However, access to higher nursing education in sub-Saharan Africa remains limited. We aimed to i) Assess the need for a Master of Nursing (MScN) program among graduate nurses in Kenya ii) Identify pre...

... a majority of the volunteers (n = 319, 89.9%) felt their skills were inferior to their responsibilities (under-skilled) while (n = 34, 9.6%) felt they were over-skilled (Table 1). Compared to volunteers who felt they were over-skilled, a bigger proportion of those who felt under-skilled expressed a desire to pursue an MScN (Fig. 4[a]). There were no signicant differences by sex in the desire to pursue MScN by skills mismatch (Fig. 4[a]). Further, (n = 333, 93.8%) of the volunteers felt there was a nursing skills gap that would be resolved by MScN graduates. All volunteers had carried out at least one task that ought to be carried out by MScN graduates as per the ...

... WOFS was found to be reliable (Cronbach's alpha = 0.7305). Overall, job satisfaction did not differ by need for MScN (Job satisfaction, mean ; p = 0.865) for those who did not express the desire to pursue MScN and those who did respectively. Equally, job satisfaction among volunteers who expressed the desire to pursue MScN did not differ by sex ( Fig. 4[b]). We found no signicant correlation between the need for MScN and job satisfaction (r = 0.058; p = ...
