Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Few structured mentoring programs target early-stage investigators in Africa, creating a gap in mentorship skills where HIV burden is greatest. We describe findings from a Nigeria-based workshop for early-career physician scientists to build mentoring and leadership capacity in HIV and noncommunicable disease research.

METHODS

Baseline surveys captured participant demographics, confidence in implementing mentoring competencies, and perceived importance of workshop training domains. The workshop included didactic presentations, small group activities, and interactive discussions. Daily surveys evaluated sessions, and postworkshop surveys solicited overall course impressions.

RESULTS

Of the 33 participants, most were male (n = 21, 63.6%) and from medicine, laboratory sciences, and surgical specialties. "Building mentees' confidence" and "setting mentees' research goals" were ranked as areas where participants most believed they needed training. Sessions were rated favorably across five areas. Greatest improvements in mean scores were for confidence in identifying personal temperament styles, describing mentoring and leadership theories/frameworks, and developing mentoring plans. Additional identified workshop strengths were content relevance, leadership case series, interactive nature, and collegial atmosphere. All respondents indicated learning something new/useful/helpful in each session. At 6-month postworkshop, most respondents (25 of 26, 96%) had replicated or plan to replicate parts of the workshop in their departments/institutions.

DISCUSSION

Effective mentoring training initiatives targeting future academic leaders have the potential to create skilled academicians who can impart mentoring skills and competencies to their mentees.

摘要

简介

在非洲，针对早期研究人员的结构化导师计划寥寥无几，这导致导师技能方面出现了一个缺口，而当地的艾滋病毒负担最重。我们描述了一项在尼日利亚举办的针对早期职业医师科学家的研讨会的结果，该研讨会旨在培养艾滋病毒和非传染性疾病研究方面的指导和领导能力。

方法

基线调查收集了参与者的人口统计学资料、实施指导能力的信心以及对研讨会培训领域的重要性的看法。研讨会包括专题演讲、小组活动和互动讨论。每日调查评估了各环节，研讨会结束后进行了问卷调查，以征求对整个课程的印象。

结果

在 33 名参与者中，大多数是男性（n = 21，63.6%），来自医学、实验室科学和外科专业。“增强学员的信心”和“为学员设定研究目标”被认为是参与者最需要培训的领域。五个方面的课程评价都很高。在确定个人气质类型、描述指导和领导理论/框架以及制定指导计划方面，参与者的信心得分提高幅度最大。研讨会的其他优势包括内容相关性、领导力案例系列、互动性质和友好氛围。所有受访者都表示在每个环节中都学到了新的/有用的/有帮助的东西。在研讨会结束后的 6 个月，大多数受访者（26 人中有 25 人，96%）表示已经或计划在部门/机构中复制研讨会的部分内容。
