AB  - BACKGROUND: Across doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programs, wide variation 
      exists for DNP project expectations and curricular integration of Quality and 
      Safety Education for Nurses competencies. PURPOSE: This study examined DNP 
      project characteristics and compared knowledge, skills, and attitudes about 
      quality improvement (QI) processes between DNP program faculty and graduates. 
      METHODS: This descriptive study used a national convenience sample of DNP program 
      faculty and graduates from multiple settings (N = 147) who completed an 
      electronic survey of a modified version of the Quality Improvement Knowledge, 
      Skills, and Attitudes Survey. RESULTS: Most DNP projects were QI/practice 
      improvement (85.5%) and required interprofessional collaboration (65%) and 
      implementation of a practice change (55.8%) with evaluation (65.5%). DNP program 
      faculty (n = 73) and graduates (n = 30) had no significant differences in QI 
      knowledge or skills; faculty reported less confidence in their knowledge (P = 
      .002) and skills (P = .007) than graduates. CONCLUSIONS: Faculty development 
      efforts to improve QI knowledge and skills for DNP program faculty are needed.
