Abstract
Background
Peer mentoring is a recommended intervention to enhance students' emotional and academic success. Effective understanding of peer-to-peer mentoring by faculty is necessary to promote student success.
Purpose
The purpose of this integrative review is to summarize and synthesize the literature regarding prelicensure peer mentoring relationships and methods in nursing education.
Methods
Using Whittemore and Knafl's framework, electronic databases were searched, following PRISMA guidelines, using the terms: nursing student mentoring, peer mentors, peer-assisted learning, student-assisted learning, and clinical peer mentoring. A total of 12 studies were included in the review. Lichtman's three C's of analysis were used to analyze the selected studies.
Results
The themes of priorities, outcomes, and challenges within peer mentoring relationships emerged from the literature.
Conclusion
The evidence in this review can inform best practices for pre-licensure nursing students using peer mentoring. Further research is needed to explore the effect of peer mentoring compared to non-peer mentoring on nursing students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
