Evaluation of an Evidence-Based Project 

 

Think about the details expressed in your DNP Project Proposal, which was submitted during NURS 8410. In that document, you described your plan for evaluating your DNP Project. Which evaluation method(s) did you select for your project? What new insights associated with the evaluation of your DNP Project have you gained since you developed your DNP Project Proposal?

For this Discussion, you examine your identified evaluation methods and consider how appropriate they now seem for your DNP Project. As you do this, think about principles of evidence-based practice and appropriate theoretical frameworks that relate to this assessment of your evaluation plan. If there are circumstances that prevent you from assessing your DNP Project evaluation plan, you may complete this Discussion using a different evidence-based project.

To prepare:

• Review      the examples of evaluation presented in the Miake-Lye et al. and McNabney      et al. articles listed in the Learning Resources. Also, consider the      evaluation strategies suggested by Dr. Mauk in the Weeks 4 and 5 media      presentation.
• Analyze      the evaluation plan you developed as part of your DNP Project Proposal.      Which evaluation method(s) did you identify for your project?
• If      you have already concluded the evaluation phase of your DNP Project, what      would you do differently—specific to the evaluation plan—if you could?
• If      possible, compare your project with similar evidence-based projects      presented in other articles from your review of the literature.      Specifically, look at others who had a similar research question or      intervention but evaluated it differently. Consider similarities and      differences in outcomes of these projects. What insights related to your      project does this analysis provide?
• For      this Discussion, you may also consider the evaluation of other      evidence-based projects implemented in your practicum setting. Discuss      this topic with individuals in your practicum setting to strengthen your      understanding of the evaluation of these projects.

By tomorrow Wednesday 6/19, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format and at least three scholarly references (see list of required readings below) that includes the level one headers as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Describe the strengths and limitations of the evaluation plan for your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. 

2) Share insights and opportunities for improvement that can inform future evidence-based projects.

How do you evaluate an evidence-based practice project? In this media segment, Dr. Kris Mauk shares how she evaluated her DNP Project outcomes and provides insights and thought-provoking questions to guide the evaluation process.

Create a 15-20-slide PowerPoint presentation for Mental Health Early Identification and Intervention in the Adolescent Population. Include speaker notes and citations for each slide, and   create a slide at the end for References.

Address the following:

1. Describe the above subject or topic and associated population your     group has selected. Discuss how this topic adversely affects the     population. How does health disparity affect this population?
2. Explain evidence-based approaches that can optimize health for     this population. How do these approaches minimize health disparity     among affected populations?
3. Outline a proposal for health     education that can be used in a family-centered health promotion to     address the issue for the target population. Ensure your proposal is     based on evidence-based practice.
4. Present a general profile     of at least one health-related organization for the selected focus     topic. Present two resources, national or local, for the proposed     education plan that can be utilized by the provider or the   patient.
5. Identify interdisciplinary health professionals     important to include in the health promotion. What is their role?     Why is their involvement significant?

Cite at least five scholarly sources to complete   this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years   and appropriate for the assignment criteria and public health content.

 

Instructions

Oral Presentation Guidelines

Your oral presentation near the end of class will allow you a chance to describe your case scenario and what you have learned from your research paper so that it can be shared with the class as a whole.  Describe how the care you provided lined up with what you researched.  What might you do differently if you were to care for this patient again?  What obstacles were in your way that may have or did prevent you or the nurse from providing care that was evidenced-based or within the realm of best practice guidelines?

Oral Assignment Guidelines

1. Presentations should be between 3-5 minutes in length.

 Fortunately, there are strategies and tools that can help ensure integrity in academic and professional work. This Assignments asks you to consider these and how you might apply them to your own work.

To Prepare:

• In support of academic style, integrity, and scholarly ethics.
• Also reflect on the connection between academic and professional integrity.

Section 1: Writing Sample: The Connection Between Academic and Professional Integrity

Write a 2- 3-paragraph analysis that includes the following:

• Clearly and accurately explains in detail the relationship between academic integrity and writing.
• Clearly and accurately explains in detail the relationship between professional practices and scholarly ethics.
• Accurately cite at least 3 resources that fully support your arguments, being sure to use proper APA formatting.
• Use Grammarly and SafeAssign to improve the product.y

Clearly and accurately describe in detail how Grammarly, SafeAssign, and paraphrasing contributes to academic integrity. Include sufficient evidence that Grammarly and SafeAssign were utilized to improve responses.

Part 3, Section 2: Strategies for Maintaining Integrity of Work

Expand on your thoughts from Section 1 by:

• Clearly identifying and accurately describing strategies you intend to pursue to maintain integrity and ethics of your 1) academic work while a student of the MSN program, and 2) professional work as a nurse throughout your career.
• Include a clearly developed review of resources and approaches you propose to use as a student and a professional.

 Remember to include an introduction paragraph which contains a clear and comprehensive purpose statement which delineates all required criteria, and end the assignment Part with a conclusion paragraph. 

Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan
Part 3: Strategies to Promote Academic Integrity and Professional Ethic

Nurse-scholars have a significant obligation to their community as well. Their work must have academic and professional integrity. Their efforts are designed to add to the body of knowledge, advance the profession, and ultimately help in the care of patients. Work that lacks integrity is subject to quickly erode…or worse.
