Describe various processes for protecting the rights of study participants
Research Simulation
As part of this module, you need to participate in the video simulation The Research Clinic (Links to an external site.). Institutional Review Boards (IRB) typically require training in ethical research practice for its members and researchers.
This activity will address the following module outcomes:
MO 1: Identify ethical implications that may arise in the translation and generation of evidence. (EPSLO 2; SLO 5)
MO 3: Describe various processes for protecting the rights of study participants. (EPSLO 2; SLO 5)
MO 4: Analyze social, cultural, and political factors that may impact ethical research practice. (EPSLO 2; SLO 5)
You can access The Research Clinic (Links to an external site.) here. During the training, you have the opportunity to take on the role of the IRB Chairperson, the lead physician researcher, the research nurse, and her associate. This activity is worth 10 points towards your grade. Course readings are lighter during this module to give you time to complete the training. There is no cost.

EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE
Module 6 Assignment
Investigation of Evidence for Nursing
This course has Turnitin® fully integrated into the course dropbox. This means that you should only submit your assignments to the dropbox below. Please do not submit your assignment directly to Turnitin.com.
Once submitted, your assignment will be evaluated by Turnitin® automatically. You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student papers. Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately. The overall match can be no higher than 15%, with any one match no higher than 2%. You may resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the assignment. However, once you have made your first submission, you will need to wait 24 hours after each subsequent submission to receive a new Originality Report. Plan accordingly as you draft your assignment. Once the due date has passed, your assignment submission will be considered final.
In this assignment, you will identify a nursing problem, investigate available evidence, and either present a plan for practice change or a proposal for further research. You will use the Stetler Model as a guide. This paper has two parts, outlined below. The Stetler Model is explained on pp. 384-389 of your textbook. You may use material from your discussion posts in this paper, however, you will need to revise them as necessary to meet the objectives of this assignment.
This activity will address the following module outcomes:
MO2: Analyze models to implement and sustain EBP. (EPSLO 7; SLO 4)
MO5: Explain the role of the master’s-prepared nurse in translating evidence for practice changes in an inter-professional team. (EPSLO 2; SLO 1)
Part I: Analysis of Evidence: Due Week 10
In Part I of the assignment, you will use Phase I, II, and III of the Stetler Model. These steps are described in further detail below. Please use the grading rubric to guide your work.
Phase I: Preparation
Define the nursing problem and present your research question. Make sure you describe the context of the problem, and why you think practice should change. Clearly identify the target population and potential benefits the population may reap from the proposed practice change.
Phase II: Validation
Assemble a body of evidence supporting your proposal for practice change. Perform a literature review to gather research evidence. Critique the merit of each article using the information in Chapter 5 & 6 in Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (2019) as a guide. Present relevant cultural and contextual factors, your own individual experience and degree of expertise in this area, and preferences and values of the population.
Use the qualitativePreview the document [XLSX, file size 21 KB] and quantitativePreview the document [XLSX, file size 21 KB] research score cards to help organize your work and develop your own thoughts about the merits of each study. It is not necessary to complete a critique if one of your sources is a clinical guideline. A completed research score card must be submitted for each article when you submit your paper. Submit all research score cards to the separate dropbox, using the appropriate score card for each study, labeled M6A1: Research Critique Forms Submission Only.
You should have a minimum of seven sources (external evidence) that provide evidence about your proposed change in practice.
All seven external sources must be primary sources, robust systematic reviews, or clinical guidelines derived form a large data base.
Five of these sources must be from peer-reviewed nursing journals.
Two sources can be from other disciplines (if appropriate), but must also be peer reviewed.
You may use a clinical guideline as one of your sources, if appropriate.
Phase III: Comparative Evaluation/Decision Making
Synthesize the results of the evidence. Logically present and analyze the evidence, comparing and contrasting the results. This is not an annotated bibliography or a series of summaries of each article. It is a synthesis of pertinent information from the evidence. Evaluate all of the available evidence (external sources, relevant cultural and contextual factors, your own individual experience and degree of expertise in this area, and preferences and values of the population) and determine if it provides sufficient evidence to support an evidence based practice change.
This portion of the paper should be 8-10 pages in length (not including title page or references) and is due Week 10. You will receive a grade on this portion of the paper and instructor feedback. You should review the feedback, and incorporate it into Part II. Your grade on Part II will be partially dependent on revisions made to Part I.

You may use material from your discussion posts in this paper, however, you will need to revise them as necessary to meet the objectives of this assignment.
This activity will address the following module outcome:
MO3: Using the Stetler model, analyze evidence to present a practice change or a research proposal (EPSLO 7; SLO 4)
Part II: Translation/ Generation of Evidence to Practice: Due Week 13
Phase IV: Translation/ Generation
This section is your recommendation, based on the results of the review of evidence. Did you find evidence that supports a practice change? Or did you find a gap in the evidence that points to the need for further research? Depending on the results of your search, you will either complete Option A) write a plan for an evidence-based practice proposal or Option B) propose a plan to conduct research that addresses the gap in evidence. The instructions for Option B are outlined below. This portion of the paper may be written from a first person point of view, as this is your plan for a change in practice. However, bear in mind that this is not an opinion paper, it is a recommendation based on evidence. As an evidence- based leader, you will use current, pertinent evidence to support your proposal and strategies for implementation. Please use the grading rubric to guide your work.
You will add this portion of the paper to the revisions you made in Part I, submitting one document in Week 13, comprised of Part I (revised) and Part II. All references should be on one page, at the end of the entire document. The total length for Parts I & II should be 16- 20 pages (excluding title page and references).
Option B: Research Proposal. To be used if evidence was not strong enough to support a change in practice and there is a need for further research. Please refer to Chapter 19 & 20 in your textbook for further guidance. Be sure to use current, pertinent literature to support your ideas.
Briefly summarize your recommendations based on the evidence, clearly identifying the gap in evidence. Explain why you think it is important to gain further evidence on this topic.
Present your research question and independent and dependent variables (if quantitative)
Identify a theoretical basis, and explain how the theory will guide the research.
