MODULE 2

TOPIC: Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment and Section B: Proposal/Problem Statement and Literature Review

In order to formulate your evidence-based practice (EBP), you need to assess your organization. In this assignment, you will be responsible for setting the stage for EBP. This assignment is conducted in two parts: an organizational cultural and readiness assessment and the proposal/problem statement and literature review, which you completed in NUR-550.

Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment

It is essential to understand the culture of the organization in order to begin assessing its readiness for EBP implementation. Select an appropriate organizational culture survey tool and use this instrument to assess the organization’s readiness.

1. Develop an analysis of 250 words from the results of      the survey, addressing your organization’s readiness level, possible      project barriers and facilitators, and how to integrate clinical inquiry,      providing strategies that strengthen the organization’s weaker areas.
2. Make sure to include the rationale for the survey      category scores that were significantly high and low, incorporating      details or examples. Explain how to integrate clinical inquiry into the      organization.
3. Submit a summary of your results. The actual survey      results do not need to be included.

Section B: Proposal/Problem Statement and Literature Review

In NUR-550, you developed a PICOT statement and literature review for a population quality initiative. In 500-750 words, include the following:

1. Refine your PICOT into a proposal or problem statement.
2. Provide a summary of the research you conducted to      support your PICOT, including subjects, methods, key findings, and      limitations.

General Guidelines:

You are required to cite five sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Note: After submitting the assignment, you will receive feedback from the instructor. Use this feedback to make revisions for your final paper submission. This will be a continuous process throughout the course for each section.

Choose a clinical situation in your specialty and create a theory from your observations.  Identify and define the concepts involved and the proposition between them. For example, a surgical unit nurse may have observed that elevating the head of the bed for an abdominal surgery patient reduces complaints of pain.  The concepts are head of the bed and pain. The proposition is that changing one will change the other. Raising the head of the bed decreases pain. Use current literature to define your concepts.
