The McMaster Mohawk Conestoga Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program, established in 2000, brought together three nursing programs from one university and two colleges. The existing university curriculum, which used a problem-based, small-group and student-centred approach, was implemented at all three sites. Considerable adjustments were required by faculty as they adapted to a collaborative approach in implementing this nursing curriculum. Q-methodology was used to identify nursing faculty viewpoints about the collaborative program experience. Sixty-one participants from the three sites completed a 50-item Q-sort representing their statements about collaboration. Data were analyzed using PQMethod version 2.11. Six salient viewpoints were identified: Champions of Collaboration, Proponents of Scholarship and Clinical, Critics of Collaboration, Defenders of McMaster Curriculum, Acceptors of Collaboration and Detractors of the Partnership. On the whole, the collaboration has been a success and a spirit of cooperation prevails. However, a number of faculty issues were identified that should be addressed. The results will be of value to other collaborative nursing programs as they work together to foster faculty commitment and collegiality.
麦克马斯特-莫霍克-康尼斯托加护理学理学学士合作项目于2000年设立，整合了一所大学和两所学院的三个护理项目。现有的大学课程采用基于问题、小组讨论和以学生为中心的教学方法，在所有三个地点实施。教师在适应以合作方式实施这一护理课程时需要进行相当大的调整。采用Q方法来确定护理教师对合作项目体验的观点。来自三个地点的61名参与者完成了一份由50项陈述组成的Q分类，这些陈述代表了他们对合作的看法。使用PQMethod 2.11版本对数据进行分析。确定了六个显著观点：合作拥护者、学术与临床支持者、合作批评者、麦克马斯特课程捍卫者、合作接受者和伙伴关系诋毁者。总体而言，合作取得了成功，合作精神盛行。然而，也发现了一些需要解决的教师问题。这些结果对于其他合作护理项目在共同努力培养教师的投入度和合作精神时具有参考价值。
