Abstract

Abstract: A virtual book club (VBC) was created for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to foster engagement, connect with peers, and apply readings to their personal and professional development. Microsoft Teams virtual platform was used. Books chosen focused on professional development and health care-related topics. As a quality-improvement project, 60 participants completed an anonymous Likert-scale survey about their perception of the VBC. Respondents survey completion rate was 71%. Sixty survey evaluations stated that they agreed or strongly agreed (mean 4.78-4.82/5) that the VBC encourages peer engagement, professional applicability, intention to read professional books, and willingness to invite peers to future VBCs. Participants were neutral (mean 3.25/5) about reading professional or health care-related books outside of the VBC. Virtual book clubs offer opportunities for APRNs to socially connect with peers and apply readings to both their personal and professional development. The results from this project may be applied to help encourage connection with other APRNs during these times of provider burnout.

一本打开的书：一个虚拟读书俱乐部，旨在通过质量改进将高级执业注册护士联系起来。

摘要：为高级执业注册护士（APRNs）创建了一个虚拟读书俱乐部（VBC），以促进参与、与同行联系，并将阅读内容应用于个人和职业发展。使用的是 Microsoft Teams 虚拟平台。所选书籍侧重于专业发展和医疗保健相关主题。作为一个质量改进项目，60 名参与者完成了一项匿名李克特量表调查，了解他们对 VBC 的看法。受访者的调查完成率为 71%。60 份调查评估表明，他们同意或非常同意（平均值为 4.78-4.82/5）VBC 鼓励同行参与、专业适用性、阅读专业书籍的意愿以及邀请同行参加未来 VBC 的意愿。参与者对在 VBC 之外阅读专业或医疗保健相关书籍持中立态度（平均值为 3.25/5）。虚拟读书会为全科护士提供了与同行进行社交交流的机会，并将阅读内容应用于个人和专业发展。本项目的结果可用于在医疗服务提供者职业倦怠时期鼓励与其他全科护士建立联系。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
