Abstract

The civility of registered nurses is crucial to nursing students’ learning in clinical practice. This descriptive study aimed to examine the civility of registered nurses as perceived by nursing students at the Faculty of Nursing, Chiang Mai University. Study participants included 134 sophomore nursing students.  Data collection was undertaken from August to September 2017.  The instrument was a questionnaire on the registered nurses’ civility adapted from the Nursing Student Perception of Civil and Uncivil Behaviors in the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory developed by Tecza et al.  The questionnaire had a content validity index of 1 as confirmed by a panel of experts. The reliability was tested and yielded as 0.91. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics.

          The results revealed that the overall registered nurses’ civility as perceived by nursing students was at a high level ( = 3.22; SD = 0.39). Regarding each dimension of civility, it was showed that mutual respect and guided participation were at a very high level ( = 3.27; SD = 0.48, = 3.32; SD = 0.40 respectively) while student centeredness was at a high level ( = 3.04; SD = 0.45).

            Results of this study can be used by the nursing education administrators to organize a practicum that facilitates more effective learning of nursing students
