Purpose The purpose of this study was to clarify the perceptions of full-time faculty members regarding the efforts and challenges of quality assurance of pre-practicum midwifery students (hereafter referred to as "students") as well as the common midwifery achievement test consisting of Computer-based testing (CTB) and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) at midwifery training schools by educational year. Subjects and Methods A web-based survey was conducted from October 2020 to January 2021 targeting 436 faculty members in total from 218 midwifery training schools nationwide that included an educational affairs chief who is responsible for training students and curriculum coordination and a full-time faculty member from each of the 218 training schools. We asked about their efforts to assure the quality of pre-practicum students and the issues still to be resolved, and their perceptions of the CTB and OSCE. We analyzed the data by dividing the respondents into three groups: one-year education course, two-year education course, and bachelor's program (elective course). Results We received 149 responses (valid response rate: 34.2%). Of the 143 respondents (96.0%) who answered that they were working to assure the quality of their students prior to practicum, 140 (94.0%) indicated that there were issues with their current efforts. The most frequently seen issue was "not enough time," with a significantly higher percentage of respondents in the 1-year education course and bachelor's program (elective course) compared to the 2-year education course (p=0.010). Regarding CTB and OSCE there was no difference depending on the program in the percentage (94.6%) who answered that they were "necessary/somewhat necessary" but the percentage of respondents who answered that an examination to assure the quality of students before practical training was "not very necessary/not necessary" was significantly higher for bachelor's program (elective course) compared to the one-year and two-year education courses (p=0.047). Conclusion Efforts to assure the quality of practicum students were already underway at many institutions, but the lack of time in the curriculum was a challenge. The common midwifery achievement test was recognized as a necessary system to assure the quality of students prior to practical training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
