Abstract
AimThis study aims to develop a free, limited-edition workshop as an effective knowledge translation strategy to enhance nurse leader-perceived self-efficacy for competence using Park’s Sweet Spot Theory and to evaluate its effectiveness over time.MethodThis is a study showing the process of developing a study protocol and its details.ResultsA 2-day workshop was developed for innovators and early adopters among nurse leaders with a macro-level influence based on Rogers’s diffusion of innovations theory, which consists of an introduction of Park’s Sweet Spot Theory, hands-on experience, a summary session, and a presentation of a certificate of completion. The workshop will be held at the University of Alberta Faculty of Nursing, using the “enabling blends” mode. A hybrid design of comparative effectiveness research and analysis of change will be utilized to assess nurse leader-perceived self-efficacy.CONCLUSIONThis protocol is significant as the first step in providing scientific rationales on how to effectively implement new knowledge—optimal safe nurse staffing levels derived from Park’s Sweet Spot Theory—into the right (safe yet efficient) nursing workforce policy-making to alleviate global nursing shortages.
