Abstract
Midwifery clinical educators balance expertise in clinical practice and academia. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess midwifery clinical educator skill acquisition and psychometric properties of the Academic Clinical Nurse Educator Skill Acquisition Tool (ACNESAT) with midwifery clinical educators. A convenience sample of 143 educators completed the 40-item ACNESAT aligned with the National League for Nursing academic clinical nurse educator competencies. Participants reported extreme confidence overall with ACNESAT items ( M = 168.99, SD = 23.61), highest confidence with Ensures Safe Care is Delivered by Learners in the Clinical Setting ( M = 4.51, SD = 0.659), and lowest with Applies Theory to Clinical Practice During Clinical Nursing Education Experiences ( M = 4.01, SD = 0.934). Academic leaders are empowered to utilize the ACNESAT to personalize clinical educator orientation programs with targeted professional development activities.
