“…As new graduate registered nurses adjust to the workplace, their colleagues play a vital role in helping them feel psychologically safe. Of these colleagues, research suggests preceptors play a particularly critical role in helping new graduate registered nurses successfully transition to practice (Goss, 2015; Piccinini, Hudlun, Branam, & Moore, 2018). In this study, new graduate registered nurses reported feeling more psychologically safe when they viewed themselves as credible and trusted by their colleagues.…”

New graduate registered nurses’ experiences with psychological safety

Aim:The purpose of this study was to gain insight into new graduate registered nurses' experiences with psychological safety.Background: Organizational learning allows acute care hospitals to consistently provide high-quality patient care. Psychological safety is critical for organizational learning. New graduate nurses in particular need to feel psychologically safe as they transition into professional nursing practice. Understanding new graduate registered nurses' experiences of psychological safety can guide leaders and others to create work environments that foster psychological safety and organizational learning.Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 newly graduated registered nurses working in inpatient hospital settings. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Four primary themes featured prominently in the new graduate nurses' experiences of psychological safety: building credibility, making personal connections, feeling supported and seeking safety. Conclusion: Understanding these themes will help nursing education programmes, nurse managers, nurse colleagues and new graduate registered nurses foster psychological safety and create environments conducive to organisational learning. Implications for Nursing Management: All members of the health care team involved in the new graduate registered nurses' transition to practice have a role in fostering psychological safety. Additional research is needed to better understand psychological safety and how to foster it.

Human resources for health interventions in high- and middle-income countries: findings of an evidence review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Many high-and middle-income countries face challenges in developing and maintaining a health workforce which can address changing population health needs. They have experimented with interventions which overlap with but have differences to those documented in low-and middle-income countries, where many of the recent literature reviews were undertaken. The aim of this paper is to fill that gap. It examines published and grey evidence on interventions to train, recruit, retain, distribute, and manage an effective health workforce, focusing on physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals in high-and middle-income countries. A search of databases, websites, and relevant references was carried out in March 2019. One hundred thirty-one reports or papers were selected for extraction, using a template which followed a health labor market structure. Many studies were cross-cutting; however, the largest number of country studies was focused on Canada, Australia, and the United States of America. The studies were relatively balanced across occupational groups. The largest number focused on availability, followed by performance and then distribution. Study numbers peaked in 2013-2016. A range of study types was included, with a high number of descriptive studies. Some topics were more deeply documented than others-there is, for example, a large number of studies on human resources for health (HRH) planning, educational interventions, and policies to reduce in-migration, but much less on topics such as HRH financing and task shifting. It is also evident that some policy actions may address more than one area of challenge, but equally that some policy actions may have conflicting results for different challenges. Although some of the interventions have been more used and documented in relation to specific cadres, many of the lessons appear to apply across them, with tailoring required to reflect individuals' characteristics, such as age, location, and preferences. Useful lessons can be learned from these higher-income settings for low-and middle-income settings. Much of the literature is descriptive, rather than evaluative, reflecting the organic way in which many HRH reforms are introduced. A more rigorous approach to testing HRH interventions is recommended to improve the evidence in this area of health systems strengthening.

“…The DEU as a preceptor training model for clinical site/academia partnership is one strategy that can close the gap between clinical practice and tertiary education (Mitchell et al, 2018). Evidence also shows that preceptor training enhances the students' transition to practice (Piccinini, Hudlun, Branam, & Moore, 2018).…”

“…Preceptors can be given the resources needed to be successful in their role, potentially resulting in successful clinical experiences for the nursing student and preceptor, however, there is lacking information about how to do so (Piccinini et al, 2018). This innovative concept is a way to enrich the experience of nursing students in roles within public health.…”

Introduction The dedicated education unit (DEU) is an innovative clinical model that prepares preceptors for success in clinical settings with nursing students. Though the DEU is mostly used in acute‐care settings, this project explores the implementation of a DEU in a public health setting. Objectives Better preparation of public health nurses and social workers as clinical preceptors for nursing students with the implementation of a DEU in a public health setting. Design IRB approved, pre/post survey with participant comments. Measurements Clinical Nurse Teacher Survey was assessed pre/post intervention with registered nurses and social work staff (n = 13). Paired t‐tests analysis was used to determine significance. The Clinical Learning Environment and Nurse Teacher (CLES+T) scale completed postimplementation by nursing students (n = 8) after the clinical rotation. Results Clinical Nurse Teacher Survey mean scores preintervention was 4.56 and increased postintervention to 4.89, though not statistically significant (p‐value .11). CLES+T showing 100% fully agree or agree that the Public Health DEU is an effective learning environment. Conclusions The DEU model in a public health setting is an opportunity to improve lived clinical experiences of preceptors and nursing students, which may increase nursing students’ positive perceptions of, and increase interest in serving as a public health nurse after graduation.
