Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Advanced Practice Nursing
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • The transition to advanced practice roles requires significant self-efficacy for nurse practitioner (NP) students.
  • Clinical preceptors play a crucial role in shaping NP students' readiness for practice.
  • Existing literature suggests a link between mentorship quality and student outcomes, but specific correlations with self-efficacy require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between nurse practitioner students' perceptions of mentoring by clinical preceptors and their self-efficacy.
  • To explore how the quality of the student-preceptor relationship influences confidence in assuming the advanced practice role.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, correlational study design was employed.
  • Data were collected on NP students' perceptions of preceptor mentoring and their self-efficacy levels.
  • Theoretical frameworks included Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory and Biddle's Role Theory.

Main Results:

  • Preliminary analysis indicates a positive correlation between perceived quality of preceptor mentoring and student self-efficacy.
  • Students who reported stronger mentoring relationships demonstrated higher confidence in their advanced practice capabilities.
  • Specific aspects of mentoring, such as guidance and feedback, were associated with increased self-efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • Effective preceptor mentoring is vital for fostering self-efficacy in nurse practitioner students.
  • Findings may inform graduate nursing programs on optimizing clinical placements and preceptor selection processes.
  • Strengthening the student-preceptor relationship can enhance the development of competent advanced practice nurses.
