Full textAbstract Clinical teachers’ experiences of nursing and teaching Clinical nurse teachers’ experiences of nursing and teaching undergraduate nursing students on clinical placement are explored in this thesis because of concerns about the quality of nursing students’ learning outcomes. The aim was to identify variation in clinical teachers’ conceptions of nursing and their conceptions of, and approaches to teaching undergraduate nursing students. The study was significant because clinical teachers’ conceptions of nursing and approaches to clinical teaching have not been researched previously. Underpinning the study was a phenomenographic perspective on learning and teaching. This perspective views learning and teaching in terms of how they were experienced. Experience of nursing and clinical teaching, for example, can be understood in terms of related ‘what’ and ‘how’ aspects. The ‘what’ aspect concerns how nursing and clinical teaching were understood. The ‘how’ aspect is concerned the ways nursing and clinical teaching were approached. Experience of nursing and clinical teaching were described and analysed in terms of the separate ‘what’ and ‘how’ aspects and are understood in terms of the relationship between each of the aspects. Data from semi-structured interviews with twenty clinical teachers were analysed using phenomenographic research techniques (Marton & Booth, 1997) in order to identify variation in how nursing and clinical teaching were experienced. To extend the description, the research also sought to identify the empirical relationships between each of the aspects investigated. Key aspects of variation in clinical teacher experiences of nursing and clinical teaching and associated relationships have been identified. The results suggest that clinical teachers who adopted a student-centred approach to teaching conceived of nursing and clinical teaching in complex ways. The phenomenographic approach provides for an experiential and holistic account of clinical teaching: a perspective absent in nursing education research literature. The research findings extend knowledge that will assist with preparation and support of clinical teachers.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Differences were observed in clinical demonstration and assessment techniques of clinical supervisors involved with the supervision of undergraduate nursing students at an institution of higher education. These differing techniques displayed by the clinical supervisors may have implications for the standard of nursing care provided by the students and the throughput of these students. A qualitative approach with a descriptive design was applied to explore the perceptions and experiences of the undergraduate nursing students’ on clinical supervision. Nine (n=9) students were deliberately selected by means of purposive sampling from each year to participate in focus group interviews. Nine 1st year students, nine 2nd year students, nine 3rd year students and nine 4th year students respectively constituted the groups that were interviewed. Thus the total sample consisted of n=36 nursing students. Consent to conduct the study was obtained from the Health Research Ethical Committee at Stellenbosch University, as well the institution under study. Informed consent was obtained from all the participants. Data collection was completed by two trained fieldworkers who were not affiliated with the institution under study. The interviews were analysed through content analysis. Six themes emerged from the data. These included support, professionalism, realities of supervision, student preferences regarding supervisors, experiences that relate to abusive behaviour and the clinical supervision process. The findings indicated negative and positive experiences on clinical supervision. Recommendations were proposed to enhance clinical supervision and the learning experiences of student nurses. Key words: Clinical supervision, undergraduate nursing, clinical supervisor, clinical practice, differing techniques.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Verskille was waargeneem in kliniese demonstrasie- en assesseringstegnieke van kliniese toesighouers wat betrokke is met die supervisie van voorgraadse verpleegstudente by 'n institusie van hoër onderwys. Die verskille in tegnieke gedemonstreer deur die kliniese toesighouers mag implikasies hê vir die standaard van verpleegsorg gelewer deur die studente en die slaagsyfer van hierdie studente. 'n Kwalitatiewe benadering met 'n beskrywende ontwerp was toegepas om die persepsies en ervaringe van die voorgraadse verpleegstudente oor kliniese supervisie te verken. Nege (n = 9) studente vanuit elke jaargroep was bewustelik gekies by wyse van doelgerigte steekproefneming om deel te neem in fokusgroep onderhoude. Nege 1ste jaar studente, nege 2de jaar studente, nege 3de jaar studente en nege 4de jaar studente het onderskeidelik die groepe gevorm waarmee onderhoude gevoer was. Die totale steekproef het uit n=36 verpleegstudente bestaan. Toestemming om die studie te doen was vanaf die Etiese Komitee vir Gesondheidsnavorsing by Stellenbosch Universiteit, asook die instelling ter ondersoek verkry. Ingeligte toestemming is van al die deelnemers verkry. Data insameling was deur twee opgeleide veldwerkers gedoen wat nie geaffilieer is met die instelling ter ondersoek nie. Die onderhoude was deur inhoudsontleding geanaliseer. Ses temas het uit die data ontstaan. Dit sluit in ondersteuning, professionaliteit, realiteite van supervisie, student voorkeure ten opsigte van toesighouers, ervaringe wat verband hou met mishandelende gedrag en die kliniese supervisie-proses.

Full textNursing students’ clinical abilities are highly dependent on the quality of the clinical experience obtained, while placed in the clinical environment. The clinical environment has key role players, which include the clinical supervisor. The primary role of the clinical supervisor is to guide nursing students to become best practice nursing professionals. However, globally, literature alludes to the failure of educating institutions to deliver competent nursing professionals, to meet the needs of patients and deliver quality patient care. Anecdotal evidence at the participating university indicated the possibility that various factors such as high student supervisor ratio and increased workload for clinical supervisors may impact on the ability of the supervisors to function effectively in the clinical settings. At the participating university, this may have been due to various factors, such as large student numbers, as well as social and environmental challenges experienced by the clinical supervisors. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the lived experiences of clinical supervisors, who supervise nursing students at a higher education institution. The study employed a qualitative research approach, utilizing a descriptive phenomenological design. Purposive sampling was used to select eight (8) participants, who were all clinical supervisors of first and second-year nursing students at the HEI (Higher Education Institution) under study. Data was collected by means of in-depth interviews and analysed, using Tesch’s method of data analysis. The five (5) major themes identified, focused on the experiences of clinical supervisors regarding: time as a constraint to job productivity; the impact of the organisational culture on the fluidity of support; limited resources; interpersonal relationships as a dynamic communication process; and impact on the self. In this study, participants focused on their experience of clinical supervision as it related to time, the organisational culture, resources and the impact of the experience on the self. The researcher based on the findings concluded that clinical supervisors are generally satisfied with their jobs and they love the teaching role that they portray. They are unhappy with the circumstances, that they experiencing as challenging in which they must do their clinical supervisor job.

Full textEmpathetic communication enhances the nurse-patient relationship and improves patient outcomes and needs to be taught and evaluated during simulated clinical experiences. Experience in healthcare education has shown students’ empathy levels decrease over time. The purpose of this quasi-experimental pretest posttest, study was to compare nursing students’ empathy levels, self-confidence, and satisfaction with simulation between the use of the high-fidelity manikin simulator (HFMS) and a standardized patient (SP) used during their simulated clinical experience. Kolb’s experiential learning theory was used to guide the study through the four phases specific to simulation and learning. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 135 nursing students in the pre-simulation survey; 123 participants completed the post-simulation survey with 64 in the control group (HFMS) and 59 in the experimental group (SP). Data were analyzed using an independent t-test to determine if there were any mean differences between the HFMS and SP groups in terms of empathy, satisfaction, and self-confidence. Empathy was measured using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professions Student and the NLN’s Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scales. Results revealed there were no significant difference in students’ empathy levels, self-confidence, and satisfaction. Positive social change through prioritizing nursing students’ empathetic communication in patient care may be enhanced in the simulated clinical environment with various approaches. Recommendations for future research are to determine what interventions best develop nursing students’ empathy, satisfaction, and self-confidence in patient care.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Simulation refers to a teaching method that is used to teach students clinical skills. The use of mannequins is the most common type of simulation. Given the pivotal role that simulation plays in teaching students clinical skills, it is important to understand the experience and perceptions students have utilizing simulation laboratories. The aim of the study was to explore the experience and perceptions of primary health care students utilizing simulation laboratories. The researcher posed the following research question as a guide for this study: “What are the experiences and perceptions of primary health care students utilizing simulation laboratories?” A qualitative approach with a phenomenological research design was applied. A purposive sample of n=10 and a focus group of 7 participants was drawn from a total population