NSG6999 Graduate Project in Nursing Discussion Assignments Week 1 – Assignment 2 Discussion
In their work, Melynk and Fineout-Overholt (2011) outline seven key steps in the evidence-based practice (EBP) process, with the first being to foster a spirit of inquiry. To inspire this mindset, the current discussion invites you to:
- Identify a Problem or Issue: Choose a problem or issue from your specialty area that you believe requires improvement. You may refer to the Doctor of Nursing Practice site here for examples of relevant projects. Some possible areas to explore include:
- Educational programs
- Evidence-based healthcare policy changes
- Evidence-based clinical issues or protocols related to specific diseases/conditions
- Discuss the Relevance of the Issue: From your perspective, explain why this issue is important in relation to your advanced nursing role (without citing literature at this point).
- What Sparked Your Interest?: Describe what caught your attention about this particular problem or issue.
- Relation to Your Specialty: How does this issue connect with your chosen area of specialization?
- Evidence-Based Support: What led you to believe that evidence exists to justify this change? (Refer to the note below.)
- Rationale for an Evidence-Based Project: Explain why this will be an evidence-based project aimed at improving outcomes, rather than generating new evidence through research.
Note: Keep in mind that the project will not be implemented during the course, and no data will be collected. The goal is to complete a project proposal only.
This assignment is designed to encourage thoughtful reflection on potential improvements in your field, laying the groundwork for a robust evidence-based project.
