Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of peer mentoring training on the life skills of mentored nursing students. The following hypothesis was investigated in the study: H1: The life skills score of the intervention group that received peer mentoring training was higher than the life skills score of the control group that did not receive training. As part of the study, the intervention group will receive peer mentoring training. Participants are required to attend at least half of the training program, which covers topics such as self-management and self-awareness, stress management, coaching and mentoring, critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making, effective communication, and relationship management. The control group will not participate in the training. Data were collected from participants for pretests and posttests before and after the training program.
