Can a mentor program steady nursing students under pressure?
NCT ID NCT07806734
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured faculty mentorship program helps nursing internship students feel more capable and cope better with the stress of clinical rotations. Each intern gets a faculty mentor, meets with them at key points during each rotation, and takes part in reflective sessions on stress and decision-making. Researchers measure self-efficacy and coping at the start and after six months. The goal is to see if this support model can strengthen students' confidence and resilience during their internship year.
