BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: A qualitative study was designed to explore facilitators and barriers to success from the perspectives of self-identified mid-career nurse scientists.
Data were collected from 84 respondents using open-ended items as part of an electronic survey of self-identified mid-career nurse scientists who were members of regional nursing research societies.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Two main themes emerged: "Perceived Realities" and "What's Needed to Achieve Career Success." Mid-career nurse scientists experience both joy from teaching and research roles and dissatisfaction with research support; difficulty balancing heavy teaching workload, administrative responsibilities, and research, and ineffective mentoring. Based on the challenges in their environment, respondents identified numerous ways to enhance career success including (1) increasing or enhancing release time for research activities, (2) formal infrastructure to support research activities, and (3) targeted, effective mentoring by senior scientists.
背景/目的：本研究旨在从自我认同的中级护理科学家的角度出发，利用定性研究来探讨成功的促进因素和障碍。
研究数据来源于 84 名参与者，他们通过电子调查回答了开放式问题，这些参与者是地区护理研究协会的自我认同的中级护理科学家。
讨论/结论：两个主要主题出现：“感知现实”和“实现职业成功所需的条件”。中级护理科学家在教学和研究角色中都感到快乐，同时对研究支持感到不满；他们难以平衡繁重的教学工作量、行政职责和研究工作，以及缺乏有效的指导。基于他们所处环境的挑战，受访者确定了许多增强职业成功的方法，包括：（1）增加或加强研究活动的时间，（2）正式的基础设施以支持研究活动，以及（3）由资深科学家提供有针对性和有效的指导。
