ABSTRACT

Purpose : This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of inter senior-junior mentoring and the mentor education program on KAFNA Cadets' ability towards adjustment, stress, relationship and empathy. Methods : In this study, nonequivalent control group pre-post test design was used as a research method. A total of 125 cadets(senior 64/junior 61) were divided into 3 groups: an experimental group which was mentored through the education program, a comparison group that mentored themselves, and control group. Self reported survey data was collected at a baseline(pre-test) and following the program(post-test). Results : Mentoring was effective in increasing mentor’s adjustment, but not the mentee’s. The mentor education program was effective in increasing the satisfaction of mentoring and mentor’s adjustment and empathy abilities. However, there were no significant differences in dependent variables among the groups. Conclusion : The mentor education program positively influenced inter senior-junior mentoring satisfaction and mentors. In this respect, this program can contribute in enhancing a cadet’s ability to effectively mentor and nurse competency such as empathy.
