Abstract

Purpose: This study attempts to provide information for developing a preceptorship education program by analyzing the recognition and acceptance of the introduction of paramedic preceptorship in the clinical practice of paramedic students in Korea. Methods: Data were collected from 120 paramedics from December 26, 2013, to February 20, 2014. A questionnaire consisting 33 questions was administered, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Results: The overall responses were positive, and the subjects were very interested in the introduction of paramedic preceptorship in paramedic education and clinical practice settings. The mean score for preceptorship acceptance was 3.97 on a 5-point Likert scale. In terms of recognition, 59.0% of the 78 subjects were able to explain preceptorship. In terms of acceptance, 85.8% of the subjects agreed with preceptorship and 81.7% considered an effective training method. Conclusion: Most of the subjects agreed that preceptorship is very important for the education of paramedic students. The preceptorship education program development will be the basis of clinical practice.
