Abstract

Aim: This study explores the experiences of mentors and mentees participating in a mentor program for nurses in leadership positions, aiming to identify areas for program improvement.

Design and methods: A qualitative approach was used, with semi-structured interviews conducted with 20 nurses in leadership roles. The participants, 10 mentees and 10 mentors, were involved in the Norwegian Nurses Organization's "Mentor Program for Nurses as Leaders". Thematic analysis was applied to the data.

Results: Participants in the mentorship program reported increased leadership awareness, stronger motivation, better stress-coping mechanisms, and greater confidence as leaders. They received valuable feedback and support from their mentors, boosting their motivation to pursue leadership roles. Both mentees and mentors expressed a desire for a longer program and emphasized the importance of networking opportunities, along with the need for predictability and long-term planning to improve program effectiveness.

Conclusion: Participants reported that the mentorship program increased their awareness, motivation, coping skills, and confidence as leaders, encouraging them to pursue leadership roles. The results show that the NNO's mentor program positively influences leadership aspirations of new nurse leaders, with potential for further development in networking and program duration.

期刊介绍: Efficient and successful modern healthcare depends on a growing group of professionals working together as an interdisciplinary team. However, many forces shape the delivery of healthcare; changes are being driven by the markets, transformations in concepts of health and wellbeing, technology and research and discovery. Dynamic leadership will guide these necessary transformations. The Journal of Healthcare Leadership is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on leadership for the healthcare professions. The publication strives to amalgamate current and future healthcare professionals and managers by providing key insights into leadership progress and challenges to improve patient care. The journal aspires to inform key decision makers and those professionals with ambitions of leadership and management; it seeks to connect professionals who are engaged in similar endeavours and to provide wisdom from those working in other industries. Senior and trainee doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, medical students, healthcare managers and allied leaders are invited to contribute to this publication
