| Riassunto: | Students across the healthcare field engage in clinical placement, a type of work-integrated learning, as a compulsory component of their education. In psychology, students are required to complete a minimum of 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice as a component of their postgraduate professional training (Australian Psychology Accreditation Council, 2018). Unfortunately, concerns have been raised regarding clinical placements. Students, universities and industry partners have reported declining access to placements due to increasing student numbers (Department of Health, 2011); limited availability of appropriately qualified placement supervisors to support and educate students (Rudd, Dobozy, & Smith, 2010); and more urgently, potential risks associated with student exposure to unpredictable placement environments (McManamny, Boyd, & Sheen, 2013). The latter concern was the focus of this project. Risk Aware is an Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT)-funded online education program that enhances psychology students’ ability to identify and manage the risks associated with clinical placement. Risk Aware includes seven ‘Articulate Storyline’ modules. Articulate Storyline is an e-learning authoring software that allows users to create interactive online courses. With regards to content, the seven modules address self-management, interpersonal risks, infection control, aggression and physical violence, environmental risks, psychological and emotional risks,and education-specific risks. The content of these modules was developed following an extensive literature review, consultation with key stakeholders, as well as surveys and interviews with students and placement supervisors. These scoping and content development activities constituted phases I and II of this five-phase project. [Publisher summary, ed] |
