Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Student Support Services

Background:

  • Student buddying schemes offer valuable support to university students.
  • Peer support programs are increasingly implemented in higher education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a peer buddying scheme pairing first-year child nursing students with second-year students.
  • To evaluate the initial impact and student perception of this nursing student support program.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a buddying scheme for first-year pre-registration child nursing students paired with second-year students.
  • Monitoring of student engagement with the peer support system.
  • Initial evaluation of student feedback on the scheme's helpfulness.

Main Results:

  • A minority of first-year students actively maintained contact with their assigned peer buddies.
  • Initial evaluations suggest students perceived the scheme as beneficial.
  • Students expressed a desire for the continuation of the buddying program for future first-year cohorts.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented buddying scheme was perceived as helpful by participating first-year child nursing students.
  • Further investigation is needed to determine the scheme's impact on student attrition rates.
  • Recommendations support the continuation of this peer support initiative for nursing students.