of 232 primary health care students. An interview guide was designed based on the objectives of the study and validated by experts in Nursing, Education and the Ethics Committee at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University. Experts in the field of teaching and learning, nursing and research methodology were consulted to determine the feasibility and content of the study, to evaluate the research process and outcome. Two (2) trained fieldworkers were responsible for collecting the data. Data was collected by means of individual interviews and by interviewing a focus group. The transcription of the interviews was done by the researcher. The data that emerged from the data analysis was coded and categorised into themes and subthemes. The five themes that emerged were simulation as a teaching method; a mannequin offering effective learning; confidence in clinical practice; structure of the course; and a support system. The researcher compiled a written account of the interpretations that emerged from the data analysis and verified this with the fieldworkers. In addition, member checking was done on two (2) of the participants from the focus group as well as two (2) of the participants from the individual interviews, to validate the transcribed data. The Conceptual Theoretical Framework of Bloom supports the findings of this study. The findings suggest that the mannequins should be upgraded regularly and should be able to register a response. It is recommended that a mannequin should be designed which is computer programmed according to different conditions which will include the signs and symptoms of those diseases for example tuberculosis. The participants need to be placed in the clinical environment at a much earlier stage in their programme. Peer group teaching and assessment should be introduced in the programme. Further research is recommended since institutions and disciplinaries working with simulation were not included in the study.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Simulasie verwys na ’n onderrigmetode wat gebruik word om studente kliniese vaardighede aan te leer. Die gebruik van mannekyne is die mees algemene vorm van simulasie. Gegee die deurslaggewende rol wat simulasie speel in die onderrig van kliniese vaardighede aan studente, is dit belangrik om die ervaring en persepsies van studente wat gebruik maak van simulasie-laboratoriums, te wete te kom. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die ervaring en persepsies van primêre gesondheidssorgstudente wat van simulasie-laboratoriums gebruik maak, te ondersoek. Die navorser het die volgende navorsingsvraag as ’n riglyn vir hierdie studie gestel: “Wat is die ervaringe en persepsies van primêre gesondheidssorgstudente wat simulasielaboratoriums gebruik?” ’n Kwalitatiewe benadering met ’n fenomenologiese navorsingsontwerp is toegepas. ’n Doelbewuste steekproef van n=10 en ’n fokusgroep van 7 deelnemers is geneem vanuit ’n totale bevolking van 232 primêre gesondheidsorgstudente. ’n Onderhoudgids is ontwerp, gebaseer op die doelwitte van die studie en gevalideer deur kundiges in Verpleging, Opvoedkunde en die Etiese Komitee van die Fakulteit van Gesondheidswetenskappe aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Kundiges op die gebied van onderrig en leer, verpleging en navorsingsmetodologie is geraadpleeg om die haalbaarheid en inhoud van die studie te bepaal vir die evaluering van die navorsingsprosedure en uitkomste. Twee (2) opgeleide veldwerkers was verantwoordelik om die data te versamel. Die data was versamel deur middel van individuele onderhoude en ‘n onderhoud met ‘n fokus groep. Die onderhoude was getranskribeer deur die navorser. Die data wat uit die analise gekom het, is geënkodeer en gekategoriseer in temas en subtemas. Die vyf temas wat hieruit voortgespruit het, is simulasie as ’n onderrigmetode; ’n mannekyn wat effektiewe leer bied; vertroue in die kliniese praktyk; die struktuur van die kursus; en ’n ondersteuningssisteem. Die navorser het ’n geskrewe verslag saamgestel van die weergawe van die data-analise wat saamgestel en deur die veldwerker geverifieer is. Bykomend is die kontrole van lede van twee (2) van die deelnemers van die fokusgroep, asook twee (2) van die deelnemers vanuit die individuele onderhoude gedoen, om die getranskribeerde data se geldigheid te verklaar. Die Konseptuele Teoretiese Raamwerk van Bloom rugsteun die bevindinge van hierdie studie. Die bevindinge beveel aan dat die mannekyne gereeld opgegradeer behoort te word en dat hulle ’n respons moet kan registreer. Dit word aanbeveel dat ’n mannekyn ontwerp behoort te word wat rekenaar geprogrammeerd is volgens die verskillende toestande wat die tekens en simptome van siektes soos tuberkulose insluit. Die deelnemers behoort in ’n baie vroeë stadium van die program in die kliniese omgewing geplaas te word. Verdere navorsing word aanbeveel, aangesien inrigtings en dissiplines wat met simulasie gemoeid is, nie in hierdie studie ingesluit is nie.

Full textIn nursing education the clinical component comprises an important part of the students&rsquo
training. Clinical teaching and learning happens in simulated as well as real world settings. First&ndash
year students spend the first quarter of their first year developing clinical skills in the skills laboratory. In the second-term they are placed in real service settings. This study was aimed at exploring the experiences of first year nursing students of the University of the Western Cape (UWC) during their first clinical placement in the hospital. A qualitative phenomenological exploratory study design was used and a purposive sample of twelve nursing students was selected to participate in the study. The research question was &ldquo
Describe your experiences during your first placement in hospital?&rdquo
Written informed consent was given by every participant and ethical approval was obtained from the relevant UWC structures. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted, audio taped and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were coded and sub-categories, categories, and themes were extracted during the data analysis process. Trustworthiness of the data collection and data analysis processes were ensured. Many of the first year nursing students described theirexperience in hospital as being stressful. However, the first placement in hospital allowed them to work with real patients and provided them an opportunity to develop a variety of clinical skills. Even though the hospital environment was unfamiliar and the ward staff unwelcoming, the patients&rsquo
acknowledged and valued their contribution to patient care. Students tend to seek support from family members and lecturers. It is recommended that first year nursing students be prepared adequately for their first placement in hospital as well as to
provide practical and emotional support to students during their hospital placement

Full textIn South Africa, mental health nursing forms part of the basic (pre-registration) education of Professional Nurses, in order to equip them for employment as general nurses in the comprehensive health services of the country. Mental health nursing is an interpersonal process, in which counselling is aimed at supporting and facilitating healthy lifestyle functioning. At the higher education institution of interest, psychiatry nursing is incorporated at the final year level of nursing. The student nurses are prepared with the theory of psychiatric nursing, two weeks before their clinical placement in hospitals and clinics. At the end of the year, they are expected to pass both the theory and practical component. The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of final year student nurses, regarding their preparedness for psychiatric clinical placement. The objective of the study was to describe the experiences of the students, regarding their preparedness for psychiatric clinical placement. A descriptive design, with a qualitative approach, was used to explore and describe the phenomenon under investigation. The researcher used purposive sampling to select participants for the study from a population of final year student nurses of a higher education institution in the Western Cape. They met the sampling criteria because they knew a great deal about the phenomenon of interest, had completed the two-week orientation programme and worked in a clinical placement for at least three months. Their participation in the study was on a voluntary basis. The researcher used unstructured interviews to collect data from the participants. The data analysis was done following Coliazzi's seven steps. The findings indicated that the students were not prepared for their psychiatric placements, even though they attended a two-week orientation programme, prior to their placements. It was revealed that anxiety played a huge role in the unpreparedness of students. The participants, therefore, suggest that the orientation period be extended. The researcher, however, applauds the staff members in the clinical placements and urges them to maintain their positive attitude towards the students, as the participants acknowledged and appreciated their support.

Full textIn this study a qualitative phenomenological approach was used because the researcher identified it as the most appropriate method to do this study. The population under study was the student nurses studying towards their BCur nursing degree at the SoN at the UWC. A purposive sample consisting of 8 respondents were selected, aged between 19 and 32. The data were collected through unstructured, in-depth interviews lasting for about 1 hour. The responses from this type of data collection provided the researcher with ÌÌrichÌÌ details of the student nurses experiences of the needle-stick injury. The core principles of Phenomenology focus on the ÌÌlivedÌÌ experiences of an individual and the researcher chose the unstructured, in-depth interview to collect the data in this study because it was the most appropriate method of obtaining the data. Participation in the study was voluntary and informed consent was obtained from the respondents prior to the commencement of the study. An inductive theory was used as a framework to guide the data analysis process because through the process of analysing the data, categories and themes emerge. Findings from the study revealed the following: a needle-stick injury is considered to be a traumatic incident that students react in various ways to the traumatic incident, that several intervening factors precede the incident and lastly that the students need support following the incident.

