The need for an accessible master's degree program was determined through informal communication between practicing nurses and nursing educators. The purpose of the descriptive study was to project a master's degree program based on perceived future nursing practice needs. Forty-seven nurse administrators and staff nurses responded to a mailed survey (61.8%). The respondents were asked to make predictions regarding the probability of occurrence of 18 previously Delphi-generated events by the year 2000. Respondents also provided judgments regarding the degree of agreement/disagreement that various content items would be critical to survival in practice and best learned in a master's degree program. Most respondents agreed that general education content items were both critical to survival and best learned by master's education. Less strong agreement that nursing content items were critical to survival and best learned in a master's degree program was an unexpected finding. A multidisciplinary master's program for all health-care professionals was proposed.
通过在职护士与护理教育工作者之间的非正式交流，确定了对一个易于获得的硕士学位项目的需求。该描述性研究的目的是根据对未来护理实践需求的认知来规划一个硕士学位项目。47名护士管理人员和护士对邮寄的调查问卷做出了回应（回复率为61.8%）。受访者被要求预测到2000年之前18个先前通过德尔菲法得出的事件发生的可能性。受访者还就各种内容项目对于实践中的生存至关重要以及在硕士学位项目中最适合学习的程度提供了同意/不同意的判断。大多数受访者认为通识教育内容项目对于生存至关重要且最适合通过硕士教育来学习。对于护理内容项目对于生存至关重要且最适合在硕士学位项目中学习的认同度较低，这是一个意外发现。有人提议为所有医疗保健专业人员设立一个多学科硕士项目。
