Abstract:
Doctorally prepared nurse scholars with the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) and the doctor of philosophy (PhD) degrees are equally well suited to engage in scholarship to advance cardiovascular nursing and health outcomes. Collaboration between DNP and PhD scholars is crucial to develop interventions to improve cardiovascular outcomes and encourage efficient translation of research findings into practice. The purpose of this paper is to (1) provide a targeted review of the current state of literature on examples of DNP-PhD collaboration, and (2) describe ongoing DNP-PhD collaborations across three NIH-funded trials (1 completed, 2 ongoing) testing physical activity interventions for women at risk for cardiovascular disease. First, a targeted review was conducted to identify examples of DNP-PhD collaboration, and identified 12 published articles. Articles described the DNP-PhD collaborations in research/scholarship ( n = 8) and education ( n = 5). Of the research articles, there was evidence of collaboration in evidence-based practice projects for various health outcomes. However, none of the articles described DNP-PhD collaboration in NIH-funded clinical trials, including behavioral interventions for cardiovascular health. Three physical activity interventions for women at risk for cardiovascular disease were or are being tested in three trials (NCT01700894, NCT03558828, NCT04556305). Examples of DNP-PhD collaboration are categorized according to the four Team Science Phases. Research teams are led by PhD nurse scholars who oversee design and implementation (Development, Conceptualization, Implementation, Translation). DNP scholars provide clinical feedback in advisory panels and focus groups (Development, Conceptualization), provide training to intervention teams, lead personal call and group interventions (Implementation), facilitate patient referrals for participation (Implementation), oversee intervention safety (Implementation, Translation), and contribute to dissemination (Translation). DNP-PhD collaboration is important for all phases of NIH behavioral trials to optimize outcomes. There is a need for additional publications to detail applicable DNP-PhD collaborations in NIH-funded nursing research.