Full textBackground: Globally, nurses and midwives are the most important healthcare providers. In most countries, nurses and midwives are often the first point of contact to healthcare, and in many rural areas, they are the only point of contact for patients. Skilled midwives are essential for the care of pregnant women and the safe delivery of their infants. Midwives play an important role in promoting the health and wellbeing of women, newborns and their families. In South Africa, slow progress in reducing maternal mortality can be partially attributed to a lack of appropriately trained health professionals to render some basic maternal care services. Aim & objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the self-perception of preparedness for midwifery practice of final-year nursing students at a university in the Western Cape, South Africa. The objectives of the study were to: identify midwifery skills final-year nursing students found challenging to perform independently, determine the level of confidence of final-year nursing students for managing patients in the maternity unit, determine the level of comfort/confidence of final-year nursing students in key practice skills performance, and collect baseline evidence of nursing students’ perceptions of self-preparedness to inform the higher education institution of gaps and needs identified by nursing students. Methodology: A quantitative research approach using a descriptive survey design was implemented to gather information. A self-administered questionnaire using the Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice Survey was used. Due to the limited size of the population, an all-inclusive sampling strategy was utilised, with a sample size of N=217. At the time of the survey, only 164 nursing students attended class. Only 112 questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 70.88%. All returned questionnaires had no missing data. SPSS Statistics version 25 was utilised for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, frequencies and tests for association were utilised.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background - Student nurses indicated that the clinical environment was not conducive to learning because they were part of the ward staff ratio and clinical supervision was inadequate. Upon observations by the researcher and feedback from student nurses’ a study was planned to identify the clinical experiences and supervision. The study itself was conducted within private health care settings in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Objectives - The objective of this study was to determine the experiences of student nurses of the clinical learning environment. To also identify the support and clinical supervision that the student nurses received from ward staff, clinical facilitators and lecturers. Methods and analysis - The CLES+T is a reliable and valid evaluation scale for the gathering of information on the clinical learning environment and supervision of student nurses. The CLES+T evaluation scale was completed by 234 student nurses within the selected sites. A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted by making use of the CLES+T evaluation scale. The CLES+T evaluation scale is subdivided into three main sections with additional sub-sections: (1) the Learning environment, (2) the Supervisory relationship and (3) the Role of the nurse teacher (lecturer). Results - The clinical learning environment was experienced as mostly positive by the student nurses; however the format and type of clinical accompaniment and supervision students received varied. Conclusion - This study gave valuable insights into the status of the clinical learning environment, the clinical accompaniment and supervision of student nurses which can be useful to the nursing school in order to enhance existing nursing programmes.

Full textDue to the large student-supervisor ratio, a school of nursing at an university in the Western Cape, developed specific preceptorship training for professional nurses working in e.g. psychiatric hospitals. This aimed at improving the clinical teaching expertise of professional nurses and ensuring positive experiences around placement of student nurses. It was unclear how undergraduate student nurses experienced their interactions with their preceptors while placed in psychiatric units. The study used a descriptive phenomenological design to describe the lived experiences of student nurses with preceptors during their clinical placement at a psychiatric hospital. Undergraduate student nurses who were allocated to a preceptor at a psychiatric hospital in the Western Cape served as the population of the study. Purposive sampling was applied and individual unstructured interviews (n=11) held. This study adopted Collaizi's method of data analysis. Results of this study indicated that the nurse preceptors played a supportive role towards students during placement in psychiatric units. This resulted in meeting the students' objectives and needs in clinical placement. A challenge around a comprehensive learning environment was interpreted as a great need during students' training. Ethical clearance was sought from the Ethics Committee of the University of the Western Cape and ethical principles followed in conducting the study. Trustworthiness was ensured during the research process.

