Summary
Transitioning nurse anesthetists to academia faces challenges. Key factors include mentorship, orientation, and work-life balance, with a lack of specific support identified for this group.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Education
- Nursing Academia
- Workforce Development
Background:
- Healthcare workforce shortages impact all sectors, including education.
- Barriers to recruitment and retention in academia are known, but specific factors for nurse anesthetists transitioning from clinical practice are unclear.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review to identify factors influencing the transition of nurse anesthetists from clinical practice to academic roles.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review was performed using the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
- Searches were conducted in MEDLINE and CINAHL databases, with article selection by independent reviewers.
- Findings were synthesized into a comprehensive table, identifying seven key themes.
Main Results:
- Seven themes emerged: mentorship (82%), orientation (47%), work-life balance (41%), early identification and empowerment (18%), pedagogical training (41%), faculty compensation (29%), and alternative faculty positions (23%).
- Existing educator support strategies primarily target undergraduate nursing, nurse practitioners, and midwifery, not nurse anesthetists.
Conclusions:
- Significant gaps exist in understanding and supporting the transition of nurse anesthetists into academic positions.
- Further research is needed to develop targeted strategies for educating, supporting, and evaluating this transition process.
