Clinical Education Environment Assessment Scale

This study aims to develop and evaluate a questionnaire that measures how health sciences students perceive the clinical environments in which they complete internships or clinical placements. The questionnaire will assess areas such as patient characteristics, supervisor support, working conditions, physical facilities, and learning experiences. Fourth-year health sciences students who have previously completed clinical training will be invited to complete an anonymous questionnaire. Participation is voluntary, and completing the questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes. No intervention, treatment, image recording, or biological sample collection will be involved. The results may help universities and clinical training institutions identify strengths and areas for improvement in clinical education environments. The developed scale may also support educational quality assurance and accreditation processes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Fourth-year undergraduate student enrolled in a health sciences program. * Previous or current experience of clinical practice, internship, or clinical placement. * Able to read and understand Turkish. * Provides voluntary informed consent to participate. Exclusion Criteria: * No previous or current clinical practice, internship, or clinical placement experience. * Incomplete questionnaire responses.
