Abstract

|
|
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to develop a mentoring program for stress management among Korean adolescents and to assess the effects of the program.
Methods: The nonequivalent control group (CG) pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The mentoring intervention was delivered to 18 middle school students (males and females) but nothing was done to the control group consisting of 18 students. The mentoring intervention was conducted by seven nursing students who participated in the program as mentors using various methods such as individual meetings and group activities. The dependent variable was stress level.
Results:The program consisted of group and individual mentoring. At follow-up, although the mentees’s satisfaction was high and they stated qualitatively positive experience, the difference of stress level between the two groups was not significant.
Conclusion: If future mentoring programs reflect the limitation of the current program, they may have potential as developmentally appropriate interventions for stress management of adolescents, and enable nursing students to gain confidence in their professional capability.
