Abstract
The main problem of the study is to determine the mentoring practices of nurses in the district hospital in Cuenca, Batangas. Specifically, the study dealt with the mentoring practices in the hospital as perceived by the staff nurses and the nurse supervisors in interactive mentoring, task-oriented mentoring, and transformative mentoring in the different nursing areas. A quantitative research design was utilized in the study. The statistical treatment of data of frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean, and ANOVA were calculated. The participants of the study were 20 nursing staff including the chief nurse, nurse supervisors, and registered nurses who have direct responsibility for giving nursing care. In general, the mentoring practices in the hospital as perceived by the staff nurses and the nurse supervisors are described as to “great extent”. However, the extent of the need for mentorship in the Nursing Service areas revealed: “Very Great Extent”. Test results showed that there is no significant difference in the assessments of the respondents when they are grouped according to profile. From the results, the need for training and continuous professional improvement should be encouraged among staff nurse and their supervisors. A development program for the nursing staff of the nursing services department is recommended to provide the opportunity for nurses to continuously acquire and develop the knowledge skill, attitudes ideals, and values essential for the maintenance of high-quality nursing care.
