АДАПТАЦИЯ И ПИЛОТНО ПСИХОМЕТРИЧНО ТЕСТВАНЕ НА БЪЛГАРСКА ВЕРСИЯ НА СКАЛАТА ЗА КЛИНИЧНА УЧЕБНА СРЕДА (CLES-Bg)
ADAPTATION AND PILOT PSYCHOMETRIC TESTING OF THE BULGARIAN VERSION OF THE CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT SCALE (CLES- Bg)

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to culturally adapt and pilot-test the psychometric properties of the Bulgarian version of the Clinical Learning Environment Scale (CLES- Bg) among nursing students. A descriptive cross-sectional design was applied, involving 168 students from South-West Universuty “Neofit Rilski”. Data were collected on studets’ perceptions of team integration, mentorship, organization of clinical practice, satisfaction, motivation, and communication climate, along with measures of clinical reasoning. Descriptive statistics, reliability testing and correlation analyses were performed. The total CLES- Bg score demonstrated high internal consistency, while subscale showed acceptable to good reliability. Correlation results confirmed theoretically consistent and statistically significant associations among all domains of the clinical learning environment, as well as moderate positive correlations between the total CLES- Bg score and clinical reasoning. Overall, students perceived the clinical environment as supportive and well structured. Several items requiring semantic refinement were identified for the main validation phase. The findings indicate that CLES- Bg is a reliable and applicable instrument in the Bulgarian context. Further large-scale validation, including confirmatory factor analysis, is recommended
