The preceptors also perceived that the quality of clinical teaching and learning was average as the they scored it 2.04 on a scale of 0-4 (95% CI:1.95-2.13).

Conclusion: Preceptors perceived that nursing education institutions and clinical facilities need to work together to improve clinical nursing education. This calls for the need for an effective collaboration between clinical facilities and nursing education institutions to develop training programmes for preceptors to improve their skills in clinical teaching and clinical assessment of students.}, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {172--184} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v12i2.46084}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/46084} }
