The senior nursing preceptorship is the culminating clinical experience in the baccalaureate nursing program and assists students in the application of their nursing knowledge and skills. Students' success in getting their first job may also depend on this clinical preceptorship. How well they learn to practice their nursing skills before graduating may determine the success of their transition from being a student nurse to becoming a staff nurse. This descriptive study explored the perceptions of senior baccalaureate nursing students about their clinical preceptorship program. Perceptions were examined in relation to (a) the degree of students' interaction with the preceptor and (b) the degree of their perceptions of competence in using the nursing process. Data were collected from 102 senior nursing students with the use of a 52-item survey questionnaire that included opinion and competence statements. The results suggest that the clinical preceptorship program increased the overall perceived competence of 91 of the 102 nursing students. With a greater amount of preceptor interaction, there was a greater degree of perceived competence in nursing skills among the students. Ninety-six percent of the students rated their relationship with their preceptor as important to very important. The results also identified strong and weak areas of perceived clinical skills in the students. These results will help in facilitating future senior nursing preceptorship placements.
高级护理实习指导是护理学学士学位课程中的终极临床体验,可帮助学生应用其护理知识和技能。学生获得第一份工作的成功与否可能也取决于这次临床实习指导。他们在毕业前学习护理技能的程度如何,可能决定其从学生护士向在职护士过渡的成功与否。这项描述性研究探讨了护理学学士学位高年级学生对其临床实习指导计划的看法。研究了与以下方面相关的看法:(a)学生与指导教师的互动程度;(b)他们对运用护理程序能力的认知程度。通过使用一份包含意见和能力陈述的52项调查问卷,从102名高年级护理学生那里收集了数据。结果表明,临床实习指导计划提高了102名护理学生中91人的总体感知能力。指导教师互动越多,学生对护理技能的感知能力就越强。96%的学生将他们与指导教师的关系评为重要至极重要。结果还确定了学生在感知临床技能方面的优势和薄弱领域。这些结果将有助于促进未来高级护理实习指导的安排。
