Abstract

Objective: To explore the factors that enhance and hamper learning of medical nursing students using clinical skill lab. Study Design: Basic qualitative study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out from 03 April to 29 September 2017, in Clinical skill lab of Fazaia Medical College, Islamabad affiliated hospital. Materials and Methods: One to one semi structured interviews was conducted and qualitative data was collected. Literature search was done extensively before formulating the interview questionnaire. This was followed by expert validation. Audio recording was done of all the interviews, the same were transcribed, coded and analyzed both manually and by importing it into Pro 11 version of NVivo; this was followed by thematic analysis. Results: Twenty participants, 6 males and 14 females participated in the study, with minimum of 6 to 9 months training in CSL. All the participants confirmed that the training in the CSL increased their motivation and confidence, a large majority agreed that their teachers/facilitators demonstrated the skills in a professional manner, the facilitators were vigilant during the teaching sessions and observed the trainees while they practiced, most of the trainees acknowledged that they had completed their training utilizing all the equipment. The participants appreciated the learning in CSL, the knowledge, skills, experiences and confidence, they acquired. However they mentioned the shortage of space, time given and equipment provided for their training. Conclusion: All the CSL trainees strongly endorsed this method of hands on training, they narrated that inspirations, motivation, training and guidance provided by the instructors enhanced their learning in CSL, while shortage of time for practice, space in CSL and manikins hampered their learning.
