Advancing nursing practice to improve care and system outcomes requires doctoral-prepared nurses to conduct programs of research and translate science to practice. The authors describe a Doctoral support group (DSG) at one hospital designed to support nurses considering and navigating doctoral education while continuing as hospital employees. Strategies from 18 years' experience are provided for others to develop and sustain a DSG as part of an environment to support and retain nurses with doctoral degrees.
推进护理实践以改善护理和系统成果，需要具备博士学位的护士开展研究项目并将科学转化为实践。作者描述了一家医院的博士支持小组（DSG），该小组旨在支持护士在继续担任医院员工的同时，考虑并顺利完成博士教育。文中提供了基于18年经验的策略，供其他机构建立并维持一个博士支持小组，作为支持和留住拥有博士学位护士的环境的一部分。
