Dedicated education units (DEUs) have been well established throughout the country as a means of developing clinical skills in nursing students. In a DEU, maintaining an adequate number of well-prepared clinical nurse preceptors is essential for unit sustainability and effective student perception.
This study was a quasi-experimental design using self-reported survey data. A comparison analysis was conducted using the initial results of the Revised Professional Practice Environment (RPPE) survey (i.e., pre-participation and no orientation) after completion of an orientation program and participation as preceptor in a DEU.
Front-line nurses who participated as preceptors for one semester in a DEU demonstrated statistically significant improvement in two of the eight components of professional practice measured by the RPPE.
This study lends support to the notion that preceptors do experience improvement in professional practice as a result of participation in a DEU. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(1):40-46.
作为培养护生临床技能的一种方式，专门教育单元（DEUs）已在全国广泛设立。在专门教育单元中，维持足够数量且准备充分的临床护士带教老师对于单元的可持续性和学生的有效认知至关重要。
本研究采用自我报告的调查数据进行准实验设计。在完成一个入职培训项目并作为专门教育单元的带教老师参与后，使用修订后的专业实践环境（RPPE）调查的初始结果（即参与前和无入职培训）进行比较分析。
在专门教育单元担任一学期带教老师的一线护士，在RPPE所衡量的专业实践的八个组成部分中的两个方面表现出统计学上的显著改善。
本研究支持这样一种观点，即带教老师确实会因参与专门教育单元而在专业实践方面有所改进。《护理学继续教育杂志》。2017年；48(1):40 - 46。
