I just felt like nobody was listening: nursing students' experiences and perceptions of academic support received whilst on clinical placement.

Moloney, Ciara; Afseth, Janyne

Abstract

This study intends to explore undergraduate nursing students’ experiences and perceptions of the academic support provided to them from university lecturers whilst on clinical placement. Clinical placements comprise 50% of undergraduate nursing programmes in the UK. The provision of effective support is linked to improved retention rates as it mitigates against challenges students experience on practice. However, there is a need to evaluate how students receive support from universities due to the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s updated Standards for Education and Training published in 2018.
