Our focus was on Norwegian master\u2019s education programmes in two different health professions, midwifery and public health nursing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The study also aimed at providing a better understanding of barriers and facilitators of realising the master\u2019s level in internships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour as a theoretical and methodological framework, we conducted individual in depth interviews with representatives of all involved parties (supervisors, students, university teachers, and clinic managers). After content analysing the interview data, we held focus group meetings aiming to confirm the findings from the first part of the study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The findings reveal a controversial debate over the necessity of a master\u2019s level education and the challenges participants reported from their attempts to implement the master\u2019s level into student internships. The main result is the lack of consensus on the role of internships within a master\u2019s programme and on how students, practise supervisors, and educational institutions should collaborate on this issue. Various assumptions about the roles, accountability, and professional functions of a master\u2019s student during an internship have been distilled into five distinct models. Instead of comparing and ranking these models, their mere coexistence is discussed as an obstacle to implementing advanced nursing practise. Recommendations are provided to help resolve this confusion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-024-06461-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]],"date-time":"2024-12-19T05:59:12Z","timestamp":1734587952000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["How the master\u2019s level is implemented in internships within master\u2019s programmes \u2014 exploring the views of students, clinicians, and educators in midwifery and public health nursing"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"J\u00fcrgen","family":"Kasper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Turid Kristin","family":"Bigum Sundar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisbeth","family":"Valla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne Marie","family":"Lilleengen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne Grete","family":"Rydtun Haug","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kjersti","family":"Engen Marsdal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iren","family":"Borgen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Telle Hjellset","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"6461_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"935","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2008.05.008","volume":"28","author":"R Davies","year":"2008","unstructured":"Davies R.
