The common behavioral model for preceptor education is insufficient. An interpretive approach using nurse preceptor narratives offers a richer understanding of this complex educational process.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Traditional behavioral models inadequately represent the complexity of nursing precepting.
  • There is a need for more nuanced approaches in preceptor education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an interpretive approach as an alternative for preceptor education.
  • To enhance the understanding of precepting as an educational process through narrative.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an interpretive approach for preceptor education.
  • Described a preceptor education program incorporating preceptor narratives.
  • Analyzed narratives to identify key themes.

Main Results:

  • Identified themes including teaching, the nature of nursing as precepting, and the importance of timing.

  • Demonstrated how narrative interpretation can provide a model for nurse educators.
  • Highlighted the richness and complexity inherent in the practice of precepting.

    • Conclusions:

    • An interpretive approach, centered on narrative, offers a more comprehensive model for preceptor education.
    • Restoring narrative to nursing practice can recapture the depth of the precepting experience.
    • This approach provides valuable insights for nurse educators and preceptors.
