Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic changed the landscape of healthcare, yet there is a gap in the literature concerning Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: To gather an authentic understanding of the DNP-prepared Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) experiences (stories) caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This was a qualitative narrative inquiry study. A purposive sample of DNP-prepared APRNs (n = 8) was recruited to participate. All interviews were audio recorded, recordings were transcribed, and then each participant's narrative story was crafted by the authors. Results: Four overarching themes were identified: Do the Right Thing, Stepping Up, From Here to Reality, and Complex COVID Coping. Twelve subthemes were also identified. Participant stories were profound and indicated that their DNP education prepared them well for the healthcare crisis, but the emotional toll was difficult. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: This research provides insight into the experience of DNPs working during the COVID-19 crisis and elucidates the duty of nursing leaders and educators to appropriately plan, safeguard, and guide DNPs, students, and nurses at all levels. Preparation in epidemiology, public health, disaster planning, tele practice, and wellness is paramount.

故事赋予复杂现实以形式:2019冠状病毒病危机期间应急APRNs的叙事探究
背景:2019冠状病毒病大流行改变了医疗保健的格局,但关于护理实践医生(DNP)在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的经验的文献存在空白。目的:真实了解2019冠状病毒病疫情期间dnp准备的高级执业注册护士(APRN)护理患者的经历(故事)。方法:采用定性叙事探究性研究。目的样本为dnp制备的APRNs (n = 8)。所有的采访都被录音,录音被转录,然后每个参与者的叙述故事由作者精心制作。结果:确定了四个总体主题:做正确的事、加快步伐、从这里到现实以及应对复杂的COVID。还确定了12个分主题。参与者的故事很深刻,并表明他们的DNP教育为他们应对医疗危机做好了准备,但情感上的损失是困难的。结论/实践意义:本研究提供了对2019冠状病毒病危机期间护理人员工作经验的见解,并阐明了护理领导和教育工作者在各级护理人员、学生和护士的适当规划、保障和指导方面的责任。流行病学、公共卫生、灾害规划、远程诊疗和健康方面的准备工作至关重要。
