“…Furthermore, support from colleagues both in formal and informal settings were also identified as being important for the professional development of perceptors. In agreement with previous studies, continuity in preceptorship was identified as an important factor for establishing personal workplace relationships (Brunstad and Hjalmhult 2014;Gilmour et al 2013;Hauck et al 2017;Thunes and Sekse 2015), for understanding workplace culture (Gilmour et al 2013;Hauck et al 2017) and to not have to repeat already acquired learning goals (Hauck et al 2017). Moreover, a lack of continuity had a generally negative impact on student learning (Gilmour et al 2013).…”

“…Some of these findings correspond to other studies that described the students' perceptions on what increased their confidence. For example, students need to feel accepted and included in the ward (Brunstad and Hjalmhult 2014;Thunes and Sekse 2015) which was facilitated by more practical and hands-on learning situations (Hauck et al 2017;Hughes and Fraser 2011;Licqurish and Seibold 2008;Thunes and Sekse 2015). This corresponds to Banduras (1982) who stated that one learns through observation, imitation, and availability of good role models.…”

“…Another key factor is that students observe their preceptors and learn from their actions (rather than from their words), which makes it important for preceptors to act as good role models all the time in order to transmit the correct attitudes and values to the students (Bandura 1993). Some studies have shown that midwives are positive role models for the student midwives (Hauck et al 2017;Licqurish and Seibold 2008).…”

Objective: To study midwives' experience in their role as a preceptor and their perception on how to best support midwifery students in obstetrics units. Obstetric units are an important learning area for student midwives but knowledge on how to become a good midwife preceptor is limited.Design: This qualitative study explores midwife preceptors' experience of supervising midwifery students in three obstetric units in Sweden. Following ethical approval seventeen midwife preceptors were interviewed and data were analysed thematically.Findings: Thematic analysis of the interviews resulted in the identification of two themes and five subthemes: 1) self-efficacy in the preceptor role which involves a) being confident in the professional position and b) having the support of management and colleagues and 2) supporting the student to attain self-confidence and independence which entails a) helping the student to grow, b) facilitating reflection in learning situations, and c) "taking a step back". Key conclusion:Good preceptorship occurs when midwives achieve full self-efficacy, when they master the preceptor role, and when they have enhanced their abilities to help, the student reach confidence and independence.

“…Some midwives in the study feel left out in matters of personal development as they revealed that they are not awarded opportunities to attend peer symposia, such as annual midwifery symposia held in different provinces in the country. Hauck et al (2017:47) recommended the importance of professional development support and access to senior midwives within the clinical environment in order to ensure quality and sustainability of midwifery workforce. The utilisation of temporary employed midwives is a positive measure to relieve them of their heavy workloads.…”

Background: Midwifery is the backbone of women and child healthcare. The shortage of staff in maternity units is a crisis faced by many countries worldwide, including South Africa.Objectives: This study aims to explore the perceptions of midwives on the shortage and retention of staff at a public institution.Method: The study was conducted at one of the tertiary hospitals in Tshwane District, Gauteng Province. A total of 11 midwives were interviewed through face-to-face and focus group interviews. An explorative, descriptive generic qualitative design method was followed, and a non-probability, purposive sampling technique was used. Thematic coding analysis was followed for analysing data.Results: The impact of shortage of midwives was reported to be directly related to poor provision of quality care as a result of increased workload, leading to low morale and burnout. The compromised autonomy of midwives in the high obstetrics dependency units devalues the status of midwives.Conclusion: Midwives are passionate about their job, despite the hurdles related to their day-to-day work environment. They are demoralised by chronic shortage of staff and feel overworked. Staff involvement in decision-making processes is a motivational factor for midwives to stay in the profession. The midwives need to be in the centre of the decision-making processes related to their profession. The revision of the scope of practice and classification of midwifery profession away from general nursing complex by the South African Nursing Council (SANC) could place midwifery in its rightful status.

“…In the context of midwifery in Western Australia, Hauck, et al (2017) stated that midwife precepts play a role in guiding and supporting midwifery students during clinical placements and are responsible for ensuring quality patient care. Support by precepts during clinical experiences for students and recent graduates should facilitate the integration of theory into practice to build the knowledge, skills, and attributes essential for professional practice.…”

Background: The Preceptorship model has different rules in clinical practice learning for health students at a midwifery clinic. The purpose of this literature review is to find out the perspective of the implementation of preceptorship from various groups of student education levels on midwifery care as a whole. Method: This article takes databases from PubMed, Wiley, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect published between 2010-2019 with the keywords "preceptorship", "perspective" and "student" in combination. The inclusion criteria in this article are primary research, articles between the years 2000-2019, in English and Indonesian. This article uses the PRISMA flow diagram framework. Results: Preceptorship can help preceptors to improve the effectiveness of their teaching and learning environment so that they can perform clinical skills to improve the quality of education. Appears tools or instruments used to evaluate Preceptorship. However, this evaluation is known to have not been standardized. Conclusion: The application of preceptorship in midwifery clinical practice varies. This is due to the absence of a standard preceptorship instrument.
