital questionnaire (Google Forms) outside of class hours. The data collection tools consist of three parts: Personal Information Form: A 12-item form developed by the researchers based on literature, including students' descriptive characteristics. Clinical Learning Environment Scale for Nursing Students (CLES-NS): Developed by Xu et al. (2024), consisting of 19 items and three sub-dimensions (goal-focus, interpersonal relationship, and learning support). Person-Centered Care Competency (PCCC) Scale: Developed by Jee-In Hwang (2015), consisting of 17 items and four sub-dimensions (respecting patient perspectives, encouraging patient participation in care processes, providing patient comfort, and advocating for patient rights). Statistical analyses will be performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0, utilizing descriptive statistics, normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov / Shapiro-Wilk), Independent Samples t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis, and Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient.
