Introduction: Many educators believe that active participation of clinical nurses in education is one of the facilitating factors in educational goals. This study aimed to determine obstacles and facilitators of clinical nurse’s cooperation in clinical education of nursing students in Tehran hospitals in 2014.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 384 samples were selected from wards where nursing students were educating clinically by multilevel random sampling. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics' questionnaire. Then, the data were analyzed by the SPSS software (version 16).
Results: The results showed that individual obstacles including crowded ward and nurses’ fatigue (57.1%), structural obstacles including weak educational planning (26.5%) and administrative obstacles including complains of the patients and their families (16.4%) were ranked as the most important obstacles. Also, nurses' sufficient knowledge and skills (21%), providing a supporting environment and educational planning (57.8%), determining the duties of the students, and identifying the person responsible for performance of the students (21.2%) were mentioned as the most important facilitators of clinical nurses’ cooperation.
Conclusions: Since one of the difficulties and obstacles relates to individual obstacles, it seems that reducing or overcoming this challenge can lead to eliminate nurse’s cooperation barriers. This requires collaboration among educators, clinical nurses, educational supervisors, head nurses, nurse managers and other managerial levels responsible for educational planning and other top managerial levels.
