Abstract

The main objective of this study is to focus on finding the factors playing a vital role that impact Nursing Students’ Perceptions and Satisfaction of the Clinical Learning Environment in the Northern Region of Malaysia. The motivation of this research could extend and enrich the knowledge of nursing education, in terms of nursing clinical performance. The theoretical framework is developed based on the CLEST model to enhance and justify its relevancy as a guide for future researchers in determining and selecting variables in similar or related research areas. Descriptive statistical analysis will be deployed to analyze the canter tendency of the respondents’ profile and items of the variable, whereas causal research will be established to study the cause-and-effect relationship between the factors of CLE and the perception and satisfaction of nursing students in CLE. The target population is nursing students currently practicing clinical work in hospitals of Northern Region Malaysia, and the sample size is determined based on the factor of effect size, power (1-β), level of significance (α), and the technique of the statistical analysis. Factor analysis and multivariate normality test will be conducted for justifying the validity and reliability of the data before proceeding to the correlation and multivariate regression testing.
