Data were collected via focused group discussions attended by 8-10 individuals per session. Data analysis was performed using content analysis.
Results: Challenges in internships 1-4 for bachelor’s degree students were assessed in three areas, including the problems relating to instructors, internship courses, and cartable from the perspective of the students. In total, 8 main themes and 30 subthemes were extracted in each area.
