Abstract
Background: The preparation of a care plan is one of the duties of the nurse or midwife caring for the patient. In clinical practice, patient care is planned and implemented using NANDA-I diagnoses in the care plan. The ability to write a care plan is taught theoretically and practically during undergraduate education.
Aim: This study aimed to explore midwifery students' views on care plans.
Methods: In this qualitative study, the content analysis method was used to extract meaningful themes from the data and to reveal the relationships between these themes. The study used criterion sampling, a purposive sampling technique. One-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 12 midwifery students in clinical practice who completed the care plan form. Study data were collected using a semi-structured interview form. The data obtained were analysed using MAXQDA.
Results: Four main themes emerged from the analysis of the student interviews: NANDA-I Diagnoses, Evaluation of the Forms, Problems Encountered in Filling the Forms and Suggestions/Expectations.
Conclusions: This study reveals the existence of various problems related to midwifery students' care plans. In order to solve the problems experienced in care plans, which are a part of clinical education, there is a need to integrate technology into health care services and to examine the opinions of students and educators in detail.
