“…Other programs may include the provision of hotlines to speak with care giving consultants or coaches (Teri McCurry, Logsdon, & Gibbons, 2005), and the design of mentoring programming for caregivers (Sánchez & Ferrari, 2005). The degree to which these distal-and one-on-one techniques are effective may vary as a function of caregiver personal traits and contextual circumstances (e.g., living with the care-recipient or apart).…”

A B S T R A C T Relationship quality and elder caregiver burden in IndiaThe purpose of this study was to examine the psychosocial factors that contribute to burden among Asian Indian caregivers of the elderly in Allahabad, India. Within this context of caregiving, the importance of relationship quality as a determinant of burden was examined in 259 Asian Indian families. A stress process model was utilized to explain the quality of relationship between the caregiver and the elderly persons. Another factor predicting burden was role overload. In addition, it was found that there were several indirect effects through relationship quality that predicted burden. The findings suggest that psycho educational interventions may be gainfully used to reduce burden among caregivers of elderly in India.

“…This review sought the interpreted narratives of participants who voluntarily connect with men, therefore publications were excluded from this review that did not examine the lived experience of mentors. A substantial body of the scholarly literature on volunteering contains the key terms of mentoring (Sanchez & Ferrari, 2005 ; Wilson, Cordier, et al, 2013 ), but much of the volunteering literature was excluded from this review as it was concerned with the mentor's evaluation of the mentee's success at learning or overcoming perceived shortcomings in areas such as knowledge transfer, youth issues, medical assistance or disability support (Ayton & Joss, 2016 ; Marks et al, 2019 ; Wingfield et al, 2017 ). Literature on mentoring in employment and work, whilst rich in content and providing a seminal definition of mentoring (Higgins & Kram, 2001 ), was excluded owing to the paid nature of the mentorship, lack of a clear voluntary commitment, and the focus on mentee performance within the organisation (de Vries et al, 2006 ).…”

In contemporary western cultures, such as Australia, there is increasing reported social disconnection. This disconnection is associated with loneliness and for some suicide, particularly for men. Voluntary male mentoring organisations aim to socially connect and improve men's wellbeing through facilitating men's one‐to‐one relationships. As is the case with most people, men value someone with whom they may communicate openly and safely, as occurs in voluntary mentoring. However, there is limited research on voluntary male mentoring or the experiences of the participants. This scoping review of the literature from voluntary adult male mentoring thematically synthesises the reported narratives from mentors. A systematic search was undertaken of five academic databases on voluntary adult male mentoring for scholarly articles in English. Additionally, the returned articles had their references reviewed for relevant authoritative reports and publications. After duplicates were removed, there were 471 publications. Sources included publications from humanities, social science, psychology and the health sciences. Once screened for eligibility this number was reduced to 29 publications. A thematic synthesis of the literature found the concepts of intentional relationship, journey and mutual growth were present. The implications of these findings are that men in community settings, informed by the experience of voluntary mentors, may be prepared to engage with other men. Additional research on the lived experience of mentors may offer further insights into facilitating male connection.

“…A scoping review by Henderson et al ( 2022 ) of voluntary male mentoring revealed the primary theme of an intentional relationship based on human connection and care (Arora & Rangnekar, 2015 ; Butera, 2008 ; Emlet & Harris, 2020 ), drawn from experiences of altruistic support (Ayton & Joss, 2016 ; Brady et al, 2017 ; Celdrán et al, 2018 ; Rahja et al, 2016 ; Yuen, 2002 ; Zucchero, 2011 ). Volunteer relationships of depth contrasted with mentor experiences from institutions and industry in that emotional learning unexpectedly occurred, particularly in relation to mentors' social self‐confidence (Greenwood & Habibi, 2014 ; Sanchez & Ferrari, 2005 ; Santini et al, 2020 ; Shapira‐Lishchinsky & Levy‐Gazenfrantz, 2016 ; Smith & Greenwood, 2014 ). The implications are that capability for male connection is present in our communities, and the benefits are two‐way in a one‐to‐one relationship.…”

Men volunteering to mentor other men is a growing form of social engagement in Australia. Masculine norms associated with not disclosing emotional distress or discussing loneliness are often set aside by participating in these one‐to‐one relationships. Mentors have reported improvement in their well‐being and a desire to contribute more. In this phenomenological study, which draws on hermeneutic methodology, 12 men who voluntarily met and mentored another adult man for a minimum of 6 months participated in a semi‐structured interview. Findings showed non‐judgement and deep listening facilitated a rewarding and personally developmental relationship. Most voluntary mentors experienced substantial changes in their masculine views, particularly with the regard to trust and openness with others. This experience has implications for men realising their ability to engage others and for community well‐being.
