Description
Sanna Kulojarvi and co-authors review what ward mentors say about nursing students who learn in pairs on real wards. Their 2026 review pools qualitative studies found across six databases in late 2024. Peer learning shifts the mentor's job, so the review asks what support mentors need and what setting helps.
Seventeen studies made the cut from more than five hundred screened. Three themes stand out: mentors need teaching support tuned to pair work, they need backing of their own, and a warm ward climate makes pairs thrive. Mentors judge pair learning good for students, the review finds. Schools should build mentors' pair-teaching skill as the model spreads.
