Brief Summary

Postpartum perineal care (PPC) is one of the critical skills that should be acquired by students studying in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Nursing under nursing education. Perineal care is a skill that contributes positively to the recovery process of the mother by eliminating the risk of infection through maintaining hygiene of the sutured or non-sutured perineum in postpartum women Peer mentoring is important for both the peer mentor and the peer to practice in accordance with PPC protocols by going through a bidirectional learning experience, for these practices to be evaluated by peer mentors, and for the skill to be experienced in a safe environment. Peer mentoring plays an important role in teaching metacognitive thinking skills as well as the knowledge and skills of peers in nursing education. Although there are studies on the acquisition of skills in peer mentoring in the literature, no study has been found to demonstrate the effect of peer mentoring on the PPC knowledge, skills and metacognitive thinking skills of nursing students. In this context, it is thought that the study will contribute to the literature.
