This study developed and evaluated a quality assessment questionnaire for clinical nursing education using an exploratorysequential mixed-method approach. A systematic literature review and expert consultations informed the initial item generation, followed by psychometric validation involving nursing students and experts in Palembang, Indonesia. The questionnaire was assessed for Content Validity Index (CVI ≥0.83, scale-level CVI = 0.97), construct validity (five factors explained 85.1% variance, factor loadings 0.56–0.91), and reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.94). The final version consisted of 24 items across five dimensions: quality, constraints, benefits, practicality, and transparency. Unlike existing tools, this questionnaire integrated a comprehensive evaluation framework tailored for nursing education, ensuring a more structured and contextually relevant assessment. Despite its robustness, the study was limited by its focus on a single geographic and cultural setting. Future research should explore crosscultural validation and technological integration to enhance its applicability.
