Preceptorship Method Development Based on Experiential Learning to Improve Preceptor Clinic Competency

Introduction: Preceptorship is an intense partner of people who are more skilled or experienced with fewer skills or experience, with goals agreed upon by people who have less experience to add and develop specific competencies, with increasing numbers of new nurses in the Lavalette hospital then increasing also the problems that exist in the Lavalette hospital. The most common problem experienced by preceptors is the schedule of guidance with new nurses is not the same as the preceptor schedule when serving, preceptors undergo expert level education and most of the reasons are due to lack of information on preceptorship training, unbalanced preceptor ratios with new nurses, so that preceptors do not know the task in detail. The purpose of this study was to develop a preceptorship method based on experiential learning to improve the competence of preceptor clinics.

Method: This type of research a Research and Development research (R & D). The sampling method used was purposive sampling with 112 people divided into two groups (control group and treatment group). The intervention of the control group was applied every day for 4 meetings, and the treatment group was applied 4 times.

Result and Analysis: The independent t-test results in the control group were p <0.05 in the experiential learning variable.

Discusion and Conclusions: In this study is the development of the preceptorship method based on experiential learning simultaneously will affect the increase in the competence of preceptor clinics.
