Reading:
The competency of guidance and coaching is a well-established expectation of the advanced practice nurse (APN). For example, the ability to establish therapeutic relationships and guide patients through transitions is incorporated into the DNP Essentials (American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2006). Although there is variability in how this aspect of APN practice is described, standards that specifically address therapeutic relationships and partnerships, coaching, communication, patient-family�centered care, guidance, and/or counseling can be found in competency statements for most APN roles (American College of Nurse Midwives [ACNM, 2012]; National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists [NACNS], 2013; National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties [NONPF], 2012).
Since the last edition, developments in public health and health policy within nursing and across disciplines have influenced the conceptualization of the APN guidance and coaching competency. Professional coaching now is recognized within and outside of nursing as a particular intervention, distinct from guidance, mentoring and counseling. This practice, by nurses and other disciplines, focuses on health, healing, and wellness; as the broad understanding of professional coaching evolves, it will influence the evolution of the APN guidance and coaching competency. This edition draws from literature on professional coaching by nurses and others to inform and build on the model of APN guidance and coaching presented in previous editions. It is important to understand that APN guidance and coaching are not synonymous with professional coaching. There are several reasons for this:�The foundational importance of the therapeutic APN-patient (client) relationship is not consistent with professional coaching principles.�The evolving criteria and requirements for certification of professional coaches are not premised on APN coaching skills.�Empirical research findings that predate contemporary professional coaching have affirmed that guidance and coaching are characteristics of APN-patient relationships.
