“…The benefits of effective mentoring in the tertiary sector include greater recruitment and retention of junior faculty (Louie et al, 2011;Nick et al, 2012), prevention of burnout in senior staff, improved teaching and student learning (Gerolamo & Roemer, 2011;Shirey, 2006;Smith & Zsohar, 2007) and increased scholarly output (Louie et al, 2011). Good mentoring enhances both career success and job satisfaction (Chung & Kowolski, 2012;Gerolamo & Roemer, 2011;Perna & Lerner, 1995). This is significant as these factors have both been found to influence decisions regarding whether to remain in employment (Tourangeau et al, 2010).…”

“…This resonates with previous research which found that academics with mentors have greater socio-emotional support, greater job satisfaction and had less intention of leaving the faculty in the immediate future (Wasserstein, Quistberg & Shea, 2007). However, despite the reported benefits of mentorship for faculty, many nurse academics do not have an identified mentor (Chung & Kowalski, 2012;Gerolamo & Roemer, 2011;Singh et al, 2014).…”

(2015). Walking alongside: a qualitative study of the experiences and perceptions of academic nurse mentors supporting early career nurse academics. Contemporary Nurse, 51 (1), 69-82.Walking alongside: a qualitative study of the experiences and perceptions of academic nurse mentors supporting early career nurse academics AbstractPurpose: This study explores the experiences and perceptions of academic nurse mentors supporting early career nurse academics (ECNAs). Methods: Interviews were undertaken with mentors following a mentoring partnership with ECNAs. Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using a process of thematic analysis. Findings: Four themes emerged from the data, namely; motivation for mentoring; constructing the relationship; establishing safe boundaries and managing expectations. Conclusions: This study provides a unique insight into the experiences of mentoring within the context of an academic leadership programme for nurses. Such insights highlight the issues facing academics from professional disciplines and can inform strategies to support their career development. Clinical relevance: A sustainable academic nursing workforce is crucial to ensure that effective preparation of future generations of expert clinical nurses. Therefore, it is important to consider strategies that could strengthen the academic nursing workforce. Methods: Interviews were undertaken with mentors following a mentoring partnership with early career nurse academics, embedded within a leadership development program. Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using a process of thematic analysis. Disciplines Medicine and Health Sciences | Social and Behavioral Sciences Findings:Four themes emerged from the data, namely; motivation for mentoring; constructing the relationship; establishing safe boundaries; and managing expectations. Whilst all mentors were committed to developing and supporting their mentees, all felt that the relationships primarily existed to meet the mentees needs. Conclusions:With the aging nurse academic workforce there is a need for succession planning and professional development of early career academics. This study provides a unique insight into the experiences of mentoring within the context of an academic leadership program for nurses. Such insights highlight the issues facing academics from professional disciplines and can inform strategies to support their career development.Clinical relevance: A sustainable academic nursing workforce is crucial to ensure that effective preparation of future generations of expert clinical nurses. Therefore, it is important to consider strategies that could strengthen the academic nursing workforce.

“…If DNP holders who are active in scholarly practice and/or QI efforts are to be attracted to faculty positions, they must be assured their contributions in these areas are recognized sufficiently in workload calculations. There is already concern about the impact of workload and faculty shortage (Gerolamo & Roemer, 2011). Developing programs for which workload calculations are incomplete will further deter the type of faculty workload research Gerolamo and Roemer (2011) have identified as essential.…”

“…Providing adequate faculty members has been very obvious in medical schools. Medical members are increasingly considered as the most important capital of medicine schools (2) because of their specific responsibilities beside common roles that all faculties have (3,4). Thus, every faculty of medicine needs sufficient numbers of qualified members in order to accomplish the assigned tasks (5).…”

Background: No specific model has been developed so far to determine the number of clinical faculty members required for medical schools as the most important and most costly workforce. Objectives: Since any action in this regard needs to understand the current status, this study aimed to identify the factors and variables involved in staffing of medical schools in Iran. Methods:This was an analytical descriptive study conducted with qualitative approach in early 2016. Participants included 15 educational deputies of Medical Sciences Universities in Iran who were selected through purposeful intensity sampling. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis via seven-stage framework analysis. Results: Five categories of factors were identified to affect the number of clinical faculties in Medical Sciences Universities of Iran, namely "faculties' functions and range of work", "characteristics of faculty members", "features of the faculties' service delivery location", "department/major properties", and "dominating objectives and policies". Conclusions: A variety of subjective and inaccurate factors are considered for estimating the required number of clinical faculties in Iran among which only a few are the same as criteria for other faculties. The prerequisites that organize the factors and components in the form of a system are: clearly determining the responsibility of clinical education space and then, defining relatively identical financial incentives for various functions of faculty members.
