- BACKGROUND: Preceptorship is one model of supporting student nurses' learning and development during their clinical education. However, little is known about what there is in preceptorship that promotes or hinders learning. Earlier studies found that there were ethical dimensions to students' encounters with preceptors.AIM: The overall purpose of this Nordic follow-up study was to develop a model for learning compassionate care among student nurses during their clinical education - first, to deeper understand the learning of student nurses, and second, to investigate the phenomenon of preceptorship from the preceptors´ point of view.METHOD: This study used a mixed methods design. Undergraduate student nurses (n = 139) from three universities in Finland and Sweden were shadowed for a period of three years. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire and were analysed using statistical methods. To better understand the learning acquired by the student nurses, focus group interviews (n = 70) were conducted. The phenomenological-hermeneutical approach was adopted. To capture the preceptors' point of view, narrative interviews were held with them (n = 88) in western Finland and northern Sweden. A hermeneutical approach was used when analysing the data.FINDINGS: According to both student nurses and preceptors, a caring student-preceptor relationship, imbued with commitment, reverence and responsibility, is fundamental and serves as the basis for students' learning and development more than pedagogical methods used. Three main themes emerged: a caring student-preceptor relationship; a caring manner of being-the conduct; and a caring culture-the tone of the learning space.CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the importance of preceptorship on student nurses in their quest of becoming compassionate and caring nurses. Therefore, based on earlier findings and the findings in this study, there is a need to facilitate and support the students' transformation, that is, the process of becoming, from student to a professional nurse.

- Nursing is a complicated and multifaceted profession that sets high demands in preparing nursing students for the profession. In today's education, the emphasis is often on knowledge and skills, that is, epistemology. In caring science another approach is sought, an approach based on human sciences in which knowledge will serve a more profound understanding, that is, the ontology. Consequently, the question of what this 'understanding' in clinical education is and how it is promoted in clinical nursing education becomes important to clarify. Therefore, the aim here is to explicate the phenomenon of understanding in clinical education as experienced by third-year undergraduate nursing students ready for graduation. This study, with a hermeneutic approach, is based on a secondary analysis of focus group interviews with undergraduate nursing students. The analytical expansion of the original material suggests three interrelated themes that illuminate the phenomenon of understanding in clinical education. These findings are deepened and enriched through philosophical abstraction. In the process of understanding, episteme, techne and phronesis can be viewed as inherent parts of the structure of thought in nursing. The perspective advanced in this study adds new aspects to the phenomenon of understanding and its meaning and significance in the dynamic process of formation and becoming in clinical education. The focus in clinical nursing education should be on learning reflective, critical thinking and the ways of being a nurse, rather than drilling students on particular skills. In the rapidly changing world of the 21st century, an understanding-based education is needed as a more meaningful and authentic approach. Therefore, an ontological turn in nursing education, through which the main focus shifts from a traditional epistemology to an epistemology in the service of ontology, is suggested. Further studies are needed in the development and implementation of an understanding-based, interpretative education in nursing.
