Overview
Brief Summary
This project is designed as a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effect of the Peer Leadership Program, established in the Nursing Department, on nursing peer mentor students' empathic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, and youth leadership characteristics.
Detailed Description
The study population comprises second, third and fourth-year students enrolled at Süleyman Demirel University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, during the 2024-2025 academic year. Peer mentor students, selected on the basis of volunteerism, will be randomly assigned mentors by an independent researcher to ensure randomness. The study will be conducted over a period of six weeks. During this period, the peer mentors will undergo training in communication techniques, interview methods, empathic approach, social motivation and leader-member interaction, with the subsequent sharing of postcasts. Furthermore, a presentation and evaluation meeting will be held between the peer mentors and their mentees, with the aim of fostering empathy and understanding between the two groups. The meeting will be based on the theme of 'nursing and society'. In order to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, the peer mentors' empathic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy and youth leadership characteristics will be evaluated before and after the meeting. Additionally, the socio-demographic data of the students will be recorded in a data collection form.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Perceived Empathic Self-Efficacy and Social Self-Efficacy Scale
Time Frame: Before Training and Activities (First Session) and at the Final Session After 6 Weeks
The scale was developed by Di Giunta et al. (2010), and the Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Akın and Başören. The scale comprises 11 items and two dimensions, with respondents invited to indicate their level of agreement on a five-point Likert scale, where 1 represents a complete disagreement and 5 represents complete agreement. The items are distributed according to the two subscales, namely perceived empathic self-efficacy (items 1-6) and perceived social self-efficacy (items 7-11). A high score on the first sub-dimension of the scale, empathic self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of responding empathically to the needs and feelings of others. A high score on the second sub-dimension, social self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of initiating and managing interpersonal relationships.
Secondary Outcomes
- Youth Leadership Traits scale(Before Training and Activities (First Session) and at the Final Session After 6 Weeks)
