Objectives: To determine the level of satisfaction of undergraduate midwifery students with the teaching process and whether there are differences between student expectations and mentorassessed competencies and mentor self-assessments. Comparison of results with those at the time of the pandemic COVID-19. Material and Methods: The research was conducted online from July 26, 2018 to May 26, 2022 or over four academic years, from 2018/2019 to 2021/2022, two groups of respondents, undergraduate midwifery studies (494) and clinical mentors (105), were included. Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka (FZSRi) and Mostar (FZSMo). Two measurement instruments were used: the Health Study Satisfaction Scale (SSS) and the Croatian version of the Nursing Clinical Teacher Effectiveness Inventory (NCTEI), which was used in three studies: for student assessments of desired mentoring competencies and student assessments of mentoring competencies in clinical teaching, while in the third study it was used for self-assessments of mentoring competencies. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in satisfaction ratings before (4.18) and at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as statistically significant comparisons of responses to Item 30 "Overall satisfaction with studying at my university" differences between FZSRi students and FZSMo, except for Factor 2. "Environment," where FZSMo students' satisfaction was greater than FZSRi students'. Comparing the students' assessments of desirable mentoring skills with the FZSRi and FZSMo students' assessments of their own mentoring skills by factor, there is a statistically significant difference for three factors: "Mentor's ability to impart knowledge", "Student's evaluation of mentor" and "Mentor-student relationship". Comparing students' expectations of desirable mentoring skills by year of study, first-year students had significantly the lowest expectations, while third-year students had the lowest estimated mentoring skills. Student expectations of desirable mentoring competencies are significantly higher during pandemic COVID-19. Conclusion: This study confirms that midwifery students are satisfied with the quality of the teaching process and that the COVID-19 pandemic did not negatively affect student satisfaction. Students' expectations and assessments of mentoring competencies did not match mentors' selfassessments and thus did not meet the hypothesis.
