摘要
Objective: The purpose of this UK based study is to ascertain the support provided to preceptors and the qualities they require to carry out their role supporting newly qualified professionals. Design: A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted to elicit the experiences and perceptions of the preceptors in practice. Sample and Methods: A cross-section of 30 preceptors were randomised across 3 hospital sites within one acute Trust. Questionnaires were distributed with a response rate of 37% (n = 11). Five preceptors participated in a semi-structured interview (n = 5). Findings and Discussion: The themes that emerged from the analysis were lack of preparation for their role, expectations of the preceptors and how they perceive the role and the limitations and difficulties associated with being a preceptor. Conclusions: Preceptor attributes and programme approaches have been discussed in the existing literature although guidance concerning preparation and training for the role in the UK is less well documented. The findings of this small scale study may be useful in planning and developing preceptorship programmes in the future to provide sustainable support to develop the preceptor as well as the preceptee.
