| Popis: | The intent of this secondary analysis of a large data set was to provide empirical data on the benefits of preceptorship programs for orientation. Do nurses with preceptors have more satisfaction, social integration, and professionalism; less turnover; and better performance? The subjects were newly employed nurses, 177 were assigned to preceptors, and 98 did not have preceptors. The subjects completed questionnaires at three time periods: during the first few weeks on the job and at 6 and 12 months after employment. Data were analyzed by student's t test and chi square analysis. On average, nurses with preceptors and less education and experience and were more involved with family. They worked on units with sicker patients. Nurses with preceptors were more satisfied with social and psychological rewards initially and had more of a feeling of self-regulation. Previously employed nurses with preceptors reported more social integration at 6 and 12 months. The study provides beginning evidence that preceptors are beneficial for nurses who have limited education and experience. |
