“…In addition, proportions of participants reporting a degree of non-satisfaction (needs improvement) and/or lack of influence (indifferent or not influenced) were seen to be less at post-program compared to mid-program. These results reflect past findings that mentoring is not mutually exclusive and is more likely to benefit both parties involved in the mentoring process—not just the mentee [ 23 , 26 – 29 ].…”

Introduction Mentoring is a unique educational workplace relationship that can support both the mentee and mentor’s skill, knowledge, social, and emotional needs. The primary aim of this longitudinal pilot study was to implement a formal mentoring program to assess its effect on mentee and mentor satisfaction. Methods Data was collected from two hospitals in New South Wales, Australia in late 2018 and early 2019. Junior doctors (mentees) and senior medical staff (mentors) were asked to complete pre-, mid-, and oost-program surveys, with questions relevant to mentee-mentor satisfaction, interactions, and participation. Mixed-effects ordinal logistic regression models were used to assess the program effect on mentee-mentor satisfaction, while Fishers’ exact test was used to evaluate mentee-mentor interactions and participation. Results Although there was evidence of upwards trends in the proportion of mentees and mentors who reported their satisfaction in the program as excellent and rated their work satisfaction as being very influenced by the program, both trends were statistically non-significant. While our study was likely underpowered, high participation rates provide promising evidence of the program’s acceptability and feasibility. Conclusion Though not reaching statistical significance, study results suggest that the implementation of a mentoring program has the potential to increase satisfaction levels among its participants, be they mentees or mentors. It is recommended that future studies recruit larger samples thereby having sufficient statistical power. Furthermore, causality should be explored in more detail through a multi-site randomized controlled trial design.

“…Though satisfaction scores were consistently high for both questions, mentees were slightly elevated on the former and reversed on the latter. These results very much re ect past ndings that mentoring is not mutually exclusive, and more is likely to bene t both parties involved in the mentoring process -not just the mentee [29][30][31][32].…”

BackgroundMentoring is a unique educational workplace relationship that can support the skill, knowledge, social and emotional needs of both the mentee and mentor. This study aimed to assess the level of participant satisfaction in achieving these aims for a mentoring program implemented at two hospitals in New South Wales, Australia. MethodsUsing a quantitative approach, survey data were collected from 22 junior doctors (the mentees) and 21 senior medical staff (the mentors) at pre-, mid-and post-program. Between group differences were assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Fishers’ exact test, while temporal trend was assessed using the Cochran-Armitage trend test. Results Though no temporal trends or mentee-mentor differences reached statistical significance, junior doctors were found to initiate mentee-mentor meetings more frequently, at both mid-program (50% vs 30%) and post-program (50% vs 19). In addition mentees displayed higher levels of program satisfaction when compared to their mentors at mid-program (100% vs 85%) and post-gram (94% vs 75%). ConclusionsMentoring, if implemented correctly and well-timed, undoubtedly has the necessary properties to enhance each participating party’s professional and personal lives, be they doctors or not.
