Data from: Preceptor Training Program - Pre-training Needs Analysis

This data relates to a preceptor training needs analysis of key stakeholders which was conducted to inform the development of a pharmacist preceptor training program. The study involved sequential mixed methods and included a survey and interviews with pharmacist preceptors, a survey and interviews with pharmacy students and interviews with pharmacy academic staff.    
This dataset contains the results and data analysis of 55 preceptor surveys and 37 student surveys which were administered online through Qualtrics and analysed using SPSS (SPSS 27 Statistics for Windows, Armonk, NY: IBM Corp). It also contains the analysis data for 10 preceptor interviews, 9 academic staff interviews and 3 student focus groups (involving 9 students). The data were analysed by thematic analysis using NVivo (NVivo; QSR International Pty, Ltd, Version 12, 2018)
The data from this needs analysis provided information which was used to create a purpose-built training program for pharmacist preceptors at James Cook University.
This dataset includes:

1 x SPSS file (.xlsx) containing survey data and analysis of the preceptor and student surveys
Copies of the preceptor and student surveys
Transcripts of preceptor and academic staff interviews and student focus groups
1 x NVivo (.nvp) analysis of preceptor and academic staff interviews and student focus group interviews.

The resulting training program was developed online using a Blackboard Learning organizational site at James Cook University. The program was evaluated from the perspective of both preceptors and experiential placement students. The data for the program analysis is contained in a separate publication: Preceptor Training program – Post-training analysis (under embargo)
