Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Preceptorship-Mentorship
Little evidence exists to support the effects of a preceptor-mentor program for orienting newly hired certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). The literature suggests that participation in a preceptorship-mentorship program will increase the satisfaction, confidence, and comfort of both preceptors and newly hired orientees. The purpose of this project was to determine the effects of these outcomes. This program was developed based on best evidence and implemented as a quality improvement project. Three sessions were held to educate preceptors (N = 12) in the following areas: communication skills, providing constructive feedback, and assessing learner's styles and needs. The results suggested that participation significantly increased CRNA preceptor satisfaction and comfort in the precepting experience. The newly hired CRNAs answered that they were mostly or very much satisfied and confident at the completion of their orientation period. This program can be expanded to include additional preceptors and be sustained with future new hires. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(10):464-473.
