Applying the Stetler model of research utilization in staff development: revitalizing a preceptor program.
Using a model for the utilization of research can aid and direct staff development educators in the appropriate application of existing research-based knowledge and help prevent the pitfalls of using research inaccurately. The Stetler Model of Research Utilization was applied to obtain support for and revitalize a preceptor program at one large metropolitan tertiary medical center. Applying the Stetler Model resulted in the improvement of nurses' satisfaction with their preceptors and a reduction in turnover rate.
