TI  - Analyzing Evidence on Interventions to Strengthen the Clinical Support for 
      Midwifery Students in Clinical Placements: Protocol for a Systematic Scoping 
      Review.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The benefits of clinical support are evident in various mentorship, 
      preceptorship, or clinical supervision models. Poor collaboration between 
      lecturers and clinical staff, lack of confidence about student support, large 
      student intakes coupled with core demands create negative attitudes toward 
      student supervision, and this poses a huge challenge to midwifery students who 
      are expected to become competent in the process. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to 
      identify and analyze interventions, strategies, and/or mechanisms in order to 
      strengthen the clinical support for midwifery students in clinical practice areas 
      from a global perspective. METHODS: This review will follow the Arksey and 
      O'Malley framework (2005). The search strategy will include primary studies 
      searched for in electronic databases such as EBSCOhost (CINAHL, MEDLINE, and 
      Health Source: Nursing/Academic edition), PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar. 
      Keywords such as "midwifery students," "midwifery education," and "clinical 
      support" will be used to search for related articles. The search will include 
      articles from the cited by search, as well as citations from the reference list 
      of included articles. All title-screened articles will be exported to an EndNote 
      library, and duplicate studies will be removed. Two independent reviewers will 
      concurrently carry out the abstract and full-text article screening according to 
      the eligibility criteria. Extracted data will highlight the aims, geographical 
      setting, and level of training; intervention outcomes; and the most relevant and 
      most significant findings. This review will also include a mixed methods quality 
      appraisal check. A narrative summary of data extracted will be analyzed using 
      content analysis. RESULTS: Interventions to strengthen the clinical support for 
      midwifery students in practice will be extracted from this review, and data will 
      be analyzed and extracted to develop a comprehensive guide or framework for 
      clinical mentorship. As of August 2021, the electronic search, the data 
      extraction, and the analysis have been completed. The results paper is expected 
      to be published within the next 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: It is expected that this 
      review will contribute to midwifery education by identifying quality evidence on 
      clinical support interventions available to midwifery students globally, as well 
      as best practice methods, procedures, or interventions that can be used to 
      develop a midwifery mentorship training program. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT
