Exemplary Leadership Generates Trust: The Key to Success as a Preceptor for Nursing Students

Abstract

Integrity, honesty, competence, loyalty, and openness generate trust. When all involved in a clinical practice program trust each other, preceptors, medical personnel, and nursing practice students feel happy. However, students experience inappropriate guidance. Preceptors often guide less-than-optimal practitioners. This study aims to analyze the effect of exemplary leadership on trust. This type of research is quantitative. The population in this study were all nursing professional students at the Health College of Lampung Province, using a simple random sampling technique to meet the feasibility of SEM analysis. Based on data processing Exemplary Leadership (EL) to Trust (T) with the standardized coefficient result of 0.32 (an increase in Exemplary Leadership (EL) 1 will increase Trust (T) positively by 0.32). The conclusion of this study is the positive and significant effect of exemplary leadership on trust.
