“…Several barriers can extend the time to degree attainment, contribute to program attrition, and minimize overall scholarship productivity. Social support and program stressors have been identified as significant predictors of intent to leave nursing doctoral study in the United States (Volkert, Candela, & Bernacki, ). Support from family and friends is needed in terms of understanding the requirements of a PhD program, providing encouragement throughout the process, and offering tangible support (e.g., caregiving for child or parent; assistance with chores and errands) to alleviate day‐to‐day stressors.…”

“…Above all, the advisor or mentor selected should be a good fit for the student, having a compatible personality and working style, a common research interest, and the skillset and resources to guide the student in accomplishing the goals of the dissertation project. It is imperative that the mentor communicate with the student well, as differences in expectations between the student and advisor can impair student progress (Volkert et al, ). Additional barriers to student progress include financial issues, outside demands (e.g., work for those who are employed during their course of study), personal and family health problems, inadequate time management (Volkert et al, ), writing challenges, and difficulty focusing on a specific program of research.…”

For some students (e.g., international and racial and ethnic minority students), these barriers may be more common and pose greater risk when experienced (Walker, Golde, Jones, Bueschel, & Hutchings, ); as a result, these individuals may require additional resources and personalized support.…”

Nurse scientists play an indispensable role in developing new knowledge to advance the health of patients, families, and communities. Yet PhD nurse enrollment has significantly dropped, and many later career nurse scientists are nearing retirement. The purpose of this article is to outline potential strategies to enhance the PhD nurse pipeline. Potential strategies are identified at three distinct time points along the PhD trajectory: (a) prior to a PhD program (increasing the pipeline), (b) during a PhD program (enhancing graduation rates and transitioning into research‐focused careers), and (c) in the postdoctoral or early career period (establishing scholarly independence and an active program of research). Talented students should be approached early on in their education to ascertain interest in a scientific research‐based career, and all students could be engaged in research opportunities while in undergraduate programs. During a PhD program, supportive mentors are a key component for student success and may provide assistance in obtaining ongoing funding and scholarship support. Throughout doctoral study and into early career, less structured opportunities can be influential, including conference support, online and face‐to‐face training, and ongoing funding and scholarship support for postdoctoral study or fellowships. At each career stage, there should be a focus on designing scientifically sound nursing research that will impact outcomes in measurable and sustainable ways. We must not focus our attention only on student recruitment. Public messaging efforts are needed to raise awareness of the role of nurse researchers. In addition, several stakeholders play a role in increasing the PhD pipeline and producing independent nurse scientists, and they should be acknowledged in these efforts. The strategies described may be beneficial for any nurse contemplating a research career as well as for those who may serve as mentors to these individuals. More broadly, these strategies may be employed by colleges and universities, funding bodies, professional nursing societies, and healthcare organizations in the United States and abroad. Increasing the PhD pipeline, and fostering a more robust field of independent nurse scientists, will translate into improved patient outcomes.

“…이러한 교육 과정에서 간호학 전공 대학원생들은 일상 생활 전반의 스트레스원뿐 만 아니라 학업 과정 및 연구에 서 요구되는 다양한 도전에 직면하게 된다. 학업 과정에서 의 스트레스는 집중력 저하, 낮은 학업 성취도, 인지 기능 및 대처 능력의 감소, 학업 중단과 같은 부정적인 결과를 유발하며 (Evans et al, 2007;Mckenna et al, 2013;Volkert et al, 2018), 이러한 스트레스가 적절히 관리되 지 못하면 개인의 신체적, 정서적 안녕을 위협하게 된다 (Evans et al, 2007). 학부 학생들과 마찬가지로 간호학 전공 대학원생들 또한 학업이 진행됨에 따라 높은 수준의 스트레스를 인지하며, 학업적 부담 외에도 직장에서의 갈 등, 가정 관리의 어려움, 경제적 부담과 같은 요인들로 스 트레스를 경험하는 것으로 보고되고 있다 (Whyte et al, 2000;Maville et al, 2004;Lee KS et al, 2011).…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between stress, role conflict and quality of life among graduate students in nursing. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used. After IRB approval, the data were collected using structured questionnaires from the 98 graduate students in nursing. The data were collected from September 10 to November 30, 2018. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression by using SPSS 25.0 statistical program. Results: Nursing graduate students were experiencing more stress on their facing task than the interpersonal dimension of stress, and had the greatest difficulty in playing the role of their families due to their work and school responsibilities. Stress and role conflict of nursing graduate students were negatively correlated with quality of life. There was a significant positive correlation between stress and role conflict. The variables affecting the quality of life of nursing graduate students were identified by stress and working status. Conclusions: To improve the quality of life for nursing graduate students, it is necessary to help balance the roles between work, school, and family through appropriate stress management.
