Student Clinical Placement Satisfaction Scale (SCPS)

The SCPS is a self-report questionnaire measuring students' overall satisfaction with their clinical placement experience, including satisfaction with the learning environment, educator support, clinical opportunities, and facility resources. Originally developed by Papastavrou and colleagues in Cyprus (2007–2010), the SCPS evaluates multiple aspects of placement quality that contribute to student wellbeing and learning outcomes. The scale is used to monitor placement satisfaction across programs, compare satisfaction across clinical sites, and identify areas for improvement in clinical education delivery.
