Official title

The Effect of a Peer Mentoring Program on Nursing Students' Perceived Empathic Self-Efficacy, Social Self-Efficacy, and Youth Leadership Characteristics: A Pretest-Posttest Quasi-Experimental Study

Overview

This project is designed as a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effect of the Peer Leadership Program, established in the Nursing Department, on nursing peer mentor students' empathic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, and youth leadership characteristics.

Detailed description

The study population comprises second, third and fourth-year students enrolled at Süleyman Demirel University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, during the 2024-2025 academic year. Peer mentor students, selected on the basis of volunteerism, will be randomly assigned mentors by an independent researcher to ensure randomness. The study will be conducted over a period of six weeks. During this period, the peer mentors will undergo training in communication techniques, interview methods, empathic approach, social motivation and leader-member interaction, with the subsequent sharing of postcasts. Furthermore, a presentation and evaluation meeting will be held between the peer mentors and their mentees, with the aim of fostering empathy and understanding between the two groups. The meeting will be based on the theme of 'nursing and society'. In order to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, the peer mentors' empathic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy and youth leadership characteristics will be evaluated before and after the meeting. Additionally, the socio-demographic data of the students will be recorded in a data collection form.
