〔Objective〕The purpose of this study is to identify factors that affect the role performance of preceptor.
〔Method〕A quantitative approach based on mail survey in Japanese was employed. We adopted the Self-evaluation Scale of Preceptor Role Performance for New Graduate Nurses, which proposed by Yositomi to assess role fulfillment. The participants were 409 preceptor nurses working at hospital with 200 and more beds in Hokkaido.
〔Result〕The lowest score in role performance was “being offered to the adjustment of the self of excessive workload”, The multiple regression analysis revealed the following factors affect role performance; “gender”, “number of experiences”, “lack of knowledge and skills”, “self and new graduate nurses feeling of growth”, “preceptor training”, “place to share a goal such as guidance”, “the trouble forum for consultation”, “organizational climate of the ward”. The most influence factor was the “organizational climate of the ward”.
〔Discussion〕The following was suggested as key factor for preceptor to play a role：Regulation of work volume, place to learn skills and involvement in realizing the growth of New Graduate Nurses themselves, training on the role of preceptors, sharing vision in new guidance, improvement of organizational climate.
