Question Description

I need a Design for change proposal paper in APA format. The PICOT question I ‘m working on it is: What is the impact of using surgical hand antisepsis in preventing infections after surgery? and I will submit my milestone 1 for you to guide yourself. The main citation that you need to use is on the Milestone 1.Please type on the template paper and let me know if you have any question.

Here the instructions:

You are to create a Design for Change proposal inclusive of your Practice Issue and Evidence Summary worksheet from your Capstone Project Milestone 1. Your plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced. In the event you are not currently working as a nurse, please use a hypothetical clinical situation you experienced in nursing school, or nursing education issue you identified in your nursing program.

Question Description

Please respond with a paragraph to the following post, add citations and references.

The theoretical foundations are different in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, but when both are used together in a study it’s called mixed methods study. In this type of study, the qualitative and quantitative methods are mixed together in a single phenomenon or investigation. This allows more thorough and complete use of data than a single type of research can provide. Collecting and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative can be beneficial and the ideal technique is doing research in a more complex topic where one single method may not provide reliable results. For example, a research may collect qualitative data to access and analyze personal experience of patients regarding quality of care and nosocomial infections and hospital acquired pressure ulcers. The use of qualitative data to explore quantitative finds can be done as well, where a researcher may use a method to explain qualitatively how a quantitative mechanism may work. Some advantages of mix methods include:

1. Compares qualitative and quantitative data

2. Reflects participants point of view

3. Fosters scholar interactions

4. Provides methodologic flexibility

5. Contains comprehensive data

Some disadvantages are:

1. Increased complex elevations-careful planning is required

2. Relies on a multidisciplinary team of researchers where large sample sizes and expertise is needed to meet the common ground

3. Required multiple resources which is time consuming

Evidence-based practice has changed the profession of nursing and the outcome of patients in a positive way. There is new research continuously developing, making new policies and guidelines for the betterment of our patients every day. In nursing the education and the curriculum are affected based on the evidence-based practice. Nurses are the front-line staff and play a vital part of the movement of change. Major deficits within the healthcare system can ultimately harm the patients, which can be prevented. There are several protocols and practices in effect at most facilities which are EBP. One of those protocols include the ventilator-associated pneumonia bundle of care to prevent pneumonia related to mechanical ventilation. At the facility where I work we use this protocol as soon as the patient is intubated and until they are extubated. VAP is one of the leading causes of death in ICUs today. It’s the most common type of nosocomial infection other that a UTI (CAUTI), EBP has proven that the bundle will reduce the risk of ventilator associated pneumonia. This bundle consists of:

1. Elevation of the head of bed

2. Daily sedation vacation and assessment of readiness to extubate the patient

3. Peptic ulcer disease prophylaxis

4. Deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis

5. Oral care and suctioning every two hours and as needed

Even though the VAP bundle has been proven to be effective in the ICU setting, there are more studies and developments being performed to bring new and updated changes for better patient outcomes.

Question description

Overview

Imagine you are on a team at your workplace and have identified a new best practice to implement. In this assignment, you will describe the steps of implementing this new practice. This will require you to do some research of your own about how change comes about in your workplace. You will need to check your policies and procedures and may need to talk with a supervisor with experience in this area. You will need to support your thoughts on why you think a change needs to occur. This should be done by using the literature.

Objectives

• Differentiate among research, research utilization, and evidence-based practice
• Identify the steps of evidence-based practice

References

Minimum of four (4) total references: two (2) references from required course materials and two (2) peer-reviewed references. All references must be no older than five years (unless making a specific point using a seminal piece of information)

Peer-reviewed references include references from professional data bases such as PubMed or CINHAL applicable to population and practice area, along with evidence based clinical practice guidelines.

Assignment based on Milestone #1 attached. 

Question Description

Details:

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components of the course change proposal capstone project.

For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this course (see attachement). The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project. Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Please adhere to nursing information that is related to my PICOT question

Needs to be 1 page

Use Peer reviewed nursing articles that are less than 5 years old
