Data collection Learning Environment and mental Well-being Time point 1 (year 2024)

The HELES_D items are averaged to provide a total LE score. For each of the subscales and the total score, a higher score indicates more positive perception of the LE. Clinical placement experience was rated dichotomously 1= yes and 2 = no. The WEMWBS is a 14-item measure of mental well-being focusing entirely on positive aspects and covering both feelings and functioning aspects of mental health.

Study participants are asked to describe their experiences over a two-week reference period using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = “none of the time” to 5 = “all of the time”. The total score of the WEMWBS is calculated as the sum of all items. The range of the WEMWBS is from 14 to 70 points with a higher score indicating a higher level of mental well-being.
