DescriptionResident Registered Nurse Anesthetists (RRNAs) undergo enormous stress related to the lifestyle changes that are necessary to commit to full time training in nurse anesthesia programs (NAPs). Mentorship and mentoring initiatives have proven to provide positive benefits to the parties involved and providing the positive support to enhance wellness in RRNAs.

Purpose of Project: This descriptive study was conducted to assess the status of mentorship and mentorship initiatives in NAPs and to understand and analyze the specific constructs of organizational change from the perspective of nurse anesthesia program directors (NAPD) toward mentorship after viewing an online educational video.

Methodology: NAP demographic information from current NAPDs (n=36) was conducted to obtain the current descriptive statistics of mentorship in nurse anesthesia programs. An adapted Organizational Readiness for Implementing Change (ORIC) measure was conducted via an online survey before and after viewing an online educational video concerning the topics of stress of RRNAs, mentorship and formalized mentorship programs. The adapted ORIC measure assessing for 6 constructs of change was completed by applicable study participants (n= 26). Responses to the survey were analyzed by comparing pre- and post- median scores via a Wilcoxon signed rank test.

Results: Statistically significant increases in the median scores of change commitment, change valence, task knowledge and resource availability were noted in study participants (p <0.05), reflecting that education was able to increase organizational readiness for change in these specific constructs.

Implications for Practice: The findings of this study suggest initiatives concerning NAPDs should target and address these constructs of change commitment, change valence, task knowledge and resource availability to successfully implement mentorship in nurse anesthesia programs in the future.
