Abstract

Background and Objectives: Assessing the Satisfaction Level of Nursing Students towards Clinical Placement across Academic year in Private Nursing Collages At Bannu. The aim of this research was to assess the satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students regarding their clinical placements in Private Nursing Colleges at Bannu.
METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with nursing students from private nursing colleges in Bannu. An adapted questionnaire was used from a study published in 2023 to assess their clinical satisfaction in different areas, such as mentorship, availability of resources, and interactions with instructors. The sample consisted of 70.2% male and 29.8% female students belonging to both third and fourth-year academic levels.
RESULTS: Many students experienced the clinical placements with low to moderate satisfaction. Only 20.8% demonstrated high satisfaction, while 42.3% reported a low satisfaction level. Fourth-year students were satisfied more than third-year students, and there was a positive correlation between academic progression and clinical comfort. General hospital setting: Allocation to general hospitals provided exposure to a wide range of clinical experiences but had several stressors regarding the level of acuity and availability of resources (77.4%).
CONCLUSION: Much lies behind the influencing factors for clinical satisfaction regarding nursing students it is growing with a greater emphasis on the improvement of mentorship, resource allocation, and gender-sensitive support. The development of such areas would improve the experiences of learning and potential satisfaction levels of the students. Future longitudinal approaches within a diversified setting of research will dissect causative factors relating to clinical satisfaction.
