This project is designed as a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effect of the Peer Leadership Program, established in the Nursing Department, on nursing peer mentor students' empathic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, and youth leadership characteristics.
The study population comprises second, third and fourth-year students enrolled at Süleyman Demirel University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, during the 2024-2025 academic year. Peer mentor students, selected on the basis of volunteerism, will be randomly assigned mentors by an independent researcher to ensure randomness. The study will be conducted over a period of six weeks. During this period, the peer mentors will undergo training in communication techniques, interview methods, empathic approach, social motivation and leader-member interaction, with the subsequent sharing of postcasts. Furthermore, a presentation and evaluation meeting will be held between the peer mentors and their mentees, with the aim of fostering empathy and understanding between the two groups. The meeting will be based on the theme of 'nursing and society'. In order to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, the peer mentors' empathic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy and youth leadership characteristics will be evaluated before and after the meeting. Additionally, the socio-demographic data of the students will be recorded in a data collection form.

| Perceived Empathic Self-Efficacy and Social Self-Efficacy Scale | The scale was developed by Di Giunta et al. (2010), and the Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Akın and Başören. The scale comprises 11 items and two dimensions, with respondents invited to indicate their level of agreement on a five-point Likert scale, where 1 represents a complete disagreement and 5 represents complete agreement. The items are distributed according to the two subscales, namely perceived empathic self-efficacy (items 1-6) and perceived social self-efficacy (items 7-11). A high score on the first sub-dimension of the scale, empathic self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of responding empathically to the needs and feelings of others. A high score on the second sub-dimension, social self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of initiating and managing interpersonal relationships. | Before Training and Activities (First Session) and at the Final Session After 6 Weeks |

| Youth Leadership Traits scale | The 'Youth Leadership Characteristics Scale' developed by Cansoy and Turan in 2016 in 5-point Likert form consists of 40 items and seven sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions are; willingness to struggle and goal setting (7 items), ability to communicate (7 items), group skills (7 items), decision making skills (4 items), problem solving skills (4 items), responsibility (5 items), self-confidence (6 items). In Cansoy and Turan's (2016) study, the Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.92. According to the frequency of the behaviour shown, the youth leadership traits scale is planned as Always '5 points', Frequently '4 points', Occasionally '3 points', Very rarely '2 points', Never '1 point'. The increase in the score indicates that the approach is positive. |

The two researchers involved in the study will contact the mentee students who have enrolled at the beginning of the autumn term of the 2024-2025 academic year and make the assignments of the peer mentors. These processes will be carried out by an independent researcher. Peer mentor and mentee assignments will remain confidential from the researchers until the pre-test is conducted by the research team.
