In Iran, there are also a number of surveys about midwifery students’ perspective on the current status of clinical education14,15 clinical education problems,16 stressors,17 students’ satisfaction with clinical education,18 perceived feedback19 as well as support and supervision20 in the clinical environment. All of these studies were conducted using quantitative approaches, so they did not provide a rich description of the learning process of midwifery students. To our knowledge, only one phenomenological study was conducted in Iran focusing on the experiences of midwifery graduates about clinical learning. In this study, the researchers concluded that instructor performance, pre-clinical training, and students’ satisfaction are the key factors associated with clinical skills learning. Lack of peripheral facilities, along with lack of coordination of educational planning, as well as behaviors of health care personnel are inhibiting factors for learning clinical skills.21
