Mentoring has played an important role in the development and support of healthcare students during the last 15 years. Constant monitoring performed by a mentor and their constructive feedback is a useful tool in professional practice. The greatest factor having a negative influence is lack of time. Mentors and midwifery students' satisfaction with practical training can be significantly affected by the clinical practice environment. This study aims to analyze the satisfaction of the mentors at women's clinics and midwifery students with the clinical practice.
The mixed methods study included midwifery mentors from the women's clinic and students who completed internships at the clinic in Estonia. The duration of the study was three years (2016-2019). Mentors were surveyed through focus group interviews. Students were surveyed through a semi-closed questionnaire. The study involved 15 midwives and 127 midwifery students.
The mentors are aware that their responsibilities include the instruction, training, and assessment of the trainees, and they believe that a safe environment has an important role in passing the training successfully. Additionally, the most challenging aspect of providing instruction from the view of the mentors is the resultant lack of time. Students are satisfied with the mentors, co-workers, wards, and overall practical training at the women's clinic.
The most challenging aspect of providing instruction from the view of the mentors is the resultant lack of time. Students' satisfaction with the said mentors is based on how well the students thought cooperation worked amongst mentors and co-workers. It is a problem for students from time to time that they are expected to have higher levels of skills than the knowledge they have acquired allows.
在过去15年里，指导在医护专业学生的培养和支持方面发挥了重要作用。导师持续的监督及其建设性反馈是专业实践中的一项有用工具。产生负面影响的最大因素是时间不足。临床实践环境会显著影响导师和助产专业学生对实践培训的满意度。本研究旨在分析妇女诊所的导师和助产专业学生对临床实践的满意度。
这项混合方法研究纳入了来自妇女诊所的助产导师以及在爱沙尼亚该诊所完成实习的学生。研究持续了三年（2016 - 2019年）。通过焦点小组访谈对导师进行调查。通过半封闭式问卷对学生进行调查。该研究涉及15名助产士和127名助产专业学生。
导师们意识到他们的职责包括对学员的指导、培训和评估，并且他们认为安全的环境在成功完成培训方面具有重要作用。此外，从导师的角度来看，提供指导最具挑战性的方面是由此导致的时间不足。学生们对妇女诊所的导师、同事、病房以及整体实践培训感到满意。
从导师的角度来看，提供指导最具挑战性的方面是由此导致的时间不足。学生对上述导师的满意度基于学生对导师与同事之间合作情况的看法。学生有时会面临一个问题，即期望他们具备的技能水平高于他们所获得的知识所允许的水平。
