Abstract

Objective: To explore organizational nursing leaders' perceptions of impact, value, and support for doctor of nursing practice (DNP)-prepared nurses engaging in practice scholarship.

Background: DNP nurses are educated to lead change at the system level and direct practice-based initiatives to enhance health outcomes. Organizational support and the value of DNP scholarship need to be better understood.

Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional survey of organizational nursing leaders (N = 87) who participated in hiring or interacting with DNP-prepared nurses was implemented.

Results: More than half of the organizational nursing leaders reported that scholarship competencies were integrated into DNP-prepared nurses' job descriptions, yet almost half reported no time allotment for scholarship activities. Respondents reported that the highest impact of the DNP-prepared nurse was on the quality of care, and the greatest value reported was the implementation of evidence-based practice and quality improvement initiatives, the development of innovative roles, and as change agents.

Conclusions: Consistent organizational support for DNP-prepared nurses to engage in practice scholarship could maximize the value and impact of these highly educated nurses on healthcare systems and health outcomes.

通过护理领导者的镜头探索dnp准备护士的学术价值和影响。

目的：探讨组织护理领导对护理实践医生（DNP）预备护士从事实践奖学金的影响、价值和支持的看法。背景：DNP护士受过教育，可以在系统层面领导变革，并指导基于实践的举措，以提高健康结果。需要更好地了解组织支持和DNP奖学金的价值。方法：采用探索性横断面调查方法，对87名参与招聘或与护士进行互动的组织护理领导进行调查。结果：超过一半的组织护理领导报告说，奖学金能力被整合到np准备护士的工作描述中，但几乎一半的人报告没有时间分配奖学金活动。受访者报告说，准备dnp的护士对护理质量的影响最大，报告的最大价值是实施循证实践和质量改进倡议，发展创新角色，并作为变革推动者。结论：组织对dnp准备护士从事实践奖学金的持续支持可以最大限度地发挥这些高学历护士对医疗保健系统和健康结果的价值和影响。
