THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF MENTORING NURSES IN MALAYSIA
ABSTRACT: Being a nursing
mentor is not an entirely new concept in nursing. However, it is a new
phenomenon in the nursing profession in Malaysia. The nursing administration
and the senior nurses in Malaysia have claimed that they have started a
mentorship program by having senior nurses shadow new graduate nurses for the
past two to three years ago. With no study found in Malaysia investigating the
lived experiences of mentors mentoring new registered nurses, it led the
researcher to develop this research that explores the real life experiences of
these senior Malaysian nurses who mentor neophyte nurses.
Objectives: This research explores and describes the lived experiences of
nurses mentoring neophyte or new registered nurses at one of the major hospital
in the Malaysia Borneo and how such experiences influence their daily routine
as a nurse and also as a mentor. The research will also attaches meaning to
these experiences and identifies both positive and negative experiences as a
mentor to neophyte.
Methods: The experiences of nurses mentoring the neophyte in the clinical
area were captured using a qualitative approach to research and further viewed
through methods informed by phenomenology, which used interpretive and
descriptive semi-structured interviews. Hermeneutic interpretive phenomenology
was used in the focus to analyze interview transcript into textual expression
of the mentors. Three main themes emerge from this study are being unprepared
and challenged, perceptions of mentees, mentor hope and desire.
