ABSTRACT
Introduction: Mentoring is the process in which an experienced
person (mentor) guides another (mentee), with
the aim of improving their skills and / or knowledge, to
develop their professional capabilities. That is why the
Mentoring Program was implemented before and during
the beginning of clinical subjects, of the Dentistry career
of the Universidad Austral de Chile.
Objective: Know the opinion of the students who participated,
regarding the development of the Program.
Method: A study framed in the qualitative paradigm was
carried out, through an intrinsic case study. The sampling
was non-probabilistic, intentional, by criteria, composed
of 20 students, with prior informed consent. Data collection
was through 8 in-depth interviews and 2 focus groups
of 6 students each. Data analysis wasperformed by Glaser
and Strauss constant comparison method, following
the sequence of Miles and Huberman: data reduction,
provision / transformation and obtaining / verifying conclusions,
using the Atlas ti program as a computational
resource.
Results: 403 units of meaning were identified, grouped
into 24 categories, emerging 9 metacategories and 3
domains: “meaning of mentoring”, “mentor-mentee relationship”,
and “influential factors in the development of
the program”.
Conclusions: The program for most of the mentees was
significant and beneficial in the academic, professional
and personal aspects, increasing their self-confidence.
It also evidenced a transition in the teacher / student
relationship, from a distant one to a close link, of accompaniment
and constant guidance. They would have
expected a permanent accompaniment throughout the
clinical cycle and suggest that the participating teachers
have pedagogical training.
