1Simmons University, 300 The Fenway, Boston, MA 02115, United States of America.
Background:
For nurses to become leaders in the transformation of the future health care delivery system, they need organizational support to develop a scholarly nursing practice across a full career trajectory.
Purpose:
The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe best organizational practices that support the development and growth of a scholarly nursing practice throughout a nurse's full career progression.
Method:
Thirty-two senior nurse leaders from American Nurses Credentialing Corporation Magnet® hospitals were interviewed. Questions focused on strategies used in the workplace to support nurses' growth and development of a scholarly nursing practice. Content analysis was used to analyze data.
Results:
The following themes emerged: The Organization Creates and Sustains a Core Culture Supportive of Scholarly Nursing Practice; Expectations for Professional Development; Resources that Support Scholarly Nursing Practice; and Power of the Senior Nurse Leader. Nursing culture in the institutions led by our participants had a significant and influential impact on the overall organizational culture.
Conclusions:
A nursing culture that embraces a scholarly nursing practice environment is one that is tightly integrated with an overall institutional culture that supports nursing. Senior nurse leaders were the driving force behind the development of a culture that supports scholarly nursing practice.
