Comparison of professional activities of nurse doctorates and other women academics.
This study compared professional activities of nurse doctorates with those of academic women doctorates in other disciplines. The Biographical-Professional Activities Questionnaire, completed by 219 respondents, assessed biographical data and six faculty indexes: primary academic function, percentage of time devoted to specific academic functions, professional publications, research grants received, consultation, and professional meetings attended. The findings indicated that teaching was the primary academic function for both groups, academic women spent significantly more time on research activities and published more journal articles, and nurse doctorates spent more time on administrative activities. Few other significant differences were found between nurse-doctorate faculty and other academic women in these research institutions when controlling for years since doctorate.
