The relationships between clinical teaching behaviour and transition shock in newly graduated nurses

Abstract

Aim To explore the relationships between clinical teaching behaviour and transition shock in newly graduated nurses and significant differences in the northwest and northeast China. Design A cross‐sectional design. Methods A total of 211 (nurses) and 925 (preceptors) were recruited in six Third‐class different hospitals from July to August 2019. Results The transition shock is negatively correlated with the clinical teaching behaviour in northwest and northeast China, while the transition shock in the northwest is higher than that in the northeast for the behindhand economy and natural limit. Conclusion The transition process of newly graduated nurses in northeast China with ethnic minorities and the behindhand economy is more difficult. For newly graduated nurses, personal health and a supportive environment need further improvement. Teaching strategies for preceptors need to be enhanced. Two‐way feedback is more useful for both the newly graduated nurses and preceptors to improve quality care, and holistic care.

Status and associations of transition shock among nursing students during clinical practice: a cross-sectional study

“…On the one hand, preceptors should communicate more with nursing students to increase their con dence in clinical practice and improve their motivation to work. On the other hand, universities and clinical facilities need cooperation to help to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge (Yun et al, 2022) .They can cooperate to hold case-based teaching to enrich the student's updated knowledge and skills, which can prove to be effective to ease the transition process for nursing students.…”

“…According to statistics, each nursing student was required to work an average of 3.96 ± 1.64 evening shifts and 3.32 ± 1.33 night shifts per month. In actual clinical practice, the role of nursing students was either a nursing assistant or they did not seem to have a presence (Yun, 2022). Being mostly occupied with tedious basic nursing tasks that tend to generate boredom, in the long run, their work motivation would reduce and they may experience higher levels of transition shock.…”
