The importance of clinical supervision and teaching methods for midwifery students’ confidence in intrapartum care. A mixed method study

Clinical supervision was important. Students preferred lectures and practical demonstrations instead of self-studies. The structure and quality of both practical and theoretical training are crucial for building confidence. Newly graduated midwives qualitatively confirmed the results of the analysis. They also experienced a stressful environment, only focusing on to assist at the required 50 births.
