Brief Summary

This study investigates the effects of a peer-guided model supported by a mobile application on nursing students' educational processes. The primary goal of the research is to assess the potential impact of this model on students' self-efficacy, university adaptation, and academic success. The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental design with 70 nursing students. The experimental group will have 35 students, while the control group will also include 35 students. The data collection tools will include a student diagnostic form, university adaptation scale, satisfaction with educational methods scale, academic self-efficacy scale, and academic achievement scale. The research process will include the application of the student diagnostic form, the development of the mobile application, an informational meeting about the peer-guided model for students, randomization, mentor-mentee assignments, initial data collection, and the stages of initiation, training, separation, and re-evaluation. The use of the peer guidance model and mobile application will be emphasized during the educational process. Motivating peer leaders and achieving the program's objectives will be ensured through peer leader seminars. Data analysis will be performed using SPSS 25.0 software, with an initial examination of the data distribution. T-tests or one-way ANOVA will be used for normally distributed variables, and the Scheffe test will be applied to identify differences. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests will be used for non-normally distributed variables. Additionally, Pearson correlation analysis will determine relationships between continuous variables. The effects of independent variables will be evaluated using multiple regression analysis (Backward method). Statistical significance will be assessed at a p-value of \<0.05. This study has been designed according to CONSORT standards, and all necessary ethical approvals and institutional permissions have been obtained.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Academic Success, Self-efficacy Level, Satisfaction Surveys:

  Academic Success: The mobile application used within the scope of the project is expected to improve the academic performance of the students. whether it improves or not can be measured. Students' course grades, exam performance and general academic achievement can be taken into consideration. can be evaluated by taking into consideration. Self-efficacy Level: Increased self-efficacy of nursing students through mobile application and peer mentoring programme. self-efficacy levels can be measured. Students' level of self-confidence, problem solving skills and s elf-efficacy can be measured. Their ability to make decisions on their own can be assessed. Satisfaction Surveys: Regular satisfaction surveys to nursing students during the project process the extent to which they were satisfied with the mobile application and peer mentoring programme and what kind of improvements can be identified that they want

EXPERIMENTAL

Population and Sample: The study population consists of approximately 306 nursing students enrolled in the Nursing Department between September 2024 and June 2025. It aims to include the entire population without using any sampling method. The plan is for third -and fourth-year students to act as peer guides (mentors), while first -and second-year students will be mentees. 1st and 2nd-year students: 85+80 = 165 3rd and 4th-year students: 70+71 = 141 Additionally, 4th-year students will be assigned as peer guides for 1st-year students. In a similar study by Cant and Cooper (2017), the effect size was calculated as 0.80. Based on power analysis, to achieve a 95% power, with a 5% significance level and an effect size of 0.80, a sample size of 70 (35 experimental and 35 control group) is required (df=68; t=1.667). Considering the test's high power and potential dropouts, the study aims to recruit 90 participants (45 per group).Peer mentoring model supported by mobile application
