To better understand how oncology nurses (a) navigate graduate studies; (b) perceive the impact of their academic work on their clinical practice, and vice versa; and (c) engage with clinical settings following graduate work.
Interpretive descriptive cross-sectional survey.
A qualitative exploratory web-based survey exploring integration of graduate studies and clinical nursing practice.
About 87 participants from seven countries responded. 71% were employed in clinical settings, 53% were enrolled in/graduated from Master's programs; 47% were enrolled in/graduated from doctoral programs. Participants had diverse motivations for pursuing graduate studies and improving clinical care. Participants reported graduate preparation increased their ability to provide quality care and conduct research. Lack of time and institutional structures were challenges to integrating clinical work and academic pursuits.
Given the many constraints and numerous benefits of nurses engaging in graduate work, structures and strategies to support hybrid roles should be explored.
更好地了解肿瘤护士（a）如何完成研究生学习；（b）感知其学术工作对临床实践的影响，反之亦然；以及（c）研究生毕业后如何参与临床环境。
解释性描述性横断面调查。
一项定性探索性网络调查，探讨研究生学习与临床护理实践的整合。
来自七个国家的约 87 名参与者做出了回应。71%的人在临床环境中工作，53%的人在硕士课程中入学/毕业；47%的人在博士课程中入学/毕业。参与者有不同的动机来追求研究生学习和改善临床护理。参与者报告说，研究生准备工作提高了他们提供优质护理和进行研究的能力。时间和机构结构的缺乏是整合临床工作和学术追求的挑战。
鉴于护士从事研究生工作的诸多限制和众多好处，应该探索支持混合角色的结构和策略。
