The NUH-ME measure was found to be valid and reliable and contributes to program relevance in addressing new graduates' perceptions of mentoring in addressing their personal, professional and clinical skill development needs.
Abstract
The NUH-ME measure was found to be valid and reliable. Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the tool with different groups of nursing graduates is required. Mentorship programs can be an effective recruitment and retention strategy, but are also resource intensive. Measuring new graduates' perceptions of mentoring contributes to program relevance in addressing their personal, professional and clinical skill development needs. As mentoring engages a diverse range of mentors, feedback through measurement may also positively alter organizational learning culture.
