Limited research about nursing mentorship in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is holding science back. This article describes the strengths and challenges associated with global health research mentorship for doctorally prepared nurses whose scholarship focuses on LMICs. Using reflexive narrative accounts from current and former nurse mentors and nurse mentees who participated in a NIH-funded global health doctoral research program, emerging themes revealed the perspectives of mentors and mentees, producing a global health mentoring model for nursing research mentorship relevant to LMICs. Identified themes, which applied across roles and primary affiliations, included 1) collaborative mentor-mentee relationships and 2) enthusiasm for global health nursing. Our global health nursing research mentor-mentee interaction systems conceptual model focuses on nursing science mentoring in LMICs incorporating interpersonal, institutional, and cultural factors. We describe successful components of global nurse researcher mentorship and summarize directions for future research in the field. Our model can be used to create more effective mentee-centered mentoring for nurses or health professionals conducting global research. To advance science, we encourage doctorally prepared nurses to support mentee-centered research mentorship experiences that are sensitive to the unique needs of interdisciplinary global health scholarship.
在中低收入国家（LMICs），关于护理指导的研究有限，这阻碍了科学的发展。本文描述了针对专注于 LMICs 的博士准备护士的全球健康研究指导的优势和挑战。使用来自参与 NIH 资助的全球健康博士研究计划的现任和前任护士导师和护士学员的反思性叙述性叙述，出现的主题揭示了导师和学员的观点，为护理研究指导生成了一个与 LMICs 相关的全球健康指导模型。确定的主题适用于各种角色和主要关系，包括 1）协作的导师-学员关系和 2）对全球健康护理的热情。我们的全球健康护理研究导师-学员互动系统概念模型侧重于在 LMICs 中进行护理科学指导，其中包括人际关系、机构和文化因素。我们描述了全球护士研究员指导的成功组成部分，并总结了该领域未来研究的方向。我们的模型可用于为从事全球研究的护士或卫生专业人员创建更有效的以学员为中心的指导。为了推进科学，我们鼓励博士准备护士支持以学员为中心的研究指导，这些指导应考虑到跨学科全球健康奖学金的独特需求。
