Nurse Preceptors

Background: A preceptor is a specialised tutor who provides practical training to students in the practice setting. They are frequently used to orientate nursing students to prepare them for their duties as professional nurses. In the Western Cape Province professional nurses attend a training programme to prepare them for the role of preceptor. After completion of the training it is unclear how the trained nurse preceptors perceive their preparation for the role. The perceptions of preceptors may influence their commitment to their role.Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore nurse preceptors’ perceptions of benefits, support and commitment to the preceptor role. A conceptual framework guided the study which replicated previous studies that explored nurse preceptors’ perceptions.Method: A quantitative approach utilising a descriptive correlational design was used in this study to address the research questions. A convenience sample was drawn from preceptors (n = 60) who had completed a preceptor training programme at the University of the Western Cape. Instrumentation for the study included the following scales: preceptors’ perceptions of benefits and rewards, preceptors’ perceptions of support, and commitment to the preceptor role. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0.Results: The findings indicate that nurse preceptors were committed to their role.Conclusion: The findings of this study are supported by Kanter’s model of structural determinants of behaviour in organisations, since preceptors who see themselves as having access to opportunity and support are likely to be committed to their role.

The Relationship

The Emergency Department is a place for clinical practice students to acquire triage experience. Triage can be carried out well by students who are supported by the supervisor and their own knowledge. The objectives of this study were to examine the relationship between the preceptor role and student knowledge with triage skills in emergency department. The research design was cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 43 nursing students who clinical practice in the emergency department. This study used accidental sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate with the chi-square test. The results of the univariate analysis showed that 8.1% respondents had a good receptor role, 88.4% respondents had good knowledge and 60.5% nursing students had good of triage skills. The bivariate results showed a relationship between the role of supervisor and student knowledge with triage (p-value 0.006<0.05). Good triage implementation is supported by the supervisor and student knowledge. It is hoped that the hospital can apply the role of the preceptor to the maximum, set the preceptor schedule with the preceptee at the same time and the lecturers of educational institutions carry out simulations or equip students about triage optimal.   Keywords: Preceptor, Knowledge, Triage Skills

Preceptor Role

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare expatriate and Saudi nursing staff’s perceptions of factors that influence their role as preceptors of nursing students. Methods Descriptive comparative study using a self-administered survey was completed by a convenience sample of eligible nurses (n=285). It was conducted in five different hospitals within the Ministry of Health in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Results Most preceptors were expatriate nurses (70.5%), while Saudi preceptors represented only 29.5%. The findings show that there is a difference between Saudi and expatriate nurses in their perception of the role, that cultural factors influence the role of expatriate preceptors and that organisational factors influence both groups. Conclusions Expatriate preceptors felt that there were cultural obstacles that hindered their role. These findings will contribute to the development of a more contemporary and culturally sensitive preceptorship model.
