A systematic scoping review of mentoring support on professional identity formation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mentoring's success in nurturing professional identity formation (PIF) has been attributed to its ability to build personalised and enduring mentoring relationships. However, beyond functioning as communities of practice (CoPs) supporting socialisation processes, how mentoring integrates programme values and instils a shared identity amongst mentees remains unclear. The need for personalised guidance and timely attention to a mentee's unique needs in evolving mentoring relationships point to the critical role of support mechanisms ('mentoring support'). We conducted a systematic scoping review (SSR) studying "What is known about mentoring support's role in nurturing PIF?".

Methods

Adopting PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this SSR was guided by the Systematic Evidence-Based
