Philanthropic Donor Perspectives on Supporting Nursing Excellence in a Community Hospital.
Journal of Nursing Administration 2016 November
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research is to explore donors' perspectives on support of nursing excellence in a community hospital.
BACKGROUND: Philanthropic support is rapidly becoming critical to support nursing excellence in hospitals, including continuing education, nursing research, and professional development. However, no research has examined the experience of private donors who support nursing programs in community hospitals.
METHODS: Structured interviews were conducted with individuals with a history of providing significant financial support (gifts >$50 000) targeted specifically for nursing in a 176- bed community hospital in the southeastern United States. Analysis was performed using descriptive content analysis.
RESULTS: Four themes emerged that centered around making a difference, helping nurses meet new challenges, an existing foundation of service, and valuing excellent nursing care received.
CONCLUSIONS: This research provides specific information that nursing administrators can use when seeking philanthropic gifts to support nursing excellence programs in US community hospitals.
