The purpose of this qualitative study, using a hermeneutic phenomenological design, was to explore the lived experiences of how nursing faculty are trained, developed, and emotionally supported in addressing academic misconduct in the classroom. The problem to be addressed by this study was that nursing faculty lack training, development, and emotional support in addressing academic misconduct. The conceptual framework chosen for this study was holistic faculty development, with the following themes: self-efficacy, accountability, self-determination, emotional intelligence, and psychosocial support. A hermeneutic phenomenological study was the chosen method and design. The target population was nursing faculty who resided in the United States of America, including seven nursing faculty who currently teach or have taught as a full-time or part-time nursing faculty at some point in their career. A purposive sampling method was used to select participants for this study. I was the primary instrument, and data was collected from each participant using semi-structured one-on-one interviewing through Zoom. The interview protocol included 15 open-ended interview questions. NVivo Pro was the software used for coding and analysis. The data analysis chosen for this study was Braun and Clarke's sixstep thematic analysis. Through this analysis, eight themes emerged from the data. The themes indicated the need for nursing faculty to receive formalized training, ongoing development, and emotional support to address academic misconduct. Recommendations included providing nursing faculty opportunities to assess their understanding of academic misconduct, ongoing development that includes technology training, and emotional support. This study contributes to the existing body of literature by exploring the lived experience of how nursing faculty are trained, developed, and emotionally supported to address academic misconduct in the classroom.
