Capstone in Applied Practice II Methods

Capstone in Applied Practice II

Methods: Revision of Section 1

This week, you will submit a revised version of Section 1 of your Methods section on the basis of faculty feedback. Remember that Section 1 should include the following information:

Overview of the Approach/Design: This section should make clear to the reader the way that you intend to approach the clinical question and the techniques and logic that you will use to address it.

Site, Agency, or Participant Information: This section should include a description of key information related to the practicum site and key variables that describe any participants (often called the sample) that you wish to include in your project.

Methods: What will you do? Nurses or other healthcare professionals may wish to replicate your work in their settings. When others replicate your work, it allows for verification of your findings, an opportunity for improved quality, safety, or finances in another setting, or the potential for collaboration with colleagues who share your same interests. To make results verifiable, you need to give a complete and accurate description of the techniques that you will be using for your project. This section should be clear, direct, and to the point while writing your methodology.
