Main Methods:
- Descriptive correlational study utilizing the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS).
- Sample included 478 APRN faculty from across the United States.
Main Results:
- Majority of APRN faculty reported moderate to frequent impostor phenomenon scores.
- Moderate IP levels correlated with decreased job satisfaction and increased burnout.
- Age, years of teaching, and associate professor rank were significant predictors of IP.
Conclusions:
- Findings suggest strategies to enhance job satisfaction and reduce burnout among APRN faculty.
- Interventions may improve recruitment and retention within APRN faculty roles.

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
