Outline of Final Research Achievements

Interviews with clinical mentors' training sessions' planners and administrators and observations of the clinical education model in the U.S. have revealed key information on educational programs to clinical mentors providing support to newly graduated nurses and nursing students. Clinical mentors and educational supervisors completed a questionnaire on clinical mentors' clinical learning environment (CLE) designs. The results clarified learning needs and methods on organizational, activity, and tool designs; and differences in perceptions between clinical mentors and educational supervisors. Subsequently, an educational program for CLE designers was developed and implemented as a trial. The experimental group improved in terms of organizational commitment, goal achievement orientation, supportive leadership, professional practice, cooperative relationship building, and flexibility, and self-efficacy, suggesting that the program is effective in creating a practical climate.
