PRINCIPLES OF ADULT LEARNING
24
![Page 25: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Adults are autonomous and self-directed. The mentor will explore participants'
perspectives on topics and encourage them to work on projects that reflect their interests. Mentees will be responsible for assignments and project leadership.
Mentors will act as facilitators, guiding participants to their own knowledge rather than supplying them with facts.
Finally, through feedback, the mentee will understand how the process has facilitated goal attainment
25
![Page 26: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Adults have accumulated a foundation of life experience & knowledge that may include work-related activities, family responsibilities, and previous education. They benefit from connecting learning to experience.
To assist, mentors will draw out the mentees’ experience and relevant knowledge.
26
![Page 27: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Adults are relevancy-oriented. They must see a reason for learning. Learning has to be applicable to work, or other responsibilities to be of value. This need can be fulfilled by encouraging participants to choose projects that reflect their own interests.
27
![Page 28: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Adults are practical, focusing on the aspects of a relationship that is most useful in their profession. They may not be interested in knowledge for its own sake. Mentees need to understand how the relationship will be useful.
28
![Page 29: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Participants need specific knowledge of learning results (feedback ). Feedback must be specific, not general.
The reward can be simply a demonstration of benefits to be realized from learning the material. 29
![Page 30: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Finally, the participant must be interested in the subject. Interest is directly related to reward.
Adults must see the benefit of learning in order to motivate themselves to learn.

MOTIVATION FOR LEARNING
31
![Page 32: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

serve mankind, and improve participation in community.
32
![Page 33: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Personal advancement: achieve higher status in a job, secure professional advancement, and stay current in practice.
Escape/Stimulation: relieve boredom, provide a break in the routine, and provide a contrast to details of life.

![Page 34: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Typical motivations include a requirement for competence, an expected or desired promotion, job enrichment, a need to learn or maintain skills, a need to adapt to job changes, or the need to learn organizational directives.
34
![Page 35: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Mentees & mentors can benefit from the wealth of experiences that adult participants bring to the table. Adults want to be treated as equals in experience & knowledge and allowed to voice their opinions freely.
35
![Page 36: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Creating the scene
36
![Page 37: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Set a tone for the session
Mentors will establish a friendly, open atmosphere that demonstrates intent to facilitate mentees’ perceived learning
37
![Page 38: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Set an appropriate level of concern.
The level of tension must be adjusted to meet the level of importance of the objective. If the material has a high level of importance, a higher level of tension/stress should be established in the session (Individuals learn best under low to moderate stress; if the stress is too high, it becomes a barrier to learning). 38
![Page 39: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Set an appropriate level of difficulty The degree of difficulty should
be set high enough to challenge participants, but not so high that they become frustrated by information overload.

BARRIERS TO LEARNING:
40
![Page 41: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Adults have many responsibilities to balance against the demands of learning.
Some of these barriers include: Lack of timeConfidenceInterestLack of informationScheduling problemsChild care & transportation problems
41
![Page 42: Fundamentals of Mentoring - An Introduction for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5f86c1a28ab5c188b4848/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The best way to motivate adult learners is simply to enhance their reasons for learning and decrease the barriers.
The mentor must learn what motivates the mentee –why they have enrolled in this relationship.
A successful strategy includes showing adult learners the relationship between learning & growing.

QUOTE
Somewhere, somehow, at some time in the past, courageous nurses determined these skills, learned them, fought for the right to use them, refined them, and taught them to other nurses. All nurses have an obligation to remember that part of nursing’s past, and to keep their own skills in pace with new opportunities for nursing into the next century (Peplau, 1989)
