Using Training Needs Assessment to Develop a Nurse Preceptor-Centered Training Program.

Background: Studies reveal that most nurse preceptor preparation programs do not meet nurse preceptors' training needs. This study thus developed a nurse preceptor-centered training program (NPCTP) in Taiwan.

Method: The ADDIE model was used for the instructional design.

[Reflection on Nurse Preceptor Training Courses: The Experiences of Nurse Preceptors and Preceptees].

Background: The Taiwan Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation established a nurse preceptor training program in 2012. However, there has been minimal assessment of the nurse preceptor training program from the respective perspectives of nurse preceptors and preceptees.

Purposes: This study explores the teaching experiences of nurse preceptors and the learning experiences of new nurses, and reflects on the nurse preceptor training program.

Nurse preceptor training needs assessment: views of preceptors and new graduate nurses.

Background: In Taiwan, regulatory bodies mandate that preceptor training programs comprise six mandatory topics used by all teaching hospitals. These programs have little empirical justification. This study explores the training needs of preceptors from the viewpoints of both preceptors and preceptees.
