目的：这篇文章的目的是讨论与为早期职业护士科学家维持研究计划相关的挑战和策略。没有完成传统博士后奖学金或在研究资源不足的机构工作的护士科学家可能会在研究合作和发展方面遇到困难。主要结果：护士科学家在早期职业发展中经历的具体挑战包括：完成研究博士学位时的高龄，性别角色和研究职业，可持续的工作与生活平衡，在研究资源不足的机构就业，以及时间。帮助护士科学家寻找研究和职业发展的支持和机会的战略包括：专业网络、机构合作、新护士科学家的非传统培训经验、可持续的工作和生活平衡、专业发展和服务以及教学任务和研究的竞争需求。主要结论：低研究资源机构的护士科学家有可能找到机会发展他们的研究项目并促进他们的职业成长。实施已确定的战略有助于为新护士科学家的研究努力提供可持续性。让护士科学家参与支持和协作的机会为早期职业护士科学家成为各自领域的专家铺平了道路。
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss challenges and strategies related to maintaining a program of research for early career nurse scientists. Nurse scientists who do not complete a traditional postdoctoral fellowship or who work in low research-resourced institutions may struggle with research collaboration and development.Principal results: Specific challenges experienced by nurse scientists in early career development included: advanced age at the completion of the research doctorate, gender roles and research careers, sustainable work-life balance, employment in low research-resourced institutions, and time. Strategies to assist nurse scientists in finding support and opportunities for research and career development included: professional networking, institutional collaboration, non-traditional training experiences for new nurse scientists, sustainable work-life balance, professional development and service, and competing needs of teaching mission and research. One group's experience with fostering support and collaboration is presented as an example.Major conclusions: It is possible for nurse scientists in low research-resourced institutions to find opportunities to develop their program of research and foster their professional growth. Implementing the identified strategies helps to provide sustainability of new nurse scientists' research efforts. Engaging nurse scientists in supportive and collaborative opportunities paves the way for early career nurse scientists to become experts in their field.
