In this study, it was planned to examine the impact of the peer mentoring program applied on the perceived stress and self -confidence in order to ensure that the first year students of the nursing students adapt to the university life and the profession and to gain the necessary skills to survive in this process. Study has been planned as a type of randomized controlled intervention type with pre -test and monitoring patterns, one of the quantitative research methods. 40 mentees (experiment = 20; control = 20) and 20 mentors were included in the study.12 -week mentoring program was applied to the mentees by the mentors. In the collection of research data, "Personal Information Form", "General Self -Qualification Scale", "Self -Confidence Scale" and "Perceived Stress Scale" were used. The measurements were taken 3 times:pre test, post-test and 3-months post-test.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Peer Mentoring ProgramBehavioural
Mentoring program created in academic, social, emotional and safety dimensions.In the academic dimension, there is information about the instructors, course selection, preparing a course study program,efficient study methods,information about the education and training program. Social dimension includes interpersonal relations, participation in social life, free time activities, making friends.The emotional dimension includes developing self-confidence,coping with stress,belonging and motivation.In the security dimension, there are student rights,scholarship opportunities, accommodation opportunities, library and internet facilities, use of the health center and clinical practice. In the mentoring program, it was expected that the mentors would make individual meeting(s) with the mentee they were matched with, face to face, online or over the phone, and share information and support every week. The mentoring program continued for 12 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental | Experimental | Experimental: First-year nursing students (mentees) undergoing a mentoring program 20 mentees were included in the experimental group.The mentoring program focuses on developing students' life skills. The mentoring program continued for 12 weeks. In the mentoring program, it was expected that the mentors would make individual meeting(s) with the mentee they were matched with, face to face, online or over the phone, and share information and support every week. The frequency and duration of individual interviews were determined by the needs of the mentee. Receives: Behavioral: Peer Mentoring Program |
| Control | No intervention | No Intervention: Control group 20 mentees were included in the control group. After the follow-up test was applied to the students in the experimental group, a three-week mentoring program was applied to the control group. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE)
The scale aims to determine the general self-efficacy level of individuals. The scale has 10 items and one dimension, and has a 4-point Likert (1=completely false- 4=completely true=) structure. The score obtained from the scale is between 10-40. A high score means high general self-efficacy.
Measured: Change from baseline to 12 weeks (also assessed at 24 weeks post-baseline)
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
The scale, which consists of a total of 14 items, was designed to measure how stressful some situations in the life of the individual are perceived. The scale is 5-point Likert type. A score between 0 and 56 is taken from the scale. A high score indicates an excess of one's perception of stress.
Measured: Change from baseline to 12 weeks (also assessed at 24 weeks post-baseline)
Self-Confidence Scale (SCS)
The scale consists of 33 items and 2 subscale. The scale is arranged in a 5-point Likert style and the maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is 165. A high score from the scale without reverse coded items indicates a high level of self-confidence.
Measured: Change from baseline to 12 weeks (also assessed at 24 weeks post-baseline)
