“…Academic service collaborative agreements allow schools nursing programs and health care organizations to share resources, talented professionals, and nancial resources in arrangements that can be mutually bene cial [52]. Literature on these alliances has demonstrated (a) successful student transition into professional practice, as well as retention of students as future staff nurses; (b) changes in the role of staff RNs (clinical ladder, integration into the education area, and mentoring future staff); (c) expansion of educational learning capacities for schools of nursing; (d) commitment of healthcare organizations to retain future nursing staff, reduce orientation time, and offer opportunities for research; and (e) improved patient and staff satisi cation [41,16,53,54].…”

“…Highlights of the AACN report revealed (a) academic nursing is not aligned to be an equal partner in the administration of health care, (b) academic service alliances are not cultivated to the fullest capacity, and (c) funding of initiatives for program expansion is not readily available. Collaboration of academia with hospital organizations has mutual bene ts [47,16,53]. This alliance has been found to enhance clinical learning cultures, promote the generation of research, improve evidencebased patient care delivery, and allow for career development of the preceptor RN [47,16].…”

Background: Recipients of health care in the 21st century demand excellent patient-centered care and outcomes. Leaders of health care organizations, as well as political and national organizations, have focused their attention to the readiness of newly graduated baccalaureate of science in nursing prepared nurses to care for patients. Bridging the gap from nursing science theory to professional practice remains a challenge for nursing programs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the clinical learning practice settings on the individual student’s development of clinical judgment skills. Methods: This quantitative comparative pilot study evaluated the unlicensed BSN student’s ability to demonstrate safe and effective patient care before and after exposure to a clinical learning setting. This project involved applying a progressive simulation experience with a quantitative pretest (prior to clinical exposure) and posttest (after clinical exposure) to determine the impact of two nursing clinical learning models, a traditional clinical model and a dedicated education model, on individual students’ development of clinical judgment. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24. Results: Students in the dedicated education clinical learning model demonstrated statistically significant change in the pre- and post-test scores improvement in their clinical judgment competency. Conclusions: Although both clinical models provided evidence in support of student development of the professional competency of clinical judgment, there is a need to continue to evaluate the long-term impact of this model on student learning outcomes.

“…Students have to be engaged in practice and apply what is learned in the classroom to the real world (Khalil, 2015). An internship or academic-service partnership can transmit theoretical knowledge to practice and expand students' capacities (Murray & James, 2012;De Geest et al, 2013). Educators, students, and practical experts not only share knowledge with each other, but also explore new knowledge fields by participating in internships.…”

The research proposes an analytic framework to configure the policy portfolio for diffusing knowledge embedded in higher-education institutes. A modified Delphi method was first proposed to derive the key factors for enabling and enhancing the diffusion mechanism. The influence relationships between these factors were derived using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL). The analytic network process (ANP) derived weights associated with the key factors. Finally, the Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was used to derive the policy instruments based on the Grey Relationships between the key factors and the policy instruments. An empirical study based on Taiwanese highereducation institutes also/then verified the feasibility of the proposed analytic framework. These findings suggest that research and development activities, publications, and networks of academic exchange play primary roles in knowledge diffusion in highereducation institutions. Motivation, human resources, and investment are the most important policy instruments to use for improving knowledge diffusion in the highereducation system.

“…So partnership programs between nursing schools and teaching hospitals could also address many of their challenges. In particular, this type of partnership programs is one of the best ways to reduce the gap between theory and practice as a serious and the old challenge in nursing profession [1,[9][10][11]. In nursing, academic-service partnership program is defined as a consistent and organized collaboration based on strategic relationships between educational and clinical institutions that are established to attain their mutual benefits in the field of care, education, and research [1,6].…”

Background: The first step for the establishment of academic-service partnership programs is identification of mutual benefits. The rate of achievement of these benefits reflects the success rate of the partnership program. This study aimed to develop an achieving mutual benefits scale in nursing academic-service partnership programs. Method: The AMBS was developed based on an analysis of the concept of mutual benefits in nursing academic-service partnership programs by the hybrid model approach. Findings of the concept analysis study was used to produce items pool. Then, the psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated using face, content and construct validities, and internal consistency, and stability for reliability. Results: The AMBS consists of 44 items. Exploratory factors analysis supported six factor with an explained variance of 59.06%. The Cronbach’s α, and Omega coefficient of the scale respectively ranged from 0.77 to 0.93, and 0.75 to 0.9. The content validity index of 0.97, and internal consistency of 0.76 were obtained for the final scale. Conclusions: The AMBS is a valid and reliable scale for the measurement of the mutual benefits achievement rate in nursing academic-service partnership programs in six dimensions of research synergy, managers' synergy in the student education, development of nursing services, reducing the theory-practice gap, and access to the supportive learning environment. It is necessary to consider all dimensions in organizing these programs and assessing the success rate of them.
