Preceptors found competency-based orientation effective but felt the time allotted for core competencies was insufficient. Developing learner-focused programs with adequate time is crucial for practitioner competence.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Competency-based orientation is increasingly adopted in healthcare settings.
  • Effective orientation is vital for new practitioner competence and patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate preceptors' perceptions of a competency-based orientation program.
  • To identify strengths and weaknesses in the current orientation process.

Main Methods:

  • A 26-item questionnaire was administered to all preceptors.
  • Data analysis focused on preceptors' agreement with statements regarding core competencies and orientation effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • The majority of preceptors agreed that core competencies were role- and unit-specific.

  • Most preceptors viewed competency-based orientation as an effective method.
  • A significant majority indicated insufficient time for core competency completion.

    • Conclusions:

    • Competency-based orientation is perceived as effective but requires adjustments.
    • Current timeframes may hinder new practitioners' ability to achieve competence.
    • Developing learner-focused programs with adequate competency validation time is recommended.
