Aims of this study were to identify the Association of Community/Public Health Nursing Educators members' demographics, educational preparation, and research competencies; and, to complete a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis.
A descriptive-correlational design was employed. Primary data collection was via electronic survey. Authors developed a survey focusing on demographics and aligning Benner's theory with research skills/experience. SWOT and gap analyses were performed.
A 27.2% response rate (N = 352) revealed a lack of diversity among 70% doctorally prepared membership, perceived competence with interprofessional collaboration (80%), and applying research to practice (80%). Doctorally prepared members reported experience using longitudinal designs (p = .05). PhD-prepared members reported experience using psychometrics and evaluations (p = .05). SWOT revealed a lack of service engagement. Gap analysis offered solutions to execute strategic goals.
Association of Community/Public Health Nursing Educators may enhance future direction by advancing member diversity, professional development, collaborative scholarship, and mentoring.
本研究旨在确定社区/公共卫生护理教育者协会成员的人口统计学特征、教育背景和研究能力，并进行优势、劣势、机会和威胁（SWOT）分析。
采用描述性相关设计。主要数据收集是通过电子调查进行的。作者开发了一项调查，重点关注人口统计学，并将 Benner 的理论与研究技能/经验相结合。进行了 SWOT 和差距分析。
27.2%的回复率（N=352）显示，70%具有博士学历的成员缺乏多样性，认为自己在跨专业合作方面有能力（80%），并将研究应用于实践（80%）。具有博士学历的成员报告说有使用纵向设计的经验（p=.05）。具有博士学历的成员报告说有使用心理计量学和评估的经验（p=.05）。SWOT 分析显示缺乏服务参与。差距分析提供了执行战略目标的解决方案。
社区/公共卫生护理教育者协会可以通过提高成员的多样性、专业发展、合作奖学金和指导来增强未来的方向。
