Abstract

Background

The learning environment can influence a student's success in their final nursing preceptorship. Several factors contribute to positive learning environments; however, little is known about how much stakeholders value each factor. When something is valued, it is more likely to influence behavior.

Aim

The purpose of this study is to explore the value stakeholders place on these factors.

Methods

This study used an exploratory mixed methods design using an Appreciative Inquiry (AI) approach. Participants were sent surveys designed in Qualtrics. Basic descriptive statistics were used to present results.

Results

Students and preceptors placed the greatest value on student and preceptor attitudes and approaches. Most students ranked preceptor attitudes and approaches as having the most influence on a positive preceptorship experience. Preceptors ranked student attitudes and approaches as the most influential.

Conclusion

This study will inform program design that incorporates valued factors to promote student success in final preceptorships.

塑造积极的学习环境：护理实习的重要因素

学习环境会影响学生在最后的护理实习中的成功。有几个因素有助于形成积极的学习环境；然而，利益相关者对每个因素的重视程度却知之甚少。当某物被重视时，它更有可能影响行为。目的本研究的目的是探讨利益相关者对这些因素的价值。方法本研究采用了一种探索性的混合方法设计，采用欣赏式询问（AI）方法。参与者收到了用Qualtrics设计的调查问卷。使用基本的描述性统计来呈现结果。结果学生和导师最重视学生和导师的态度和方法。大多数学生认为师长的态度和方法对积极的师长经历影响最大。导师们认为学生的态度和方法是最具影响力的。结论本研究将为课程设计提供参考，以纳入有价值的因素，以促进学生在最后的导师生涯中取得成功。
