Evaluation of Preceptorship Implementation Process and Application of the Philosophy of Midwifery in the Cycle III (Midwifery Care for Physiological Delivery) at the Midwifery Independent Clinic (PMB) at the Clerkship of the Midwifery Professional Education

Abstract

One of the ways to develop the quality of clinical learning is by applying suitable preceptorship methods. So far, the implementation of clinical learning activities still needs special attention. Clinical learning methods have not been implemented optimally. Some of the problems that still occur in the clinical learning process include the immense workload of the preceptors where the work of the preceptors overlaps with the functional tasks at work, the lack of opportunities given by students to take action, the lack of time to discuss between students and the receptors considering a large number of clients served. This results in reduced adequate time and attention to guide students. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implementation process of the third cycle of Preceptorship (midwifery care for physiological delivery) at PMB at the clerkship of the midwife professional education clinic. With a crosssectional approach, this analytical study was conducted in 21 Independent Midwives Practices from April to August 2020. The sample of the study was all Midwifery Professional Education students who had completed the clinical clerkship process in Cycle III. Data collection by interview. Univariate data analysis. The results showed that the percentage of the preceptorship implementation process was not good (52.5%), and the percentage of the midwifery philosophy application was in a suitable category (50.8%). It can be concluded that implementing the preceptorship process, respectively, needs evaluation, and applying the philosophy of midwifery is quite good and needs to be improved.
