Turkey (Türkiye)25 participantsStarted 2024-12-15
Plain-language summary
The E-mentorship Program is planned to last four weeks to facilitate the adaptation process of newly hired nurses in intensive care units. The program will be conducted through a specialized web-based e-mentorship platform, enabling experienced nurses to mentor and support the professional development of new hires.
This study aims to design, implement, evaluate and determine the effect of an e-mentorship program that will provide online support to facilitate the adaptation of new nurses to work.
Research Hypotheses H1 - The work readiness score of mentees who participated in the e-mentorship program is higher after the program than before the program.
H2 - The satisfaction with the use of the e-mentorship website is proportional to the work readiness score of mentees.
H3 - The design and usability of the e-mentorship website are effective in facilitating the adaptation of new nurses to work.
Research Goals
* Design of an e-mentoring program that nurses can use,
* Implementation of the e-mentoring program,
* Evaluation of the satisfaction of using the e-mentoring website,
* Determining the effect of job adaptation of new nurses.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
