Staff Education Program Checklist
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student is responsible for complying with the sites policies and requirements regarding the DNP project. The DNP student must follow the steps in the 2021 DNP Project Process Guide for students following the 2021 DNP Program of Study while working on the DNP project. The resources for the DNP project are located on the Office of Research and Doctoral Studies DNP Doctoral Study page.
The DNP student must be actively enrolled in the doctoral mentoring study course shell (NURS 8702 or 8703) to participate in any activities related to the project.
Staff Education Projects
Staff education projects must align with the purpose of the project and project outcome identified on the Staff Education Site Approval Form.
The project must follow the steps in the DNP Project Process Guide.
Staff education may include nurse residencies, orientation, in-service education, and continuing education of professional staff. Programs may be multidisciplinary in nature, meaning that other professional healthcare clinicians may attend and benefit from the content. Staff education is usually developed to meet a need identified by a site or clinical practice setting to improve patient care, achieve standards of practice, or to meet regulatory guidelines.
For the DNP nurse, staff education is often used to help inform and improve knowledge and skills using current evidence-based practices to facilitate improvement in healthcare and nursing practice to affect positive social change.
The project management action plan should include milestones and tasks for the ADDIE phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation for the staff education project (https://educationaltechnology.net/the-addie-model-instructional-design/).
Evaluation should be formative and summative. Formative evaluation should be conducted during the development of the program while summative evaluation occurs after implementation to assess the outcome of the education program. If a student is developing a comprehensive program that will be conducted over several months and needs organization approval prior to implementation, the student may develop the program and complete a formative evaluation with stakeholders. Examples of these types of programs include a critical care education program or a nurse residency program.
DNP students may not develop scholarly projects that involve patients, families, or pre-professional students as their target population.
The evaluation should identify the programs impact on social change as an outcome.
Ethical Requirements for Staff Education Doctoral Projects
In the doctoral project documents, the doctoral student must change the name of any partner sites and generalize the location(s) so that the site(s) is not identifiable. The student must redact any information that will lead a reader to identify the site. The site must...
…copies of the training booklet to read at their free time. The trainers will administer an assessment at the end of every month to test participants understanding. The expected outcome is that participants will be more knowledgeable and display an enhanced understanding of medication errors in their daily working and decision-making.Assessment The education program will include both formative and summative evaluations. At the end of every month, participants will take part in an evaluation where they will give their views about the program, whether or not it meets their expectations, and recommendations or ideas for improvement in the next month. After three months of implementation, the project team will engage the preceptor for an interim evaluation to ascertain whether the project is on course toward realizing the set objectives and advise on possible corrective actions.
A formal summative evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the education program will be carried out at the end of the sixth month by five external consultants who will be selected by the project team through a competitive process. The summative evaluation will involve assessing participants knowledge on medication errors and patient safety through a knowledge-assessment questionnaire, observing participants as they work, and calculating the incidence of medication errors in the post-training period relative to pre-training.

Evidence-Based Practice There is a lot of talk about evidence-based practice in the medical community, and it may seem as though it is being overstated. However, that is definitely not the case.

Any problematic outcomes can be improved through the use of scholarly inquiry and analysis. Being able to analyze issues properly and
Evidence-Based Practice: Systems Theory and Diffusion of Innovation Theories to Healthcare Delivery and Nursing Practice The ability to acquire accurate and timely information enhances nursing practice and patient outcomes.

Janvnbakht, Hejazi, & Ghasemi (2009) have clearly identified the purpose of their study. They have also stated the importance and relevance of the research topic to the current evidence-based practice.

Evidence-based practice is an approach that has been applied to clinical practice and nursing. Evidence-based practice started initially in medicine and went to fields like education, psychology, nursing and dentistry. It should be noted that the research is based on studies that were carried out and these studies go on to fit the scenario that is currently being dealt with. Treatments that are supported empirically are the ones that are proven
