“…Furthermore, the preceptors assisted the student to identify individual learning needs and identified learning opportunities for them. This finding concurs with other researchers' reports that the presence of clinical preceptors is important for students' learning as the preceptors provide continuous support [17], [24] close guidance and assistance [25] as well as a one-on-one learning opportunity [1]. Similarly, the key determinants for student satisfaction of their clinical learning experience have been reported as quality clinical facilitator support and the availability of a range of clinical learning opportunities [26].…”

Objective Clinical environment remains an important aspect in the development of student's competence, confidence and fulfillment of their expected learning outcomes. Preceptors and clinical teachers play a significant role in preparing students to achieve their professional goals through continuous support and resource provision. This study explored the students' perception of using clinical preceptors to improve their clinical learning outcomes. Methods The researchers used semi structured interviews to collect qualitative data. A total of 48 students were purposively and conveniently sampled from 8 hospitals to participate in the study. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings Two themes emerged from the study findings namely: creating a positive clinical learning environment and facilitating academic clinical collaboration. Conclusions The findings of the study revealed that students gained more confidence and competence in clinical practice when supported by preceptors as well as achieved clinical learning outcomes. These findings suggest the need to train more clinical preceptors for improvement of students' clinical learning outcomes.

“…That is why the teaching style, knowledge and experience of the preceptor are important to the preceptorship programme. A qualitative study by Dias et al ( 2015 :53) conducted in Pakistan, interviewing nine students and six preceptors in focus group discussions found that students reported that preceptors are an invaluable resource. Miller, Vivona and Roth ( 2016 :2020) found in their study that a majority of respondents reported positive experiences with their preceptors.…”

“…Furthermore, in a study in the US with 34 preceptors and 30 novice nurses as participants, Hickerson, Terhaar and Taylor ( 2016 :61) found that the preceptor support programme was associated with positive assessments by the novice nurses of their preceptors’ teaching and support. It can be seen that students appreciate the preceptorship model as an innovative way of teaching pedagogy (Dias et al 2015 :53). In a study conducted in Ethiopia with 109 respondents, Teferra and Mengistu ( 2017 :86) found that of the respondents who are familiar with the clinical preceptorship concept, 96.3% of the respondents were classified as having a favourable attitude towards clinical preceptorship.…”

Background: The new role as professional nurse can be a difficult transition for the new qualified nurses. During this time, factors such as not being well prepared, working without supervision and a lack of guidance can be the result of a difficult transition.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the perceptions of newly qualified nurses on the guidance given by their preceptors towards becoming experts in practice at a Level II regional hospital in the Western Cape.Method: A non-experimental quantitative descriptive design was followed. Collection of data was done by means of a questionnaire, designed by the researcher, using a cross-sectional research method. Non-probability sampling produced a sample of 162 nurses comprising registered nurses (48.2%), enrolled nurses (32.7%), and enrolled nursing auxiliaries (19.1%). Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS), version 9.3.Results: The results of the research study indicated that respondents had more positive experiences than negative ones. The respondents indicated that for the role and characteristics of the preceptor, expectations were met for knowledgeability, professionalism and contribution to team work. Furthermore, the results indicated that the respondents would recommend preceptorship.Conclusion: Preceptorship is one of the major interventions available to support newly qualified nurses by easing the transition from student to practicing nurse and reducing the theory-practice gap. The findings emphasised the importance of ongoing support programmes for nurses after obtaining a new qualification or/and being a new nurse.
