Introduction: Individual and professional behaviors of clinical instructors have an important role to form individual and professional personality of nursing students, and can affect their level of anxiety. This study aimed at assessing the relationship between clinical instructors' behaviors and anxiety level of nursing students in Islamic Azad University of Lahijan City, Iran.
Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 156 nursing students were selected from Islamic Azad University of Lahijan through the census sampling method. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory in a 2014-2015 academic year. Then, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and Chi-square test). P < 0.05 was set as a significant level.
Results: Results showed that most of the nursing students had mild anxiety (90 persons, 57.7%) and the behaviors of their clinical instructors were assessed strong (96 persons, 61.6%). There was a negative significant relationship between the behaviors of clinical instructors and the level of anxiety of the nursing students (r = -0.59, P < 0.0001). It means that students' anxiety decreased when educational behaviors of clinical instructors become stronger, and the students' anxiety increased when the instructors' educational behavior becomes weaker.
Conclusions: Nursing clinical instructors with their competent behavior and performance as a professional and moral pattern can have a deniable role in decreasing the anxiety of nursing students and revealing of deep spiritual placement of this holy job. By choosing clinical instructors from competent nurses and continuous presence of the faculty members in the hospitals and bilateral cooperation can create an appropriate communication bridge between theory and clinic.
