Background: Clinical education plays a fundamental role in forming basic skills and professional competencies for operating room and anesthesiology students. Understanding students’ perspectives on clinical training can help us to improve the quality of their clinical performance in the future. This study was conducted to determine the present status of clinical education from perspectives of operating room and anesthesiology students in mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, a number of 134 students of operating room and Anesthesiology studying in Mazandaran university of Medical science in 2018 were selected through convenient sampling. A valid and reliable questionnaire which assessed five domains of instructor, environment and facilities, educational programs, dealing with students and supervision and evaluation was applied. Data was analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive statistics, t-test, and chi- square.
Results: The mean age of the students was 21/6±1/8. The mean scores of the assessed domains were: educational programs (10/3±4/6), instructor (11/4±3/7), environment and facilities (4/9±2/5), dealing with students (4/2±1/9), supervision and evaluation (2/7±1/6) and self-efficacy (7/6±2/7). 67.9% of the participants reported the quality of clinical education as moderate. There was significant difference between the two groups regarding the educational programs domain (p<0.01).
Conclusions: The mean scores of all assessed domains were in average level. In order to improve the situation of clinical education, it is recommended to provide facilities and equipment for clinical environments and revise the tools and process of clinical evaluation. Improving instructors' performance and encouraging professional cooperation could lead to the improvement of clinical education.
