Journal Title: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim:: This study aims to determine the opinions of midwifery and nursing students on clinical practices and school-hospital collaboration.Materials and Method: The universe of this descriptive and cross-sectional study was made up of 3rd and 4th grade midwifery and nursing students from Health Sciences Faculty (N=277). No sampling process was employed; instead, a total of 267 students (nursing=149, midwifery=118) accepting to participate in the study were involved. The data were collected through a questionnaire form developed by the researchers and evaluated medium using number, percentages, and chi-square significance test (95 % confidence interval, p<0.05 significance level).Results: It was determined that 50.9 % of the students stated the team in the clinic did not welcome them, 44.6 % said they could not communicate with the team, and that 62.2 % reported they were affected by the arising negative atmosphere. Nursing students were found to state that they received (56.4 %) more positive responses in comparison to midwifery students (X2=7.213, p=0.007) (p<0.05). While the students in the study reported the school-hospital collaboration and clinical practices improved their hand-skills (89.5 %) and increased their passion for the profession (63.7 %), majority stated that the number of cases was unsatisfactory (76 %), and that the application areas did not meet the needs (85 %). Conclusion: In conclusion, the students were determined to think that theoretical education should be satisfactory at both sides, they should be supported in application areas, and that accessibility of the application area should be easy. In line with the findings of the study, there is a need for further research into the parameters that will strengthen school-hospital collaboration.
