In this study, it was planned to examine the impact of the peer mentoring program applied on the perceived stress and self -confidence in order to ensure that the first year students of the nursing students adapt to the university life and the profession and to gain the necessary skills to survive in this process. Study has been planned as a type of randomized controlled intervention type with pre -test and monitoring patterns, one of the quantitative research methods. 40 mentees (experiment = 20; control = 20) and 20 mentors were included in the study.12 -week mentoring program was applied to the mentees by the mentors. In the collection of research data, "Personal Information Form", "General Self -Qualification Scale", "Self -Confidence Scale" and "Perceived Stress Scale" were used. The measurements were taken 3 times:pre test, post-test and 3-months post-test.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Study has been planned as a type of randomized controlled intervention type with pre -test and monitoring patterns, one of the quantitative research methods. 40 mentees/first year students (experimental = 20; control = 20) and 20 mentors/fourth year students were included in the study. Simple random randomization was used in the appointment of the students in the sample group to experimental and control groups. Mentors were randomly matched with the mentees assigned to the experimental group.12 -week mentoring program was applied to the mentees by the mentors. In the collection of research data, "Personal Information Form", "General Self -Qualification Scale", "Self -Confidence Scale" and "Perceived Stress Scale" were used. The measurements were taken 3 times:pre test, post-test and 3-months post-test.

Participants Outcome Assessors
In this study, the analysis of the data was conducted by an independent statistician who does not know the intervention and control group appointment. In addition, students were not explained in which group they were in and they were blinded.Simple random randomization was used in the appointment of the students in the sample group to experimental and control groups.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental

Experimental: First-year nursing students (mentees) undergoing a mentoring program 20 mentees were included in the experimental group.The mentoring program focuses on developing students' life skills. The mentoring program continued for 12 weeks. In the mentoring program, it was expected that the mentors would make individual meeting(s) with the mentee they were matched with, face to face, online or over the phone, and share information and support every week. The frequency and duration of individual interviews were determined by the needs of the mentee.
