- Reflections of Master of Nursing Specialist Students in an Advanced Practice Nursing Course: A Qualitative Research Study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: MNS students grasp partial APN core competencies and prefer clinical specialization but lack sufficient understanding of coaching-consultation, ethical decision-making and evidence-based practice. Curriculum optimization using Gibbs's reflective cycle and improved cross-curriculum assessment can remedy such deficits. It is essential to strengthen the synergy between clinical research and practice, foster international collaboration and expand the APN practice scope. Equally important is the development of a localized APN training pathway through a multifaceted care network adapted to the Chinese context.
