Purpose This study aimed to identify the types of role perception of preceptors for new nurses.
Methods: For this study the Q methodology was applied in which 36 Q samples were selected out of 210 Q population extracted from literatures and in-depth clinical interviews with preceptors, new nurses and nursing managers. P samples consisted of 30 nurses having experience as preceptors for new nurses. The Q samples were classified into a normal distribution frame measured with a nine-point scale. Data were analyzed using PQ Method program.
Results: Four types of role perception were identified: (1) cleaning up regarding work, (2) guardians of clinical adaption, (3) on-the job educator, and (4) role model as a nurse. The ‘cleaning up regarding work’ type was most frequently used by the participants.
Conclusion: The results showed that the preceptors felt strong responsibility in helping their preceptees to adapt successfully to a new job. The preception was reflected in four types of role perception. The negative role preception results in a great burden to preceptors. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a support system for preceptors to reduce negative role perception through the connection of preceptees appropriate to the role perception type of preceptors.

PURPOSE This study was done to identify relationships among post-traumatic stress (PTS), job stress and turnover intention in emergency department (ED) nurses. METHODS Participants were 250 ED nurses who had worked for one month or longer in the ED one of three university hospitals or seven general hospitals in Daegu City or Gyeong Buk Province in Korea. Structured questionnaires were used to measure PTS, job stress, and turnover intention of participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, path analysis, and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS program. RESULTS There were significant relationships between PTS, job stress and turnover intention. PTS influenced turnover intention directly and was indirectly mediated by job stress. The experience of traumatic events influenced PTS, job stress, and turnover intention. Indirect experience of traumatic events in the ED was an important predictor, explaining 20.1% of PTS in high-risk post-traumatic participants. CONCLUSION PTS can be an important factor for job stress and turnover intention. The direct and indirect experience of traumatic events can influence PTS, job stress, and turnover intention in ED nurses. Based on these results, strategies for managing PTS and relating job stress are recommended to reduce turnover intention in ED nurses.
