Abstract:

The nurses’ knowledge is closely related to practical clinic and the achievements in this area come through the implementation of the practical clinic in the health institutions. Nursing students should demonstrate their competencies in medical environment

 

The aim of the study: To conform cluster model is the right one to be followed in realizing the teaching practices on the nursing students of the Public Health Faculty

Specific objectives: To improve the students’ abilities toward the basic nursing procedures. Practicing the students in small groups by working with one nurse.

 

Methodology of the study: This is an experimental study, realized in the Faculty of Public Health during the time period of March-June 2013, lasting for 15 weeks during the spring semester of 2013 academic year. This study was realized with the students of Public Health Faculty who work at the Hospital of Vlora. To evaluate the clinical skills of student’s practice I used the (CLES+T) evaluation scale (Saarikoski & Leino-Kilpi 2008). This questionnaire was adapted according to the population and the aim of the study. The statistical analyses was done by SPSS Statistics 17.0 (Aug,23, 2008)

 

Results: A very important element of the study was the pre and post evaluation of the students toward the realization of ten nursing procedures. The procedures that follow have an improved difference on the grade scale; medicine administration IV for the experimental group 53.3%, while the control group 16.7%. The students of experimental group referred that diring practice they often think of the nursing job that is coming and gradulay they should be creating their proffesional identity. They raport that are incouraged for the personnel 53.3%, had positive experience and this is very important by 83.3% of the experimental group. The nursing supported this model in order to work with the students.

 

Conclusions: Results of this study showed that the implementation of cluster model during clinical practice, in the general nursing and midwives students and compared to the traditional model of training has increased the ability and the interest in students for the work during practice. This is noticed by some of the procedures performed independently by the students in different wards.
