Factors influencing readiness for clinical placement among paramedicine students at Monash University: A cross-sectional study
Clinical placements are a vital part of learning for paramedicine students because they allow students to apply classroom knowledge in real healthcare settings. To succeed, students need to feel ready, both academically and emotionally, before starting placement. However, little is known about what helps paramedicine students at Monash feel prepared.
This study aims to understand what influences and how prepared paramedicine students feel for clinical placement. We are looking at different factors such as your learning experience, supervision during placement, confidence, and use of digital tools.
You are eligible for this student if you are in the second or third year of your Bachelor of Paramedicine degree at Monash University. The survey is short, anonymous, and takes approximately 10–12 minutes to complete.

This study aims to investigate how undergraduate paramedicine students use social media platforms to support their clinical learning. We are interested in understanding which platforms students use, how frequently they engage with educational content, and how these platforms may influence knowledge development, clinical understanding, and professional behaviour.
The study also seeks to examine students’ perceptions of the benefits and challenges associated with using social media for clinical learning, including issues related to information reliability, professionalism, and educational value.
If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete an anonymous online survey that will take approximately 10 minutes. The survey includes questions about your social media use for learning, preferred platforms, types of educational content accessed, and your views on how these platforms support or influence your paramedicine education.
Participation in this study is voluntary, and your responses will remain anonymous.
To be eligible for this study, you must be an undergraduate paramedicine student (any year level) currently enrolled at Monash University.
