Abstract

Background

Mentorship is a mutually beneficial voluntary relationship between mentor and mentee. In principle, the mentee trusts in the mentor for guiding career development and acquiring new knowledge and skills while the mentor finds giving back to the profession rewarding. Mentorship is beneficial at every career stage, but little is known about current programs and processes.

Objective

To review the literature about mentorship in allied health to inform programs and practices in occupational therapy. Scoping focused on barriers, facilitators and reported outcomes of programs and attributes of mentors and mentees.

Data Sources

A search was applied to six databases on 8 February 2022 in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Scopus, PUBMED and CINAHL Complete. Search terms were developed in consultation with an academic librarian and using the population, concept and context mnemonic.

Methods

We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. Data extraction forms were piloted with two reviewers and dual extraction occurred with a portion of papers. Where conflicts arose, discussion occurred until a consensus was reached.

Findings

Sixty-two papers were included from eleven countries. The papers arose from ten allied health disciplines, with five in occupational therapy. One-on-one mentoring was most common followed by groups and the use of online platforms. Structured approaches were often used, with the support of professional associations. Trust and willingness to share expertise were required attributes of mentors. Mentees appreciate self-selecting their mentor and having protected time for mentorship.

Conclusion and Significance

This synthesis provides a description of the available literature on mentorship in allied health. Benefits of mentorship were recorded with the acquisition of skills and knowledge being the most prominent. This synthesis provides ideas for future development and refinement of mentorship in occupational therapy.

对联合医疗中的导师制进行范围审查：属性、计划和结果。

背景：导师制是导师与被指导者之间的一种互利自愿关系。原则上，被指导者相信指导者会指导其职业发展并获取新的知识和技能，而指导者则认为回馈职业是一种回报。导师制对每个职业阶段都有益处，但人们对目前的计划和程序知之甚少：目的：回顾有关专职医疗中导师制的文献，为职业治疗中的计划和实践提供参考。范围界定侧重于项目的障碍、促进因素和报告结果，以及指导者和被指导者的属性：2022 年 2 月 8 日，在 Ovid MEDLINE、Ovid Embase、Scopus、PUBMED 和 CINAHL Complete 中对六个数据库进行了检索。检索词是与一位学术图书馆员协商后使用人群、概念和背景记忆法制定的：我们使用了《系统综述和 Meta 分析首选报告项目》（Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews，PRISMA-ScR）和《JBI 证据综合手册》（JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis）。数据提取表由两名审稿人试用，部分论文采用了双重提取。如果出现冲突，则进行讨论直至达成共识：共收录了来自 11 个国家的 62 篇论文。这些论文来自 10 个专职医疗学科，其中 5 篇涉及职业疗法。一对一指导最为常见，其次是小组指导和使用在线平台。在专业协会的支持下，经常使用结构化方法。导师必须具备信任和愿意分享专业知识的特质。被指导者对自主选择指导者和有保障的指导时间表示赞赏：本综述介绍了有关专职医疗导师制的现有文献。记录了导师制的好处，其中最突出的是获得技能和知识。本综述为职业疗法中导师制的未来发展和完善提供了思路。

期刊介绍： The Australian Occupational Therapy Journal is a leading international peer reviewed publication presenting influential, high quality innovative scholarship and research relevant to occupational therapy. The aim of the journal is to be a leader in the dissemination of scholarship and evidence to substantiate, influence and shape policy and occupational therapy practice locally and globally. The journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical papers, and reviews. Preference will be given to manuscripts that have a sound theoretical basis, methodological rigour with sufficient scope and scale to make important new contributions to the occupational therapy body of knowledge. AOTJ does not publish protocols for any study design The journal will consider multidisciplinary or interprofessional studies that include occupational therapy, occupational therapists or occupational therapy students, so long as ‘key points’ highlight the specific implications for occupational therapy, occupational therapists and/or occupational therapy students and/or consumers.
