Background: The professional teaching competence of nurse preceptors must be monitored regularly. However, the existing instruments that are designed to measure nurse preceptor professional teaching competency seldom examine updated indicators such as inter-professional practice (IPP) and evidence-based practice. Purpose: This study constructs indicators for assessing the teaching competence of nurse preceptor. Methods: Phase I used a literature review to identify appropriate indicators of nurse preceptor teaching competence. Phase II conducted focus-group interviews with 10 nurse preceptors and 6 new nurses from a teaching hospital in southern Taiwan. Content analysis was used to construct a preliminary framework of indicators. Phase III invited 15 experts to evaluate the content validity of the preliminary indicators in two rounds using the Delphi method. Results: The teaching-related competence of nurse comprises 36 items in the five dimensions of passionate commitment to teaching, harmonious learning atmosphere, inductive teaching skills, objective feedback and evaluation, and inter-professional practice. Conclusions / Implications for Practice: The indicators developed in this study may be used by nurse preceptors to examine their teaching abilities and by healthcare institutions to design preceptor training curricula. |
