Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical study aims to implement and evaluate a professional development programme (ProDeveloP) designed to facilitate the transition of newly graduated nurses (NGNs) into their new roles. NGNs face several challenges in the work environment and in developing their professional competencies. The aim is to support NGNs in a county hospital in central Sweden to facilitate their professional development. Data will be collected during the NGNs' first year through intensive longitudinal measures, including weekly and quarterly questionnaires. This will be combined with individual interviews and focus groups with NGNs, dialogue facilitators and managers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary outcomes will be role clarity, task mastery, social acceptance, recovery and stress. The researchers will compare the results of the primary outcomes with those of a control group measure. Secondary outcomes will be experience of the intervention, transition support, job satisfaction and intention to leave.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Professional development programme

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The professional development programme include dialogue groups facilitated by registered nurses (RN) who are expert and experienced supervisors that received a three day training before conducting the groups. Then including education days with joint lectures and simulations with experts in the field with experience. The programme provides NGNs with regular opportunities for reflection for learning from experiences of care to enhance personal and professional growth.
