  • Participants included preceptors, orientees, nursing unit managers, and clinical nurse educators.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed framework provided a structured process for articulating expectations.
    • Preceptors reported that the process of articulating expectations was helpful, relevant, and meaningful.
    • The action research approach facilitated the iterative development and refinement of the framework.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed framework is a valuable tool for enhancing communication and clarifying expectations in nursing preceptorship.
