Mentoring programs are effective in improving some characteristics related to university adaptation, such as increasing student satisfaction, gaining social skills and effective communication, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving cognitive and psychomotor skills as well as academic performance.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mentoring program on adjustment to university and ways of coping with stress in nursing students.
This quasi-experimental study was carried out using a nonrandomized control group pretest and posttest design.
The study was conducted at a university school of nursing in Turkey.
Ninety-one first-year undergraduate nursing students were included in the study.
The 8-week peer mentoring program was conducted with the experimental group. The Adjustment to University Scale (AUS) and The Ways of Coping Inventory (WCI) were measured at preintervention and postintervention.
The posttest mean scores of AUS of the experimental group were statistically higher than the control group (p < .05). The posttest mean scores of optimistic and seeking social support approaches of the experimental group were also statistically higher than the control group (p < .05). Mentoring program had an effect on self-confident, optimistic, seeking social support, submissive, and helpless approaches in the experimental group (p < .05).
Mentoring program had a positive effect on adjustment to university and ways of coping with stress in nursing students. These study results indicate that this program can be used to increase the adjustment to university and ways of coping with stress in nursing students.
导师制在改善与大学生适应相关的某些特征方面非常有效，例如提高学生满意度、获得社交技能和有效沟通、减轻压力和焦虑、提高认知和心理运动技能以及学业成绩。
本研究旨在确定导师制对护理学生适应大学生活和应对压力方式的影响。
这是一项采用非随机对照群组前测后测设计的准实验研究。
该研究在土耳其一所大学护理学院进行。
91 名一年级本科护理学生被纳入研究。
实验组进行了为期 8 周的朋辈导师制。在干预前和干预后测量了大学生适应量表（AUS）和应对方式量表（WCI）。
实验组的 AUS 后测平均得分显著高于对照组（p<0.05）。实验组的乐观和寻求社会支持应对方式的后测平均得分也显著高于对照组（p<0.05）。导师制对实验组的自信、乐观、寻求社会支持、顺从和无助应对方式有影响（p<0.05）。
导师制对护理学生适应大学生活和应对压力的方式有积极影响。这些研究结果表明，该方案可用于提高护理学生的大学生活适应能力和应对压力的方式。
