Increasing the numbers of doctorally prepared nurses is essential to the continuing development of the nursing discipline. However, supervision can be fraught with relationship issues including role blurring, boundary issues, mis-matched expectations and students and supervisors not being fully equipped for doctoral training.
In this study, we sought to examine the experiences of nurses supervising doctoral students in the contemporary university environment.
Qualitative research design.
Narratives were drawn from academic nurses in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
Twenty-one doctorally qualified nurse academics with a combined total of 427 doctoral completions and 454 doctoral examinations participated.
Participants were recruited via social media and snowball sampling and interviewed face-to-face using internet platforms such as Zoom©. Interviews were recorded, selectively transcribed and thematically analysed.
Analysis of the data resulted in one overarching theme, managing the candidature, comprised of the sub-themes: managing relationships, managing expectations, managing emotions and managing labour.
Successful doctoral supervision requires considerable expertise and labour and that much of the labour associated with supervision is not recognised. In additional to the cognitive and educational aspects, are processes around personal growth, emotions and relationships. We recommend that universities consider the complexity of doctoral supervision when planning workloads and supervision training activities.
增加拥有博士学位的护士数量对于护理学科的持续发展至关重要。然而，指导过程可能充满人际关系问题，包括角色模糊、界限问题、期望不匹配以及学生和导师未完全具备博士培养所需条件。
在本研究中，我们试图考察当代大学环境中指导博士生的护士的经历。
定性研究设计。
叙述内容来自澳大利亚、美国、英国和新西兰的学术护士。
21名具有博士资格的护士学者参与其中，他们指导的博士生共有427人完成学业，454人通过博士考试。
通过社交媒体和滚雪球抽样招募参与者，并使用Zoom©等互联网平台进行面对面访谈。访谈进行录音，选择性转录并进行主题分析。
数据分析得出一个总体主题，即管理博士候选人资格，该主题由以下子主题组成：管理关系、管理期望、管理情绪和管理劳动力。
成功的博士指导需要相当多的专业知识和劳动力，而且与指导相关的许多劳动力未得到认可。除了认知和教育方面，还涉及个人成长、情绪和人际关系等过程。我们建议大学在规划工作量和指导培训活动时考虑博士指导的复杂性。
