Nursing students' appreciation of clinical supervision during work-integrated learning.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Effective clinical supervision in learning-conducive environments is required to enhance students' work-integrated learning. Conversely, ineffective clinical supervision can jeopardise students' learning and skills development. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore and describe the aspects of clinical supervision during work-integrated learning that students of a designated nursing education institution appreciated. Setting: The study was conducted at an institution in South Africa that offered a 3-year diploma programme in nursing science. The students took part in work-integrated learning at five public hospitals and 20 clinics. Methods: Descriptive qualitative research with an appreciative inquiry approach was done. Second and third-year students were purposively selected and took part in four focus group discussions. Data saturation determined the sample size of 45 participants. The 5-D Appreciative Inquiry Model applied. Results: The participants appreciated opportunities to learn how to integrate theory in practice under the supervision of professional nurses in learning-conducive clinical environments and enabling relationships with facilitators and lecturers. They wished for ongoing cooperation between the institutions involved to ensure well-resourced facilities and manuals for standardised nursing procedures. Conclusion: Nursing students require clinical supervision to benefit optimally from work-integrated learning. The supervision should be provided by hospital and clinic staff, as well as clinical facilitators and lecturers in learning-conducive environments created through cooperation between the institutions involved in the students' training. Contribution: The research findings indicate the support that students require to use learning opportunities to become clinically skilled in integrating theory and practice.
