“…Workplace mentoring contributes to familiarization with work ethics and culture, 20 and relaxation of stress has been associated with psychological well-being and improved mental health. 21 All these findings are in line with our study results where the mentors are willing to be role models for a positive behavior change in mentees but also impart meaning at work. This cordial relationship can therefore add to personal and professional development as well as emotional well being of mentees as has been recognized in a national study 22 .…”

Objectives: To explore perception of mentors and mentees about ‘Mentorship Program at Aga Khan University Medical College (AKU-MC) from a structured feedback form Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for evaluation of mentorship program at AKU-MC during the period from Jan 2019 to March, 2021. Responses on validated “Pre-intervention Probe Forms”, from forty-seven mentors and fourteen mentees inducted in the program were reviewed. Confidentiality and anonymity of data were deliberated. All replies to each question were entered in a separate worksheet to determine the frequency and percentage of answers. Responses conveying same message, but worded differently were then grouped. Results: All the mentees (n=14) responded positively to the question on the “understanding of the mentoring program. The mentees (n=12, 86%) recognized the potential of the program to transfer knowledge and skills, (n=11, 79%) supported its role for achievement of goals, (n=7, 50%), acknowledged its role in faculty relationships. The mentors expressed their enthusiasm to help the mentee’s in their professional development. They (n=20, 43%) offered support to set career goals, (n=29, 62%) proposed transfer of knowledge, skills, and experiences to achieve goals, (n=15, 32%) decided to be “role models”. Some (n=10, 21%) forecasted improved communication skills, (n=14, 30%) boosted leadership capabilities, (n=13, 28%) expected improved work performance, (n=15, 32%) opinioned that networking and leadership qualities will impact the growth of the mentee to meet the university’s expectations. Conclusion: Both mentors and mentees recognized the importance of the faculty mentorship program at AKU-MC for professional guidance, development and improvement in work performance. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.6.5454 How to cite this:Rehman R, Khan F, Kayani N, Ali TS.

“…Additionally, one assumption is that a quality mentoring relationship precedes positive outcomes, yet benefits of mentoring programs may be derived through other processes (Cavell et al, 2021;Christensen et al, 2020;Rhodes, 2020). The fact that relationship quality with birth parents moderated the effect of FHF on quality of life and not the other outcomes (mental health, posttraumatic stress, and dissociation) raises questions about which aspects of the program affect quality of life.…”

Highlights• Children's early relational histories may affect the impact of mentoring programs.• Fostering Healthy Futures (FHF) improves mental health of children with varied relational histories.• FHF's impact on trauma symptoms was stronger for children with fewer caregiver changes pre-program.• FHF's impact on quality of life was stronger for children with fewer caregiver changes pre-program.• FHF's impact on quality of life was stronger for children with poorer birth parent relationships.

“…Yet, empirical studies of mentoring programs demonstrate that these programs are associated with small‐to‐moderate positive effects on a wide range of social, academic, and behavioral outcomes (DuBois et al, 2011; Raposa, Rhodes, et al, 2019). In response to these modest effects, some have suggested that mentoring programs may be able to improve the impact of services by using assessment data to identify, monitor, and evaluate mentors and mentees' (non)response to this service (Cavell et al, 2021; Lyons & McQuillin, 2021). To achieve this goal, programs need to be able to use available data to identify and support mentors and mentees at risk for premature termination.…”

We examined data from a nationally implemented mentoring program over a 4‐year period, to identify demographic and relationship characteristics associated with premature termination. Data were drawn from a sample of 82,224 mentor and mentees. We found matches who reported shared racial or ethnic identities were associated with lower likelihood of premature termination as was mentee's positive feelings of the relationship. We also found that, if data were used as a screening tool, the data were suboptimal for accuracy classifying premature closure with sensitivity and specificity values equal to 0.43 and 0.75. As programs and policymakers consider ways to improve the impact of mentoring programs, these results suggest programs consider the types of data being collected to improve impact of care.
