    This study identified key variables for assessing curriculum implementation in pediatric nurse practitioner programs. Salient factors in program characteristics, content, and emphasis predict student achievement and long-term outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Curriculum Development
    • Program Evaluation

    Background:

    • Assessing curriculum implementation is crucial for educational program effectiveness.
    • Continuing education programs, particularly in specialized fields like pediatric nurse practitioners, require robust evaluation methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and apply a process for selecting salient variables to assess curriculum implementation.
    • To identify specific program characteristics, content domains, and emphasis parameters that effectively measure curriculum implementation in pediatric nurse practitioner programs.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was administered to program directors of 18 continuing education pediatric nurse practitioner programs.
    • Data on program characteristics, curriculum content, and curriculum emphasis were collected.

  • One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and omega squared (ω²) were employed to identify significant variables.

    • Main Results:

    • Three out of 11 program characteristics were identified as significant.
    • Five out of 14 curriculum content domains were found to be salient.
    • Three out of 6 curriculum emphasis parameters were significant predictors.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific variables within program characteristics, content, and emphasis can effectively assess curriculum implementation.
    • The identified salient variables are crucial for evaluating student achievement and long-term program outcomes in nursing education.
