DNP- Patient Outcomes And Sustainable Change
ANSWERS
Background
It is crucial to comprehend the current state of the DNP project in order to thoughtfully and strategically integrate the updated Essentials into DNP curricula.
Method
This debate focuses on DNP project processes and provides an overview of the main problems and potential fixes for the project planning, carrying out, and evaluating phases.
Findings
The biggest obstacles are:
- defining a practice gap or lacking training in protocol development for quality improvement (QI) projects (design stage)
- finding and accessing project sites or practice mentors and having little academic faculty support (implementation stage)
- a lack of standard criteria for DNP project evaluation or unclear choices and use of QI measurement tools (implementation stage) (evaluation stage)
Sustainability, Faculty Preparation, and Scholarly Writing were the main obstacles to successful DNP project completion. Training and assistance for faculty, toolkits, practical organization, and planning techniques were all potential remedies.
Conclusion
The DNP presents unique challenges for students, academic and clinical settings, faculty, and administrators because it is an evolving degree. The key to assisting students in developing and demonstrating DNP competencies is developing effective partnerships between students, faculty, and healthcare systems. Nursing institutions and leadership should look into additional strategies to strengthen these partnerships.
