The Effect of Touchpoint Method on Clinical Learning; Experience With Nursing Students

Outcome Measures: Clinical Learning Climate Scale: This measurement tool used in the study was developed by Demiral Yılmaz (2010). This scale consists of 36 items (Demir Yılmaz, 2010). The scale is scored using a 5-point Likert scale (I completely disagree: 1 - I completely agree: 5). Three dimensions are defined in the factor analysis of the scale. These dimensions are; clinical environment, emotional climate and motivation. Student Satisfaction Scale-Short Form: SSS-SF is the shortened and revised version of the "Student Satisfaction Scale" developed by Baykal et al. to determine the satisfaction of students studying at nursing schools, by Baykal et al. in 2011. In the evaluation of the 53 items in the scale, a five-point Likert-type measurement is used, including "5-Strongly agree, 4- Agree, 3-Undecided, 2-Disagree, 1-Strongly disagree". As the average score approaches 1 in the scale as a whole and in the sub-dimensions, the student is considered to be dissatisfied, and as the score approaches 5, the student is considered to be satisfied. The scale was found to be highly reliable, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.97 in total. The scale has 5 sub-dimensions, namely, faculty members, school administration, participation in decisions, scientific, social and technical opportunities, and quality of education. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 265 and the lowest score is 53. As the average score on the scale as a whole and in the sub-dimensions approaches 1, the student is considered to be insatiable, and as the score approaches 5, the student is considered to be satisfied.
