To explore the experiences of mentoring higher-grade trainees amongst senior orthodontic trainers at Bristol Dental School.
Qualitative study using interpretive methodology.
University of Bristol Dental School.
Six consultant orthodontists, five of whom also have district general hospital experience.
One-to-one semi-structured interviews were undertaken on a purposeful sample of orthodontic trainers. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and Thematic Analysis was used to analyse the data.
Four main themes emerged from the data were. They were: How to Mentor; Mentor-Mentee Pairings; Resources and Success; and Pitfalls of Mentoring.
The present study revealed that senior trainers have a good understanding of the qualities of a mentor and appreciate the roles which mentors need to perform. They are altruistic in their motives, but would benefit from more time, organisational support and training to help them perform their duties better.

采用解释性方法的定性研究。
布里斯托尔大学牙科学院。
六位正畸顾问医师，其中五位还具有地区综合医院工作经验。
对正畸培训师进行有目的抽样的一对一半结构化访谈。访谈进行录音，逐字转录，并采用主题分析法分析数据。
数据中出现了四个主要主题。它们是：如何指导；师徒配对；资源与成功；以及指导的陷阱。
本研究表明，资深培训师对指导者的素质有很好的理解，并认识到指导者需要履行的职责。他们动机无私，但需要更多时间、组织支持和培训，以帮助他们更好地履行职责。
