OBJECTIVE
To assess the impact of a graduate student mentoring program on student interest in research and postgraduate education and on graduate student confidence in mentoring.
METHODS
Undergraduate and pharmacy students (mentees) and graduate students (mentors) were matched and participated in the study, which required them to engage in at least 2 discussions regarding research and careers. Mentees completed a pre- and post-assessment of their perceptions of research, postgraduate training plans, and perceptions about mentors. Mentors completed a pre- and post-assessment of their perceptions about themselves as mentors and their confidence in mentoring.
RESULTS
Although there were no significant differences among the mentees' perceptions of research or the mentors' confidence in mentoring, qualitative analysis indicated that the mentees' perceptions of research improved and that the mentors believed their mentoring skills improved.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of the qualitative analysis, implementing a graduate student mentoring program may help improve students' perceptions of research and graduate students' confidence in mentoring, which could increase student interest in postgraduate education and prepare mentors for future leadership roles.
目的
评估研究生导师计划对学生对研究和研究生教育的兴趣以及对研究生指导能力的信心的影响。
方法
将本科生和药学专业学生（被指导者）与研究生（指导者）进行匹配，并参与这项研究，要求他们至少进行 2 次关于研究和职业的讨论。被指导者在研究、研究生培训计划以及对导师的看法方面完成了预先和事后评估。指导者在指导自我认知和指导信心方面完成了预先和事后评估。
结果
尽管被指导者对研究的看法或指导者对指导的信心没有显著差异，但定性分析表明，被指导者对研究的看法有所改善，而且指导者认为他们的指导技能有所提高。
结论
基于定性分析的结果，实施研究生导师计划可能有助于提高学生对研究的看法和研究生对指导的信心，这可能会增加学生对研究生教育的兴趣，并为导师未来的领导角色做好准备。
