Preceptorship influences Registered Nurses' (RNs) daily work to different degrees depending on nursing students' knowledge, and willingness to learn. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to investigate how RNs assess nursing students in clinical education. The aim of this study was to describe RNs' perceptions of nursing students' preparation and study approaches at hospital workplaces, and to explore relationships between RNs' perceptions and their personal/clinical characteristics. A cross-sectional design was used. In 2006, 142 of 196 RNs at a Swedish hospital answered a questionnaire (response rate 72.5%). The majority of RNs (63-84%) rated students' study approaches highly and thought students comprehended the outcomes of learning. Fewer (45-49%), rated students as having adequate theoretical knowledge highly and were of the opinion that they had acquired knowledge about the unit. Statistically, non specialist nurses rated significantly higher compared with specialist nurses. Significant positive correlations were found between the RNs' perceptions of nursing students and their interest in preceptoring. The extent to which preparation programmes, established in collaboration between a university and a hospital, had improved preceptors and nursing students was not graded. Further descriptive and intervention studies are therefore needed.
导师制对注册护士（RNs）的日常工作有不同程度的影响，这取决于护理学生的知识水平和学习意愿。因此，调查 RNs 如何在临床教育中评估护理学生是至关重要的。本研究旨在描述 RNs 在医院工作场所对护理学生准备情况和学习方法的看法，并探讨 RNs 的看法与其个人/临床特征之间的关系。本研究采用了横断面设计。2006 年，瑞典一家医院的 196 名 RN 中的 142 名（回应率为 72.5%）回答了一份问卷。大多数 RN（63-84%）高度评价学生的学习方法，并认为学生理解学习成果。较少的（45-49%）认为学生具有高度的理论知识，并认为他们已经获得了有关该单位的知识。非专家护士的评分明显高于专家护士。RNs 对护理学生的看法与其指导兴趣之间存在显著的正相关关系。大学与医院合作建立的预备方案是否提高了导师和护理学生的水平，这一点尚未得到评估。因此，还需要进一步进行描述性和干预性研究。
