In a survey to determine the existence, extent and nature of an adjustment for nurse practitioners as they assumed responsibilities associated with the NP role, 135 nurse practitioners were surveyed. Results showed that 86.7 percent of respondents experiences a distinct adjustment period which averaged 5.9 months. Also, respondents rates "greater autonomy in work" as most important in the decision to seek training, and "increased skill and knowledge" as the most realistic expectation for others considering NP training. Respondents rated "uncertainty about diagnosis and treatment" and "fear of missing something" as the most descriptive of feelings in the first six months of practice. Data from this study support preparation of NP students for role transition while enrolled in a training program; suggestions for designing "role adjustment" seminars and preparing preceptors are presented.
在一项关于执业护士承担与NP角色相关责任时所经历的调整的存在、程度和性质的调查中，对135名执业护士进行了调查。结果显示，86.7%的受访者经历了一个平均时长为5.9个月的明显调整期。此外，受访者将“工作中更大的自主权”列为寻求培训决定中最重要的因素，将“技能和知识的提升”列为对考虑接受NP培训的其他人最现实的期望。受访者将“诊断和治疗的不确定性”以及“担心漏诊”列为执业前六个月中最能描述其感受的因素。这项研究的数据支持在NP学生参加培训项目期间为其角色转变做好准备；文中还提出了设计“角色调整”研讨会和培训带教老师的建议。
