RESUMO
Objective: Student competence is an important topic of discussion during the implementation of counseling in the clinic. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the Team-STEPPS-based preceptorship guidance model on student competency. Methods: A comparative study was used to analyze the quantitative data. Participants were clinical practice students at "Ngudi Waluyo" Public Hospital with a total of 92 registered students divided into treatment and control groups. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney U-Test were used to assess differences between the intervention and control groups. Results: There were post-test differences between the intervention group and the control group, namely clinical competence p-value (0.003), nursing management p (0.000), technical competence p (0.008), self-management p (0.000), and care-oriented patients p (0.000). Conclusion: The Team-STEPPS-based preceptorship guidance model is very important in increasing student competency, not only in mastering clinical competence, but also in mastering technical skill competencies, nursing management, self-management, and patient-oriented care skills, and therefore, can increase student independence.
