The study mapped the support provided for newly qualified practitioners across Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
Newly qualified practitioners require support and guidance to facilitate their transition from student to their new role as qualified practitioner. Professional bodies advocate that programmes be provided but the type and intensity of that support is variable.
Telephone interviews were conducted with 24 people delivering support for newly qualified practitioners across professions in 13 different health care trusts. Documents (n = 41) related to support programmes were analysed. Two case study site visits and a knowledge exchange conference of 45 delegates completed the data collection. Data were analysed using the constant comparative method of analysis.
Support for newly qualified practitioners was largely idiosyncratic to profession and Trust. Evidence emerged of a conceptual shift from basic competency acquisition toward a corporate induction programme.
Interdisciplinary programmes can provide generic transitional support, but the newly qualified practitioners favoured skill acquisition to help them to be effective in their new role. Measuring the impact of newly qualified practitioner support on patient outcome and the practitioner is required.
A career pathway for those who support newly qualified practitioners and one that includes specific preparation for the role is proposed.
本研究绘制了肯特郡、萨里郡和苏塞克斯郡为新获得资格的从业者提供支持的情况。
新获得资格的从业者需要支持和指导,以促进他们从学生转变为合格从业者的新角色。专业机构主张提供相关项目,但这种支持的类型和强度各不相同。
对来自13个不同医疗保健信托机构的24名跨专业为新获得资格的从业者提供支持的人员进行了电话访谈。对与支持项目相关的41份文件进行了分析。两次案例研究实地考察以及一次有45名代表参加的知识交流会议完成了数据收集。采用持续比较分析法对数据进行分析。
对新获得资格的从业者的支持在很大程度上因专业和信托机构而异。有证据表明从基本能力获取向企业入职培训计划发生了概念转变。
跨学科项目可以提供一般性的过渡支持,但新获得资格的从业者更倾向于技能获取,以帮助他们在新角色中发挥有效作用。需要衡量对新获得资格的从业者的支持对患者结果和从业者的影响。
为那些支持新获得资格的从业者的人员提出了一条职业发展路径,其中包括针对该角色的具体准备。
