“…Mentoring socializes the nurses to nursing, and the mentor acts as a role model and a source of inspiration to bridge theory and practice. Mentors provide emotional and psychological support for mentees in a critical care setting [ 31 , 32 ]. The model was implemented in three months in ICUs by the registered nurses caring for critically ill patients.…”

Objectives This article aimed to describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of the model’s effectiveness to facilitate self-care of professional nurses caring for critically ill patients in ICUs. Methods The methods of Chinn and Kramer, Walker and Avant were utilized to generate this model. The study included four steps to develop, implement and evaluate the model: Step 1 - concept analysis; Step 2 - placing the concept in relationship statements; Step 3 - description and evaluation of the model; and Step 4 - implementation and evaluation of the model. The implementation and evaluation of the model included two phases: a one-day workshop to present the model, and three months of model implementation. The study was conducted in a specific tertiary hospital in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Twenty-five participants were identified amongst the five ICUs, and only eight participants accepted the invitation. Out of the eight participants, only six professional nurses working in different ICUs in the public sector were interviewed. Results The model was divided into three stages: relationship, working, and termination; it comprised the primary and secondary contexts in which the facilitation of self-care occurs. The model process occurred in a spiral form. The registered nurses benefitted holistically from the three presenters at the workshop, and the social worker contributed to their emotional self-care activities. Three themes emerged: The model brought positive experiences, change, and self-awareness; the model benefitted the registered nurses holistically; role modeling self-care practices motivated and benefitted others. Conclusion The model implementation assisted the registered nurses’ in developing self-awareness and resilience. They gained more knowledge regarding self-care, and the model encouraged them to implement improved self-care practices. They became role models of self-care and motivated their friends and families.

“…A systemic and planned approach to mentoring ensures the successful achievement of program objectives and the fulfilment of the needs of the mentees. 3 Examples of more formalized mentorship programmes are that of critical care nurses, which required the mentors to be supported, and be familiar with the prescribed learning objectives and core competencies required. 31 , 33 A list of recommended discussion topics between mentors and mentees may be useful and more than one mentor may be able to provide all the different aspects required.…”

Background The Quality of Care Collaborative Australia (QuoCCA) builds capability in the generalist and specialist paediatric palliative care (PPC) workforce throughout Australia. It supports regional and community services to provide care close to families’ homes, as well as building expertise in tertiary centers. Objective Medical Fellows and Nurse Practitioner candidates (specialist trainees) were funded by QuoCCA at four tertiary hospitals throughout Australia supported by an education and mentoring framework. This study explored the activity and experiences of clinicians who had occupied these roles to evaluate their effectiveness to build PPC capability. Methods Online surveys recorded the monthly activity of Medical Fellows, with a point in time check of knowledge, skills and confidence in 2019. Discovery Interview methodology was used to collect detailed experiences of 11 trainees employed between 2018 to 2022 in Queensland. Results A combination of mentoring and formal and informal education, peer support and practical experience was valuable for trainees. They found the support of the whole interdisciplinary team advantageous to learning. Shadowing experienced team members gave them the opportunity to learn practical skills, especially regarding communication with families. Practicing clinical skills was beneficial, through being on call, attending home visits, supporting families, prescribing medications and developing treatment plans in collaboration with the team. The trainee experience was optimised through learning from families, personal reflection, involvement in research projects and delivering QuoCCA education. Conclusion The QuoCCA trainee roles for Medical Fellows and Nurse Practitioner candidates exhibit a valuable and effective education and mentorship framework that could be applied to other specialties. The service leadership and collaborative interdisciplinary team support various modes of education and mentoring. The roles not only develop the trainees’ specialised PPC clinical skills, they also improve their general clinical practice, including communication, empathy and holistic care. A structured curriculum of education is recommended to protect these positive outcomes.
