One example is the practice education facilitator role, which promotes and supports the clinical learning environment by offering guidance to clinical supervisors and nursing students. Prior research indicates that such roles can enhance the clinical learning environment for nursing students, but recent research, particularly from the Norwegian context, is lacking.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The study explored clinical supervisors\u2019 experiences and views on how, under what circumstances, and why the role of practice education facilitators influences the clinical learning environment.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A qualitative exploratory approach was chosen. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus groups and analysed using thematic analysis. In total, 12 clinical supervisors from departments with an affiliated practice education facilitator were interviewed during the period from April to June 2021, from two larger acute care hospitals in Norway.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Thematic analysis resulted in three themes related to the participants\u2019 experiences and views on how the practice education facilitator role influences the clinical learning environment: <jats:italic>Having someone to turn to<\/jats:italic>,<jats:italic> Benefitting from being an \u2018insider<\/jats:italic>\u2019, <jats:italic>and Champions of practice learning.<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The results of this study show how practice education facilitators can enhance the clinical learning environment by offering support and guidance to clinical supervisors.
