Introduction: Clinical
teaching is an important element of nursing education. This study aims to
compare teaching behaviors of clinical nursing instructors from perspective of
nursing students in public and private universities.

cross-sectional study. Participants were 160 nursing students from public and
private universities located in Seman, 80 students each. The nursing clinical
teaching effectiveness inventory (NCTEI) is

students’ perspectives to nursing instructors in the range of never (score 1)
to always (score 7). Finally the data analyzed by descriptive and inferential
statistics methods by SPSS version 18.

students’ perspective were higher than average limit (5.52±1.31). Also, that
mean of scores to clinical instructors’ behaviors was significantly higher in
the private university compare to the public university (P<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the result, nursing instructors in private universities
acquired higher score than public universities to prove their proficiency. More
