          Abstract

          Aim

          To explore registered nurse (RN) mentors' experiences of participating in the co‐creation of a digital educational resource intended to enhance mentorship practices of first‐year nursing students in clinical placement in nursing homes.

          Design

          An interpretive, descriptive qualitative study design.

          Methods

          Data were collected through two focus group interviews with 15 RN mentors ( n = 15) participating in co‐creative workshops. The co‐creative process entailed four co‐creative workshops conducted over a 17‐month period (June 2019 to end of Oct 2020). Focus group interviews were conducted following the second and third workshops (i.e., in Dec 2019 and in Oct 2020) and data were analysed using thematic analysis. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist was used to report the findings.

          Results

          The analysis identified three themes: (1) co‐creative reflective dialogues contributed to knowledge development and increased motivation among mentors; (2) the co‐creative approach facilitated and validated the nursing academic‐practice tripartite partnership; and (3) effectiveness of workshop structure in facilitating collaboration and mitigating power inequities.

          Conclusion

          A co‐creative process provides notable opportunities to advocate for mentorship needs and to enhance mentorship practices in nursing homes.

          Impact

          Our study adds to the evidence on co‐creation in nursing education, providing insights on the co‐creative process and methodology. Higher Education Institutions are uniquely positioned to act as a co‐creative arena for the academic–practice collaboration and for the development of educational resources within nursing education. Co‐creation may facilitate stronger academic–practice partnership that may more effectively impact mentorship practices in nursing homes and health care system effectiveness.

          Public Contributions

          The RNs included in the study were involved in the co‐creative process as active contributors informing the digital educational resource content and design.

            Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ): a 32-item checklist for interviews and focus groups.

            Qualitative research explores complex phenomena encountered by clinicians, health care providers, policy makers and consumers. Although partial checklists are available, no consolidated reporting framework exists for any type of qualitative design. To develop a checklist for explicit and comprehensive reporting of qualitative studies (in depth interviews and focus groups). We performed a comprehensive search in Cochrane and Campbell Protocols, Medline, CINAHL, systematic reviews of qualitative studies, author or reviewer guidelines of major medical journals and reference lists of relevant publications for existing checklists used to assess qualitative studies. Seventy-six items from 22 checklists were compiled into a comprehensive list. All items were grouped into three domains: (i) research team and reflexivity, (ii) study design and (iii) data analysis and reporting. Duplicate items and those that were ambiguous, too broadly defined and impractical to assess were removed. Items most frequently included in the checklists related to sampling method, setting for data collection, method of data collection, respondent validation of findings, method of recording data, description of the derivation of themes and inclusion of supporting quotations. We grouped all items into three domains: (i) research team and reflexivity, (ii) study design and (iii) data analysis and reporting. The criteria included in COREQ, a 32-item checklist, can help researchers to report important aspects of the research team, study methods, context of the study, findings, analysis and interpretations.

              Sample Size in Qualitative Interview Studies: Guided by Information Power

              Sample sizes must be ascertained in qualitative studies like in quantitative studies but not by the same means. The prevailing concept for sample size in qualitative studies is "saturation." Saturation is closely tied to a specific methodology, and the term is inconsistently applied. We propose the concept "information power" to guide adequate sample size for qualitative studies. Information power indicates that the more information the sample holds, relevant for the actual study, the lower amount of participants is needed. We suggest that the size of a sample with sufficient information power depends on (a) the aim of the study, (b) sample specificity, (c) use of established theory, (d) quality of dialogue, and (e) analysis strategy. We present a model where these elements of information and their relevant dimensions are related to information power. Application of this model in the planning and during data collection of a qualitative study is discussed.
