SATISFACTION OF OPERATING ROOM STUDENTS WITH PRECEPTORSHIP SUPERVISION IN CLINICAL EDUCATION

Clinical education environment with different educational models is a place to
develop students' clinical skills to enter their working community, i.e. the hospital. The aim of this study
was to determine the level of satisfaction of operating room students with the implementation of clinical
education by preceptorship method in Alborz University of Medical Sciences in 2019-2020.
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, 52 7th and 8th semester
undergraduate operating room students entered the study. Data were collected through a clinical
facilitation satisfaction questionnaire and entered into SPSS software and analyzed through descriptive
tests (mean and standard deviation) and analytical tests (Pearson’s correlation coefficient, t-test).
Results: The results of the present study showed that the students' satisfaction with the implementation
of the preceptorship model is at a desirable level and its average is 97.51. T-test showed a significant
difference between the mean satisfaction score in women and men (p = 0.007) and the satisfaction score
was significantly higher in men than women.
Conclusion: Considering the satisfaction of final year students of the operating room with the
implementation of this educational model, this method can be used along with other methods in the
clinical education of students.
