Mentoring can be viewed as a set of behaviors applied toward a relationship that provides guidance and support in career development. This article reviews some of the current literature on mentoring and presents concepts that may benefit persons in the profession of dietetics. The process of mentoring provides mentors with career and psychosocial rewards, while protégés benefit from a wide variety of career and/or social opportunities made available through the relationship. Rewards for each member of the dyad appear dependent on the age and needs of each person. An alternative to mentoring, known as the patron system, has been proposed; that system places mentoring at the end point of a continuum which includes peer pals, guides, and sponsors. Networking, a crucial aspect of career development, broadens opportunities for prospective mentors or sponsors and protégés to meet and interact. Entry-level dietitians can benefit from mentor-protégé relationships which groom young professionals for leadership positions. The question to be answered is how such relationships can be supported in our various work settings. A model of the mentoring process in dietetics is proposed.
指导可以被视为一套应用于某种关系的行为，这种关系在职业发展中提供指导和支持。本文回顾了一些当前关于指导的文献，并介绍了一些可能使营养学专业人士受益的概念。指导过程为指导者带来职业和心理社会方面的回报，而被指导者则从通过这种关系获得的各种职业和/或社会机会中受益。二元组中每个成员的回报似乎取决于每个人的年龄和需求。有人提出了一种替代指导的方式，即赞助系统；该系统将指导置于一个连续统一体的终点，这个连续统一体包括同龄伙伴、向导和赞助人。人际关系网络是职业发展的一个关键方面，它拓宽了潜在指导者或赞助人与被指导者见面和互动的机会。初级营养师可以从指导者 - 被指导者关系中受益，这种关系培养年轻专业人员担任领导职务。需要回答的问题是，在我们的各种工作环境中如何支持这种关系。本文提出了一个营养学指导过程的模型。
