Faculty of color are crucial to the development of a diverse nursing workforce but remain underrepresented in nursing academia.
The purpose of this current study is to identify elements of support received and desired by nursing faculty of color for retention and promotion in academia.
A semi-structured interview was used to collect data from 16 faculty of color from nursing schools across the United States. Conventional content analysis was used to identify emerging themes.
An analysis of the interviews revealed six major themes pertaining to mechanisms of support for faculty of color: Instill inclusive excellence; value diversity in leadership; intentional faculty development; mentoring to belong; uniqueness of the lived experience; and harnessing the power of networks.
This study identifies insights important to the support and development of a diverse nursing academia and discusses implications for academic institutions seeking to enhance support for nursing faculty of color.
有色人种教员对于多元化护理人才队伍的发展至关重要，但在护理学术界的代表性仍然不足。
本研究的目的是确定有色人种护理教员在学术界留任和晋升时所获得的支持要素以及他们所期望的支持要素。
采用半结构化访谈从美国各地护理学院的16名有色人种教员收集数据。使用常规内容分析法确定新出现的主题。
对访谈的分析揭示了与支持有色人种教员的机制相关的六个主要主题：灌输包容性卓越；重视领导力中的多样性；有针对性的教员发展；归属感指导；生活经历的独特性；以及利用网络的力量。
本研究确定了对多元化护理学术界的支持和发展很重要的见解，并讨论了对寻求加强对有色人种护理教员支持的学术机构的启示。
