This study involved the training of clinical nursing preceptors by improving the consistency of teaching regarding newly employed nursing staff and training nursing preceptors in how to direct newly-employed nursing staff in transferring critical-condition patients. A one-group pretestposttest study design was applied, and 25 clinical nursing preceptors were enrolled at a medical center in Central Taiwan. The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was employed as the assessment tool for analyzing consistency in transferring critical-condition patients. The results of the study indicated that two items 'assessment for preparation of pretransferring' and 'effective communication with relevant staff' exhibited signifi cant statistical values (p<.001). This suggested that the training course facilitates consistency. The consistency of nursing preceptors during the assessment process, regarding the categories' patient pretransfer assessment,'' preparation and functional assessment of transfer equipment,'' effective communication with associated crews,' and 'coordinated transfer' exhibited significant differences. The satisfaction of OSCE during the training course was significantly higher than in the pretest (p<.05). The overall satisfaction of nursing preceptors in this instructional course reached 98%. The findings indicate that the consistency of clinical nursing preceptors' teaching was improved by an effective instructional training course, based on the OSCE. To establish a standard in transferring critical patients and guiding new staff, adopting the proposed training for clinical nursing preceptors is recommended. |
