Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the assessment of the clinical learning environment (CLE) of the fourth-year nuclear medicine technology students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute during the A.Y. 2022-2023. This study utilized a descriptive survey quantitative research design. Data were gathered using a survey-type questionnaire divided into demographics and the 25-item Undergraduate Clinical Education Environment Measure (UCEEM). UCEEM, developed by Strand, Sjoborg, Stalmeijer, Wichmann-Hansen, Jakobsson, and Edgren (2013), identified four factors influencing a CLE. The factors include preparedness for student entry and engagement, opportunities to learn in and through work and quality of supervision, equal treatment, workplace interaction patterns, and student inclusion. The gathered data were treated using frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Mann-Whitney U test.

The study showed that the majority of the respondents were female and were assigned to private hospitals. Most respondents assessed their overall CLE as optimal in terms of the four factors, preparedness for student entry and engagement, opportunities to learn in and through work and quality of supervision, equal treatment, workplace interaction patterns, and student inclusion. Findings reported equal treatment with the lowest number of students that assessed the factor as optimal and the only factor with a respondent that deemed it poor. CLE assessments did not differ between sexes or type of hospital assignment. However, male respondents had a significantly higher assessment of workplace interaction patterns and student inclusion.
