Knowledge-to-Action: Intervention SWOT Analysis
Knowledge-to-Action: Intervention SWOT Analysis
It is always good to start a paper with a grabbing statistic (with citation) regarding the topic (the problem which was identified in your article from Week 4) to capture the attention of the reader. Provide a sentence or two discussing the professional nurses’ role for implementation of an improvement project. End the introduction paragraph with a purpose or thesis statement as your last sentence of the paragraph to introduce the main points/sections of your paper. Example: The purpose of this paper is to… discuss the clinical practice problem of hospital acquired infections and provide a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of evidence-based intervention to address a clinical practice problem in YOUR practice setting
*TIP: (be more specific using the problem, practice setting, and intervention you have identified when creating the purpose statement).
Practice Problem Overview
Provide the name of the Unit 4 article and be sure that you are providing appropriate citations. Clearly identify and state the overarching problem within this article’s practice setting (Ex: The clinical practice problem identified within the article is…….). Provide an overview of the information contained within the selected article that supports the existence and significance of the problem. Including information such as participants/setting of the article and data or statistics adds credibility to the significance of the problem. A problem needs to be a real problem, or it is not worth addressing-prove there is a real problem. This section is only about a problem, not a diagnosis or an intervention.
**TIP: Only provide info from the initially selected article from Unit 4 and edits as suggested by the faculty.
Implementation
Provide a few sentences to explain the intervention you selected from the Unit 5 paper and why it was the best for YOUR practice (don’t forget to state the practice setting) as a lead into the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis. Refer the reader to Table 1.
Table 1
SWOT Analysis Chart
Strengths
· Use bullet points to list 3 Strengths of YOUR practice that would support change were you to implement the selected intervention
Weaknesses

*TIP-Strengths and Weaknesses are internal to the practice; Opportunities and Threats are external in relation to the practice. Provide citations & references as applicable to your organization and/or other sources in the narrative content, particularly opportunities and threats.
Strengths
Provide a narrative discussion of the strengths of YOUR practice (internal) that would support change were you to implement the selected intervention . (Ex: healthcare team)
Weaknesses
Provide a narrative discussion of the weaknesses of YOUR practice (internal) that would resist change were you to implement the selected intervention. (Ex: existing technology (EPIC)
Opportunities
A narrative discussion of opportunities that a change might result in (external) were you to implement the selected intervention . (Ex: competitive advantage).
Threats
A narrative discussion of Threats that represent an actual or potential barrier (external) were you to implement the selected intervention. (Ex: New Legislation).
**TIP: The narrative should elaborate on each bullet listed. The narrative is not about the intervention itself, rather, it is the analysis of the feasibility to implement the intervention & sustain it.
Conclusion
Bring the reader back to the main topic of this paper which is the practice problem and the professional nurses’ role for implementation of an improvement project. You should also restate or rephrase your purpose/thesis statement. In a conclusion, you should NOT add new ideas or new information, rather summarize and reflect on key elements of the paper. You can end the conclusion by clarifying the intent and importance of the paper for the reader (Ex: why was this paper important to healthcare)?
**TIP: Notice the Conclusion is a Level 1 Header, centered, and bolded. A conclusion section should be included in all scholarly papers as a place to summarize the paper. It is normally one paragraph in length, succinct, and restates the main points of your paper. If you need to add cited information, move that information to a previous section of your paper.
***Bonus Tip: While there is no specific page requirement, an in-depth review of the clinical practice problem and supporting literature, along with the introduction & conclusion sections is suggested to be no less than 3 pages. With title and reference pages, a total of 5 pages minimum is suggested.
References
Make sure to include functioning doi/url links for retrieval that take the reader to the full article.
**While there is no minimum number of references, scholarly writing for this course is best when supported by no less than 3 current journal articles.
