Clinical placements are an integral part of nursing education and have significant impact on nursing students' professional development. According to standards set by the European Union, the duration of clinical placements should account for at least one half of the minimum duration of nursing programs. Also, students must complete training under the supervision of qualified nursing staff (Directive 2013/55/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council). Nursing staff are responsible for the mentoring of students during completion of their clinical placements. The role of the mentor can be challenging and several studies prove that providing continuing education to mentors can be effective in developing mentors' competence in mentoring. There is an urgent need to add issues related to the development of mentors' cultural competence into mentoring education. This is due to the rapid increase of cultural and linguistic diversity within the nursing workforce and the increase in the numbers of students from international backgrounds. This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention to develop mentors' cultural competence and their competence in mentoring nursing students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
