First, it is important to understand the criteria for scholarship and the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in furthering nursing scholarship. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) defines scholarship as “the use of information, knowledge, and data to advance the discipline of nursing and improve patient outcomes.” The AACN envisions the role of the DNP-prepared nurse as a leader in translating research into practice and using evidence-based practice to improve patient outcomes.

For your scholarly product, you should begin by providing background information on the larger problem or issue you explored in your DNP project. Identify your practice-focused question and explain how this problem or issue affects nursing practice and the overall healthcare system. Then, describe how your DNP project explored possible strategies for addressing the problem or issue.

Next, identify the practice setting and context in which you conducted your project, summarize the evidence supporting the project, and describe the process for implementation and evaluation.

Finally, explain the results of your DNP project and provide recommendations for change that you made to the organization. Your scholarly product should be tailored to a specific audience, such as healthcare professionals, policymakers, or patients and their families.

The following resources may be helpful as you prepare your scholarly product:
