  • Title: Mentoring beyond the first year: predictors of mentoring benefits for pediatric staff nurse protégés.
    Author: Jakubik LD.
    Journal: J Pediatr Nurs; 2008 Aug; 23(4):269-81. PubMed ID: 18638671.
    Abstract:
    This research study explored mentoring benefits among pediatric staff nurse protégés through application of a business mentoring model, the Mutual Benefits Model (Zey, 1991), to nursing. The main finding of this study was that mentoring quality was the single best predictor of mentoring benefits among pediatric staff nurse protégés. The major implication of this study is that nursing leaders and organizations can make lasting impacts through high-quality mentoring relationships even when they are time and resource limited. This study and its pilot study provided a valid and reliable nursing research instrument, the Jakubik Mentoring Benefits Questionnaire, for use in future research to further explore the benefits of mentoring among pediatric nurses. The findings of this study support the conceptualization of effective mentoring relationships in nursing as a triad among the individual mentor, the protégé, and the organization where they work rather than a dyad relationship between the mentor and protégé only.
