Background:
Little is known about available guidelines that can be used to evaluate health systems' Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) capstone projects.
Objectives:
The twofold purpose of this study was to identify the scope of nurse executive leadership practices, as demonstrated in final health systems' DNP Projects and propose a framework to guide evaluating health systems' DNP capstone projects.
Methods:
This qualitative study used content analysis to evaluate DNP project posters of 10 health systems' DNP students graduating from one Midwestern college of nursing. Students were engaged in activities pertinent to managerial and executive-level nurse leaders.
Results:
Students were engaged in activities pertinent to both managerial and executive level nurse leaders and followed AONE competencies. Leadership styles were operational and transformational. Six types of activities were identified. Leadership activities and themes were organized into a framework for action that can guide curriculum.
Conclusions:
The Framework for Action themes can be used to coach students in nurse manager or executive roles and identify developmental needs of students.
Implications For Nursing:
A specific new competency on impact is indicated. Use of simulation techniques is an opportunity in health systems education.
