This paper presents the initial research results of mentorship in Flanders, Belgium. A validated questionnaire has been used as well as a semi-structured interview, to investigate perceived characteristics, advantages and drawbacks of mentorship, as well as practical aspects in mentoring education. The questionnaire has been validated for the Dutch language. The response rate of 62% has been rather high. The ability to give feedback, experience, availability of time and a positive attitude were the elements considered important for mentors. In spite of workload, lack of time and drawbacks such as adverse effects on the team work on the ward, transferring of enthusiasm onto students was still possible. Benefits for mentors were immaterial and included closer follow-up of new developments, teaching and sharing of experiences. The benefits outweighed the drawbacks. Support by mentoring courses, additional study and especially of link lecturers proved to be beneficial. Especially the help of link lecturers proved to be necessary in problems and in evaluation of "unsafe" students. In the latter case, the link lecturer helps to solve the inherent conflict of interest by being mentor and assessor at the same time.
本文介绍了比利时佛兰德斯地区导师制的初步研究成果。采用了经过验证的问卷和半结构化访谈，调查了导师制的感知特征、优势和劣势，以及导师制教育的实际方面。该问卷已针对荷兰语进行了验证。62%的回应率相当高。能够提供反馈、经验、时间可用性和积极的态度是被认为对导师很重要的因素。尽管工作量大、时间不足以及对病房团队工作的不利影响等缺点，但是仍然有可能将热情传递给学生。导师的收益是无形的，包括更密切地关注新的发展、教学和经验分享。收益大于缺点。导师制课程、额外学习的支持，特别是联络讲师的支持被证明是有益的。特别是在遇到问题和评估“不安全”学生时，联络讲师的帮助是必要的。在后一种情况下，联络讲师通过同时担任导师和评估者来帮助解决固有的利益冲突。
