Background: Underpinning all nursing education is the development of safe practitioners who provide quality care. Learning in practice settings is important, but student experiences vary.
Purpose: This study aimed to systematically develop a robust multilingual, multiprofessional data collection tool, which prompts students to describe and reflect on patient safety experiences.
Background: Patient safety is a global concern. Learning to provide safe, high-quality care is core to nursing education.
Problem: Students are exposed to diverse clinical practices, and experiences may vary between placements and across countries.
Objectives: To describe needs and experiences of mothers with children under one year old, to identify the factors that hinder the transition to motherhood, and to design the content of a health promotion program to develop motherhood support group sessions.
Design: A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach.
Location: Eight Primary Care Centres in the province of Barcelona, between July 2011 and July 2012.
