“…Midwifery care is holistic and values women's decision-making abilities 16 . The woman-midwife relationship is unique, and decisions related to the provision of care are based on a woman's preferences and values in combination with best available evidence 17 . Given the defining characteristics of midwifery practice, measures of clinical learning quality need to reflect the philosophy of midwifery care.…”

“…Previous studies evaluating the clinical learning experiences of midwifery students have used qualitative and mixed methods research. Topics have included comparisons of clinical supervision methods 17 , clinical placement types 18,19 , and mentorship models 20 . The use of simulation in clinical education 21 and barriers and motivators to learning 22 also feature.…”

“…McKellar et al 17 recently adapted the Clinical Placement Experience Questionnaire 23 which contains closed, open and semi-structured items, and was originally validated but not published. As part of their mixed methods evaluation of three models of clinical supervision, McKellar et al 17 surveyed midwifery students (n = 174, 58.4% response rate) about perceived quality and satisfaction with their clinical experiences (16 items) and model of clinical supervision (17 items). Reliability and factor analysis of the survey form were not reported.…”

BackgroundLittle emphasis has been given to the standardised measurement of midwifery students' perceptions of their clinical learning experiences. AimTo develop a tool that evaluates students' perceptions of their clinical learning experiences according to environment and impact of preceptors on professional development. MethodsA cross-sectional design was used. Tool development had three phases: item generation; expert review to assess clarity, apparent internal consistency and content validity; and psychometric testing.All Bachelor of Midwifery students at one university in Australia were invited to complete the online survey. Psychometric testing included dimensionality, internal consistency and test-retest reliability. ResultsA 74% (n = 279) response rate was achieved. Factor analysis revealed the Clinical Learning Environment Scale and Impact of the Preceptor Scale accounting for 53.6% and 71.5% of variance respectively. Both scales were reliable (Cronbach's alpha = .92 and .94) and valid. Overall, students positively rated the clinical learning environment and preceptors' abilities to foster their sense of identity as a midwife. Students were less satisfied with preceptors' understanding of the academic program. Discussion 2The new tool consists of two scales that reliably measure midwifery students' perceptions of how the clinical learning environment develops their skills and reflects a midwifery philosophy.Preceptors had a positive influence on students' skills and professional development. ConclusionsThe Midwifery Student Evaluation of Practice tool is the first valid and reliable measure of students' perceptions of their clinical learning experiences. Students' feedback provides valuable information to educators and preceptors on how best to optimise clinical learning.

“…Previous research identified a variety of elements that influence student experience, including preparation for placement, the supervision or preceptor model, and clinical setting services (Hanson et al, 2020; McKellar, 2017; Papastavrou et al, 2016). A variety of measures have been developed to assess the quality of the student experience (Laugaland et al, 2020; Mansutti et al, 2017).…”

AimTo evaluate the quality of nursing clinical placement among nursing students.DesignThis is a descriptive cross‐sectional study.MethodsTwo hundred eighty two nursing student completed self‐administered, online questionnaires. The questionnaire assessed participants' socio‐demographic data, and the quality of their clinical placement.ResultsThe students had a high mean score for the overall satisfaction of their clinical training placement with high mean score for the item of “patient safety was fundamental to the work of the units” and the item of “I anticipate being able to apply my learning from this placement,” while the lowest mean score was related to “This placement was a good learning environment” and “Staff were willing to work with students.” Patient or Public Contribution: Quality of clinical placement is critical for improving the everyday quality of care for patients who are in desperate need of caregivers with professional knowledge and skills.
