Group mentoring has been endorsed as an effective method of supporting novice professionals across disciplines. In one university, faculty revised the undergraduate nursing curriculum to include a group mentoring course as a requirement of students during the four semesters they are enrolled in the nursing program.
The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of undergraduate nursing students participating in a group mentoring course.
This study used a hermeneutic interpretive phenomenological method.
Data were collected from 22 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in group mentoring courses at a private Midwestern university in the United States.
At the end of each semester of mentoring, students provided written responses to five open-ended questions about their experiences of participating in the mentoring courses.
Four themes emerged: conversation, communication, connection, and cohesion.
Group mentoring was an effective way to support nursing students as they transitioned from undergraduate student to novice professional nurse.
小组指导已被认可为支持跨学科新手专业人员的有效方法。在一所大学，教师修改了本科护理课程，将小组指导课程作为学生在护理项目注册的四个学期中的要求。
本研究旨在探讨参与小组指导课程的本科护理学生的生活体验。
本研究采用了阐释性解释现象学方法。
数据来自美国中西部一所私立大学参加小组指导课程的 22 名本科护理学生。
在每个指导学期结束时，学生对五个关于他们参与指导课程的经历的开放式问题提供书面回答。
出现了四个主题：对话、沟通、联系和凝聚力。
小组指导是一种有效的方法，可以支持护理学生从本科学生过渡到新手专业护士。
