improved ability to manage stress for parent mentees

Erwerb von fach- und bereichsspezifischen Kompetenzen

Mentoring was experienced by all bar two survey participants as improving their ability to cope. Many were starting from low positions: parents rated their ability to handle stress prior to mentoring at an average of 3.63 on the 10-point scale, with 81 percent rating themselves 5 or lower. The average score after mentoring was 6.88, an improvement of 33 percent. After mentoring, only one parent rated their ability at 1-3, and even she had experienced a slight improvement. The attribution to mentoring was lower than for other variables, at 69 percent, but the attribution score of just over 3 still indicates that mentoring helped ‘a lot’ to bring about the change.
