To better understand the research capacity and productivity of nurse practitioner (NP) faculty, a study was conducted to describe the types of research that have been and are being completed by National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) members.
A web-based survey was developed with input from members of the NONPF Research Special Interest Group and the NONPF Board. This 23-question survey included demographic, academic degree, NP population focus, and research-related questions. Three e-mails were sent to NONPF members over a 10-week period of time (late December 2012 to early February 2013).
Respondents (N = 344) in the sample were Advanced Practice Registered Nurses with either a Masters, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNS or PhD as their highest academic degree. Study results demonstrated that current NP faculty research includes a wide breadth of clinical areas studied, types of methodologies used, variety of funding mechanisms, and successful publication records.
Because NP faculty conduct a wide array of research on clinically relevant topics, and demonstrate successful funding and publication track records, they are poised to continue to be leaders in healthcare research.
为了更好地了解执业护士教员的研究能力和产出，开展了一项研究，以描述美国执业护士教员全国组织（NONPF）成员已经完成和正在完成的研究类型。
在NONPF研究特别兴趣小组和NONPF董事会成员的参与下，开发了一项基于网络的调查。这项包含23个问题的调查涵盖了人口统计学、学术学位、执业护士关注人群以及与研究相关的问题。在10周时间内（2012年12月下旬至2013年2月初）向NONPF成员发送了三封电子邮件。
样本中的受访者（N = 344）均为高级执业注册护士，其最高学术学位为硕士、护理实践博士、护理学博士或哲学博士。研究结果表明，当前执业护士教员的研究涵盖了广泛的临床研究领域、所使用的方法类型、多种资金筹集机制以及成功的发表记录。
由于执业护士教员在临床相关主题上开展了广泛的研究，并展示了成功的资金筹集和发表记录，他们有望继续成为医疗保健研究的领导者。
