Περίληψη: Background: Access to manual uterine aspiration (MUA) training in the United States is precarious and fraught. WhatsApp, the instant messaging platform, is used in medical education and peer collaboration. Advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) lack sufficient access to mentorship for learning MUA. Objective: This pilot study examines the effect of participation in a WhatsApp Mentorship Group on perceived mentorship for ARNPs learning MUA. Methods: Study design was quasi-experimental. ARNPs attending a reproductive health conference completed a survey measuring mentorship. Participants were invited to join the WhatsApp Mentorship Group. Within the group, mentors posted predetermined questions biweekly to stimulate conversation, answer clinical practice questions, and provide access to educational media files. Results: Following participation in the WhatsApp Mentorship Group, mean informational support levels increased by a statistically significant 5% (p =.03). Conclusion: WhatsApp may be a viable option for expanding mentorship among ARNPs. Implications for Nursing: ARNPs may benefit from further inquiry into the use of WhatsApp for mentorship, including fellowships. Engagement data from this study suggest a bimodal level of mentorship perception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