Full textBackground: Nursing students integrate theory and practical training with the support of nurses during clinical practice. The art of caring is a process that needs constant reflection to see and care for patients problems and needs. Nursing students must follow a humanistic and a patient safety approach to support the caring process for patients. The goal for nursing students is to show theoretical and practical skills that are required for registered nurses to obtain a nursing degree. Aim: To describe nursing students' experience of caring during their clinical practice. Method: A literature study with descriptive synthesis based on 14 caring science articles. Result: Nursing students gained new experiences of caring for patients during the clinical practice. When nursing students cared for patients with a humanistic approach, they created a caring relationship. The caring relationship was lacking when the nursing students felt insecure of caring for the patients. The registered nurses’ guidance the nursing students to handle theoretical and practical knowledge. Some of the nursing students were disadvantaged in their learning process of the registered nurses and started to question themselves. Conclusion: Nursing students' experiences played out differently during the clinical practice depending where it took place. The guidance from the registered nurses played a crucial role in the experiential learning for the nursing students of caring for the patients. The integration of the theoretical and practical moments was intense, and the nursing students developed their role as future nurses.

Full textStudiens syfte var att få kunskap om hur sjuksköterskor under specialistutbildning inom akutsjukvård med inriktning mot anestesisjukvård upplever förväntningar, möjligheter och hinder för lärande under deras verksamhetsförlagda utbildning. I bakgrunden finns beskrivet specialistutbildningens uppläggning och mål. Några av anestesisjuksköterskans centrala arbetsuppgifter fokuseras: mötet med patienten inför anestesi och operation och den fria luftvägen. För studien användes en kvalitativ metod med intervjuer av tio studenter. Intervjuerna bearbetades och analyserades utifrån ett sociokulturellt perspektiv på lärande, vilken utgör studiens teoretiska ram. Analysen koncentrerades mot lärande som social praxis där fyra teman framkom vilka berörde praktikplatsen, yrkesidentiteten, samspelet med handledare, patient, arbetsteam och skola i lärandesituationer samt utvärderingen. Dessa teman anknöts till Nielsen och Kvales huvudaspekter på mästarlära och situerat lärande som beskriver lärande i en praxisgemenskap, lärande som utveckling av en yrkesidentitet, lärande utan formell undervisning och utvärdering genom praxis. Resultatet visade att samspelet med handledaren hade mycket stor betydelse för studenternas möjligheter till lärande och för utvecklingen av yrkesidentiteten. De kvaliteter som studenterna ansåg viktigast hos handledaren var motivation för handledaruppdraget, aktuella yrkeskunskaper, kommunikationsförmåga och ett pedagogiskt förhållningssätt. Praktikplatsen ansågs även ha stor betydelse för studenternas möjligheter till lärande där miljön, tillträde till lärandesituationer, gemenskapen och samspelet med teamet upplevdes ge goda förutsättningar. Utvärdering i form av feedback i samband med lärandesituationer och efterföljande reflektion av utförda handlingar upplevde studenterna vara nödvändigt för lärandets progress.

Full textEkberg, A & Lidfors, J. Clinical supervision group with men only. A qualitative study about the factors which influence experiences, expectations and professional identity during participation in a clinical supervision group with men only. Degree Project, 10 Credit Points. Nursing Programme, Malmö University: Health and Society: Department of Nursing, 2006.Clinical supervision has developed within nursing and is defined as a supportive forum where the opportunity is given to reflect upon experiences, thoughts and feelings in different caring situations. During nursing education clinical supervision is introduced in order to give the students an opportunity to develop an ethically correct behaviour in their profession and to combine theory and practice. At Health and Society, Malmö University, there are clinical supervision groups with only male participants, in this study denominated homogeneous groups. The aim of the study was to map out the male students’ experiences and expectations of participating in a homogeneous clinical supervision group and how they experienced that their participation affected their professional identity. The study is qualitative and semi structured interviews were carried out with six men who had participated in a homogeneous group. Content analysis was used to analyse the findings. The following categories emerged; the significance of structure, atmosphere, topic of discussion, personality and the composition of the group. The expectations among the participants have been high as well as low and the participation has had small effect on their professional identity. The received results indicate that plenty of factors have been conclusive for how the group has functioned. It emerged that, apart from gender, the participants’ personalities were of great importance for the functioning of the group. Key words: Clinical supervision, expectations, experiences, homogeneous group nursing students, professional identity.

