Abstract

 The study aimed to investigate the influence of perceived clinical supervision of student nurses on their burnout experience. Method: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 389 nursing students participated in the convenience sampling study. The study was conducted online from March 2021 to July 2021. The study used the clinical supervision Evaluation Questionnaire and Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey adopted in China. A regression analysis was used to determine the predictors and influence of clinical supervision on the burnout experience among student nurses. Results: Nursing students achieved a high mean on the clinical supervision purpose subscale. Student nurses had high cynicism, emotional exhaustion, and lower academic efficacy mean scores. Personal factors and process dimensions of clinical supervision influenced the burnout experience of nursing students. Discussion: The study shows that clinical supervision decreases burnout based on cross-country comparisons..
