Nurse practitioners exhibit strong confidence in their skills and a nursing-focused practice model. However, variability in understanding audit, quality assurance, and financial aspects highlights educational and practice implications.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Administration

Background:

  • Nurse practitioners (NPs) play a crucial role in healthcare delivery.
  • Understanding NP perspectives on their roles and practice models is essential for optimizing healthcare outcomes.
  • Existing literature highlights the need to explore NP self-perceptions and practice orientations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the attitudes and values of nurse practitioners regarding their professional roles.
  • To assess nurse practitioners' self-perceived skills and knowledge.
  • To determine the orientation of nurse practitioners toward nursing or medical models in guiding their practice.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, correlational research design was employed.
  • Data were collected from a sample of nurse practitioners.

  • Surveys or questionnaires were used to gather information on attitudes, self-assessment, and practice orientation.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurse practitioners reported high confidence in their skills and knowledge.
    • A predominantly nursing orientation was observed in their practice models.
    • Significant variability was found in responses concerning the audit, quality assurance, and financial dimensions of the NP role.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings underscore the self-assuredness and nursing-centric approach of the studied nurse practitioners.
    • Variability in understanding administrative and financial aspects suggests a need for targeted educational interventions.
    • Implications for nurse practitioner education and practice require further consideration to address identified gaps.
