Abstract
Background and Objective: Nursing process is the core of nursing care. Application of nursing process leads to achieve comprehensive and scientific care of patients. Despite teaching of nursing process in nursing faculties, this systematic method is not used in Iran. So, this study was performed to detect the nursing instructors’ and nursing students’ perspective toward the obstacles of nursing process in Zanjan Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery.
Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study in which 67 persons (19 instructors and 48 nursing students) participated in the study according to census. The data was gathered using questionnaire and was analyzed by SPSS 16.
Results: The most important individual and management barriers from the perspective of instructors were lack of sufficient information about concept of the nursing process (89.5%), and inadequate knowledge about the nursing process in intensive care units (94.7%) respectively. Moreover the most important individual and management barriers from the perspective of nursing students were inadequate knowledge about the nursing process (81.3%), lack of authority support for implementation of the nursing process (87.5%) respectively. There was significant difference in 4 items of obstacles of nursing process between instructors and nursing students (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: According to the findings, authorities must help promote the health care by employing sufficient nurses, educating the students and providing necessary context for application of nursing process.

Abstract
Introduction: Clinical education accounts for about 50% of nursing education programs and plays an important role in the full achievement of clinical nursing students, so they should change the environment in a way that facilitates students' learning and education. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supportive clinical environment in internship period on clinical competence of nursing students.
Methods and materials: This randomized qusi- experimental study was carried out with 60 nursing students who allocated in two groups of intervention and control randomly in educational hospitals of Mashhad. For interventional students was performed the clinical support program, which included three components of knowledge, skills, and learning platform for two weeks. Before and after the intervention, their clinical competency was measured by Meretoja modified clinical competence scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 and independent t-test, Mann-Whitney, paired T-test and Chi-square.
Results: The result of independent t-test showed that after the intervention, the mean score of clinical competency of the students in the intervention group (80.8 ± 16.6 of 100) was significantly (68.3 ± 10.9 of 100) more than the control group (p= 0.003). Also the mean score of clinical competency of the intervention group in the dimensions of patient assistance, education, guidance and therapeutic measures was significantly higher than that of the control group (P <0.05).
Conclusions: Creating a supportive clinical environment will enhance the clinical competence of the students, especially in the areas of patient assistance and further education and guidance, and it is recommended that more attention be paid to planning clinical nursing education.

Abstract
Background & Objective: The increased use of electronic resources in education has necessitated the transformation of traditional teaching methods into modern educational technologies. The present study aimed to compare the effects of inquiry-based learning(IBL) and smartphone-based application learning (SBAL) on clinical performance self-efficacy (CPSE) of undergraduate nursing students in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at the NICU of Urmia University of Medical Sciences in Urmia, Iran, between September 2020 and February 2021. A convenience sampling method was used to select 64 undergraduate nursing students who were assigned to three groups. The SBAL group (n=21) and the IBL group (n=22) received six training sessions (60 minutes each session) along with conventional clinical education, while the control group(n=21) received conventional clinical education. All groups completed the CPSE scale before and after their internship. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 24) using statistical tests, including Chi-square, paired t-test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Bonferroni multiple comparisons. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean increase in the total CPSE score was significantly different among the three groups (P<0.001). The SBAL (P<0.001) and IBL (P<0.001) groups demonstrated a more marked increase in the CPSE score compared to the control group. In addition, the increase in scores in all CPSE domains was higher in the intervention groups trained by SBAL (P<0.001) and IBL (P<0.01) compared to the control group. Nonetheless, there was no significant difference in the increase in CPSE scores between the SBAL and IBL groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggested that both SBAL and IBL can enhance the CPSE of nursing students undergoing conventional clinical training. Nevertheless, no significant difference was observed between the two methods in terms of improving the self-efficacy of clinical performance. Future studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to compare the effectiveness of these methods.
