description |
Studies on Western context have reported on the mentor skills needed such as the role of interpersonal
comfort in mentoring relationships as well as the role of age in mentoring relationships. There are limited
studies in exploring the effectiveness on the most relevant skills needed by mentors in assisting the new
nurses toward becoming an effective healthcare provider in the Malaysian public hospital context. The
mentors’ roles can be summarized into the general and specific role on the basis of the goal and the
purpose of the mentoring. Mentor roles can be very broad and almost include everything under the sky
of learning contract, therefore, the need to be more specific and clear direction in order to have clear
understanding between the mentor, mentee and the organization. Data were collected from four pairs of
mentors and mentees (eight informants) working in a public hospital in Sarawak, Malaysia, using openended questionnaires and analysed using content analysis. Findings revealed that the required skills of
the mentors to better assist new nurses at the workplace can be captured through the acronym S.K.I.L.L.S.
Hence, the nurses’ -management training and development programme related to S.K.I.L.L. acronym is
relevant to be conducted among the new nurses. This strategy suggested because too many and
unspecified roles may bring negative experiences for both mentor and mentee which may result in
dysfunctional mentoring |
