AB  - To date, there is no benchmark data available on the measurement of program 
      outcomes in doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programs. The purpose of this study 
      was to identify barriers to integration of IT content in the curriculum in DNP 
      programs, perceived IT competencies taught, and DNP faculty perception of 
      competencies. The study location was DNP programs in the United States, and focus 
      was on doctorate-prepared faculty with a DNP or PhD. A descriptive design using 
      an Internet-based survey was done with 113 DNP programs administrators and 
      faculty across the United States. Limitation of the study was that few DNP 
      administrators forwarded the study to faculty, limiting the sample size. For the 
      purpose of this study, the results were limited to responses from DNP 
      administrators, and some comparative data of the faculty were used. Barriers 
      measured included lack of qualified faculty, faculty's limited knowledge or 
      skills in IT, lack of interest, age, lack of time to learn IT, lack of time to 
      use IT, too many work demands, lack of administrative vision, unclear 
      expectations of faculty, lack of technical support to faculty, or lack of 
      resources. Leading barriers to IT implementation were lack of time of faculty, 
      too many other work demands of faculty, lack of resources dedicated to IT, and 
      lack of qualified faculty to teach IT. Further research is necessary on 
      doctorate-prepared faculty and on interventions to overcome these barriers is 
      needed.
