The completion of a doctoral dissertation has traditionally been an individual journey. Innovative approaches, such as the companion dissertation, are helping to shape doctoral education. The companion dissertation is a collaborative inquiry among two or more doctoral students who share mutual research interests.
Lack of innovative approaches to doctoral dissertation completion led to the development of a companion dissertation. Generative leadership, specifically focused on processes that influence interaction, served as a useful framework to support this form of innovation.
The companion dissertation process yielded consideration of differing perspectives, richer data, stronger data analysis, and robust research outcomes. Most important, this approach to research fostered student-to-student connectedness, which was essential to dissertation completion.
Currently, the attrition rate for PhD students is approximately 30%. Therefore, it becomes imperative to consider innovative approaches to completion of the dissertation process. [J Nurs Educ. 2017;56(9):564-566.].
传统上，完成博士论文是一个人的旅程。诸如同伴论文等创新方法正在帮助塑造博士教育。同伴论文是两个或更多具有共同研究兴趣的博士生之间的合作探究。
缺乏完成博士论文的创新方法促使了同伴论文的发展。生成性领导，特别是专注于影响互动的过程，为支持这种创新形式提供了一个有用的框架。
同伴论文过程产生了对不同观点的考量、更丰富的数据、更强有力的数据分析以及稳健的研究成果。最重要的是，这种研究方法促进了学生之间的联系，这对完成论文至关重要。
目前，博士生的流失率约为30%。因此，考虑创新方法来完成论文过程变得势在必行。[《护理教育杂志》。2017年；56(9):564 - 566。]
