Abstract

<p>〔Objective〕To investigate ways by which effective collaboration can be facilitated between university teachers on the one hand and clinical nursing practice supervisors on the other in the context of clinical nursing practice for undergraduate students of a course in nursing by elucidating the actual state of collaboration between the two teaching/supervisory groups.</p><p>〔Methods〕Semi-structured interviews were conducted with university teachers and clinical nursing practice supervisors, and the narratives about collaboration between the two groups were thereafter extracted and analyzed using the modified grounded theory approach.</p><p>〔Results〕Six categories were emerged in regard to the university teachers, they being: establishing a framework to increase effectiveness of student education, establishing a relationship, expectations vis-à-vis supervisors, utilizing clinical nursing practice supervisors and bosses/colleagues as resources, acting based on an understanding of clinical nursing practice supervisors’ circumstances, and facilitating a smooth working relationship between university teachers/students and clinical nursing practice supervisors. A further five categories were emerged in regard to the clinical nursing practice supervisors, they being: building a solid foundation for the clinical nursing practice environment, maintaining communication, things that are desired of university teachers but cannot be conveyed, being supported by university teachers and bosses/colleagues, and aligning oneself with the university. These categories created in regard to the two groups both point in the same direction, establishing a collaborative relationship between the two groups while having them influence each other.</p><p>〔Discussion〕The two parties were preparing for effective education before starting teaching/supervising. Future issues and problems are that neither group could convey its expectations in regard to the other group and that the method for evaluating nursing practice supervisors should be discussed. </p>
