FACULTY PROJECTS
This research was conducted parallel to the implementation of a project which was funded by the Higher Education Enhancement Project Fund (HEEPF). It aims at promoting clinical teaching skills among sixty five clinical nurse instructors of the faculties of nursing in Egypt. The clinical instructors were subjected to a structured teaching/ training sessions that included teaching group training session encompassing the main competencies inherent in the clinical instructors role performance. Two research hypotheses were formulated to achieve the aim of the study; H1. Post-participation subjects' conceptualization of clinical instructor role component scores will be higher than their pre- participation ones, H2. Post-participation subjects' conceptualization of clinical instruction competence scores will be higher than their pre- participation scores. One group pre and post test pre-experimental design was utilized to be conducted in this study. A sample of convenience of 65 female clinical nurse instructors, representing were recruited for the study different academic departments of nursing specialties at the faculties of nursing in Egypt. Three instruments were utilized for data collection: (a) Role profile appraisal scale, (b) Clinical written simulation cards, and (c) Participants evaluation form for the teaching / training sessions and a socio-demographic data sheet. The results of this study documented the effectiveness of the teaching training sessions in promoting the participant clinical instructor competence, as evident by their higher post participation Role profile Appraisal and Clinical Instruction Competence Scores as compared to their prior participation scores. Therefore the two research hypotheses were statistically supported. The researchers recommended to replicate the study with the addition of control group(s), and using additional instruments to measure personality characteristics of the subjects, and motivation related to the participation with emphases on application and evaluation of physical assessment skills. The study recommended the teaching training program should be replicated to wider population representing faculties of nursing to ensure dissemination and sustainability which was of the ultimate goal of the project.
