“…This review captured details of the different programs, their structure, attributes of successful mentoring relationships and mentoring benefits. Our findings demonstrate that many mentorship programs in allied health are run through professional associations, which was not highlighted in previous occupational therapy and allied health reviews (Doyle et al, 2019Howlett et al, 2022Stephenson et al, 2022). Considering that a barrier to mentorship described in this review was allied health practitioners experiencing a lack of access to suitable mentors or mentorship opportunities, professional associations may have a role in ensuring the accessibility and visibility of mentorship programs to mitigate this barrier.…”

“…Occupational therapy literature described how a trusting mentoring relationship assisted in improving competence and confidence (Jackson et al, 2022), and recent medicine literature also stressed the importance of trust (Odell et al, 2022). In our review, details were vague about the behaviours and personality traits that foster trust, but communication skills seemed important (Stephenson et al, 2022). If mentors have effective communication and listening skills, this may contribute to a trusting relationship and lead to the mentee's goals being addressed (Stephenson et al, 2022).…”

If mentors have effective communication and listening skills, this may contribute to a trusting relationship and lead to the mentee's goals being addressed (Stephenson et al, 2022). If the mentor is not trusted, then mentees may not share and be truthful in relation to their feelings (i.e., inadequacy) which presents a barrier to relationship success.…”

“…Our findings show that outlining clear expectations, defining the purpose of mentorship and setting goals, are vital in facilitating a successful mentoring relationship (Bogwu, 2020; Coltman, 2018; Damaskos & Gardner, 2015; Ezzat & Maly, 2012; Gooding et al, 2018). Recent occupational therapy and allied health literature supports these recommendations (Doyle et al, 2019; Stephenson et al, 2022) and advises the inclusion of strategies such as agreeing upon the frequency of meetings and methods of communication.…”

“…In a scoping review, Howlett et al (2022) provided a consolidated description of mentoring as a knowledge translation strategy in the allied health professions as well as nursing and medicine, and they also included students. Another scoping review focused on self‐assessment measures of mentoring skills across healthcare professions, including allied health (Stephenson et al, 2022).…”

BackgroundMentorship is a mutually beneficial voluntary relationship between mentor and mentee. In principle, the mentee trusts in the mentor for guiding career development and acquiring new knowledge and skills while the mentor finds giving back to the profession rewarding. Mentorship is beneficial at every career stage, but little is known about current programs and processes.ObjectiveTo review the literature about mentorship in allied health to inform programs and practices in occupational therapy. Scoping focused on barriers, facilitators and reported outcomes of programs and attributes of mentors and mentees.Data SourcesA search was applied to six databases on 8 February 2022 in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Scopus, PUBMED and CINAHL Complete. Search terms were developed in consultation with an academic librarian and using the population, concept and context mnemonic.MethodsWe used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA‐ScR) and the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. Data extraction forms were piloted with two reviewers and dual extraction occurred with a portion of papers. Where conflicts arose, discussion occurred until a consensus was reached.FindingsSixty‐two papers were included from eleven countries. The papers arose from ten allied health disciplines, with five in occupational therapy. One‐on‐one mentoring was most common followed by groups and the use of online platforms. Structured approaches were often used, with the support of professional associations. Trust and willingness to share expertise were required attributes of mentors. Mentees appreciate self‐selecting their mentor and having protected time for mentorship.Conclusion and SignificanceThis synthesis provides a description of the available literature on mentorship in allied health. Benefits of mentorship were recorded with the acquisition of skills and knowledge being the most prominent. This synthesis provides ideas for future development and refinement of mentorship in occupational therapy.

Background Integrating complex interventions within healthcare settings can be challenging. Mentoring can be embedded within a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to upskill and support those delivering the intervention. This study aimed to understand, from a realist perspective, how mentoring worked to support implementation fidelity for occupational therapists (OTs) delivering a vocational rehabilitation (VR) intervention within the context of an RCT. Methods A realist evaluation using secondary data (emails, mentoring record forms, interviews) collected as part of an RCT. Three researchers coded the data following content analysis, focused on refining or refuting an initial programme theory by exploring the interactions between context, mechanisms, and outcomes. The research team met to further refine the programme theories. Results Data from 584 emails, 184 mentoring record forms, and 25 interviews were analysed following a realist approach. We developed a programme theory consisting of two contexts (trial set-up, ongoing mentoring), nine mechanisms (collective understanding, monitoring, timely support, positive reinforcement, reflective practice, support data completeness, facilitation strategy, shared learning experience, management of research and clinical duties), and three outcomes (improved confidence, improved fidelity, reduced contamination). Conclusions Offering mentoring support to OTs delivering a VR intervention as part of an RCT improves intervention fidelity and reduces the risk of contamination. It improves OTs’ understanding of the differences between their clinical and research roles and increases their confidence and competence in trial paperwork completion and identification of potential contamination issues.

The main purpose of the research is to examine the effect of emotional labor, core self, constructive non-normative behavior and the mediating effect of personnel empowerment. The universe of the study is hotel businesses and the sample is the hotels in Ankara and Muğla. Research data were collected from managers in the hotel enterprises in question by interview form and survey technique from the staff. The data obtained with 538 questionnaires collected from the employees were analyzed. In the light of the data obtained from the employees, "factor analysis" was used for sizing and validating the scales. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales. For the validation of the research model, "Structural Equation Modeling" was preferred in measuring the interaction of the independent variables with the dependent variable and determining the mediating role in the LISREL package program. According to the results of the research, it has been observed that staff empowerment has a partial mediating role in the effect of collective emotional labor on constructive non-normative behavior. On the other hand, it has been revealed that staff empowerment is a full mediator in the effect of core ego on constructive non-normative behavior.
