| Peer-assisted learning is a purposeful component of professional preparation programs in the fields of nursing. Close supervision and individual feedback were proven to be important in ensuring effective skills training. Peer tutor system in our skills lab of medical surgical nursing allows intense training sessions with small learning groups taught by one student tutor. This study aimed at evaluate the effect of clinical instructor versus peer assisted learning on clinical instructor burnout and students' knowledge and performance regarding neurological health assessment and evaluate the effect of peer assisted learning on clinical instructor burnout. Design: Quasi experimental study was conducted in Faculty of Nursing at Tanta University. Methods: Study subject comprises two groups; 170 second year nursing students group and 40 clinical instructors working in Medical surgical Nursing Department group during the academic year 2019/2020, each of both groups was divided randomly and equally into two equal groups. Three tools were used in this study Tool I: Knowledge assessment questionnaires: It was consisted of two parts: Part 1, Student's - socio demographic data and Part 2,Student's knowledge assessment sheet, Tool II, Neurological health assessment Student's performance observational checklist and Tool III, Maslach Burnout Inventory. The main results from the study reported that students who were thought by clinical instructors reported higher level of knowledge and higher total practice than those who were thought by their peer. The current study reported no statistical differences in the level of burnout among clinical instructors in both groups with a little pit higher burnout level among clinical instructor group. Conclusions: Based on the finding of the study, it can be concluded that: Peer assisted learning (PAL) has been shown to be as effective as a learning method on knowledge and skills of nursing students regarding neurological health assessment. Also, the current study reported no statistical differences in the level of burnout among clinical instructors in both groups with a little pit higher burnout level among clinical instructor group.
