Abstract

Objectives This study was to analyze new nurses and preceptors' awareness of new nurses' core competency skills education program, and the degree of demand through the importance, satisfaction, and performance of each target. Methods A paired-sample t-test was conducted for each subject's factors and items through data collected through questionnaires to find out the importance, satisfaction, and performance of new nurses and preceptors, who are research subjects for the new nurses' core competency skills education program. Using the IPA technique, it was schematized as an IPA Matrix, and the distribution status by factor and item of each subject was analyzed. Results 1. Results of analysis of importance and satisfaction of new nurses' core competency skills education program. As a result of difference analysis on importance and satisfaction of 6 factors, as a result of difference analysis on importance and satisfaction by 3 factors and 34 items, 19 items showed statistically significant differences. 2. Results of IPA analysis of new nurses' core competency skills education program. In the area of continuous maintenance, the professionalism of the instructor was included among the six factors, and in the area of intensive improvement and management, the educational program and educational environment were included among the six factors. 3. Results of analysis of the importance and performance of the preceptor's nursing job. As a result of analyzing the difference in importance and performance of 16 factors of nursing job, 14 factors showed statistically significant differences, and in most factors, the importance was higher than the performance. There was a statistically significant difference in importance and performance in 38 out of 51 nursing job items, and most of ‘performance’, which showed high importance, showed a difference. 4. Results of the IPA analysis on the nursing job of the preceptor. Among the 16 factors, assessment, performance, communication, and cooperation were included in the continuous maintenance area, and no factors were applicable in the intensive improvement and management area. Four items of performance factors were included in the second quadrant, which means that the actual performance falls short of the job that nurses consider important. Conclusions Based on the analysis results of this study, the difference in education satisfaction of core competency skills recognized as important by new nurses and the causes of differences in importance and performance according to nursing duties among preceptors were identified, and these were identified in the education program for new nurses. By applying it, new nurses will prepare the foundation for fully practicing the core competency of nurses.
