The purpose of this descriptive pilot survey was to understand the experiences of students completing scholarly work projects for practice doctorate programs. With this work, we hoped to fill the literature gap and to inform curriculum. A descriptive survey was used to answer the question: How do graduates of entry level and completion degree Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) programs perceive the scholarly work requirements? The Chi-square test of independence was used to compare whether there was a statistically significant association between the responses to the survey question and the demographic variable. Only 46 DNP/DNAP graduates (4%) completed the survey. The survey results indicated that students in completion programs believed that their scholarly work empowered them to conduct future scholarly work as compared with the entry-topractice cohorts. Variables addressing each aspect of scholarly work project were described by the participants. This preliminary work provides a glimpse into the experience of scholarly work projects for the practice doctorate. To provide greater depth and understanding of this important aspect of doctoral education, a larger sampling of graduates is needed. A collaborative study might be beneficial.
本描述性初步调查旨在了解完成实践博士课程学术工作项目的学生的经验。通过这项工作，我们希望填补文献空白并为课程提供信息。采用描述性调查来回答以下问题：入门级和完成学位的护理实践博士 (DNP) 和护理麻醉实践博士 (DNAP) 课程的毕业生如何看待学术工作要求？独立性卡方检验用于比较调查问题的回答与人口统计学变量之间是否存在统计学上显著的关联。只有 46 名 DNP/DNAP 毕业生（4%）完成了调查。调查结果表明，与入门到实践队列相比，完成课程的学生认为他们的学术工作使他们能够进行未来的学术工作。参与者描述了学术工作项目的每个方面的变量。这项初步工作提供了实践博士学术工作项目经验的一个初步了解。为了更深入地了解博士教育这一重要方面，需要有更大的毕业生样本。合作研究可能会有所帮助。
