Abstract Background Complex healthcare landscape increasingly demands leaders who are adept at managing change in health care environments. The doctor of nursing practice (DNP) prepares nurses for the most advance level of clinical nursing practice. The aim of this study was to explore the necessity of the establishment of the DNP program in Iran from expertise’s view.Methods This study was conducted using a qualitative approach. The participants included thirteen faculty members and PhD candidates who were selected through a purposive sampling. Data were collected through focus group and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results Qualitative data analysis resulted in two main categories: “provide infrastructures” and “DNP: as an opportunity to drive positive changes” with two categories respectively.Conclusion The findings showed although DNP as an opportunity to drive positive changes is necessary in the nursing education, but inadequate resources, cultural, social, and economic differences in the developing countries especially in Iran, are important limitations of the implementation of the DNP. Therefore, a multidisciplinary collaboration to provide a well-integrated means of meeting the needs of the patients recommended for better designing of the DNP and break down the obstacles.

Graduate nursing education provides an opportunity to advance knowledge about integrative nursing and the effects of this approach to care on patient and systems outcomes. Graduate programs for advanced practice and their focus on organizational and systems leadership, quality improvement, interprofessional collaboration, and advanced practice align with professional competencies and provide the foundation for translating integrative nursing principles into clinical care. There is both a “reclaiming” of authentic nursing values and practice and “laying claim” to new and evolving models of health care. This chapter focuses on how concepts and principles of integrative nursing can inform innovative graduate nursing curriculum and transform advanced nursing practice. Examples of integrative nursing curricular opportunities are provided, and recommendations to increase and sustain education reform are presented.

Background and Purpose: Spirituality has been identified as the essence of being human and is recognized, by many health care professionals, as a central component in health and healing. Scholars have identified spiritual nursing care as essential to nursing practice and include caring for the human spirit through the development of relationships and interconnectedness between the nurse and the patient. However, despite the recognition of spiritual practices as important to health, little attention has been given to spirituality in nursing practice and education in the literature. The purpose of this article is to explore factors contributing to the invisibility of spiritual nursing care practices (SNCP), recognition and offer strategies to enhance the visibility of SNCP. Two major factors that reduce visibility of SNCP are conceptual confusion differentiating between spirituality and religion and limited education in the area of spirituality including nursing curricula and organizations. Strategies to enhance visibility of SNCP include educational approaches in nursing curricula and health care organizations. to influence nurses’ perceptions about spirituality and creation of a culture of spiritual care. Conclusion: Holistic nursing includes assessing and responding to the spiritual needs of patients. Changes in nursing education and health care systems are needed to increase the visibility of SNCP.

Nursing leaders are essential in promoting the doctor of nursing practice (DNP)-prepared nurse in various innovative roles (Nichols, O’Connor, & Dunn, 2014). However, according to the recently released RAND study,The DNP by 2015: A Study of the Institutional, Political, and Professional Issues That Facilitate or Impede Establishing a Post-Baccalaureate Doctor of Nursing Practice Program(Auerbach et al., 2014) employers and health care organizations need outreach and data to understand the added competencies and capabilities of DNP-educated nurses. Practicing DNPs are in an excellent position to demonstrate and educate our executive colleagues. The purpose of this article is (a) to foster nursing leadership’s understanding of the uniquely prepared nursing practice doctorate, (b) to illustrate how the DNP-prepared nurse is being integrated/used to their potential within health care systems to maximize clinical and population health outcomes, and (c) to issue a call to action for nursing leadership to engage the DNP-prepared nurse to accomplish organizational goals.

Mentoring creates opportunities for guidance, collaboration, partnerships, career development, personal growth, problem solving, leadership, and scholarly advancement among others. Mentoring is not a new concept to health care or to nursing. Nurses and others in the health care field depend on various individuals for their career growth and developmental networking. Doctor of nursing practice (DNP) graduates are encouraged to collaborate with other disciplines, assume leadership roles, and serve as mentors at the clinical, educational, or executive level. Mentoring relationships are essential for the DNP graduate to continue growing scholarly, professionally, and personally.

Purposive Sample

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs have focused on competencies needed to deliver comprehensive patient care across settings and time. Endorsed by professional nursing associations, these competencies are typically evaluated through detailed case narratives written by DNP candidates. Beyond competency metrics, the essence of comprehensive care for advanced nursing practice has not been carefully explicated. In this study, a phenomenological analysis is applied to a purposive sample of 12 DNP case narratives to identify the meaning of comprehensive care as transmitted in practice. Clinical assessment precision, diagnostic acumen, and advocacy emerge consistently but only the more audacious nurse practitioners directly challenge health system fragmentation.
