| Popis: | Staff nurse preceptors contribute importantly to student learning and to academic program outcomes; however, academic-clinical partnerships can offer focused learning opportunities for preceptors as well. This study addressed different interest levels in evidence-based practice across clinical settings by testing the effectiveness of a workshop designed to increase preceptor knowledge and endorsement of evidence-based practice. Nurse preceptor participants ( N = 160) recruited from seven hospitals during 2009 to 2011 had an average age of 43.9 ( SD = 11.5) and an average of 17.0 ( SD = 11.2) years of nursing experience. Participants’ scores on the Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs Scale improved significantly from pretest to posttest ( M pre = 59.0, SD pre = 8.4, M post = 66.4, SD post = 6.8, p < .001), which was confirmed by subgroup analyses. At follow-up (1 to 25 months), 52% of the nurse preceptors reported increased use of evidence-based practice. This study indicates that a short collaborative, content-focused workshop can promote preceptor endorsement of evidence-based practice. |
