abstract = "Background: Many challenges are inherent in academic nursing, and additional unique challenges exist for faculty and nursing programs that simultaneously engage in or offer faculty practice. To date, little has been published on faculty practice and academic nursing outside of the mission of education. Purpose: To describe faculty practice within the context of academic nursing as it pertains to scholarship and research, annual evaluations, promotion, support of faculty practice, and additional benefits and challenges. Methods: A convenience sample of faculty and administrators was surveyed from 6 different universities in the United States. Results: A total of 25 faculty members and 11 administrators participated. Results indicate faculty practice offers both benefits and challenges to the noneducational aspects of academic nursing. Conclusion: The benefits and challenges should be carefully considered within the context of the future of academic nursing and faculty practice.",

note = "Funding Information: This study provides additional information on faculty practice within the context of academic nursing as it pertains to scholarship and research, annual evaluations, promotion, support of faculty practice, balance, and additional benefits and challenges. Regarding scholarship and research, faculty indicated faculty practice provides the basis for their scholarship/research by providing context and connection to their research interest. Faculty reported more confidence in scholarship/research and faculty practice positively impacting scholarship/research; this was further supported by the themes of collaboration, recruitment, and site for data collection. These findings support faculty practice as benefiting scholarship and research and are also supported by the literature. However, whether faculty who engage in faculty practice have more or fewer scholarship/research outcomes is unclear. Insufficient time was noted to be a challenge of faculty practice and scholarship/research. Although workload adjustments are often made to allow for time spent in faculty practice, findings suggest that a one-to-one adjustment may be insufficient. Literature on this subject is also sparse; therefore, additional examination is warranted. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2023 The Author(s).",
