This study aimed to determine whether the mentor preparation course introduced in 2006 by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and based on NMC mentor standards is meeting the needs of mentors to support preregistration students in practice. A cross-sectional survey was carried out, involving 346 mentors who successfully completed the new course. A self-administered postal questionnaire was used to collect data between December 2010 and February 2011, with a response rate of 57.5%. Overall, respondents felt adequately prepared for their role as mentors and were more confident in their ability to support preregistration students in practice. However, a significant number of respondents received little protected time away from clinical duties to complete the theoretical and practical components of the course and many indicated the need for more input on the practice assessment document used for assessing preregistration nursing and midwifery students.
本研究旨在确定护理与助产士理事会（NMC）于2006年推出的、基于NMC导师标准的导师培训课程是否满足导师在实践中支持预注册学生的需求。开展了一项横断面调查，涉及346名成功完成新课程的导师。在2010年12月至2011年2月期间，通过自填式邮寄问卷收集数据，回复率为57.5%。总体而言，受访者认为自己为担任导师的角色做好了充分准备，并且对自己在实践中支持预注册学生的能力更有信心。然而，相当多的受访者几乎没有从临床工作中抽出受保护的时间来完成课程的理论和实践部分，许多人表示需要在用于评估预注册护理和助产学生的实践评估文件方面获得更多投入。
