Weeks 1 and 2 PICOT Presentation B

/in /by

 

In your upcoming Advanced Practice Nursing Practicum and Culminating Experience courses, you will be asked to develop a change project and to implement this project in the field. To review the early steps in the research process, we have developed a mini-practice research assignment to prepare you. During this lesson, you will use the PICOT questioning format/formula to develop an answerable research question. All elements are listed below:

  • P: Population/disease (age, gender, ethnicity, disorder)
  • I: Intervention or variable of interest (exposure to a disease, risk behavior, prognostic factor)
  • C: Comparison (a placebo or “business as usual” such as no disease, absence of risk factor, or prognostic factor B)
  • O: Outcome (risk of disease, accuracy of a diagnosis, rate of occurrence of adverse outcome)
  • T: Time (the time it takes to demonstrate an outcome; e.g., the time it takes for the intervention to achieve an outcome or how long participants are observed)

Prepare an evidence-based practice (EBP) presentation on a topic of your choice that is relevant to advanced nursing practice education, leadership, quality improvement, or change.

Your presentation should include:

  1. Identification of an advanced practice nursing issue or practice problem of concern
  2. Design a research question using the PICOT format
  3. A brief literature review and findings related to best practices with at least three scholarly resources cited in APA (6th ed.) format
  4. Plan, Do, Study, Act Process that could be used
  5. Any implications that the investigation might have for nursing practice
  6. Your presentation—created using the Kaltura recording tool—should include, audio, video, and either an integrated PowerPoint presentation or a recording using visual aids

     MAIN POSTING 6050

     Evaluation is an invaluable component of all policy programs.  It provides data, commentary, and critical evidence for ongoing improvement, enhancement, and effectiveness of programs. It helps policymakers, administrators, clinicians, financial stakeholders, and the public understand what works and what needs to change to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities (Milstead & Short, 2019).

     There are some opportunities that exists for RN and APRNs to actively participate in policy review.  One of such opportunity is by joining a professional organization, these organizations often have lobbyists that bring nursing issues to Capitol Hill.  An example of such an organization is the American Nurses Association (ANA) which helps the RNs and the APRNs to understand how they can engage in policy review.  Nurses can participate in policy review on local, state, and federal levels (American Nurses Association, 2020).

     Another opportunity for RNs and APRNs to participate in policy review is through the workplace. The nurses are professionals who have the responsibility and capacity to influence the existing healthcare delivery programs.  A major role of the RNs and APRNs is to promote quality health and this can be achieved by participating in policy review.  Nonetheless, these opportunities have their challenges.  Some nurses do not want to belong to professional organizations due to financial obligations and time constraints.  In the workplace, nurses are not even aware of the policies that need to be reviewed.

     Strategies to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities to participate in policy review is to create awareness of the benefits of professional organizations to nurses. Nursing schools need to include healthcare policy education as part of their curriculum as well as encourage some form of political involvement.  Employers need to provide nurses with the time and resources to help them participate in policy review.  According to Laureate Education (2018), policy evaluation helps us to know if we are achieving our goals, if we are off the mark, and how we can improve.
