Aim: This qualitative study sought to describe motivators and outcomes of academic nurse education certification.

Background: Several studies have explored perceptions of the value of nurse educator certification (CNE). However, there is a gap in understanding motivators and outcomes of certification as a nurse educator.

Method: As part of a larger, web-based, mixed-method study, a national sample of certified and noncertified nursing educator administrators and faculty responded to nine open-ended questions. The inductive content analysis approach was used to identify constructs and themes.

Results: From an overall sample of 721 participants, three constructs and associated themes emerged.

Conclusion: Motivators for pursing CNE align with previously reported intrinsic values. Participants seek extrinsic rewards as well. Educator outcomes include enhanced teaching and expanded roles. Student outcomes were less clear. Further study of outcomes of CNE is recommended to promote recognition of academic nursing education as an advanced nursing specialty.

Background: Pay-for-performance system (P4P) has been in operation in the Turkish healthcare sector since 2004. While the government defended that it encouraged healthcare professionals' job motivation, and improved patient satisfaction by increasing efficiency and service quality, healthcare professionals have emphasized the system's negative effects on working conditions, physicians' trustworthiness, and cost-quality outcomes. In this study, we investigated physicians' accounts of current working conditions, their status as a moral agent, and their professional attitudes in the context of P4P's perceived effects on their professional, social, private, and future lives.
