Summary

Children are a particularly vulnerable population to medication mistakes, and it is critical to improve the self-efficacy, clinical comfort, and worry levels of student nurses who will care with them. As a result, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of postgraduate nursing students' and clinical nurses' mentoring practice on pediatric nursing students' self-efficacy in pediatric medication administration, clinical comfort, and worry levels. The nurse mentoring group finished the study with 70 students, while the peer mentoring group (postgraduate nursing students) completed the study with 73 students, for a total of 143 students. For data collection, the "Participant Information Form," the "Medication Administration Self-Efficacy Scale in Children for Nursing Students," and the "Pediatric Nursing Students Clinical Comfort and Worry Tool" were utilized. The data is still being analyzed.

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Peer mentoring	Mentoring is a support network in which a more talented or experienced individual serves as a role model for a less talented individual in order to encourage professional and personal growth. Mentoring improves students' learning, abilities, and self-efficacy while decreasing stress and anxiety in nursing students through more effective communication, collaborative learning, and critical thinking. After understanding about the study, two master's degree students from Karabük University Institute of Graduate Studies of Child Health and Diseases Nursing consented to participate on a volunteer basis and became peer mentors in the study. All postgraduate students are pediatric nurses with at least two years of clinical experience who have completed their undergraduate nursing program.

Mentoring improves students' learning, abilities, and self-efficacy while decreasing stress and anxiety in nursing students through more effective communication, collaborative learning, and critical thinking. After providing information about the research to bachelor's degree nurses who have worked in the Children's Units of Karabuk Training and Research Hospital for at least two years, two mentors for the nurse mentoring group were chosen on a volunteer basis. Mentors were taught on the concept of mentoring, the roles of the mentor, interpersonal relationships, and communication skills prior to the study.
