In specialist areas, such as stoma care, embedding practising Stomal Therapy Nurses (STNs) into undergraduate education offers unique opportunities to enhance clinical competence, professional identity and person-centred care. This project describes and evaluates the integration of STNs into a structured WIL programme for final-year nursing students at an Australian university, focusing on stoma care education. Specialist STNs co-designed and co-facilitated on-campus WIL activities, integrating simulation and consumer (ostomate) involvement within an advanced wound care unit. Quantitative pre-post measures and skill performance ratings were collected from students and STNs. Statistically significant improvements were observed in student self-reported confidence and competence following the intervention, and STN ratings of student competence closely aligned with student self-ratings. These outcomes demonstrate the value of authentic clinical expertise and consumer involvement in WIL, supporting both clinical skill development and workforce sustainability. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
