Summary
Preceptors need ongoing support for challenging situations. Educational podcasts improved their perceived support and role commitment, especially for less experienced preceptors.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Professional Development
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Preceptors often lack ongoing support for managing difficult situations with novice nurses.
- Key challenges include addressing unsafe practices, poor communication, and unprofessional behavior.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of educational podcasts in supporting preceptors.
- To demonstrate constructive approaches for handling difficult preceptor-novice nurse interactions.
- To examine the link between preceptor support and role commitment.
Main Methods:
- A correlational research design was employed.
- Educational podcasts were developed and made continuously available online.
- Participants' perception of support and role commitment were assessed.
Main Results:
- A significant increase in perceived preceptor support was observed.
- This increase was particularly notable among preceptors with less training or experience.
- A strong positive correlation was found between perceived support and role commitment.
Conclusions:
- Educational podcasts can effectively enhance preceptor support.
- Ongoing educational technology is recommended for continuous professional development.
- Improved support is linked to increased preceptor role commitment.
