Abstract

Background: Underrepresented student recruitment is critical to resolve persistent gaps in workforce diversity in the United States.

Purpose: Prenursing and nursing students participated in a nursing workforce diversity program designed to recruit and graduate underrepresented students, which provided academic and student support, financial support, and mentoring. A follow-up study was conducted to identify the impact of the program.

Methods: Participants were surveyed about educational and employment information, perceptions about factors that contributed to success, benefits of the program, and educational experience. Descriptive summaries of data and thematic analysis of qualitative comments occurred.

Results: Financial support, program quality, mentoring, career guidance, and meeting basic security needs were the strongest factors contributing to success. Program benefit themes included: feeling empowered, encouraging success, building confidence, and easing financial strain. Negative experiences with discrimination and bias were reported.

Conclusions: Cocurricular support can help facilitate belonging. Scholarship awards communicate belief in student success, which impacts confidence and achievement.

改善护理专业本科生和研究生多样性计划的后续行动。

背景：目的：护理学预科生和护理专业学生参加了一项护理人员多样性计划，该计划旨在招募代表性不足的学生并帮助他们毕业，同时提供学术和学生支持、经济支持和指导。为了确定该计划的影响，我们开展了一项后续研究：对参与者的教育和就业信息、对成功因素的看法、计划的益处以及教育经历进行了调查。对数据进行了描述性总结，并对定性评论进行了专题分析：结果：财政支持、计划质量、辅导、职业指导和满足基本安全需求是促成成功的最主要因素。计划的益处主题包括：感觉有力量、鼓励成功、建立信心和缓解经济压力。此外，还报告了歧视和偏见方面的负面经历：课程支持有助于促进归属感。奖学金传递了学生成功的信念，从而影响了学生的信心和成绩。
