Part A

Implementing Qualitative Evidence in EBP 4-6 pages with References

Instructions

Write a paper in which you apply the first four steps of the EBP process in relation to the health care challenges presented in the Vila Health: The Best Evidence for a Healthcare Challenge multimedia simulation and readings.

• Use APA Style

• Your paper should be 4–6 pages in length, not including the title page and references page.

Assignment Grading

• Construct a PICO(T) question (step 1 in the EBP process).

• Summarize the PICO(T) components of the health care challenges presented in the following Vila Health scenario and qualitative research study, and write a PICO(T) question:

• • • Vila Health: The Best Evidence for a Health Care Challenge.
    • Carlfjord, S., Öhrn, A., & Gunnarsson, A. (2018). Experiences from ten years of incident reporting in health care: A qualitative study among department managers and coordinators. BMC Health Services Research, 18, 1–9.
  • Your PICO(T) question will be the basis of your search for additional research evidence.
• Implement a search strategy for the best evidence (step 2 in the EBP process).

• Search for one quantitative study that supports the Chief Nursing Officer's suggested intervention or an alternative intervention.
• Base your search strategy on your PICO(T) question and on appropriate study methods and designs with the best evidence.
• Describe your search strategy, and explain how you determined it would lead to finding the best evidence for your PICO(T) question.

• • • What databases did you search?
    • What search terms were most effective?
    • What's your rationale for concluding that you've found the best evidence?
  • Identify and summarize the study you found for this purpose.
• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence in both the qualitative and quantitative research studies, in relation to the health care challenge (step 3 in the EBP process).

• • Conduct a rapid critical appraisal of the study provided by the CNO and the quantitative study you found in your search.
  • Consider the research design and methods in relation to the evidence presented when you choose an appropriate critical appraisal tool and complete the appraisal for each study.
• Interpret the evidence and its implications, in relation to the health care challenge (step 4 in the EBP process).

• • Synthesize all of the evidence, including research evidence, organizational evidence/data, and staff perceptions.
  • Explain why the quantitative study you found and (or) the CNO's study contains the best evidence for your PICO(T) question.
• Recommend a strategy to implement the evidence-based intervention in your PICO(T) question (also part of step 4 in the EBP process).

• • Support your recommended strategy with a synthesis of the evidence presented in the studies and (or) additional relevant and timely resources.
• Explain how health care professionals in multiple roles can apply the findings of the studies to improve practice.

• • Reflect on how you and other health care professionals can improve practice, based on your interpretation of the implications of these studies.
  • This part of your paper extends beyond the steps of the EBP process to address how interprofessional collaboration and communication can lead to improvements in health care.
• Synthesize multiple sources into key themes or findings.

Part B

Evidence-Based Leadership and Motivating Change 2-3 pages with references

Evidence-Based Leadership

As a leader in a health care organization, you will need to engage in evidence-based leadership, serve as a role model for evidence-based decision making, and implement interventions and initiatives to create and sustain an evidence-based organization.

Describe interventions necessary to facilitate the behavioral change of staff and providers to create an evidence-based culture in an organization.

• Explain, based on the four leadership styles discussed in the textbook on pages 334–337, which style you think you might use to support evidence-based processes at your organization.
• Provide an example from your own role where you would have an opportunity to promote evidence-based decision-making.

Part C

Communicating and Disseminating Evidence – 4-6 pages with references

Instructions

Write a paper in which you complete the steps of the EBP process and promote a culture of evidence.

Paper Format and Length

Format your paper using APA style.

• • Title page and references page. An abstract is not required.
  • A running head on all pages.
  • Appropriate section headings.
• Your paper should be 4–6 pages in length, not including the title page and references page.

• Analyze the outcomes of an evidence-based intervention (step 5 in the EBP process).

• • Restate the PICO(T) question and provide a transition to Step 5 of the EBP process, after an evidence-based intervention was implemented and data related to the outcomes have been gathered.
  • Review the information provided in the Vila Health: Creating a Culture of Evidence multimedia simulation, showing results from 2020 (after the intervention) compared to baseline data from 2018 and 2019 (before the intervention).
  • Analyze both qualitative and quantitative outcomes.
• Develop a continuing evaluation plan in relation to the outcomes from an evidence-based intervention (still part of Step 5 of the EBP process).

• Discuss additional data that needs to be collected and methods for doing so.

• • Was the data collected sufficient to show whether the intervention was successful?
  • When, and how often, should the same or other data be collected to continue evaluating the intervention?
  • Justify your conclusions and recommendations.
• Recommend strategies to disseminate outcomes and sustain the evidence-based practice improvements through collaboration with professionals in health care and other fields (Step 6 in the EBP process).

• • Strategies could include how to teach providers or staff about EBP, how to facilitate changes in attitudes and behaviors, and how to lead change.
  • Make recommendations about how the organization can create a culture of evidence.
  • What evidence do you have to support your recommendations?
• Organize your writing so ideas flow logically, with smooth transitions.
• Apply selected resources to improve your writing skills.

• Include an appendix after your reference page in which you identify writing improvement tools or resources you’ve used.
• Include evidence of the use of such tools as the Personal Writing Assessment, MEAL plan, outlining, reverse outlining, and (or) other resources explaining the appropriate use of evidence.
• Explain how you used these tools or resources to improve your writing for this assignment.
