“…Good supervision that focuses on building knowledge and skills can help students to link theoretical and practical knowledge which better prepares them to enter the real clinical setting independently. Consistency of quality supervision is of particular importance [39]. In this study students had different clinical supervisors at different sites in both the in-hospital and out of hospital setting.…”

“…However, they did not have a choice of a supervisor, a factor that has been reported to enhance learning experiences. Other interpersonal factors include mutual trust, cultural understanding, and feedback [39]. If students had negative experiences with clinical supervisors such as supervisors who were unsupportive, unhelpful, provided minimal guidance, were too busy to assist them and were unapproachable; they developed negative perceptions towards the clinical block and in turn towards chronic pain.…”

Background: Chronic pain poses a challenge to the health and well-being of people globally. A biopsychosocial approach is recommended for the management of chronic pain. Little is known about how the curriculum prepares students to apply this approach in practice. The aim of this study was to explore the facilitators and barriers for the use of the biopsychosocial approach, as experienced by physiotherapy students. Methods: The study utilised a case study approach located within an interpretive paradigm. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to select physiotherapy students in their clinical years. In-depth interviews were conducted over Microsoft Teams using a semi-structured interview guide. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and coded after which thematic analysis was conducted. Results: The study found that students were aware of the biopsychosocial approach and understood its importance in theory but had difficulty translating their theoretical understanding to practice. Facilitators to the use of the approach included positive attitudes towards patients with chronic pain, good interpersonal skills, emotional awareness, effective clinical supervision, guidance from supervisors and personal experience with pain. Barriers to the use of this approach included negative attitudes towards patients with chronic pain, clinical supervision and minimal interaction with members of the interdisciplinary team. Conclusion: The study highlights the gap between theoretical training and practice when using the biopsychosocial model when treating patients with chronic pain. The importance of supporting and guiding students when treating patients with chronic pain is emphasised. The use of a biopsychosocial approach and an interdisciplinary team must be encouraged in practice.

Introduction: Clinical supervision plays a significant role in nursing and medical practice. We aimed to explore the experiences of medicine and nursing students from the clinical educational supervision. Material and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 144 students of colleges of nursing (n = 88) and medicine (n = 56) of the University of Duhok, who were receiving clinical training for clinical-based subjects at colleges of nursing and medicine at University of Duhok in Kurdistan Region were included in a convenient way.Results: The study found that 57.64% were satisfied with the clinical supervision and mostly had positive perceptions. The total clinical supervision score, trust/rapport, supervisor advice, support, improve care/skills, improvement/ value of clinical supervision, funding time, personal issues, and reflection were significantly higher among medicine students. The medicine students were more likely to be satisfied with clinical training characteristics and had longer clinical training compared to the nursing students: 19-24 months (44.64%) vs. 1-6 months (70.45%; p < 0.0001), respectively. The entire clinical training (100%) among medicine students was weekly compared to weekly (86.36%), 2-weekly (3.41%), monthly (6.82%), and over 3 months (3.41%) among nursing students (p = 0.0397). Conclusions: The medicine students were more likely to be satisfied with clinical supervision compared to the nursing students. This satisfaction was associated with longer and weekly duration of training. The weaknesses of clinical supervision can guide supervisors to improve clinical education. We suggest that the entire fourth year be devoted to clinical training at the nursing college. In addition, one-to-one clinical training techniques be applied to both nursing and medicine colleges. We suggest the issues of clinical supervision be examined in more detail through some qualitative studies. The quantitative studies may not uncover the real problems of clinical supervision of medical students.

BACKGROUND: Preclinical students often fail to appreciate the clinical relevance of basic sciences during the first year of undergraduate medical training, leading them to lose interest in the subject, and preventing them from achieving the desired goals. In order to rectify this gap in the curriculum, Medical Council of India (MCI) in 2011 published a document announcing curricular strategies including Early Clinical Exposure (ECE) to effectively modify the Indian system of education. Lack of proper guidance prevented many institutions from implementing ECE. Since our institution had run a similar program of “Clinical Observership” as early as 2001, we were able to implement ECE in an efficient way. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Early clinical exposure was implemented as a structured program, with the participation of 10 clinical departments since 2013. Feedback from the students, soon after ECE and also from the batch of CRRIs, who had undergone this program while they were preclinical students amply support the effectiveness of ECE in its contents and methods of implementation. Manual content analysis was performed on open comments. After reading the responses, they were broken down to meaning units, and these were then condensed. The condensed meaning units were labeled with codes. The codes were grouped into categories. Themes were derived from the categories. RESULTS: Out of the 70 CRRIs, 52 responded to the questionnaire. All the CRRIs except one said that ECE was very helpful during their clinical postings and internship period. They suggested that the number of hours of posting should be increased and also reiterated the fact that a greater number of clinical departments could be included in the program. Though the beneficial effects were felt in all the domains of learning, the most remarkable impact was felt in the affective domain, wherein changes are not easy to come by. DISCUSSION: Recently, National Medical Council has come out with plans of including ECE in the syllabus with strict time schedule. It is felt that the faculty will find our experience of running the program for the past five years helpful in implementing this program, for the fullest benefit of the preclinical students.