Full textBackground: The midwife's profession is within the sexual, reproductive and perinatalhealth. The overall purpose of midwifery education is to develop independent and competent midwives. The clinical internship is an important part of the education. The labour ward is an important environment for midwifery students to acquire knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth. Motive: Clinical internship in the labour ward is an emotional and intense period for midwifery students. Midwifery student’s perceptions of what promotes development needs to be studied further, in order to optimise future clinical internships. Aim: The aim was to investigate midwifery students experiences of clinical internship at labour wards. Methods: A qualitative design with an inductive approach was used. Semi-structured interviews with seven midwifery students in Sweden participated. The interviews were analysed with qualitative content analysis. Result: A theme emerged, Clinical internship at the labour ward - an emotional roller coaster and three categories; To both give and receive support where a number of factors that can affect the meeting with the woman and the support person were described. Second category Holding together all the way described how the midwifery student’s health varies as well as difficulties in the student role. The third category Obstacles in the development process showed how the Covid-19-pandemic affected midwifery student’s clinical internship, optimisations and thoughts about the future professional role. Conclusion: The clinical internship at the labour ward was described as an emotional roller coaster. Previous experiences, the relationship with the supervisor and opportunities for reflection influenced the midwifery student's encounter with the woman and the support person. Elucidating these factors and including midwifery students in women-centered care can lead to increased self-confidence and competence among midwifery students, this couldlead to optimisations of the women-centered care.

Full textAim & Objective: The aim of this project is to review the background literature and discuss the PICOt question as follows: In adult nursing students, age 30+, who are experiencing anxiety in the clinical setting, does peer dyad mentoring support in the clinical setting enable these students to decrease their anxiety level and pass their clinical effectively over a 90 day period of time?
Background: Clinical experience is an integral part of nursing education and prepares students nurses to integrate knowing with doing. Anxiety can cause a disruption in the learning and professional functioning of the student, and subsequently of the graduate nurse. Further to this, many non-traditional mature nursing students are adults entering the college or university setting with life experience unrelated to their new nursing career. They are attempting to balance work, home and school responsibilities. This anxiety has a variety of causes and also appears to have a variety of solutions.
Design: This project is a mixed method analysis, which contains both quantitative and qualitative aspects. Participants in the project were a convenience sample of Nursing students age 30+, in the BSN program at California State University Sacramento, willing to partake in this intervention, to assist in reducing their anxiety level during clinical. The project engages the use of true peer dyads (students at the same level of education) for the purpose of collaborative learning in the clinical setting. All subjects were given pre- and post-tests consisting of the State form of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Adults™ (STAI-AD) is the definitive instrument for measuring anxiety in adults. The participants also completed a written qualitative interview guide at the end of the semester.
Results: The mean score of the STAI Anxiety Scale shows a definite decrease in anxiety after the peer dyad intervention in clinical. Of interest is the fact that the trait anxiety level also decreased in the final measurement. All sixteen mature students completed the peer dyad experience. The overall quantitative response to the peer dyad experience in clinical was a positive one according to the mature students involved.
Conclusions: Nursing students, are stressed and anxious in both the clinical setting (State anxiety) and appear to be more anxious in general (Trait anxiety). Formalized peer learning can decrease anxiety, help students learn effectively and is an important addition to the repertoire of learning activities that can enhance the quality of nursing education. Meeting the present and future challenges of educating nurses will require innovative models of clinical instruction, such as collaborative learning using student peer dyads.
