Popis: Aims: To assess nursing undergraduates’ experiences of the clinical learning environment during clinical practice in hospital, and to compare differences perceptions among groups. Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed. A sample of 402 nursing undergraduates from two universities in China was participated. Data were collected by the Chinese version of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher (CLES + T). Independent-sample t-tests were performed to examine the mean differences between categories of binary demographic characteristics. Results: The clinical learning environment was evaluated by nursing undergraduates in China in medium level. The sub-dimension Supervisory Relationship displayed the highest mean value, and the lowest score was calculated for the sub-dimension Role of the Nurse Teacher. Students who have won scholarships or had interests in nursing or practiced in affiliated hospital were more satisfied with the clinical learning environment. The items describing the NT as a team member of the nursing team had the overall lowest scores. Conclusion: The assessment of the results revealed that student nurses were basically satisfied with their clinical placement experiences. The dimension Role of the nursing teacher displayed low scores indicating a general uncertainty among the students in relation to what they could expect from the nurse teacher.
