Multiyear Implementation and Qualitative Evaluation of a Peer Mentoring Circle Program
Background:
Students from disadvantaged backgrounds often experience intensified challenges, including life stressors, social isolation, discomfort relating to the dominant culture on campus, and under-preparation if coming from low-resource high schools and neighborhoods. Multiyear implementation and outcomes of an ongoing peer mentoring circle (PMC) program for undergraduate nursing students from disadvantaged and underrepresented minority backgrounds are described.
Method:
This study examined a 5-year longitudinal descriptive evaluation of ongoing PMC programming using thematic analysis.
Results:
Four major themes were identified from student qualitative evaluation data: (a) connection and friendship; (b) adjustment and transition; (c) academic support; and (d) leadership skills. Challenges encountered during pandemic changes and adaptations also are discussed.
Conclusion:
PMCs help diverse students adapt to college life, learn about courses, meet new people, and provide a sense of community. More research is needed to maximize the positive effects of peer mentoring.
