Peer groups of nursing students met five times per semester. Data from experimental (n=45, n=22) and control (n=44, n=31) groups in spring and fall were collected at three points. Emotional well-being and professional socialization were not enhanced by group experiences; 40% described the groups as completely negative. (Contains 51 references.) (SK)
