The achievement of student skills in clinical practice cannot be separated from the role of clinical instructor.

Motivation is a driving force that affects a person's readiness to start doing a series of activities in a behavior. The unpreparedness and anxiety of nursing students during clinical practice is due to the fact that students have no previous experience or description of clinical practice. Almost all students have anxiety when they do the first practice in the hospital, the students become desperate and helpless. Another cause of anxiety is student concern about the possibility of endangering patients due to their lack of knowledge. The purpose of this research was to identify the corelation between provision of motivation by clinical instructor and student's readiness to experience clinical practice in hospital. The research method was analytical descriptive. The sampling technique was simple random sampling conducted to the second grade students who practice in hospital. The sample consisted of 83 respondents. The questionnaire used in this study included questionnaire of motivation provision by the clinical instructor and questionnaire of student's readiness to experience clinical practice in hospital by using likert scale. Data were analyzed by chi square test with significance value of p <0.05. The results showed that there was a correlation between the provision of motivation by clinical instructor and student's readiness to experience clinical practice in hospital (p = 0.008). Motivation by clinical instructor helps improve students' readiness to perform clinical practice. Clinical instructor should optimize the motivation for students. Giving good motivation to the students is not only limited to feedback for the competence that has been done but also creates a pleasant atmosphere of guidance and does not cause tension so that student anxiety level can be minimized.

The role of miR-21 in the pathogenesis of various liver diseases, together with the possibility of detecting microRNA in the circulation, makes miR-21 a potential biomarker for noninvasive detection. In this review, we summarize the potential utility of extracellular miR-21 in the clinical management of hepatic disease patients and compared it with the current clinical practice. MiR-21 shows screening and prognostic value for liver cancer. In liver cirrhosis, miR-21 may serve as a biomarker for the differentiating diagnosis and prognosis. MiR-21 is also a potential biomarker for the severity of hepatitis. We elucidate the disease condition under which miR-21 testing can reach the expected performance. Though miR-21 is a key regulator of liver diseases, microRNAs coordinate with each other in the complex regulatory network. As a result, the performance of miR-21 is better when combined with other microRNAs or classical biomarkers under certain clinical circumstances.
