The Journal of Nursing Education
|September 4, 2015
Summary
This integrated nurse practitioner program successfully trained graduates for mind-body care. However, further marketing is needed to encourage rural practice and highlight the dual role.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Integrated Healthcare
- Rural Health
Background:
- Developed an integrated Family Nurse Practitioner/Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP/PMH-NP) program.
- Program aimed to address health professional shortages in rural areas.
Purpose of the Study:
- Describe the development, implementation, and outcomes of the integrated FNP/PMH-NP program.
- Evaluate the program's success in preparing nurse practitioners for integrated care roles.
Main Methods:
- Created a 3-year integrated curriculum for FNP and PMH-NP specialties.
- Included 855 clinical hours and integrated case studies in the final semester.
- Utilized dual-certified rural nurse practitioners for clinical preceptorships.
Main Results:
- Thirteen students completed the program between 2006 and 2014.
- Most graduates were dual certified; less than half practiced in rural areas.
- All graduates reported high satisfaction with their nurse practitioner roles.
Conclusions:
- The program effectively prepared graduates for integrated mental health-primary care positions.
- Further efforts are recommended to promote the dual role and rural practice opportunities.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

2.8K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
