Færdighedslaboratoriet: Et godt og trygt læringsrum

Learning labs enable students to exercise and develop clinical skills. Nursing students are a heterogeneous group, thus it is important to focus on their individual preferences in exercising clinical skills. The aim of this study was to explore nursing students’ preferences for exercising clinical skills in learning labs. The study used a sequential exploratory mixed methods research design
that consisted of an initial qualitative focus group interview followed by a quantitative questionnaire study. We found that practical exercises in learning labs promote the learning of the students’ clinical competences. The students suggest case work including pre – and post-supervision in the exercise of clinical skills. They suggest that learning lab training is placed throughout their in the theoretical part of course of study.
