Previous studies have demonstrated that preceptor training programs enhance preceptor competence and effectiveness. However, there is little research that has investigated the link between preceptor training and the quality of clinical placement.
This study sought to determine if preceptor training influences nursing students' satisfaction with the quality of their clinical placement and their perceptions of preceptor competence.
Prospective longitudinal survey.
A total of 189 nursing students from two Nursing Training Colleges in the north of Ghana were surveyed before and after a preceptor training program using two validated questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired samples t-test.
There was a statistically significant increase in student satisfaction with the quality of their clinical placement following preceptors' participation in a preceptor training workshop (t(149) = 4.567, p < 0.001). Student perception of preceptor competence also had a statistically significant improvement following preceptor training, increasing from an average of 136.96 ± 21.45 at baseline to 156.49 ± 25.403 in the follow-up survey (t(142) = 6.731, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the percentage of students who perceived preceptors to be highly competent increased from 23.3 % at baseline to 53.8 % following the preceptor training.
The findings from this study indicate that when supported by preceptors who themselves have had training in effective preceptorship, students are more likely to report higher quality clinical placement and perceive preceptors to be more competent.
以往研究表明，带教教师培训项目可提高带教教师的能力和效能。然而，很少有研究调查带教教师培训与临床实习质量之间的联系。
本研究旨在确定带教教师培训是否会影响护生对临床实习质量的满意度及其对带教教师能力的看法。
前瞻性纵向调查。
使用两份经过验证的问卷，对加纳北部两所护理培训学院的189名护生在带教教师培训项目前后进行了调查。采用描述性统计和配对样本t检验对数据进行分析。
带教教师参加带教教师培训工作坊后，学生对临床实习质量的满意度有统计学意义的显著提高（t(149)=4.567，p<0.001）。带教教师培训后，学生对带教教师能力的看法也有统计学意义的显著改善，从基线时的平均136.96±21.45提高到随访调查中的156.49±25.403（t(142)=6.731，p<0.001）。此外，认为带教教师能力很强的学生比例从基线时的23.3%增加到带教教师培训后的53.8%。
本研究结果表明，当带教教师接受过有效的带教培训时，学生更有可能报告更高质量的临床实习，并认为带教教师更有能力。
