“…The qualities of the mentor reported by the participants in the present study are not unique and are comparable to those reported across the mentoring literature (23,33) . The important quality to note of the mentor in this study is the ability to facilitate group learning through an equal relationship.…”

“…Effective mentoring relationships must have attraction (inspiration), action (investment) and affect (support) (33) . These data provide evidence of elements of these phases and components; however, they also demonstrate that mentoring relationships are not exact or linear and cannot be construed for professional development purposes.…”

Objective: To evaluate a mentoring circle workforce development intervention among a group of public health nutrition novices. Design: The mentoring circle intervention focused on facilitating practice-based public health nutrition competence development and supporting reorientation of practice from clinical services to preventive services. A retrospective post-intervention qualitative semi-structured interview was used to explore the experiences of those participating in the mentoring circle and to make evaluative judgements about intervention attributes and effectiveness. Setting: Victoria, Australia. Subjects: Thirty-two novice public health nutrition practitioners employed in the state public health system. Results: Key evaluative theme categories relating to the mentoring circle intervention were identified, including the structure and function of the group, the utility of using advanced-level competency items to guide planning, having a safe and supportive environment for learning and the utility of learning via mentoring and on-the-job experiences. These qualitative evaluation data identify the attributes of the mentoring circle intervention contributing to intervention effectiveness. Conclusions: This qualitative evaluation indicates that mentoring circles can be an effective workforce capacity-building intervention, particularly in novice workforces characterised by professional isolation and split function roles.

“…Formality, training of mentors and organisational support are significant factors identified as important for success in mentoring relationships (13) . The present study suggests that while formalised, clearly articulated outcomes for the mentoring partnership are important, informal mentoring relationships can develop competence.…”

Objective: To explore the nature, role and utility of mentoring in the development of competence in advanced-level Australian public health nutritionists. Design: Qualitative study using in-depth interviews. Subjects and setting: Eighteen advanced-level public health nutritionists working in academic and practice settings in Australia. Results: The attributes and career pathways of the subjects were consistent with previous findings. Dissatisfaction with clinical practice was a key reason for choosing a career in public health. Experiential learning, postgraduate education and mentoring from both peers and senior colleagues were the most significant contributors to competency development. The subjects supported mentoring as an important strategy for public health nutrition workforce development and articulated the characteristics and models important for mentoring relationships in public health nutrition. Conclusions: The present study suggests mentoring was an important part of competency development for advanced-level public health and community nutritionists in Australia. Mentoring programmes based on experiential learning may assist in developing public health nutrition workforce competence.

“…1,2 Mentors' perceptions, attitudes and actions in modelling professionalism and improving the quality of patient care are important to the success of such structured mentorship programs, 3,4 despite the difficulty in applying metrics to the concept of mentorship. 5 However, mentoring successfully in the immediate aftermath of a conflict situation poses additional challenges that have infrequently been described.…”

Background: Previous work has been published on the experiences of high-resource setting physicians mentoring in low-resource environments. However, not much is known about what mentees think about their First World mentors. We had the opportunity to explore this question in an Afghan Army Hospital, and we believe this is the first time this has been studied. Methods:We conducted a pilot cross-sectional survey of Afghan health care providers evaluating their Canadian mentors. We created a culturally appropriate 19 -question survey with 5-point Likert scores that was then translated into the local Afghan language. The survey questions were based on domains of Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada's CanMEDS criteria. Results:The survey response rate was 90% (36 of 40). The respondents included 13 physicians, 21 nurses and 2 other health care professionals. Overall, most of the Afghan health care workers felt that working with mentors from high-resource settings was a positive experience (median 4.0, interquartile range [IQR] 4-4), according to CanMEDS domains. However, respondents indicated that the mentors were reliant on medical technology for diagnosis (median 5.0, IQR 4-5) and failed to consider the limited resources available in Afghanistan. Conclusion:The overall impression of Afghan health care providers was that mentors are appropriate and helpful. CanMEDS can be used as a framework to evaluate mentors in low-resource conflict environments.Contexte : Des travaux ont déjà été publiés sur l'expérience des médecins de milieux favorisés en ressources qui font du mentorat dans des milieux défavorisés en ressources. Toutefois, on en sait relativement peu sur ce que pensent les pupilles de leurs mentors des pays industrialisés. Nous avons eu l'occasion d'explorer cette question dans un hôpital militaire afghan et nous croyons qu'il s'agit de la première fois que ce sujet est étudié.Méthodes : Nous avons réalisé un sondage pilote transversal auprès des professionnels de la santé afghans pour qu'ils évaluent leurs mentors canadiens. Nous avons créé un sondage culturellement approprié comportant 19 questions assorties d'échelles de Likert à 5 points, qui a ensuite été traduit en langue afghane locale. Les questions du sondage s'inspiraient des domaines des critères CanMEDS du Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens du Canada.Résultats : Le taux de réponse au sondage a été de 90 % (36 sur 40). Les répondants étaient : 13 médecins, 21 infirmières et 2 autres professionnels de la santé. Dans l'ensemble, la plupart des professionnels de la santé afghans ont estimé que de travailler avec des mentors provenant d'un milieu favorisé en ressources a été une expéri-ence positive (médiane 4,0; intervalle interquartile [IIQ] 4-4), selon les domaines CanMEDS. Les répondants ont toutefois indiqué que les mentors se fiaient à la technologie médicale pour le diagnostic (médiane 5,0; IIQ 4-5) et négligeaient de tenir compte des ressources limitées accessibles en Afghanistan.Conclusion : L'impression globale des profes...
