Clinical placement data: generated from project titled: "Reducing the clinical placement burden on health services - creating a contemporary model of simulated clinical education using innovative teaching methods for multiple health care professionals": data

The core objective of the project is to offer alternative models of clinical education. A contemporary model was developed, based on reducing clinical placements, which are a burden to public hospitals. Approximately 190 Monash University undergraduate students from paramedics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and nursing were asked to complete a 7-point Likert Scale paper-based questionnaire that aimed to assess the clinical relevance and students’ general perceptions and attitudes of viewing clinical simulations via DVD. Thematic analysis was also undertaken using a focus group that consisted of participants from paramedics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and nursing. The data collection includes qualitative data from the focus groups, paper questions and paper questionnaires; quantitative data includes surveys, an excel spreadsheet, SPSS files; audio files of focus groups and paper transcriptions; demographics data was recorded in Excel and SPSS.
