Several researchers have described a training for mentorship programs; however, few studies have examined the effects of mentor training on mentor knowledge of communication strategies taught in the training. This investigation developed and tested a distance peer mentor training for military spouses with children with autism. Results indicated prospective military spouse mentors scored significantly higher on training assessments than those in the comparison group, demonstrating they acquired knowledge and skills from the online training. Further, military spouse mentors in the training group felt the training was useful and helped prepare them to mentor other military spouses. This pilot investigation demonstrated a brief, online peer mentor training may be used to train peer mentors.
几位研究人员描述了针对导师制计划的培训；然而，很少有研究探讨导师培训对培训中所教授的沟通策略的导师知识的影响。本研究为有自闭症儿童的军人配偶开发并测试了一种远程朋辈导师培训。结果表明，有前景的军人配偶导师在培训评估中的得分显著高于对照组，表明他们从在线培训中获得了知识和技能。此外，培训组中的军人配偶导师认为培训很有用，并帮助他们为指导其他军人配偶做好了准备。这项初步调查表明，简短的在线朋辈导师培训可以用于培训朋辈导师。
