Ketepatan identifikasi pasien termasuk dalam sasaran keselamatan pasien dan menjadi kompetensi yang harus dimiliki oleh semua perawat termasuk perawat baru. Di sisi lain perawat baru menghadapi masa transisi selama satu tahun pertama masa kerjanya sebagai proses adaptasi. Kegiatan mentoring selama masa orientasi dapat membantu perawat baru untuk melewati masa transisi dengan baik dan dapat mencapai target kompetensinya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kegiatan mentoring pada kompetensi perawat baru dalam ketepatan identifikasi pasien di rumah sakit. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode Quasi-experiment dengan pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group. Sampel mentor yang mengikuti penelitian ini sebanyak 6 orang. Sampel perawat baru yang diteliti sebanyak 20 orang pada kelompok intervensi dan 20 orang pada kelompok kontrol. Pada kelompok intervensi dilakukan intervensi berupa kegiatan mentoring dan pada kelompok kontrol tetap melakukan aktivitas tanpa kegiatan mentoring. Pengambilan data dilakukan sebelum dilakukan intervensi dan sesudah intervensi, menggunakan kuesioner pengetahuan, sikap, dan lembar observasi keterampilan perawat. Nilai rerata kompetensi mentor pascapelatihan mentor adalah 93,74 5,59 baik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada pengaruh yang bermakna pelaksanaan kegiatan mentoring pada perubahan kompetensi perawat baru tentang ketepatan identifikasi pasien p=0,001. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan mentoring yang dilaksanakan pada masa orientasi perawat baru dapat membantu perawat baru mencapai kompetensinya di masa transisi. Peneliti merekomendasikan agar kegiatan mentoring dijadikan program rutin pendampingan bagi perawat baru selama masa transisi 1 tahun pertama. Program mentoring dapat juga dilaksanakan untuk membantu perawat memasuki jenjang karir perawat klinis.
