Summary OBJECTIVES: To describe a successful mentoring scheme designed for mid-career clinician scientists and to examine factors associated with mentee report of positive career impact.
Mixed methods study including in-depth interviews and cross-sectional data collection via an online survey.
Academy of Medical Sciences mentoring scheme set up in 2002 and evaluated in 2010.
One hundred and forty-seven of 227 mentees took part in the study (response rate of 65%). Ten mentees, three mentors and eight stakeholders/scheme staff were selected to participate in in-depth interviews.
Qualitative data: Interviews were transcribed, and free text was analysed to identify themes and subthemes in the narrative. Quantitative data: We examined the associations of reported positive career impact of mentoring by performing simple and multiple logistic regression analysis.
Mentoring success was determined by a variety of factors including reasons for selection (e.g. presence of a personal recommendation), mentee characteristics (e.g. younger age), experience and skills of the mentor (e.g. 'mentor helped me to find my own solutions') and the quality of the relationship (e.g. 'my mentor and I set out clear expectations early on').
Our evaluation demonstrates that both mentor and mentee value mentoring and that careful planning of a scheme including preparation, training and ongoing support of both mentor and mentee addressing expectations, building rapport and logistics are likely to be helpful in ensuring success and benefit from the intervention.
摘要 目的:描述一项为处于职业生涯中期的临床医生科学家设计的成功指导计划,并研究与学员报告的积极职业影响相关的因素。
混合方法研究,包括深入访谈和通过在线调查收集横断面数据。
医学科学院于2002年设立并于2010年进行评估的指导计划。
227名学员中有147名参与了该研究(回复率为65%)。挑选了10名学员、3名导师和8名利益相关者/计划工作人员参与深入访谈。
定性数据:对访谈进行转录,并对自由文本进行分析,以确定叙述中的主题和子主题。定量数据:通过进行简单和多元逻辑回归分析,研究指导报告的积极职业影响的相关性。
指导的成功取决于多种因素,包括选择原因(例如有个人推荐)、学员特征(例如年龄较小)、导师的经验和技能(例如“导师帮助我找到自己的解决方案”)以及关系质量(例如“我和我的导师很早就明确了期望”)。
我们的评估表明,导师和学员都重视指导,并且对计划进行精心规划,包括对导师和学员在期望、建立融洽关系和后勤方面的准备、培训及持续支持,可能有助于确保成功并从干预中受益。
