Dissemination Plan of Nurse mentorship and burnout
Institutional Level
This project will be disseminated in sites within the health care organization
during a future manager retreat. During this retreat, nursing leadership from the health
system will be exposed to emerging organizational processes and practices and
introduced to new ideas for the upcoming practice year. Projects completed by graduate
students are presented, along with internal projects from leader groups. Presenting the
project at this level will enable nurse managers and nursing executives in attendance to
learn about the evidence-based stress management techniques. These sessions are
recorded and archived for future referencing. Additionally, a poster presentation
outlining information from the PowerPoint presented to the original doctoral project team
may be presented during nursing research day at one of health system sites.
Intended Audiences
The primary audiences are nurse managers, senior nursing leaders, and emerging
nursing leaders. A variety of venues may be appropriate for dissemination of the project.
Primary venues include designated meetings at individual health systems, manager
councils, professional practice sessions, Magnet research day, leadership development
seminars, and new manager orientation meetings. On a broader scope, I can present this
information at quarterly meetings of nursing leadership professional organizations.
These state-run nurse executive councils host nurse managers, nursing directors, and
nurse executives from a variety of health systems and include presentations of programs
focused on self-development.

Practitioner

Throughout the DNP project, I gained an increased understanding of organizational
operations and system planning initiatives. My original DNP project proposal was based
on a health system that destabilized shortly after approval of the project premise. This
setback was ultimately a setup for a project that could have a greater impact on the
