Introduction: Patient education is expressed as supporting the patient’s independence capacity to meet his own health needs. The patient training process consists of the stages of identifying, recognizing, planning, implementing, assessing and recording the data collection/training requirements that are interacting with each other. Patient education is a dynamic process that continues with the patient/family/family, nurses and other members of the health team and the patient is dismissed. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the condition and factors that affect the patient education of clinical nurses working in the Erzurum province center. Method: The universe of research was formed by nurses working in a university located in the center of the province of Erzurum and two state hospitals associated with the Association of Public Hospitals. The sampling of the research was formed by nurses that met the research criteria and selected by the simple random sampling method from the possible sampling method. The study was completed with 378 nurses. From 15 April to 15 June 2016, the data were gathered by researchers using the "Clinical Nurses' Patient Education Assessment Survey" and "Sosiodemographic Characteristics" form after the necessary statements were made to nurses in the relevant hospitals. Results: The average age of the nurses involved in the study is 28.10±6.26, 87 percent of women, 60.1 percent of graduates, 37 percent of women. It was found that 8 in the surgical clinic and 56.3% worked for 1-5 years. 67.2% of nurses found that they did not believe the need for patient education and 55.3% did not provide patient education. Nurses were found to be trained in subjects such as mental drug use (30.2 per cent), hygiene (23.5 per cent), hospital orientation training (18.8 per cent), nutrition (16.9 per cent), hospital rules (18.8 per cent), dismissal (8.7 per cent) and post-preop (7.4 per cent). In the first place in the work order of the nurses, the drug treatment was ranked first, and the patient training was ranked seventh. The excess workload, the effective use of time and the low socio-cultural level of patients have been found to be among the problems that nurses face during patient training. Results: The majority of nurses did not believe in the need for patient education and more than half of nurses did not do patient education. It was also determined that educating nurses were usually trained on topics such as reasonable drug use, hygiene, hospital orientation, nutrition, hospital rules and deportation.
