The purpose of this paper is defines scholarship and its application to nursing.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines scholarship as academic study or achievement; learning of a high level. The Oxford dictionary also defined scholarship as a grant or payment made to support a student’s education, awarded on the basis of academic or other achievement. True scholarship is reflected in both the breadth and depth of knowledge an individual has in a particular subject area. The actual topic area is irrelevant; the accomplished scholar will be able to demonstrate how the previous set of skills were used to promote a clearer understanding of the issues under scrutiny
As in other disciplines such as psychology scholarship has been defined as a five-part …show more content…
The goal was to expand the definition of scholarship so that it more accurately depicts the work of psychologists in creating, using, and transforming disciplinary-based knowledge, and so it recognizes alternative means of disseminating knowledge.
Diamond and Adams determined that six features seem to exemplify the work that most disciplines would consider “scholarship”. Those six features created the framework in which judgments of quality can be made—the assessment of quality is a critical dimension of any scholarly activity or its end product. No matter what the activity, judgments of quality are at the heart of the evaluation process.
Producing healthcare research utilizing these methods is then labeled as preferable and suitable for evidence-based practice for the discipline. This movement looms as an ever-present priority in contemporary graduate and doctoral nurse education. Scholoarship in nursing has created magnate hospitals. When applied to nursing research, empowerment of nurses leads to increased work effectiveness and production of research, increased nurse autonomy, and satisfaction and professional
