Learning Objective #1: Identify the personal attributes of nursing faculty related to the quality of clinical teaching behaviors
Learning Objective #2: Discuss improvement of the clinical teaching behaviors of nursing faculty
The purposes of this study were to explore the quality of clinical teaching behaviors of nursing faculty in diploma programs in Japan, and to identify the personal attributes of them related to it. The number of diploma programs holds more than 70% of basic nursing education programs in Japan. The conceptual framework of the study included 29 attributes of nursing faculty as the independent variables, and the quality of clinical teaching behaviors as the dependent variables. Participants completed two instruments. The first was the Faculty’s Attributes Questionnaire (FAQ) for examining the 29 attributes of nursing faculty, and the content validity was validated by a pilot study and a panel of experts. The second was the Scale of Clinical Teaching Behaviors (SCTB) developed to measure the quality of clinical teaching behaviors of nursing faculty. The SCTB was consisted of 36 items organized into 9 subscales, and has well established reliability and validity (Nakayama et al, 2004). The instruments packets were distributed to nursing faculty working at diploma programs in Japan, and the answers were returned by mail. The 564 valid data were collected and analyzed statistically. The mean score of SCTB was 133.7(SD=21.5), and the lowest mean score of the 9 subscales were “Self-evaluate teaching behaviors based on students’ performance” (mean=15.01, SD=3.75). Furthermore, the results identified that 4 of 29 attributes, including “clinical competence”, related to the quality of clinical teaching behaviors of nursing faculty (p<.01), these included “clinical competence.” These results suggested that the quality of clinical teaching behaviors of nursing faculty in diploma programs in Japan were fairly well. On the other hand, they suggested that improvement on their self-evaluation on teaching behaviors and clinical competence leads to quality clinical teaching for students.
