Advancing the process of mentorship among nursing deans: The Searching, Engaging, Trialing, and Shaping (S. E. T. S.) theory

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to identify processes, examine insights, and develop a theory on the concept of mentorship among deans of Nursing colleges in Region IV-A. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews using aide-memoire. Audio recording and note-taking were done for the data accuracy. Validation was utilized by performing re-interview and through observation to the same KI. Data analysis done was cool and warm, along with the execution of expert analysis, guided by the procedures and phases of Strauss and Corbin.1 The mentor-mentee relationship resulted in 4 phases Searching, Engaging, Trialing, and Shaping (S.E.T.S.), which details how mentorship exists and engenders the ideal working environment. These phases characterize the most definite relationship between the mentors and mentees, specifically the deans and their faculty members. This study further ignites desirable effects and outcomes holistically and to enhance more mentorship style and how a mentee will transcend positively
