Background:
Peer mentoring is a recommended intervention to enhance students' emotional and academic success. Effective understanding of peer-to-peer mentoring by faculty is necessary to promote student success.
Purpose:
The purpose of this integrative review is to summarize and synthesize the literature regarding prelicensure peer mentoring relationships and methods in nursing education.
Methods:
Using Whittemore and Knafl's framework, electronic databases were searched, following PRISMA guidelines, using the terms: nursing student mentoring, peer mentors, peer-assisted learning, student-assisted learning, and clinical peer mentoring. A total of 12 studies were included in the review. Lichtman's three C's of analysis were used to analyze the selected studies.
Results:
The themes of priorities, outcomes, and challenges within peer mentoring relationships emerged from the literature.
Conclusion:
The evidence in this review can inform best practices for pre-licensure nursing students using peer mentoring. Further research is needed to explore the effect of peer mentoring compared to non-peer mentoring on nursing students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
