  BACKGROUND
  Undergraduate students have reported that owing to different cultures and values, value conflicts are experienced during clinical accompaniment, which affects clinical learning in community nursing negatively.
  
  
  METHODS
  A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research design was done in a specific context; guidelines were formulated as a result of the findings in phase 1. Once the guidelines were formulated the guidelines were validated and refined by presenting them to a panel of experts for validation. The accessible population was experts in the field of community health nursing and the participants that were conveniently selected were asked to validate the guidelines.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three main categories were identified, namely, respect during clinical accompaniment, value-sensitive communication and sensitivity to quality of clinical accompaniment. The validated and refined guidelines were described. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSE MANAGERS: Guidelines for value-sensitive clinical accompaniment of student nurses by professional nurses as experts in community nursing should be implemented by nurse managers as they are important in any relationship to set the climate for both personal and professional wellbeing.
