Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a peer mentoring program on first- and third-year midwifery students at a university in Türkiye. Peer mentoring involves experienced students (mentors) providing guidance and support to new students (mentees). A total of 120 students were randomly assigned to either a mentoring group or a control group. The program lasted for 13 weeks and included face-to-face meetings between mentors and mentees. The study was designed to assess how peer mentoring may contribute to students' university adjustment, leadership development, and perceptions of the midwifery profession.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Starting university can be both exciting and overwhelming for students, particularly in health-related fields such as midwifery. Students often face challenges like adapting to academic demands, managing stress, and developing a professional identity. Peer mentoring is a supportive strategy in which more experienced students (mentors) help newcomers (mentees) by sharing their knowledge, experiences, and advice.

In this study, first- and third-year midwifery students at a university in Türkiye participated in a structured peer mentoring program. Third-year students were trained as mentors and paired with first-year mentees. Over the course of 13 weeks, mentors and mentees met regularly to discuss topics including academic concerns, campus life, and professional development.

The study was designed to examine the potential of peer mentoring as a support mechanism in midwifery education. The program aimed to help students adapt more effectively to university life, foster leadership skills among mentors, and support students' understanding and engagement with their future profession.
