Socializing for Authentic Caring Engagement in Nursing Practice: Nursing Student Moral Development in Preceptorship

Abstract

Background The purpose of this study was to explore the basic psychosocial process of undergraduate nursing student moral development in clinical preceptorship. Method A grounded theory approach was used to explore the process within the context of clinical practice and the student–preceptor–faculty member relationship. Results Socializing for authentic caring engagement in nursing practice emerged from the data as the basic psychosocial process of nursing student moral development in preceptorship. This process included four key categories: (a) distinguishing nursing and moral identity in practice, (b) learning to recognize the patient’s experience, (c) identifying moral issues in practice and creating meaning of practice encounters, and (d) becoming an advocate and reconciling moral issues in practice. Conclusion Findings emerging from this study illustrate the processes of how nursing students work through moral issues and the role of faculty and preceptors in engaging students with moral encounters in the context of preceptorship.

Contributions of the Education through Work for Health Program to the preceptors of Primary Healthcare

“…Sixteen (16) preceptors participated in the study, most of them women, aged between 30 and 62 years. Five of them reported having participated in other areas of PET such as PET-Networks, Mental Health and Maternal-Child.…”

“…Being with the professional in training and accompanying and being accompanied daily at the same time expands the perspective on the training path. Thus, it promotes new ways of working, teaching, learning, and producing among students and preceptors, fostering new health service workers with an expanded view of the scenario in which they work (7,16) .…”

“…The experience of the teaching-learning process reported by the preceptors is characterized by the dynamism and reciprocity of the actors of the Program in relation to the acquired knowledge. This scenario enables transformations in the actors involved, stimulates construction of a collective space and encourages actions of an interdisciplinary nature in Primary Healthcare (16) .…”

Communities of practice: A systematic review and meta‐synthesis of what it means and how it really works among nursing students and novices

“…It is where a clinician is 'buddied' or assigned with a single novice staff member or student in the clinical setting over a period of time. Although there are variations to this model, it is through this approach, the preceptors build a strong sense of rapport, provides psychosocial support, while socialising the novice and other novices into obtaining the values, beliefs and identity of the profession and remains a central figure for the novice within the community (Quek & Shorey, 2018;Vihos et al, 2018).…”

Modul Asuhan Persalinan Kala III dengan Metode Preceptorship terhadap Keterampilan Mahasiswa DIII Kebidanan

“…Dengan cara ini, mahasiswa dapat mengembangkan penilaian klinis dan independensi dalam pelayanan kepada pasien (Nielsen et al, 2017). Pembelajaran dengan metode preceptorship juga telah diusulkan sebagai strategi pedagogis yang dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan moral mahasiswa (Vihos et al, 2019).…”
