Objective To understand the current implementation status of the “double tutorial system” for master of nursing specialist（MNS） students. Methods From March to April 2023，a convenient sampling method was used to select 195 MNS students as survey participants. A self-designed questionnaire on the implementation of the “double tutorial system” for MNS students and a satisfaction scale for graduate students towards their mentors were issued for the investigation. Results A total of 179 valid questionnaires were collected，with a valid recovery rate of 91.8%. Among the 179 MNS students，the most popular choice for the “double mentor” guidance mode was “guidance on demand”，with 64 students（35.8%）. Meanwhile，the least popular choice was “regular segmented guidance”，with 20 students（11.2%）. More than 90% of MNS students agreed that the “double mentors” jointly guided them in developing personalized training plans，reading literature，writing reviews，and selecting topics based on their research directions；and jointly participated in the proposal presentation，mid-term assessment（as well as pre-defense and defense sessions）. Specifically，the satisfaction scores of MNS students towards their first mentors were higher than those towards their second mentors[5.00（4.66，5.00） vs. 5.00（4.34，5.00）；Z=-2.491，P=0.013]. There were statistically significant differences in the satisfaction scores of MNS students receiving different forms of guidance towards their first and second mentors（P<0.05）. Conclusion The guidance form of “double tutorial” for MNS students varies greatly. Although the performance of “double mentors” in fulfilling their duties is relatively good，there is still room for improvement. MNS students hold a high level of satisfaction with the “double mentor”. Universities and colleges should strive to establish a standardized and efficient “double mentor” guidance model for MNS students，clearly define the responsibilities and roles of “double mentors”，create a regulatory mechanism as well as an incentive mechanism and regularly understand students’ opinions and feedback，eventually enhancing the effect of the “double tutorial system” and cultivation quality of the MNS students.
