Özet
Background: Peer-assisted learning is a student-centered social learning approach that arises from the communication and interactions among peers. Aim: The study aims to determine the reflections of first- and fourth-year nursing students regarding peer-assisted learning applied in a clinical setting. Methods: This study was based on an explanatory sequential design of mixed methods research. It was carried out with 147 first- and fourth-year nursing students in the same clinical environment. The two student groups worked together for a total of six weeks. During this process, fourth-year students provided peer support to first-year students. A questionnaire form was used to collect quantitative data, and qualitative data were col- lected through document analysis. Frequency and percentage were used in the analysis of quantitative data, while content analysis was used in the analysis of qualitative data. Results: Most first-year students (62.7%) stated that they were happy to be in the same clinic with fourth-year students, and 60% of them said they adjusted better when working with fourth graders. Based on the qualitative data of the research, the views of the first- year students were grouped under three themes: definitions for fourth-year students, peer support from fourth-year students, and expectations from peers; while the views of the fourth-year students were grouped under four themes: definitions for first-year students, contribution of peer education to fourth-year students, support for first-year students, and advice for first-year students. Conclusion: The vast majority of both groups were of the opinion that peer-assisted learning implementation was beneficial. It was observed that the implementation raised awareness among the participants and positively affected the learning process and facilitated the edu- cational experience.
