    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Organizational Change Management
    • Healthcare Quality Improvement

    Background:

    • Traditional orientation programs often lack efficiency and preceptor engagement.
    • Staff nurse preceptors require structured support and clear roles for effective orientation.
    • Implementing new programs necessitates strategic change management to ensure adoption.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement a competency-based orientation (CBO) program utilizing a change theory model.
    • To enhance preceptor satisfaction and program effectiveness through staff nurse management.
    • To improve patient outcomes by optimizing the orientation process for new nurses.

    Main Methods:

    • Applied Hersey and Blanchard's change theory framework to assess staff nurse preceptors.
    • Developed and implemented a competency-based orientation (CBO) program managed by staff nurse preceptors.
    • Utilized change strategies including problem redefinition, objection handling, confidence building, motivation, and provision of direction.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved significant preceptor satisfaction with the new competency-based orientation (CBO) program.
    • Observed improvements in patient outcomes attributed to the enhanced orientation process.
    • Demonstrated a more effective and efficient orientation program with increased staff nurse ownership.

    Conclusions:

    • A competency-based orientation (CBO) program, managed by staff nurse preceptors and guided by change theory, leads to positive outcomes.
    • Empowering staff nurses with ownership and support enhances their role as preceptors and improves the orientation system.
    • The clinical nurse specialist (CNS) effectively facilitated the transition by focusing on program establishment and preceptor development.
