Formative Assessment

This formative assessment serves as a steppingstone towards a summative evaluation by reinforcing your understanding of the evidence translation process, which is critical for effective patient care and informed decision-making in nursing. Completing this assessment will prepare you for real-world application of evidence-based practices, making you an integral part of advancing healthcare outcomes in your future career. 

Instructions: 

For this assignment, you will create a brief proposal demonstrating the process of translating evidence from nursing research and other scientific sources into practice for a specific clinical problem in your area of nursing.  

1. Select a Clinical Problem: Identify a nursing practice issue in your field that could benefit from evidence translation.
2. Identify Relevant Evidence: Conduct a brief literature review to find at least two pieces of evidence — one from nursing science and another from an interdisciplinary field (such as public health, psychology, or social work).
3. Draft a Proposal: Write a concise proposal (1-2 pages) addressing the following: 
   • Describe the clinical problem. 
   • Summarize the evidence identified from each source. 
   • Outline the steps you would take to translate the identified evidence into practice, including potential barriers and strategies to overcome them.
