Students in Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs graduate with a completed DNP Project focused on practice improvement utilizing evidence-based research. Despite the value in disseminating the DNP Project outcomes to an audience of interest, many DNP graduates do not pursue dissemination beyond conclusion of their project and graduation.
The DNP Project didactic course and the DNP Project manuscripts were revised with active learning assignments designed to improve knowledge, skills, and confidence in professional writing and dissemination. A cohort of 26 students was invited to participate in informal focus groups to determine impact of the revisions. The program director tracked the number of students accepted for conference presentations or manuscripts post-implementation.
Of those invited to the focus groups, 25 students provided feedback. The students reported a perceived increase in competence and confidence in their ability to submit a professional abstract or manuscript for presentation or publication. Faculty noted an increase in the number of students who proceeded with dissemination of their DNP Project.
Capturing the momentum for dissemination by revising the DNP Project didactic course and DNP Project manuscripts proved valuable for enhancing graduates disseminating professionally thus contributing to the translation of evidence-based practice into healthcare.
护理实践博士(DNP)项目的学生以完成的 DNP 项目毕业,该项目侧重于利用循证研究进行实践改进。尽管将 DNP 项目成果传播给感兴趣的受众具有价值,但许多 DNP 毕业生在项目完成和毕业之后并不寻求进一步传播。
对 DNP 项目理论课程和 DNP 项目论文进行了修订,增加了以提高知识、技能和专业写作与传播信心为目标的主动学习作业。邀请了 26 名学生参加非正式焦点小组,以确定修订的影响。项目主任跟踪了实施后接受会议演讲或论文投稿的学生人数。
在受邀参加焦点小组的 25 名学生中,有 25 人提供了反馈。学生们报告说,他们在提交专业摘要或论文进行演讲或发表的能力方面,感知到了能力和信心的提高。教师注意到,有更多的学生继续传播他们的 DNP 项目。
通过修订 DNP 项目理论课程和 DNP 项目论文来把握传播的动力,对于提高毕业生的专业传播能力非常有价值,有助于将循证实践转化为医疗保健。
