Abstract

The high number of doctoral students leaving their studies before completion of their degree is a concern of both students and educational institutions. Identification of barriers to DNP student persistence is needed, along with the development of strategies to address them.

The primary aim of the project is to determine the effect of a virtual DNP Final Project Peer Support Community with Final Project Resources Toolkit on students' perception of connectedness, peer community and perceived stress regarding their DNP final project experience in a limited residency program.
