A web-based clinical pedagogy program to promote professional development for nurse preceptors: A quasi-experimental study. Nurse Education in Practice 59 : 103288-. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nepr.2022.103288 | Abstract: | Objective: To examine the effectiveness of a web-based clinical pedagogy program on nurse preceptors’ clinical teaching competency, self-efficacy, and attitudes toward web-based learning in comparison to face-to-face course. Background: Preceptorship is a dynamic educational process that requires designing, and implementing various teaching strategies, evaluation, assessment and feedback. Web-based learning has been recognized as an effective learning approach for nursing professional development. Design: A prospective quasi-experimental approach with two-group pre-test and post-test repeated measures was adopted. Methods: The web-based clinical pedagogy program was provided to the preceptors in the experimental group, while control group received the face-to-face preceptorship course. Clinical Teaching Competence Inventory (CTCI), Preceptor Self-efficacy Assessment Instrument (PSEQ), and Attitudes toward Web-based Continuing Learning Survey (AWCLS) were used to evaluate preceptors’ learning outcomes. Data were collected at three time points – before, immediately after the learning program, and after 6 months of the clinical teaching experience. Results: A total of 150 nurses (75 participants/group) were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Singapore from July 2018 to June 2020. The results from the repeated measures analysis of covariance showed that there was a significant interaction effect (group x time) on the overall CTCI score after adjusting for covariate (F = 5.390, p = 0.005). However, there were no significant interaction effect (group x time) on PSEQ (F = 2.693, p = 0.070) and overall AWCLS score (F = 1.341, p = 0.264) between the two groups across the three time points. Conclusion: The web-based clinical pedagogy program produced outcomes comparable to the face-to-face program in terms of preceptors’ clinical teaching competence and self-efficacy. The innovative and cost-effective web-based clinical pedagogy program provided professional development and the flexibility to accommodate preceptors’ busy work schedules. Online learning has become increasingly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic and the web-based clinical pedagogy program was implemented when face-to-face workshop was not feasible. | Source Title: | Nurse Education in Practice | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/239155 | ISSN: | 1471-5953 1873-5223 |
