Abstract
Mentorship is considered to play a paramount role in empowering nursing students to recieve superlative benefit from clinical placement. Although the new standards for student supervision and assessment approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in 2018 seemed to lead to the disillusionment of mentorship, they support clinical education and devotion to nursing students' clinical learning globally. The aim of this synthesis was to review and explore the experiences of mentorship of preregistration nursing students and nurses. A systematic search of databases was performed for qualitative studies published in English from 2000 to 2018. Eleven qualitative studies were selected, from which three analytical themes emerged: mentors' capabilities and readiness for preregistration nursing student mentorship, humanistic approach as foundation to the effectiveness of preregistration nursing student mentorship, and the collaboration of stakeholders in health care and educational settings to enhance preregistration nursing student mentorship. A thematic framework of mentorship in preregistration nursing education was introduced. The thematic synthesis sheds light on how to improve a formal system of mentorship and clinical supervision for nursing education.
