Oneof the most common methods of clinical evaluation is evaluation by the teacher, but the challengesthat students would face in this evaluation method, have not been mentioned. Thus, this study aimedto explore the experiences and views of nursing students about the challenges of teacher‑basedclinical evaluation.METHODS: This study was a descriptive qualitative study with a qualitative content analysis approach.Data were gathered through semi‑structured focused group sessions with undergraduate nursingstudents who were passing their 8th semester at Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences. Datewere analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s proposed method. Data collection and analysiswere concurrent.RESULTS: According to the findings, “factitious evaluation” was the main theme of study thatconsisted of three categories: “Personal preferences,” “unfairness” and “shirking responsibility.”These categories are explained using quotes derived from the data.CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, teacher‑based clinical evaluation would leadto factitious evaluation. Thus, changing this approach of evaluation toward modern methods ofevaluation is suggested.
