“…International students often present with ongoing difficulties in written and spoken languages and have communication difficulties when interacting with patients and staff [13,14]. Morgan [15] discussed the reciprocal nature of understanding between patients and students. Engagement in conversation can be affected by accents, phrases used and pace of speech of both international students and patients.…”

“…Engagement in conversation can be affected by accents, phrases used and pace of speech of both international students and patients. Such issues are exacerbated when patients' accents are experienced as challenging [16], when using colloquial phrases or slang, and during telephone communication where students are unable to use and interpret non-verbal cues [15,17]. English as a Second Language (ESL) students are particularly challenged by the use of both professional medical languages alongside colloquial language [18].…”

“…Despite a growing interest in international practice placement education among students, universities and governments [36], there is a dearth of literature which specifically examines the allied healthcare students' experiences in practice placement [15]. Existing works were mostly qualitative studies within the Australian context and based upon the experiences of students in one institution [11].…”

Background: Numbers of international students enrolling on occupational therapy (OT) courses in Western institutions have increased. Previous examination of these students' experience of practice education is limited.Objective: To explore the opportunities and challenges experienced by international students in OT practice education.Methods: This study adopted a phenomenological approach, recruiting six individuals from three UK universities. Data from semi-structured interviews was given thematic analysis for result interpretation.Results: Participants identified learning OT in the workplace, working in a multidisciplinary team and personal and professional development as practice education opportunities. Language difficulties, differences in communication styles, multiple cultural differences and unfamiliarity with the National Health Service (NHS) were the main challenges. Good practice educators and supportive team members were the main contributors to positive placement experiences.Conclusions: Participants gained knowledge and skills from practice education that existing healthcare literature suggests they are expected to attain. Several challenges were highlighted regarding participation in practice education. The findings reveal a need to enhance practice educators' skills in supervising international students. Universities are recommended to invest time and resources in supporting the learning needs of these students.Significance: This the first study presenting international students views on OT pre-registration practice placements in the UK.

“…Multiple research studies focus on the experiences of visiting students from high resource regions that participated in clinical placements in lower resource countries (Morgan, 2017; Tuckett & Crompton, 2014; Wickford, 2014) but less focus on the experiences of the educators accompanying students. This paper will reflect on the experiences of educators accompanying students in an international clinical placement during the period of 2007 to 2019.…”

Background Multiple studies focus on the experiences of visiting students from high resource regions that participated in clinical placements in lower resource countries but less focus on the experiences of the educators accompanying students. Aim The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of educators during an international clinical placement of nursing students in a country in West Africa. Methods We implemented a focussed ethnographic design. We purposively sampled educators who accompanied students on an international clinical placement. Data collection from 2018 to 2019 consisted of in‐depth individual interviews. We utilized Roper and Shapira's (2000, 10.4135/9781483328294.) data analysis process, which includes coding keywords, identifying patterns and theorizing. Findings Three themes emerged from the data: rewards in accompanying students, challenges experienced and the need for mentoring and continuous support. Educators found it rewarding to see growth in students, how students developed as global citizens, how students developed critical thinking and problem‐solving skills and create lifelong friendships. Conclusion Educators who accompany nursing students to international clinical placement experience valuable learning and challenging issues. Educators must navigate, support and advance student learning when on an international placement. It is crucial to have adequate institutional support from both the home and host country.
