In an effort to strengthen midwifery students' learning process, written reflections during the students' clinical practice at birth units have been applied. The aim of this study was to examine how students of midwifery experienced the writing of daily reflections on their practice at birthing units. An interview study was carried out using an inductive method with descriptive design. During 2013 (n = 12) and 2014 (n = 7), respondents were recruited from two cohorts of midwifery students (n = 19) at a university in southern Sweden. Narrative interviews were carried out. The interviews were analysed with thematic content analysis. One theme including four categories emerged from the analysis. The theme was "An educational strategy for the present and the future". The four categories were "Towards personal and professional development", "Reflection requires effort", "Supervisors' commitment" and "Clarification of the rationale". Daily written reflections are useful for students' personal and professional development during clinical practice/placement. In order for the reflections to be used optimally, students must be given clear instructions on the purpose of their use and be given enough time to write them. Furthermore, supervisors must provide constructive feedback on the students' written reflections.
为了加强助产士学生的学习过程，已经在学生在分娩单位的临床实习期间应用了书面反思。本研究旨在探讨助产士学生如何体验在分娩单位实践中撰写日常反思。采用描述性设计的归纳方法进行了访谈研究。在 2013 年（n=12）和 2014 年（n=7）期间，从瑞典南部一所大学的两个助产士学生队列（n=19）中招募了受访者。进行了叙事访谈。使用主题内容分析对访谈进行了分析。分析产生了一个主题，包括四个类别。主题是“当前和未来的教育策略”。四个类别是“个人和专业发展”、“反思需要努力”、“主管的承诺”和“明确基本原理”。日常书面反思对学生在临床实习/实习期间的个人和专业发展很有用。为了使反思得到最佳利用，必须向学生明确说明其使用目的，并为他们留出足够的时间来撰写反思。此外，主管必须对学生的书面反思提供建设性的反馈。
