Brief Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a peer mentoring program on first- and third-year midwifery students at a university in Türkiye. Peer mentoring involves experienced students (mentors) providing guidance and support to new students (mentees). A total of 120 students were randomly assigned to either a mentoring group or a control group. The program lasted for 13 weeks and included face-to-face meetings between mentors and mentees. The study was designed to assess how peer mentoring may contribute to students' university adjustment, leadership development, and perceptions of the midwifery profession.
