Description
Advanced practice nurses now sit inside many care teams, yet no standard tool measures what colleagues think they add. Tim Hubo and co-authors built that questionnaire through an international Delphi process. Starting from a rapid literature review, they drafted 102 candidate outcomes in fourteen domains. Two rounds of expert scoring, from 27 then 23 panelists across care settings, merged or cut weak items.
Seven clinicians then tested the wording in cognitive interviews. The final instrument holds 67 outcomes across eleven domains, from role clarity and workload to continuity of care and team belonging. The authors offer it for any team that includes advanced practice nurses.
