Barriers and Facilitators to Implementing Holistic Admission Review in Graduate Advanced Nursing Programs
Background:
There are strong recommendations and high demand for the use of holistic admission review (HAR). However, there is no study exploring and identifying barriers and facilitators to implementing HAR in health care education programs.
Method:
This qualitative descriptive study aimed to understand the key determinants influencing the integration of HAR in graduate advanced nursing programs. Two online focus groups with content analysis were used to identify barriers and facilitators.
Results:
The findings highlight 39 key determinants of HAR implementation in the graduate advanced nursing program; the determinants included four neutral influencing factors, 18 barriers, and 17 facilitators. These influencing factors aligned with all four domains in the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and with 20 of the 39 CFIR constructs.
Conclusion:
By taking into account the facilitators and barriers, graduate advanced nursing programs may use effective implementation strategies to integrate HAR changes and guide their evolving admissions processes. [.
