Summary
Graduates of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) programs found scholarly work projects valuable. Completion program students felt more empowered for future scholarly work compared to entry-level peers.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Doctoral Studies
Background:
- Scholarly work projects are a key component of practice doctorate programs.
- There is a need to understand student experiences with these requirements to inform curriculum development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore how graduates of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) programs perceive their scholarly work requirements.
- To identify potential differences in perception between entry-level and completion degree program graduates.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive pilot survey was administered to DNP and DNAP graduates.
- The Chi-square test of independence was used to analyze associations between survey responses and demographic variables.
Main Results:
- Only 46 graduates (4% response rate) completed the survey.
- Graduates from completion programs reported that their scholarly work empowered them for future scholarly endeavors more than entry-to-practice graduates.
Conclusions:
- This pilot study offers preliminary insights into the experiences of practice doctorate students with scholarly work projects.
- Further research with a larger sample size is recommended to gain a comprehensive understanding and inform doctoral education.

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.4K
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.
