  • STTI Scholarship Defined
    STTI Scholarship Defined The mission of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI), is advancing world health and celebrating nursing excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service. Nurses in all settings develop and use scientific evidence to advance health. Sigma Theta Tau International has promoted the development of and shared definitions and resources related to clinical scholarship (Dreher, 1999) and the scholarship of reflective practice (Freshwater, Horton-Deutsch, Sherwood & Taylor, 2005). Over the past decade, understanding of the nature of scholarship has expanded to embrace implementation and translation sciences, the harnessing of large sets of clinical data to provide evidence for practice increasingly in real time, the potential of social media to provide leading indicators of population health status, and additional focus on health outcomes related to health care policy. For that reason, STTI is building on the work of Dreher and of Freshwater et al. to provide an expanded understanding of scholarship to inform not only the development of, but also the translation of scientific evidence in all aspects of nursing practice. Clinical scholarship is described by Dreher (1999) as an intellectual endeavor that entails systematic inquiry and scrutiny of practice in an effort to continually improve nursing practice. Clinical scholarship is informed by and inspires research. It enhances the development of nursing knowledge by testing clinical realities against theories in varied settings with diverse populations. Dreher describes clinical scholarship as entailing observation, analysis, synthesis, application, and dissemination. She also describes clinical scholarship as being characterized by the fact that it is value-driven, autonomous, and creative.
