Abstract
Objectives
This quality improvement initiative aimed to establish a journal and research club to support advanced nurse practitioners (ANP) in mental health in transitioning to the ANP role in mental health services.
Methods
Following the SQUIRE 2.0 framework for publication of quality improvement studies, written reflections (n = 70) from seven ANPs were analysed using content framework analysis to identify lessons learned.
Outcomes
Four themes revealed: research capabilities, expanding the ANP role and practice, learning through reflective practice, and group synergy.
Conclusions
This initiative enhanced ANPs research confidence and skills, effectively facilitating their transition to the ANP role.
