NUR590 Evidence Based Practice Project

Week 1 Discussion

DQ1 Based on the PICOT you developed for NUR-550, summarize the change initiative you will be proposing. How does this support the population of focus, your setting, and role? Justify how the problem you selected to investigate is amenable to a research-based intervention using the PICOT format.

DQ2 Discuss the role of EBP in your specialty area of practice. Compare and contrast the role and implementation of EBP in your specialty with another advanced registered nurse specialty.

Week 2 Discussion

DQ1 Do you foresee any issues with implementation of your project? Identify stakeholders who could assist in supporting you, and any theoretical frameworks (organizational change, leadership, role-specific) or models that could help you adapt.

DQ2 What strategies will you use in your new practice as an advance registered nurse to review and critique literature pertinent to your practice?

Week 3 Discussion

DQ1 What levels of evidence are present in relation to research and practice, and why are they important regardless of the method you use?

DQ2 What factors must be assessed when critically appraising quantitative studies (e.g., validity, reliability, and applicability)? Which is the most important? Why?

Week 4 Discussion

DQ1 What are some of the obstacles or barriers to implementing EBP in nursing? Provide a rationale for your answer. Since there are numerous topics on the issue, it is not appropriate to repeat one that has already been mentioned unless providing new information.

DQ2 Ensuring the protection of human subjects is necessary when conducting research projects. What are some methods that can be used to protect personal rights of someone in one of the groups that is labeled as vulnerable? Consider how a patient’s values and your own clinical judgment must be considered before applying the evidence in clinical decision making for an individual patient.

Week 5 Discussion

DQ1 Identify the components of implementing your evidence-based practice project. What has been the most difficult component, and why? What do you think has gone well? Provide one piece of advice you would give to a colleague about the implementation process.

DQ2 Identify two stakeholder barriers you might experience during the implementation phase of your evidence-based practice project. This could range from support of the evidence-based project proposal to communication gaps. How could you address these problems?

Week 6 Discussion

DQ1 When reviewing the literature and different types of evidence for your project, what gaps in the findings did you encounter? How could these gaps influence other researchers?

DQ2 What is the difference between statistically significant evidence and clinically significant evidence? How would each of these findings be used to advance an evidenced-based practice project?

Week 7 Discussion

DQ1 Identify the audience for your EBP proposal and discuss strategies for disseminating the proposal.

DQ2 How will you ensure that all appropriate audiences receive information about research and EBP initiatives?

Week 8 Discussion

DQ1 Post a rough draft of your “Evidence-Based Practice Presentation.” The purpose of this draft is to get feedback from your peers. Identify at least two areas you would like specific feedback for improvement.

Peers are encouraged to also comment on anything they feel is successful or could be further improved. Review all of the presentations, but provide critical commentary for at least one other posted presentation.

DQ2 The EBP process is a powerful way of advancing improvements in health care. Identify three strategies that you will now incorporate into your practice based on this course. Explain your rationale.

Discussion for Week 1

DQ1 Summarize the modification initiative you will propose based on the PICOT you created for NUR-550. How does this help the demographic of interest, your setting, and your role? Using the PICOT format, explain how the topic you choose to explore is amenable to a research-based intervention.

DQ2 Discuss the role of EBP in your speciality practice area. Contrast the role and implementation of EBP in your speciality with that of another advanced registered nurse specialty.
