Both CSNs and nurse managers’ quantitative data were analysed with Statistical Package for Social Science software version 23 (IBM Corp, 2015, IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0. Armonk, New York) and descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage) and inferential statistical tests (Pearson correlation coefficient significance level, α = 0.5). Table 1 depicts the mentoring factors that were highlighted by CSNs. Majority of the CSNs agreed mostly on all mentoring factor items, with the scoring of above 90%, as compared to those who did not agree.
Out of the 174 nurse managers, the majority agreed on the mentoring factors as depicted inTable 2 . The nurse managers also scored above 90% on all the mentoring factor items.
The qualitative data analysis process started by organising and preparing data from CSNs and nurse managers. Transcribed data were typed and again verified by listening to audio recordings repeatedly. ATLAS.ti 7 software (Berlin) was used to organise, manage and analyse data (Friese 2013 :4).
Both CSNs’ and nurse managers’ quantitative and qualitative results were then merged with an in-depth literature review to develop the mentoring guidelines.
