Abstract

AbstractAfter their initial training, preceptors report a lack of ongoing support specifically in dealing with preceptor-identified areas of unsafe practice: the inability to demonstrate knowledge and skills, attitude problems, unprofessional behavior, and poor communication skills. The purpose of this staff development study was to test the use of educational technology in the form of podcasts, demonstrating how a preceptor could constructively approach difficult situations using caring behaviors to engage novice nurses and to examine the relationship between preceptor support and role commitment. A correlational research design was used to examine the effects of the podcasts, continuously available through common web sites. Findings include a significant increase in the preceptor’s perception of support especially among participants who had less training or experience with precepting. A strong correlation between the preceptor’s perception of support and commitment to their role was also demonstrated. Preceptors suggest development of additional podcasts for ongoing educational support.
