Abstract
Background: Mentorship effectively supports nurses in clinical practice, increasing mentees' clinical competence and confidence while reducing stress, thereby mitigating burnout.
Problem: Nursing mentorship programs primarily focus on graduate nurses. It is unknown whether extending mentorship to nursing students results in positive outcomes.
Approach: A multicomponent program was developed for undergraduate/graduate nursing students, graduate nurses, and included establishing a mentor-mentee pair, mentoring toolkit, and professional development lectures.
Outcomes: Mentor and mentee reports demonstrate program feasibility and acceptability. Both groups reported high satisfaction with their counterparts at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-implementation. Burnout decreased significantly (P < .01) in mentors and mentees from baseline at 6 and 12 months.
Conclusion: Establishment of multicomponent mentorship programs in nursing education and practice shows promise in leading to positive outcomes, including reduced burnout, for nursing students, graduate nurses.
