Abstract

Background: Dedicated clinical instruction (DCI) is a crucial component of nursing education; it allows nursing students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice. DIC has a significant impact on the quality of clinical learning experiences. In health care settings students experience challenges: poor supervision, inadequate feedback, and difficulties putting theory into practice, which ultimately diminish the nursing skills. Moreover, DCI is the successful strategy to improve students' clinical learning, learning of skills, and professional development. Furthermore, the aim of this study is to determine how DCI enhances the nursing skills of nursing students in the clinical settings.

Methodology: A quasi-experimental study design was conducted from July to December 2025, this study assessed the impact of a dedicated clinical instructor model on the clinical learning outcomes of nursing students.

Conclusion: This study concluded nursing students' clinical skills enhanced with a dedicated clinical instructor. In addition, proper supervision and timely feedback greatly increased their competence, confidence, and professional growth.
