“…Factors affecting confidence and competence in newly qualified practitioners have also been explored (Stewart et al, 2000;Farrand et al, 2006;Donovan, 2008;Roberts and Johnson, 2009;Liaw et al, 2012). Skirton et al (2012a) undertook a UK study of the perceived competence of the newly qualified midwife in relation to the pre-registration programme they had undertaken .…”

Objective: This project explored the views of three cohorts of final year midwifery students, regarding their confidence in giving advice to women on contraception and sexual health in the postnatal period. The project also investigated knowledge of contraception using a factual quiz, based on clinical scenarios regarding contraception and sexual health in the post-partum period.Design: A mixed method design using qualitative data from focus groups, and mixed qualitative and quantitative data from a paper based questionnaire was used. Setting:The project was carried out in one higher educational institution in England. Findings: Findings demonstrate that expressed confidence varies according tocontraceptive method, with most confidence being reported when advising on the male condom. The findings of the factual quiz indicate that students applied theoretical knowledge poorly in a practically oriented context. These findings also indicated that most students limited advice to general advice. Key Conclusions:The paper concludes that midwifery students need more practically oriented education in contraception and sexual health, and that the role of mentors is very important in helping students feel confident when giving advice in this area.

“…Similar to medical education, the use of portfolios in nursing education is part of a broader move towards assessing practice competencies (Coffey, 2005;Farrand, McMullan, Jowett, & Humphreys, 2006;Jasper & Fulton, 2005;Joyce, 2005;Scholes et al, 2004). Portfolios are used in an attempt to assess both the learning that takes place in hospitals whilst at work, and learning in an academic setting (Farrand et al, 2006).…”

“…Portfolios are used in an attempt to assess both the learning that takes place in hospitals whilst at work, and learning in an academic setting (Farrand et al, 2006). Spence and El-Ansari (2004, p. 389), however, warn that "although portfolios have been considered central to nurse education at all levels…there is no unified understanding of the term in the literature or among practitioners".…”

“…Current literature shows that limited studies have been conducted regarding problem-based learning and its effects on nursing (Uys et al, 2004), and that there is a gap between knowledge and practice, and practice and competence (Klein & Fowles, 2009;Farrand et al, 2006). Chikotas (2008) supports this statement by adding that students are unable to apply the theory to clinical situations.…”

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review to determine the effects of problem-based learning on nurse competence. METHODS:A systematic review was used as the study design. This method included defining the research question, searching the relevant databases to access the relevant literature, analysis of the literature using critical appraisal and checklists, combining the results by doing a meta-synthesis for qualitative data, a narrative summary for quantitative data and reporting of the results. RESULTS:72591 articles were initially accessed through the databases and, through specific search criteria, they were narrowed down to eleven (11) articles. These eleven (11) articles went through critical appraisal by the researcher as a primary reviewer and a co-reviewer to ensure high quality and rigor of the systematic review. Of these eleven (11) articles, four (4) qualitative articles and one (1) quantitative article were further analysed and the data synthesised. CONCLUSION:The conclusion of the systematic review was that problem-based learning has positive effects on nurse competence.v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
