Students conducting doctor of nursing practice (DNP) projects can experience barriers that cause delays, frustration, and poor-quality projects.
For successful initiation and timely completion of quality projects, organizational readiness for change (ORC) evaluation is essential, yet ORC tools are not currently part of most DNP project requirements and curricula.
The purpose of this project was to revise a reliable, validated ORC tool with 12 DNP student participants and evaluate its utility for DNP projects.
Doctor of nursing practice students completed the revised Organizational Readiness for Knowledge Translation (OR4KT)-DNP tool and rated the tool as being high in acceptability, learning, and educational impact. Students who indicated that they had complications during project initiation scored lower than their peers on the OR4KT-DNP tool and scored higher on the student survey for utility. The OR4KT-DNP tool can serve as the foundation for a successful DNP project initiation.
进行护理实践博士（DNP）项目的学生可能会遇到导致延迟、挫折和项目质量差的障碍。
为了成功启动和及时完成高质量的项目，组织变革准备（ORC）评估是必不可少的，但目前大多数 DNP 项目要求和课程都没有包含 ORC 工具。
该项目的目的是用 12 名 DNP 学生参与者修订一个可靠的、经过验证的 ORC 工具，并评估其在 DNP 项目中的效用。
护理实践博士学生完成了修订后的组织准备知识转化（OR4KT-DNP）工具，并对该工具的可接受性、学习和教育影响给予了高度评价。在项目启动阶段遇到困难的学生，其在 OR4KT-DNP 工具上的得分低于同龄人，而在工具实用性方面的学生调查中得分较高。OR4KT-DNP 工具可以作为成功启动 DNP 项目的基础。
