The purpose of this study is to identify the perceptions degree of nursing students and faculty of characteristics of clinical faculty that are most beneficial to student learning outcomes and whether there are differences between these two groups. Clinical faculty members have a pivotal role in the education and development of nursing students. Exploration of effective characteristics provides insight into improvement of educational programs for developing nurses. Therefore, it is useful to identify characteristics that lead to highly effective skills and techniques of those in instructional roles. More research is needed to clarify the characteristics of clinical faculty that are most beneficial to student learning outcomes. Objectives: 1.To identify the most effective clinical teaching behavior as perceived by the student and faculty of college of nursing. 2.To compare the perception of effective clinical behavior as perceived by the student and faculty of college of nursing. Design: The study will employ a descriptive exploratory design with a self-reporting questionnaire. Setting: The population is all students enrolled in nursing College of Hail University. The sample for this study will consist of (n = 200) an anticipated convenience sample of 150 nursing students in various levels of their programs and 50 faculty members from the same programs. Instrument and tools: The instrument used in this study, was adapted from the Clinical Teaching Evaluation instrument. The CTE was developed by Dr. Carolyn Fong at San Francisco State University in San Francisco; CA. Written permission to use the instrument was obtained. This instrument was selected for use in relation to the content it encompassed. The CTE consists of the most prevalent behavior categories (nursing competence, teaching competence and consideration of students) found repeatedly in prior studies involving effective clinical teaching behaviors. The CTE instrument consists of 25 clinical teaching behaviors in which the subjects rated the importance of each behavior using a 5-point Likert - type scale ranging from 5-very important to 1-of no importance. Additional ranking of important teaching behaviors found were then listed in order of importance in section ii. Section ii requests the students to rank the top five most important teaching behaviors listed on the instrument in order of importance. A brief demographic survey of the sample was included to determine student status. The CTE has three specific categories of behaviors that accumulate the (25) individual behaviors which include: teaching competence (7), nursing competence (9), and consideration of students (9). Findings: The study findings are the result of ranked mean item scores based on the percentage response of the 25 item CTE instrument and the results of a Mann Whitney U test conducted from the students and faculty sample data. Key Conclusion: The foundation of this study is based on the enhancement of nursing education and the identification of effective clinical teaching behaviors as perceived by nursing students and faculty.Keywords

Acupressure has been used frequently to improve labour, manage labour pain, and shorten delivery time. However, there has been little research-based evidence to support the positive effects of acupressure in the obstetric area and obstetric nursing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of SP6 acupressure on labour pain and delivery time in primigravida women in labour. The study was conducted at selected Hospitals in Puducherry. Its design was a randomized controlled clinical trial study using a single-blinded method. One hundred (100) primigravida women in labour were randomly assigned to either the SP6 acupressure (n = 50) or control group (n = 50). Acupressure was practiced 35 times in total on the SP6 point of both legs in the SP6 acupressure group; 15 times (during contraction) when cervical dilation was 2-3 cm, 10 times when cervical dilation was 5-6 cm and 10 times at 9-10 cm dilation, while the women in the control group received standard care. Labour pain was measured five times using a structured questionnaire of a subjective labour pain scale (visual analogue scale-VAS) when dilation was 2-3 cm (VAS 2), 5-6 cm (VAS 3) and 8-9 cm (VAS 4) before and after acupressure was applied to the SP6 point (VAS 1), and finally at the early postpartum period (VAS 5). The duration of labour in both groups was measured with a parto-graph and the length of delivery time was calculated in two stages: from 3 cm cervical dilation to full cervical dilation, and from full cervical dilation to delivery. There were significant differences between the groups in subjective labour pain scores (except VAS 4) (P < 0.001). The duration of the Phase one (3 cm dilatation to full dilatation) and Phase two (full dilatation to birth) in the acupressure group was shorter than the control group (Phase one, 225 min and 320 min, respectively; Phase two, 15 min and 20 min, respectively; both P < 0.001). It was determined that SP6 acupressure was effective in decreasing pain and duration of labour.Keywords
