Abstract
Background and Purpose
Nursing education programs must ensure the quality of student clinical learning experiences. The purpose of this paper is to present psychometric data on the revised digital version of the Student Evaluation of Clinical Education Environment (SECEE) v.4 instrument.
Methods
Data were extracted retrospectively from student SECEE evaluations completed between 2016 and 2019.
Results
Reliability coefficients for each of the three SECEE subscales were .92 and above. Exploratory factor analysis indicated strong loadings of all selected items on the pre-identified subscales, explaining 71.8% of total score variance. The inventory scale scores were able to discriminate differences between individual clinical sites, between clinical faculty, and between student level in the program.
Conclusion
Analysis supports the reliability and validity of the revised instrument and a sizable improvement in total variance accounted for by the contained subscales compared to previous SECEE versions.
