Abstract EN
Mentoring is important in the career development of novice and experienced nurses.
With the anticipated shortage in nursing, it is important to explore factors such as mentoring that may contribute to career satisfaction and intent to stay in the profession.
This study explored the effects of mentoring on career satisfaction and intent to stay in nursing, and the relationship between career satisfaction and intent to stay in nursing.
It was conducted through a mailed survey of RNs 55 years or younger currently in practice, education, administration, or research.
Career satisfaction was measured through the use of the newly developed Mariani Nursing Career Satisfaction Scale.
Findings revealed no statistically significant effect of mentoring on career satisfaction and intent to stay in nursing.
There was a statistically significant relationship between career satisfaction and intent to stay in nursing.
The majority of nurses reported participating in a mentoring relationship.
Although the findings related to mentoring, career satisfaction, and intent to stay were not statistically significant, there was a prevalence of mentoring in nursing, thus suggesting the need for future research to identify outcomes of mentoring.
In addition, the study contributed a newly developed instrument to measure the concept of career satisfaction in nursing.
