Accreditation of transition to practice (TTP) programs is on the rise across the United States; however, few studies have investigated the effect of program recognition on health care organizations. Even less is known about the organizational value of residency/fellowship program accreditation and which measures support the long-term sustainability of these programs. The goal of this retrospective content analysis is to revisit the effect of accreditation by replicating a previous analysis of TTP programs.
An administrative survey was distributed in 2019 to TTP programs recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Practice Transition Accreditation Program (PTAP). Directed content analysis methods were used to compare thematic results on the perceived effect of accreditation with those in the original analysis.
A coding matrix was used to categorize responses into broad concept categories with subthemes. All themes from the original publication were replicated in the current analysis; additionally, new categories and subthemes emerged.
Implications from this analysis may be used by nursing leaders, educators, and policymakers to increase TTP funding and recognition, engage stakeholders in organizational improvement, and expand residency/fellowship science through professional dissemination. .
在美国，过渡实践（TTP）计划的认证呈上升趋势；然而，很少有研究调查计划认可对医疗保健组织的影响。关于居住/奖学金计划认证的组织价值以及哪些措施支持这些计划的长期可持续性，了解得就更少了。本回顾性内容分析的目的是通过复制之前对 TTP 计划的分析来重新审视认证的效果。
2019 年，向美国护士认证中心（ANCC）实践过渡认证计划（PTAP）认可的 TTP 计划分发了一份管理调查。采用定向内容分析方法将认证效果的主题结果与原始分析中的结果进行比较。
使用编码矩阵将响应分类为具有子主题的广泛概念类别。原始出版物中的所有主题都在当前分析中得到了复制；此外，还出现了新的类别和子主题。
这项分析的启示可以为护理领导者、教育者和政策制定者提供参考，以增加 TTP 资金和认可，使利益相关者参与组织改进，并通过专业传播扩大居住/奖学金科学。
