Abstract

Background

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students acquire the ability to translate knowledge into tangible, real-world solutions through their DNP projects. Flexibility in DNP project requirements has resulted in significant variation across programs.

Problem

Due to its expansive growth at one public university, a DNP Project Task Force was formed to re-envision the existing DNP Project structure and products.

Approach

The Task Force used the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model (4th ed.) as a framework to design a 3-semester-3-course series with one faculty member leading each DNP Project group of six students throughout project development, implementation, and evaluation.

Outcomes

The DNP Project Dissemination Package includes an abstract, an executive summary, and a conference-style poster that meet program/university requirements and that are appropriate for future professional presentation and/or publication.

Limitations

Though scalable and adaptable for widespread implementation, factors such as university-based requirements and faculty workload assignment may impact broader adoption of the Dissemination Package.

Discussion

The DNP Project Dissemination Package empowers DNP graduates to serve as change agents, share their impactful work and showcase the extent to which DNP projects can be timely and widely disseminated to ensure translation of evidence into practice.

北卡罗莱纳州一所公立大学创新护理实践博士（DNP）项目传播包的开发

护理实践博士（DNP）的学生通过他们的DNP项目获得将知识转化为有形的，现实世界的解决方案的能力。DNP项目需求的灵活性导致了项目之间的显著差异。由于其在一所公立大学的扩张增长，成立了一个DNP项目工作组来重新设想现有的DNP项目结构和产品。工作组使用约翰霍普金斯大学循证实践模型（第4版）作为框架，设计了一个3学期3课程系列，由一名教师领导每个DNP项目小组的6名学生，贯穿项目开发、实施和评估。成果DNP项目传播包包括一份摘要、一份执行摘要和一份会议风格的海报，这些海报符合项目/大学的要求，适合未来的专业展示和/或出版。虽然可扩展和可适应广泛实施，但诸如基于大学的需求和教师工作量分配等因素可能会影响传播包的广泛采用。讨论DNP项目传播包授权DNP毕业生作为变革推动者，分享他们有影响力的工作，并展示DNP项目可以及时和广泛传播的程度，以确保将证据转化为实践。
