improved sense of hope for parent mentees
psychosoziales Befinden
Scores for hopefulness almost doubled over the mentoring period. Asked how hopeful they were about the future, parents gave an average initial score of 4.00 on the scale of 1-10 and an end score of 7.56. Some maintained high levels of hopefulness throughout the period of mentoring but for some, initial hopefulness was low, with fully half of participants giving scores of 1-3. At the end of mentoring, no parent rated their hopefulness at less than 5 and almost a third made gains of six or more scale points. The attribution to mentoring was equivalent to 71 percent. Again the evidence from the interviews supported these levels of improvement and attribution to mentoring.
