Nursing M1 assignment 1 response

What matters at the end of life and Palliative care, a  different voice in healthcare. There are two Utube videos above and you  need to pick only one and tell about it. Here is what you can report on:

a) What is the subject that the speaker is covering?

b) Does it effect the ideas that you have already about palliative care?

c) It is very important for someone to think about and be able to  converse about the subject of death and dying if they are considering  working as a nurse in this area. Why would that be?

the  ROLE OF THE RN/APRN IN POLICY-MAKING

Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role.

What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? Empathetic, organized, hard-working, or advocate would all certainly apply. Would you add policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud?

Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation.

Differences And Similarities Between Quantitative, Qualitative and Mix Methods Research Studies

Quantitative research study uses numerical gathering and analyze numerical data to establish patterns and relationships between the study variables (Fain, 2020). Through this, the research can test hypotheses and develop casual relationships. Some data collection methods employed in this study included experiments, surveys, and observation using questionnaires or other standard techniques. Since the data is collected and coded numerically, it is analyzed through statistical methods such as ANOVA. Generally, this type of study includes a large sample size, representing the whole population linked to the study problem. This concept helps promote validity and applicability of the findings and taxation into clinical practice. According to Hong et al. (2018), when conducting the critical appraisal of quantitative studies, the researcher can consider the sample size, sampling method, data collection method, study methods, and ethical considerations.  

In contrast qualitative research studies analyze patient expenses and perspectives about phenomena, thus developing a better understanding of the study problem (Fain, 2020). Data is mainly collected through focus groups, interviews, and observation to collect textual data presented as a description of the native. Additionally, this study mainly involves a small sample size since the focus is an overview of individuals’ perspectives on the study problem. Since data is presented in textual or visual forms, it is analyzed through categorizing and coding to identify themes and patterns; qualitative study provides useful data on quality improvement, which can be incorporated into clinical practice. By analyzing patient experiences and perspectives, the researcher can pinpoint areas in clinical practice that equips improvement. The critical appraisal focuses on determining the credibility of a qualitative study by analyzing adherence to ethical considerations, sampling methods, theoretical framework and the possibility of evidence translation into clinical practice.

 Mixed method studies involve elements from quantitative and qualitative studies, thus analyzing the strength of each approach in providing a solution to the study problem (Grove & Gray, 2018). Since this design employs  two methods, data is collected from the same participants in textual and numerical form. This helps promote a better understanding of the study findings and draw a strong conclusion. Ata is then analyzed separately, and the findings are integrated when developing a conclusion. The sampling method in mixed-method studies can vary depending on the researcher’s choice and preference. The evidence gathered from these studies can be translated into clinical practice, thus promoting improved patient outcomes. Critical appraisal of these types of studies may involve analyzing how quantitative and qualitative studies have been integrated, the theoretical framework, ethical consideration, presentation of data in textual and numerical form, and the method of sampling used to involve others.

EVIDENCE-BASED PROJECT, PART 4: RECOMMENDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE CHANGE

EVIDENCE-BASED PROJECT, PART 4: RECOMMENDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE CHANGE

The collection of evidence is an activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.

In this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.

To Prepare:

· Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.

· Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection.

· Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience. 

The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

Create an 8- to 9-slide 
narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

· Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)

· Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.

· Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.

· Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.

· Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

· Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.

· Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.

· Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:

· A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted

· An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides)
