Purpose This study investigated the effects of newly graduated nurses’ perceived readiness for nursing practice, resilience, and preceptors’ teaching behaviors on turnover intention.
Methods A survey was conducted among 168 newly graduated nurses between August 7 and 31, 2023. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Results The factors that significantly affected turnover intention included preceptors' teaching behavior (β=-.29, p=.001) and resilience (β=-.21, p=.026). This model explained 32.0% of the variance.
Conclusion Newly graduated nurses’ resilience and their initial training environment are key factors influencing turnover intention. Therefore, nursing managers should develop strategies to enhance the resilience of newly graduated nurses and improve training systems. Additionally, efforts should be made to promote positive teaching behaviors among the educators responsible for training newly graduated nurses.

Purpose This study aimed to identify the mediating effects of self-leadership and resilience on the relationship between preceptors’ clinical teaching behavior and field adaptation of new graduate nurses. Methods Data were collected from 184 new graduate nurses working at two advanced general hospitals. The research model was designed based on PROCESS macro (model 6) proposed by Hayes and analyzed using SPSS 26.0 program. Results The results showed a positive correlation between preceptors’ clinical teaching behavior and self-leadership, resilience, and field adaptation. Preceptors’ clinical teaching behavior (β=.18, p<.001) and resilience (β=.14, p=.030) had a direct effect on the field adaptation of new graduate nurses. Self-leadership and resilience had a serial double mediating effect. Preceptors’ clinical teaching behavior had a significant effect on the field adaptation of new graduate nurses through self-leadership and resilience. Conclusion To improve the field adaptation of new graduate nurses, the government should expand the current education support project to provide sufficient manpower.
Moreover, medical institutions and nursing organizations should develop and apply programs to strengthen preceptor’s clinical teaching behavior.

Purpose This study aimed to identify the effects of preceptors' teaching behavior, resilience, and organizational socialization on new graduate nurses' intention to stay.
Methods: Data were collected from 167 new graduate nurses working at a university hospital for a period of three months to one year and analyzed using SPSS 24.0, PROCESS Macro ver. 3.5.
Results: The results show that preceptors' teaching behavior, resilience, and organizational socialization had strong correlations with new graduate nurses' intention to stay. Preceptors' teaching behavior directly affected new graduate nurses' resilience and intention to stay. However, the results showed that preceptors' teaching behavior did not affect organizational socialization. Resilience directly affected organizational socialization and intention to stay, and had a simple mediation effect between preceptors' teaching behavior and intention to stay.
Moreover, resilience and organizational socialization were found to be significant mediators between preceptors' teaching behavior and intention to stay.
Conclusion: The results suggest that preceptors' teaching behavior is a key factor that strengthens new graduate nurses' intention to stay, as it promotes successful organizational socialization by improving their resilience and helping them overcome transition shock.

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 The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of preceptor nurses' self-leadership on role recognition and job satisfaction. METHOD The participants were 171 preceptor nurses worked in one of three general hospitals in Seoul. The data were collected from April 12 to May 12, 2011 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, pearson correlation, Scheffe, and regression with SPSS Win 19.0 program. RESULT The results of the study were as followed. The average score for preceptor nurses' self-leadership was 3.55, for role recognition, 3.81 and for job satisfaction, 3.28. The factors of the preceptors' self-leadership affecting role recognition were self-expectation (beta=260, p=.002) and goal setting (beta=199, p=.030), and those factors accounted for 18.9% of explanatory power. The factors of self-leadership influencing job satisfaction were self-expectation (beta=18.3, p=.021), and rehearsal (beta=-168, p=.030), and those factors accounted for 31.3% of explanatory power. Among the factors of self-leadership, self-expectation influenced both role recognition and job satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS The results of the study indicate that to improve preceptor's role recognition and job satisfaction, there should be special training programs to enhance preceptor's self leadership.

PURPOSE As Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has increasingly been proven as a means of cost-effective and higher-quality healthcare, its successful implementing are challenging. This study done to identify EBP beliefs, knowledge and performance among nurses experienced as a preceptor. METHOD A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted with a convenience sample of 249 preceptor nurses working in 9 general hospitals in Korea. Reliable and valid questionnaires (EBP beliefs scale, Evidence Based Practice Questionnaire, Research-related activities) were used and the data were analyzed using SPSS win 17.0. RESULT Perceived beliefs on EBP were relatively positive (mean score 3.57 out of 5), and the level of knowledge was moderate (4.21 out of 7). However, performance of EBP was low (3.82 out of 7). Regularity in reading research journals and searching evidences using core web-database were rarely conducted. Statistically significant correlations were found between beliefs, knowledge and performance of EBP (all p<.05). CONCLUSIONS This result indicates that education and training programs to facilitate EBP performance are needed among preceptor nurses.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the role experience of preceptor nurses in general hospitals. METHODS Data were collected from 10 experienced preceptor nurses through in-depth interviews about their experiences. The main question was "How do you describe your experience as a preceptor in the process of role adaptation?" Qualitative data from field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss & Corbin's grounded theory methodology. RESULTS The core category of experience in the process of role adaptation as a preceptor nurse was identified as 'being responsible to teach from beginning to end'. The participants identified five interactional strategies; 'abruptly having to take the role as a preceptor unwilling', 'difficulties in field training with variable situations', 'preceptor and new nurse with love and hate relationships', 'bring up preceptee as a child', 'redefining the concept of preceptor'. CONCLUSION The results of this study provide useful information for understanding the role of preceptor nurses in general hospital who have to teach new nurses with patience and responsibility. It will be needed to establishment of preceptor's role and educational standards, and policy for their rewards by nurse manager. Additionally, making cooperative educational climate in nursing ward is important for teaching new nurse.
