Differences in Supervision on Peer Learning Wards: A Pilot Survey of the Supervisor's Perspective.

Introduction: Multiple students are placed on clinical wards simultaneously due to increasing student numbers. This has the potential to create stress for the supervisor and reduce quality of student learning. Peer learning as a pedagogical framework to supervise multiple students has been widely shown to have advantages for the students by developing teaching skills, team collaboration, and independence.

What about the supervisor? Clinical supervisors' role in student nurses' peer learning: A phenomenographic study.

Introduction: Peer learning is increasingly used for healthcare students in the clinical setting. However, as peer learning between students involves students taking a teaching role, it is unclear what the supervisor's role then becomes. It is vital to determine the role of the supervisor in student peer learning to ensure high quality learning and patient safety.

The learning environment on a student ward: an observational study.
