Status of scholarly productivity among nursing academics in Malawi.

Abstract

Although clinical and community services, teaching, and supervision of students is valued in academic nursing, promotion of faculty is mainly driven by publications in peer-reviewed journals (1,2). Kitson (3) has reported on the four essential elements of university education: a) enabling students to acquire skills and knowledge in preparation for the job market, b) equipping students with problem-solving skills, c) generation of new knowledge for the benefit of the (nursing) profession and the wider community, and d) transmission and preservation of society’s values. There is, however, not always consensus on how to balance the importance of teaching, nursing practice, and publications for tenure and promotion (4).
