Background Competence is defined as the ability to perform a task with desirable outcomes. Globally, an estimated 530,000 women and 2 million newborns die each year, because of no access to competent health professionals. But half of those deaths can be prevented with competent health professionals. However, the existing literature shows that most new graduates have a lack of competence in the clinical environment, none of them have assessed whether student or preceptor factors have an association with clinical competence or not. So, this study is crucial to fill data scarcity. Objective To determine the clinical practice competence and associated factors among midwifery and nursing students at Dire Dawa. Methods Institutional cross-sectional study was conducted on nursing and midwifery students from February 10/2020 to February 30/2020. Self-administered questionnaires were given to 318 students through a simple random lottery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was done for variables with a p-value <0.2 in binary logistic regression. The odds ratio was used to measure the degree of association. Results Only 19.2% are clinically competent. Students who were oriented about assessment methods were 4 times more likely competent [AOR = 4.096 p-value 0.035]. Students who have staff encouragement and have preceptors were 5 times [AOR = 4.900 p-value 0.12] and 11 times [AOR = 11.052 p-value 0.00] more likely competent, respectively. Confident students were 4 times more likely competent [AOR = 4.460, p-value 0.005]. Conclusion The prevalence of clinical competence is very minimal. This is due to assessment methods orientation, staff encouragement, clinical preceptor support and students’ confidence. This finding contributes to the federal ministry of health should work closely with teaching institutions, health facilities, and other stakeholders to overcome those gaps.

“…11 The dynamic nature of the Ethiopian healthcare system requires competent nursing graduates to manage the changing environment. 12 In Ethiopia, the government is the main healthcare service provider. Nursing students need 4 years to complete their education programme that includes Ethics and theoretical aspects of nursing, fundamentals of nursing, first aid and accident prevention, operation room technic for nursing, community health nursing, medical-surgical nursing, reproductive health, obstetrics and gynaecology nursing and paediatrics nursing.…”

ObjectiveTo assess clinical practice competencies and associated factors among graduating nursing students attending public universities found in the Amhara Region, EthiopiaDesignInstitution-based cross-sectional study designSettingThe study was conducted in six universities found in the Amhara Region from February to April 2018.Participants307 graduating nursing students participated. Of these, 173 were male and 134 were females from different ethnic groups; Amhara 145, Oromo 84, Tigris 44 and Gurage 17. Graduating nursing students attending regular degree programmes were included.Outcome measurementsClinical instructor (good vs not good), clinical environment (conducive vs not conducive), assessment method (measurable vs not measurable), clinical staff-student interaction (good vs not good), clinical practice competency (competent vs incompetent).ResultThe study revealed that 33.6% (95% CI 26.3% to 39.41%) of students were clinically competent. Orientation about the objective of clinical practice (adjusted OR, AOR 2.387; 95% CI 1.011 to 5.635), enough time for mentoring during clinical practice (AOR 2.247; 95% CI 1.100 to 4.593). Students followed by instructors during conducting a procedure (AOR 2.655; 95% CI 1.294 to 5.449), assessment checklist during clinical practice (AOR 2.663; 95% CI 1.324 to 5.358), students who were allowed by clinical staffs to perform tasks (AOR 5.858; 95% CI 2.657 to 12.916), clinical instructor factors (AOR 3.051; 95% CI 1.717 to 5.421) and student–staff interaction factors (AOR 2.348; 95% CI (1.337 to 4.124) were statistically significant variables with the level of competency.ConclusionAround one-third of the students were clinically competent. Clinical instructor and staff–student interaction were significantly associated with clinical practice competencies among graduating nursing students. Therefore, designing an appropriate clinical practice protocol that includes improving the supervision of a clinical instructor is important to enhance the clinical practice competency of students.

“…Globally, students’ clinical competence were a great issue within the health science field, and there’s a shortage of competent and experienced health professionals 7 , 8 . As a result, healthcare administrators face challenges to induce competent and experienced professionals 9 , 10 . There is an increased prevalence of chronic diseases and disabilities, and the uncertain nature of the healthcare environment requires competent, skilled, and experienced health professionals which is in shortage over the world 11 – 13 .…”

Background: Competence describes actions that will be demonstrated or observed and assessed while competency refers to the skill itself. Following appropriate theoretical and practical training, clinical experience is required to achieve the highest level of clinical competence. It is estimated that many women and newborns die each year due to a lack of qualified health professional around the world. As a result, the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors influencing clinical competency in the study area. Methods: An Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted from August 12 to September 12, 2022, among 403 undergraduate health sciences students of Bahir Dar University. Participants were approached through simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire through a face-to-face interview, and entered into Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 22. The prevalence was reported using proportion with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and summary measures. Predictors were assessed using a multivariable logistic regression analysis model and reported using an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95%CI. Statistical significance was declared at P-value <0.05. Results: Overall, the prevalence of clinical practice competency was 36.5% [95% CI; 33.5, 39.1]. Students who were provided a logbook (AOR=5.40, 95% CI 2.91, 10.02), adequate clinical cases in the clinical practice placement (AOR=2.72, 95% CI 1.60, 4.60), preceptor show different procedures (AOR=2.50, 95% CI 1.33, 4.71), student’s confidence during conducting procedure (AOR=4.16, 95% CI 1.67, 10.35) and the suitability of the way of teaching to the learning styles of students during skills demonstration (AOR=2.10, 95% CI 1.00, 4.40) were factors statistically associated with clinical practice competence. Conclusions: According to this study, more than three out of every five participants were found to be clinically incompetent. Providing logbooks, adequate clinical cases, preceptors showing different procedures, students’ confidence, and suitability of the way of teaching to the learning styles of students were significantly associated with clinical practice competence. Implementing logbooks, selecting clinical sites, enhancing the confidence of students, preferred teaching/learning styles, and clinical preceptor support were important to improve the clinical competence of students.
