Developing a model to facilitate the preparedness of inexperienced research professionals for a joint research journey in nursing education institutions

The successfully developed model provides a reference framework for improving the completion period of postgraduate studies. As the model has not been tested as yet, we recommend future studies to test the validity and reliability of the model in enhancing preparedness and improving the post-graduate throughput rate.Contribution: The findings advance human capacity development, such as nurses with master's and PhD qualifications - as inexperienced research professionals.
