Understanding the components of faculty workload is critical to recruitment and retention of nurse educators and to success and sustainability of nursing education programs. The role of faculty advisors has been linked to student retention and success in nursing undergraduate education. Despite the importance of academic advising, there is a paucity of research examining the impact of advising on the workload of nurse educators. When faculty roles, such as academic advising, are ostensibly valued by the institution and result in higher levels of student success, but are unrecognized and unrewarded as part of the workload formula, faculty stress and burnout can result. Recommendations for faculty advising are offered, based on current evidence regarding the importance of faculty advising and the impact of advising on the workload of nurse educators. Implications for redefining nursing faculty workload formulas are discussed.
了解教师工作量的构成要素对于招聘和留住护理教育工作者以及护理教育项目的成功与可持续发展至关重要。教师顾问的角色与护理本科教育中学生的留存率和成功率相关联。尽管学业咨询很重要，但研究咨询对护理教育工作者工作量影响的研究却很少。当诸如学业咨询等教师角色表面上受到机构重视并带来更高的学生成功率，但却未被纳入工作量计算公式中得到认可和奖励时，可能会导致教师压力和职业倦怠。基于当前有关教师咨询的重要性以及咨询对护理教育工作者工作量影响的证据，提出了关于教师咨询的建议。还讨论了重新定义护理教师工作量计算公式的意义。
