Abstrakt:	Aim: This study aims to identify the characteristics of factors related to assertiveness of preceptors of novice nurses. Methods: An anonymous self-rating questionnaire survey was administered to 1292 preceptors working in participating city and university hospitals across Japan. The survey had question items from the Japanese version of the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (J-RAS, 30 items), and included demographic details, evaluation of the novice nurses, instruction framework, self-evaluation of the preceptors, workplace environment, and a burnout inventory (Japanese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, 22 items). Bivariate analyses were conducted using assertiveness as the objective variable, and other surveyed items as explanatory variables. Selecting variables with p values smaller than 0.2 obtained in the bivariate analysis as explanatory variables, a multiple linear regression analysis was performed. For the analyses, we used a statistics analysis software package, SPSS Statistic 22. Approval to conduct the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of University A. Results: Excluding nurse administrators, responses from 836 participants 79.4%) were analyzed. Results of the multiple regression analysis showed that the factor most strongly related to the improvement of assertiveness of preceptors were ‘making rapid decisions’. The characteristics of the factor were having ‘longer clinical experience’, thinking that ‘novice nurses are mentally weak’, ‘with poor skills’, the preceptors ‘themselves to be as valuable as others’, and ‘having confidence in their nursing in the present workplace’, and with the ‘Total burnout score significantly low’. Discussion: The characteristics of preceptors who evaluated themselves to be able to ‘make rapid decisions’, which is most strongly related to the improvement in the assertiveness of the preceptors, include longer clinical experience, seeing novice nurses as they are, and the preceptors evaluating themselves positively. Previous studies have also reported that these are important factors for preceptors to interact with novice nurses in an assertive manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
