Description

Aim
A tertiary paediatric facility undertook a review of student supervision models and subsequently adopted a Clinical Partnership Program (CPP) whereby student supervision is managed from within the organisation rather than university supplied facilitators or supervisors. This project aimed to evaluate the CPP model of student supervision from a range of perspectives; this presentation focuses on the experience of the student.
Method
Following HREC approval and securing consent students were provided with a QR code that linked them to an online survey hosted on Qualtrics™. The survey was comprised of some simple demographic data and the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher (CLES+T) tool. The CLES+T tool is a 30 point validated instrument used to evaluate the learning environment for student nurses.
Results
To date 293 students have completed the survey. Within the domain of relationships students overwhelmingly agreed that the relationships they formed were positive and respectful and this promoted learning (90.1%). In respect to the learning environment students felt staff were approachable (93.42%) and most (77%) felt comfortable taking part in handover/huddle conversations. The respondents (91%) also stated that they felt that the Nurse Educator and/or Clinical Practice Facilitator were accessible to them.
Conclusions
To strengthen the future paediatric workforce we must consider the experience of students on placement. Good supervision whilst on clinical placement is closely associated with a positive learning environment and improved student experiences. Experienced paediatric staff that are embedded in the organisation are well positioned to support students.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
