A transition programme to enhance ICU new graduate nurses' professional identity and intention to remain employed: A pre- and postevaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To investigate the effect of a transition programme including cognitive-behaviour-based preceptorship intervention on ICU new graduate nurses' (NGNs)' professional identity and their intention to remain employed.

Design

One-arm pre- and post-test design followed the TREND Statement.

Methods

NGNs' professional identity and intention to remain employed were measured at baseline (T1), postintervention (1 month, T2) and 6-month follow-up (T3).

Results

Fifty-three NGNs completed the programme, and their professional identity score significantly increased postintervention [from 111.5 (SD = 16.72) at T1 to 114.2 (SD = 9.12) at T2, p < 0.05], but decreased at T3 [105.8 (SD = 9.44) compared with T1 and T2, p < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in ICU NGNs'
