Abstract:
AIM:To explore the perceptions of midwifery educators regarding effects of limited standardisation of midwifery clinical education and practice on clinical preparedness of midwifery students. BACKGROUND:Investigation of levels of clinical competency of students is a critical need in the current era. Such competency levels are especially important in midwifery practice in South Africa as there is a significant increase of maternal deaths and litigations in the country. Most of the deaths are in the primary healthcare level maternity units where the newly qualified midwives practise. These areas are mainly run by midwives only. The current article seeks to report the findings of the study that was conducted to investigate how midwifery educators prepare students adequately for clinical readiness. SETTINGS:The study was conducted amongst midwifery nurse educators on three campuses of the Nursing College in the Eastern Cape. DESIGN:A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was used for the study. DATA SOURCES AND METHODS:Seventeen purposively selected midwifery educators, with the researcher using set criteria, from a Nursing college in the Eastern Cape, were the participants in the study. Data was collected using focus-group interviews that were captured by means of an audio-voice recorder. Tesch's data-analysis method was used to develop themes and sub-themes. Trustworthiness of the study was ensured using the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability. RESULTS:Inconsistent clinical practice amongst midwifery educators in their clinical teaching and assessment were found to be the major factors resulting from limited standardisation. The inconsistent clinical practice and assessments of midwifery educators was found to lead to loss of the necessary skills required by the students which led them to perform poorly in their final clinical assessments. CONCLUSION:There are some barriers in the current clinical teaching and education strategy used in this college that prohibit the production of confident, independent, and safe practitioners as planned. Midwifery educators need to be assisted in reviewing the current teaching strategy. Furthermore management should be involved if not the initiators of that reviewing and should put in-place new measures to support the teaching of the clinical module.
