However, field mentors' and classroom teachers' competence ... in guiding culturally diverse students varies widely in European countries, and the majority does not have enough training in guiding foreign students. Objectives: This study aimed to examine which factors enhance the efficacy of international practical placement experiences in health and social care study programs. Design: A qualitative descriptive case study design was used. Settings: The study was conducted at six higher education institutions-two in Finland and one in Croatia, Estonia, the Netherlands and Slovenia. Participants: A convenience sample of 14 mentors, 15 teachers and 14 students with international experiences from six higher education institutions which are part of the Bologna Process was recruited. Methods: The data were collected from six focus groups using a semi-structured questionnaire based on a literature review. Each higher education institution conducted one group interview that was tape-recorded, transcribed and analysed for themes. Results: Participants made several recommendations for enhancing the practical placement experience of students, teachers, and mentors. Most recommendations dealt with practical supervision of students. Three major themes noted were: "Attitudes towards internationalization of practical placements", "Factors impacting the international placement experience", and "Pedagogical methods used and structural support available for internationalization." Conclusions: The study highlights the need for strengthening the multicultural knowledge and skills of mentors and teachers. The findings provide practical guidelines for improving the international placement experieBackground: Internationalization of practical training in health and social care study programs is an important aspect of higher education.
