Background: A 2010 study of preceptorship as a clinical teaching model in Ghana revealed weaknesses related to high student-preceptor ratios and inadequate support from faculty in the educational institution. A four-cycle community-based participatory action research study was designed to further delineate clinical teaching and learning issues and partner with Ghanaian stakeholders in critical analysis of possibilities for positive change in clinical nursing education. The purpose of this paper, taken from Cycle One of the study, is to provide understanding of the challenges of the current clinical teaching model(s) used in the study institution from the perspectives of students and faculty. Early engagement of external stakeholders is described. Methods: Each university target group was invited to complete a semi-structured questionnaire. Interviews were conducted with representatives from the Ministry of Health, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana, and the Ghana Registered Nurses' and Midwives' Association. Clinical documents were examined. Results: Clinical teaching and learning issues identified included the need for: a) more effective clinical teaching and supervision; b) adequate equipment for practice; c) meaningful evaluation of performance; d) enhanced collaboration between the school and clinical settings; and, e) reduced travel time to clinical opportunities. External stakeholders became aware and supportive of the research endeavour. Conclusions: Participants acknowledged changes are needed in order to improve clinical nursing education in Ghana. Clinical teaching and learning issues were identified and formed a baseline from which more in-depth discussion of resources, constraints and possibilities for change could ensue in subsequent cycles of the study.

“…Similarly, Adams et al, (2006) Beheshtifar and Shariatifar (2013) and Zheng et al (2010) reported significant relationship between organizational structure, culture and innovation. Further, Apekey et al, (2011), Melnyk and Davidson (2009) and Tahseen (2013) found that organizational culture and leadership promote innovation. Rainey (2006) and Muller et al (2005) also found significant relationship between organizational strategy, leadership and innovation.…”

The study proposes an organizational design framework that impacts innovation in corporate firms. In an emerging economy like Oman, innovation helps to reduce the dependence on oil revenues and enhance its international competitiveness. However, the corporate organizations in emerging economies are unable to innovate effectively because they are not designed for innovation. Further, scarcity of resources undermines their readiness for innovation. This study empirically validates measures of an entrepreneurial organizational design framework in Omani corporate sector. In order to explain how a corporate organizational design promotes innovation and clarify the missing links between corporate entrepreneurial activity and innovation, the mediating role of readiness for innovation (RFI) is tested. Using a quantitative research approach, data is collected from 401 corporate firms in Oman and analysed using structural equation modelling. The findings support the proposition that entrepreneurial organizational design promotes both radical and incremental innovation degree and frequency, while RFI partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial inputs and innovation outputs. The study contributes to the understanding of innovation in emerging economies as it explains that RFI helps firms to enhance its innovation potential by optimizing its resources, capabilities and processes for innovation. These measures are essential for organizations, particularly in emerging economies focused on low cost innovation. The findings of the study will inform managerial decision-making in terms of designing organizations for innovation and implementation of measures related to readiness for innovation.

“…Mutually beneficial academic-clinical partnerships are both an indicator and a driver of innovation; “the solving of real-world complex healthcare problems is sparked and enhanced through interdisciplinary partnerships” (Melnyk & Davidson, 2009). Healthy partnerships can benefit students and their university or college, as well as help health care institutions earn special notation from their Magnet® reviewers (Moscato, Miller, Logsdon, Weinberg, & Chorpenning, 2007) and increase staff satisfaction.…”

Opportunities for research-focused doctoral education must be available to nurses early in their careers in order to ensure the further development of nursing science. Early entry into the research doctorate through an integrated BSN-PhD program is one innovative approach. This approach highlights the value of integrating post-licensure clinical training into the doctoral curriculum. To better prepare innovative nurse scientists early in their careers we developed a clinical nurse fellowship within an integrated BSN-PhD program in partnership with an affiliated health system. The aims of this clinical fellowship are to integrate post-licensure clinical experience with academic preparation, cultivate scholarly reflection on the connections between research and practice, educate nurse researchers to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, and develop nurses’ contributions to health care innovation. Major considerations for the development of similar clinical training opportunities include clarifying and articulating the major aims of the fellowship, enlisting the support of executive clinical leadership, and placing fellows on nursing units with experienced and advanced nursing teams and management that supports the fellowship’s aims. We emphasize the fully integrated and collaborative activities, decision-making, and commitment required of both academic and health system partners to successfully implement similar clinical training opportunities.
