Studies have shown that it can be challenging to assess nursing students' competence in clinical studies and assessment tools can support this work. The article explores supervisors' experiences in using the learning and assessment tool Response for the first time to supervise and assess nursing students in clinical practice. The study has a qualitative design. A total of 32 supervisors from various practical training establishments within primary care and the specialist health service participated, and six focus group interviews were held. A thematic content analysis inspired by Malterud (2017) was conducted. The results imply that Response has legitimacy as a learning and assessment tool in clinical studies. The supervisors found Response to be helpful for planning and structuring clinical practice and in the supervision of students. Supervisors found that the tool could provide a credible basis for the assessment of nursing students´ competence.
