- Description
- This study investigated how registered midwives view their role with regard to the clinical supervision of midwifery students. The information obtained from this study assisted with recommending assistance to nurse educators to enhance the support of midwives in the clinical supervision of midwifery students.The proposed study followed a qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design and the research populations were midwives working in the maternity units. Non-probability purposive sampling was applied to secure a useful sample and correct data to be collected. Semi-structured one-on-one audio-captured interviews were the method of data collection, observational and personal field notes were used to enhance collected data. The researcher was the data collector. Twenty- two participants, inclusive of two participants for the pilot study were interviewed. Data were analyzed using Tesch’s method of analysis for qualitative data and an independent coder was sought to assist with the coding process. Two predominant themes emerged from the interviews with the participants. The researcher noted that although the midwives agreed that their clinical supervisory role was of importance and necessity almost all the midwives agreed that there were some identified issues that hindered the effectiveness of their role.
