    Clinical practice is an essential part of nursing education. Mentoring competence of mentors is critical for nursing student's practical learning. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to ... describe and compare how mentors self-evaluate their mentoring competence in the clinical practice of five European countries. The data was collected from mentors who are registered nurses working in healthcare organizations in five countries: Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Spain during 2016-2019 (n=1604). Data was collected with Mentor Competence Instrument, which includes seven sum-variables and 43 items: mentoring practices in the workplace, mentor's characteristics, motivation of the mentor, goal orientation in mentoring, reflection during mentoring, student-centered evaluation and constructive feedback. The data was analyzed using statistical methods. The averages of the mentor's competence varied between 3,30-3,63 (1=completely disagree -- 4=completely agree). The highest competence was in the area of reflection during mentoring, whereas the lowest competence was in the area of mentoring practices in the workplace. The Slovenian mentors evaluated their competence highest and Italians evaluated their competence lowest. Finnish mentors evaluated their competence second lowest. The results of this study can be used for developing a mentor's competence and education. Mentors should be more aware of mentoring practices in the workplace, develop their evaluation skills and pay attention to goal orientation in mentoring. Mentor education should respond to these needs.
