The dissertation is one of the most important vehicles for providing the novice researcher with the necessary socialization for a future of productive and scholarly research activities. Research productivity and the scholarliness of research are needed in developing nursing science. In this article, the processes that have the potential to enhance the quality of the doctoral dissertation are addressed; the psychological, social, and structural processes involved in completing a quality dissertation are delineated and discussed; and a model for the development of scholarliness and scholarship in doctoral programs is presented. The authors address three major areas for consideration: (a) the dependence of scholarship and scholarliness on researchable questions that are important, evolve in the context of theoretical considerations, and improve the scientific base of nursing knowledge; (b) the development of these qualities as enhanced by the resolution of several dilemmas that revolve around decisions made throughout the dissertation process; and (c) the recomendation that these qualities (scholarship and scholarliness) be fostered meticulously during doctoral education in nursing and, preferably, earlier.
论文是为新手研究者提供必要的社会化过程，以使其未来能开展富有成效的学术研究活动的最重要工具之一。发展护理科学需要研究生产力和研究的学术性。本文探讨了有可能提高博士论文质量的过程；阐述并讨论了完成高质量论文所涉及的心理、社会和结构过程；并提出了一个博士项目中学术性和学术发展的模型。作者探讨了三个主要需要考虑的方面：（a）学术性和学术水平对重要的、在理论考量背景下演变且能改善护理知识科学基础的可研究问题的依赖性；（b）通过解决围绕论文过程中所做决策的几个困境来提升这些品质；（c）建议在护理博士教育期间，最好更早地精心培养这些品质（学术性和学术水平）。
