Research shows that students have difficulty in adapting to university life and often experience emotional, academic, professional and economic problems. Peer mentoring is one of the methods of learning and developing life skills in meeting the needs of university students.The peer mentoring intervention, which is used effectively in nursing education, provides benefits to both mentor and menene; It provides the opportunity to grow and improve by improving positive interaction between peers.It can be said that peer mentoring has a significant effect on students in line with the literature information. In this study, it was planned to examine the impact of the peer mentoring program applied on the perceived stress and self -confidence in order to ensure that the first year students of the nursing students adapt to the university life and the profession and to gain the necessary skills to survive in this process.

Study has been planned as a type of randomized controlled intervention type with pre -test and monitoring patterns, one of the quantitative research methods. 40 mentees (experiment = 20; control = 20) and 20 mentors were included in the study.12 -week mentoring program was applied to the mentees by the mentors. In the collection of research data, "Personal Information Form", "General Self -Qualification Scale", "Self -Confidence Scale" and "Perceived Stress Scale" were used. The measurements were taken 3 times:pre test, post-test and 3-months post-test.

|---|---|---|---|
| Experimental | Experimental | Experimental: First-year nursing students (mentees) undergoing a mentoring program 20 mentees were included in the experimental group.The mentoring program focuses on developing students' life skills. The mentoring program continued for 12 weeks. In the mentoring program, it was expected that the mentors would make individual meeting(s) with the mentee they were matched with, face to face, online or over the phone, and share information and support every week. The frequency and duration of individual interviews were determined by the needs of the mentee. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) | The scale aims to determine the general self-efficacy level of individuals. The scale has 10 items and one dimension, and has a 4-point Likert (1=completely false- 4=completely true=) structure. The score obtained from the scale is between 10-40. A high score means high general self-efficacy. | Change from baseline to 12 weeks (also assessed at 24 weeks post-baseline) |
| Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) | The scale, which consists of a total of 14 items, was designed to measure how stressful some situations in the life of the individual are perceived. The scale is 5-point Likert type. A score between 0 and 56 is taken from the scale. A high score indicates an excess of one's perception of stress. | Change from baseline to 12 weeks (also assessed at 24 weeks post-baseline) |
| Self-Confidence Scale (SCS) | The scale consists of 33 items and 2 subscale. The scale is arranged in a 5-point Likert style and the maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is 165. A high score from the scale without reverse coded items indicates a high level of self-confidence. | Change from baseline to 12 weeks (also assessed at 24 weeks post-baseline) |

Study has been planned as a type of randomized controlled intervention type with pre -test and monitoring patterns, one of the quantitative research methods. 40 mentees/first year students (experimental = 20; control = 20) and 20 mentors/fourth year students were included in the study. Simple random randomization was used in the appointment of the students in the sample group to experimental and control groups. Mentors were randomly matched with the mentees assigned to the experimental group.12 -week mentoring program was applied to the mentees by the mentors. In the collection of research data, "Personal Information Form", "General Self -Qualification Scale", "Self -Confidence Scale" and "Perceived Stress Scale" were used. The measurements were taken 3 times:pre test, post-test and 3-months post-test.
