Perceived challenges of nurse educators while teaching undergraduate nursing students in Pakistan: An exploratory mixed-methods study.
Nurse educators are required to equip students with adequate theoretical and practical knowledge to provide effective nursing care. Limited studies have explored educators' challenges while teaching students. Existing studies are limited because of small sample, overreliance on qualitative approaches, and unreliable instruments that have not been tested. ⋯ Nurse educators' issues and challenges are persistent and require support from regulatory bodies and educational authorities. There is a need to develop policies to improve teaching and learning conditions for educators, provide them with the opportunities to enhance their own learning, and opportunities to collaborate with other educators in order to better prepare student nurses.
