Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze student and clinical tutor perceptions of a specific peer teaching model.
- To evaluate the effectiveness and challenges of the "guide" role in nursing apprenticeship.
Main Methods:
- Observational study design.
- Sample included 40 third-year students, 150 first-year students, and 40 clinical tutors.
- Data collected via questionnaires during academic years 2002/03 and 2003/04.
Main Results:
