Please join us for our next monthly session on March 7, 2022 as , Ivy Sackey, a member of West African Postgraduate College of Nursing and Midwives(WAPCNM) Ghana Chapter and, a member of the Institute of Directors, Ghana, will present her work entitled, “PRECEPTORSHIP PRACTICE IN HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS IN GHANA: A SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS”.

Abstract

It is a universally accepted fact, within the nursing and midwifery profession, that preceptorship is very vital if trainee nurses and midwives should adopt the profession and adapt to its tenets. However, while literature abounds and points to the fact that preceptorship plays a very vital role in healthcare delivery elsewhere in the world, in the case of Ghana, not much can be seen in this regard, while at the same time, in order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, there is the need for a standardized and coordinated approach to raising preceptors in Ghana. In the light of these, this study explored the complex dynamics of the preceptorship program in selected nursing, midwifery and healthcare institutions in Ghana using situational analysis. Three prong procedural tools – situational maps, social worlds/arenas maps, and positional maps – were applied. In the end, key among the findings made are motivational (monetary) challenges, lack of training of preceptors, politicking related to the development of preceptorship manuals, supervision, and outdated procedure guidelines for on-the-job teaching students. To address these findings, a couple of recommendations were offered in order to improve preceptorship practice at micro, meso, and macro levels in Ghana.

Hosted by: David Wasieleski, PJ Dillon, Erica Steckler, and Michael Pirson.
