The purpose of this assignment is to draw upon previous learning in the course to create a proposal for an evidence-based practice intervention.

Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Outline

Earlier in the course, an issue was identified that influences practice. The impact of the issue was explored, and an evidence-based intervention was proposed via development of a PICOT statement. Scholarly literature was reviewed to identify evidence in support of the interventionin order to achieve the outcome described in the PICOT statement.

The purpose of this assignment is to draw upon previous learning in the course to create a proposal for an evidence-based practice intervention. The outline will include the following elements: overview and significance of the practice issue, PICOT statement, description of proposed intervention and expected outcome, synthesis of evidence from scholarly literature to support the proposed intervention, andstakeholder implications.

COURSE OUTCOMES

Through this assignment, the student will address the following Course Outcomes:

CO #1. Integrate evidence-based practice and research to support advancement of holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings.  (PO # 1) 

CO #2. Integrate knowledge related to evidence-based practice and person-centered care to    improve healthcare outcomes. (PO #2, 5)

CO #4. Develop knowledge related to research and evidence-based practice as a basis for designing and critiquing research studies.  (PO 1, 2, 3, 5)

CO #5. Analyze research findings and evidence-based practice to advance holistic nursing careinitiatives that promote positive healthcare outcomes. (PO 1, 2, 5)
