In this task, you
will identify a healthcare problem, develop an evidence-based practice (EBP)
question, and review selected research-based and non-research-based evidence to
find answers to that question.
Note that while you will be analyzing only one research-based and one
non-research-based article in this task, an actual evidence-based practice
change would require the support of many high-quality research studies.
No more than a
combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one
individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources,
even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit
your task can be used as a guide.
Tasks may not be
submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides,
OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other
submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments
(e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
B. Discuss the
impact of a clinical practice problem on the patient or patients and the
organization it affects.
1.
Identify each of the following PICO components of the
clinical practice problem:
• P:
patient, population, or problem
• I:
intervention
• C:
comparison
• O:
outcome
2. Develop an
evidence-based practice (EBP) question based on the clinical practice problem
discussed in part B and the PICO components identified in part B1.
Refer to the “Appendix B: Question
Development Tool” web link for information on the creation of an EBP question.
C. Select a
research-based article that answers your EBP question from part B2 to conduct
an evidence appraisal.
Note: The article you select should
not be more than five years old.
1. Discuss the
background or introduction (i.e., the purpose) of the research-based article.
2. Describe
the research methodology used in the research-based article.
3. Identify
the level of evidence for the research-based article using the Johns Hopkins
Nursing Evidence-Based Practice (JHNEBP) model.
Refer to the “Appendix E: Research
Evidence Appraisal Tool” web link for information on how to level a
research-based article.
4. Summarize
how the researcher analyzed the data in the research-based article.
5. Summarize
the ethical considerations of the research-based article. If none are present,
explain why.
6. Identify
the quality rating of the research-based article according to the JHNEBP model.
Refer to the “Appendix E: Research
Evidence Appraisal Tool” web link for information on how to establish the
quality rating.
7. Analyze the
results or conclusions of the research-based article.
a. Explain how
the article helps answer your EBP question.
D. Select a
non-research-based article from a peer-reviewed journal that helps to answer
your EBP question from part B2 to conduct an evidence appraisal.
Note: The article you select should
not be more than five years old.
1. Discuss the
background or introduction (i.e., the purpose) of the non-research-based
article.
2. Describe
the type of evidence (e.g., case study, quality improvement project, clinical
practice guideline) used in the non-research-based article.
3. Identify
the level of evidence in the non-research-based article using the JHNEBP model.
Refer to the “Appendix F: Non-Research
Evidence Appraisal Tool” web link for information on how to level the
non-research-based article.
4. Identify
the quality rating of the non-research-based article according to the JHNEBP
model.
5. Discuss how
the author’s recommendations in the non-research-based article help answer your
EBP question.
E. Recommend a
practice change that addresses your EBP question using both the
research-based and non-research-based articles you selected for part C and part
D.
1. Explain how
you would involve three key stakeholders in supporting the
practice change recommendation.
2.
Discuss one specific barrier you may encounter when
implementing the practice change recommendation.
3.
Identify one strategy that could be used to overcome the
barrier discussed in part E2.
4.
Identify one outcome (the O component
in PICO) from your EBP question that can be used to measure the recommended
practice change.
F.
Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content
that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
G. Demonstrate
professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
