Mentoring role effectiveness and satisfaction during internship training: A psychometric evaluation of Saudi nursing interns

A substantial nursing shortage has created a global public health crisis in the United States of America (USA), United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries, including Saudi Arabia, where there are only 40 nurses for every 10,000 people (WHO,  2010). To address this shortage, Saudi Arabia implemented a Saudisation policy in 1992 to increase the number of Saudis in the nursing profession. In Saudi Arabia, undergraduate students study nursing in a 5-year course comprising 1-year preparatory, 3-year nursing proper and 1-year internship tra ining (Aboshaiqah, 2016; AL-Dossary, 2018; Almalki, 2011).
