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.

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).

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.

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.
