Nursing students' evaluation of Primary Health Care clinical placements - A cross-sectional study
Primary Health Care placements were rated favourably, often higher than tertiary hospital settings. Variations within Primary Health Care settings, especially in general practice, highlight opportunities to improve quality and education. Findings identified specific areas of satisfaction and placement quality concerns, while highlighting further research recommendations to encourage early career nurses into the Primary Health Care workforce.
