Abstract
Despite considerable progresses in medical and nursing education in the last decade, there are many problems in nursing education especially in clinical settings. To prevent the harmful effects, finding and solving those problems seems to be crucial. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine the nursing educators’ problems. This study was done on 40 nursing educators who had more than 5-year educational experience in Tehran universities in 2015. A descriptive problem-solving oriented method was used. Moreover, tools included a demographic questionnaire and educators’ problems in 5 domains were comprised individual, role playing, structural, interactional, and facility related problems. The results of study showed that paying no attention to the educator experience and not decreasing their workload, insufficient knowledge of ward managers about educators roles and authorities, inequality of the course units with clinical training hours, inappropriate professional communication between physicians, nursing educators and students, and insufficient welfare facilities in hospitals were respectively the most important problems in each of the above-mentioned domains. According to the results, paying attention to this domain may improve the quality of education.
