November 17, 2023Webinar Title: The Role of the Nurse Scientist Advancing Nursing Knowledge Through Research: Opportunities and Challenges Webinar Description: Please join us for this virtual event hosted by the ENRS Organizational Development Committee on November 17, 2023, beginning at 9:00 AM. The practice environment offers the Nurse Scientist numerous opportunities to explore patient responses and experiences, develop disciplinary knowledge to inform practice and guide interventions and enhance wellbecoming. Implementation of the PhD prepared Nurse Scientist across practice settings is a growing trend, nationally. Recruiting the Nurse Scientist into practice settings will require continued support and resources to sustain the role. Definitions for the practice based Nurse Scientist vary. Some descriptions focus on the development, testing, refinement and translation of knowledge to advance patient care. Others focus on research activities that include dissemination of research findings, team building and collaboration, mentoring, grant writing, Evidence Based Practice initiatives and guiding quality improvement projects. The lack of a consistent role description often can lead to potential role confusion. Research conducted by nurse scientists has influenced patient outcomes related to reduction in falls, decreased infection rates, accelerated wound healing, as well as health promotion and well becoming across populations and health care settings. Research conducted by Nurse Scientists has also impacted care costs, decreased length of hospitalizations and readmission rates and improved care transitions to home. While implementation of the Nurse Scientist has been successful,, there are still challenges and barriers to full role implementation. The lack of a clear definition of the Nurse Scientist role and role requirements, increased numbers of nurses in practice with Doctorates in Nursing Practice leading research investigations, focus on evidence based practice initiatives and the lack the needed infrastructure and resources contribute to role confusion. Implementation of the Nurse Scientist role within practice environments has created new opportunities to advance disciplinary knowledge and improve patient care through nursing inquiry. Continued exploration and refinement of the Nurse Scientist role in both Magnet designated and Non Magnet settings can bring clarity to the work of the nurse scientist and promote new opportunities to advance a nursing research agenda across practice environments. The purpose of this workshop is to explore different strategies used to define and implement the Nurse Scientist role across practice settings and populations. Exploring the role of the Nurse Scientist and the approaches to role implementation use can enhance and expand optimize the role and enhance patient care.

Speakers: Ruth Lucas, PhD, RNC, CLS Yvette Conley, PhD, FAAN Mallory Perry-Eaddy, Phd, RN, CCRN Moderator: February 22, 2023Webinar Title: Using Delphi Methodology to Build Consensus in Emerging Research Webinar Description: The Delphi Methodology is a structured approach to obtaining consensus from a panel of experts on a particular topic, and is most commonly applied when little evidence on that topic exists. The Delphi method has become widely used in nursing research, and results from Delphi studies have informed early instrument design, interventions for new or rare conditions, among other things. Given the range of applications of this methodology, careful attention to study design is critical. For example, who can qualify as an expert? How is consensus defined? What are some threats to validity? How many rounds should be conducted? This presentation will provide an overview of the Delphi method, review foundational applications of this method in nursing science, and highlight examples of how the Delphi Method was used by nurses as foundational phases to multi-phase studies in progress at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Kasey B. Jackman, PhD, RN, PMHNP-BC Kristen D. Clark, MSN, RN May 12, 2020Opportunity and Uncertainty: Where Science, Policy, and Politics Intersect Webinar Description: It is clear that policy, politics, and science are interconnected. At the same time, that link can be difficult to navigate. As the country battles the coronavirus pandemic, messaging and framing impact the public’s opinion and policy actions. Combatting misinformation and reinforcing evidence is a vital role for researchers. Even when uncertainty is prevalent and the answers are still forthcoming, the forward momentum of the research community is paramount. From future federal investments to crafting policy grounded in research, there is a necessary balance to promote an agenda that advances meaningful change in health outcomes. For the work of nurse scientists in this process, it requires the consistent lens of the profession — a connection to the public, their health, and wellness. Speaker: Suzanne Miyamoto, PhD, RN, FAAN
