This study sought to understand primary health care nurse preceptors' experiences of precepting junior nurses.
Nurse preceptors provide clinical teaching to nurses and pre-registration nurses and play a supervisory role in their work. The demand for preceptors in the primary health care setting is on the rise, and there is a huge responsibility placed on them on top of their routine workload.
A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted, and purposive sampling was used to select the participants. 14 nursing preceptors across six polyclinics were interviewed. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
The analysis revealed three themes: (1) a vessel for transferring knowledge; (2) building a therapeutic relationship; and (3) overcoming organisational barriers.
In light of the study's findings, strategies to address the insufficient knowledge of nurse preceptors, lack of recognition and preceptorship opportunities must be developed.
More attention and opportunities for nurse preceptors' professional development such as courses to enhance their knowledge on educational and research developments as well as teaching seminars to maintain and build effective relationships with their preceptees. In addition, recognizing the role of nurse preceptors as a pillar of guiding the future generation of nurses and research to support nurse preceptors in their training cannot be undermined.
本研究旨在了解初级保健护士导师指导初级护士的经验。
护士导师为护士和注册前护士提供临床教学，并在他们的工作中发挥监督作用。初级保健环境中对导师的需求正在上升，除了日常工作量之外，他们还承担着巨大的责任。
采用描述性定性方法，采用目的性抽样选择参与者。在六个综合诊疗所采访了 14 名护理导师。使用主题分析对数据进行分析。
分析揭示了三个主题：（1）知识传递的容器；（2）建立治疗关系；（3）克服组织障碍。
鉴于研究结果，必须制定策略来解决护士导师知识不足、缺乏认可和导师机会的问题。
应更加关注和提供护士导师的专业发展机会，例如课程以增强他们在教育和研究发展方面的知识，以及教学研讨会以维持和建立与他们的学员的有效关系。此外，不能忽视护士导师作为指导未来一代护士的支柱的作用，以及支持护士导师培训的研究。
