Guiding steps for a student-focused academic-practice partnership: Building clinical nursing capacity
Linda Hickman1, Mary Etta Mills1
1University of Maryland, Baltimore, United States of America.
Summary
Academic-practice partnerships are crucial for addressing nursing workforce shortages. A student-focused approach, exemplified by the University of Maryland School of Nursing, provides a model for building clinical nursing capacity and advancing the profession.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Workforce Development
- Academic-Practice Collaboration
Background:
- Significant nursing workforce and faculty shortages challenge academic institutions and healthcare organizations.
- Academic-practice partnerships are recognized as vital bridges between education and clinical practice.
- Collaboration between the American Organization of Nurse Leaders and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing since 2010 highlights the importance of these partnerships.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a strategic approach for academic and healthcare organizations to align and address nursing workforce needs.
- To offer a step-by-step guide for developing student-focused partnerships that build clinical nursing capacity.
- To present a model example of a successful partnership addressing regional nursing workforce and faculty challenges.
Main Methods:
- Development of a step-by-step guide for establishing student-focused academic-practice partnerships.
- Illustrating the guide's application through a case study of the University of Maryland School of Nursing and 22 Maryland hospital organizations.
- Focusing on a strategic approach to align educational and clinical settings for workforce development.
Main Results:
- The article provides a practical guide and a replicable model for creating academic-practice partnerships.
- The University of Maryland School of Nursing and partner hospitals demonstrated a successful model for addressing regional workforce shortages.
- The partnership model effectively addresses both nursing faculty and workforce challenges through educational advancement.
Conclusions:
- Student-focused academic-practice partnerships are an effective strategy for mitigating nursing workforce and faculty shortages.
- The proposed guide and model can assist academic nursing and healthcare organizations in joint workforce development initiatives.
- Strengthening these partnerships is essential for the advancement of the nursing profession and ensuring a competent workforce.

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

14.2K
The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.

Student's t-test in Microsoft Excel is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other. It's commonly used to evaluate hypotheses, such as testing whether a treatment has an effect compared to a control group. Excel provides built-in functions to perform t-tests, making it accessible for users needing to conduct basic statistical analysis.

6.1K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...
