Measuring Preceptor Selection in Long-Term Care
Abstract:
Orienting new nursing staff is costly for health care organizations. Identifying preceptor characteristics and structuring preceptor education to support those characteristics may improve the orientation process and decrease orientation cost. A descriptive, observational study identified preferred characteristics of potential preceptors (N = 39) in a long-term care/subacute facility. Results showed that mean ranks of three items on the preceptor instrument were significant, thus providing insight regarding content and desired outcome of preceptor education.
