<strong>NUR504</strong> week3<br />
This is a CLC Assignment.<br />
You will be assigned to a CLC group by the instructor.<br />
Within your group, follow the instructions provided in the CLC Assignment: Evidence-Based Practice Project (EBP).<br />
Finalize the CLC Agreement.<br />
CLC Assignment: Evidence-Based Project (EBP)
Group work has benefits <strong>and</strong> liabilities. Everyone assigned to a CLC is expected to equ<strong>all</strong>y participate in the work in<br />
terms of time <strong>and</strong> quality of effort. The assignment should be apportioned to make the best use of the strengths of<br />
individual team members. Some of you are natural leaders. Your strengths can be your greatest liabilities. No one<br />
wants to be bossed around no matter how skilled the boss. Honest communication is critical to effective group work.<br />
The best way to avoid conflict is to set very clear expectations. Then, if someone does not do what is expected, he or<br />
she can be referred to the original agreement rather than have the confrontation become personal.<br />
At the end of the project, students will have an opportunity to evaluate each other. These evaluations will be taken<br />
into consideration when grading individuals within the group. The grade will be given for the project as compared to<br />
the rubric for evaluation. Depending on your evaluations, individual grades will be equal to or less than the over<strong>all</strong><br />
grade. <strong>Course</strong> faculty are able to observe the process in the CLC forum. If your work takes place outside the forum,<br />
this information will be absent. Be certain, even if you communicate via e-mail, phone, or face-to-face, to record the<br />
communication in the CLC forum.<br />
NOTE: The final course of your program will require you to develop <strong>and</strong> implement an EBP guideline. This is your<br />
opportunity to learn the process <strong>and</strong> perhaps even identify an area of interest. Your choice of a topic for the capstone<br />
course should be related to your area of specialty. Each course you take will provide you with the opportunity to<br />
investigate theory <strong>and</strong> empirical literature to identify the relevant evidence you will need to complete this project. The<br />
more effort you expend now to learn this process, the easier it will be for you to complete the program efficiently.<br />
Topic 1:<br />
Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Agreement<br />
1) Check into your CLC group.<br />
a) Describe your prior experience with evidence-based practice (EBP) includingparticipation in developing EBP<br />
guidelines or protocols for changing practice.<br />
CLC Agreement<br />
1) Review the CLC Agreement<br />
a) Choose one member totransfer the CLC Agreement to the CLC forum, input the CLC’s responses for <strong>all</strong> sections<br />
of the Agreement, <strong>and</strong> submit the CLC Agreement.<br />
b) Each member should provide their contact information on the CLC Agreement <strong>and</strong> decide what tasks in the Project<br />
Management Specifics section they will be responsible for.<br />
c) In the CLC Forum, discuss <strong>and</strong> provide responses for each component of the CLC Agreement. The CLC Group<br />
Review Process will be completed at the end of your project.<br />
d) Discuss the advantages <strong>and</strong> disadvantages of working in a team environment.<br />
2) Record <strong>all</strong> communication in the CLC Forum.<br />
3) Complete the CLC agreement, except for the CLC Group Review Process.<br />
4) Submit the completed CLC Agreement to the instructor at the end of Topic 2.<br />
Topic 2:<br />
Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Agreement.<br />
Brainstorm: Initiate conversation regarding potential topics of interest.<br />
1) This should be a nursing related problem, that is, a problem related to nursing practice, advance practice,<br />
leadership, or education. .<br />
2) Identify several topics of interest <strong>and</strong> have individual group members do a quick survey of the literature to be sure<br />
that there is evidence available.<br />
3) In order to develop a guideline/protocol, you will need credible resources. Read pages 29-34 for guidance in
identifying sources of evidence.<br />
a) The course readings include <strong>all</strong> of the information needed to complete this project. Chapters 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 provided the<br />
necessary information regarding EBP <strong>and</strong> how to find evidence. Chapter 5 provides strategies for locating credible<br />
information. The sooner these chapters are read carefully, with the project in mind, the easier it will be.<br />
4) Record <strong>all</strong> communication in the CLC Forum.<br />
Topic 3:<br />
Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Identification of Clinical Question<br />
1) Refer to Figure 2.2 in the textbook for the model you will use to complete this project.<br />
a. Note that you will not complete the entire process in this model, you will reach the step entitled,Pilot the change in<br />
practice.<br />
2) As a group, finalize your choice of topic.<br />
a. Review the literature regarding clinical problems presented in the previous topic in order to ensure that there is<br />
adequate evidence for your choice.<br />
b. State your topic in the form of a problem statement <strong>and</strong> a foreground question.<br />
c. The course readings include <strong>all</strong> of the information you need to complete this project.<br />
d. Record <strong>all</strong> communication in the CLC Forum.<br />
3) Choose one team member to submit the completed assignment <strong>and</strong> initial reference list to the instructor by the end<br />
of Topic4.<br />
Topic 4:<br />
Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Literature Search/Appraisal of Evidence<br />
1) UseFigure 2.1, Evidence hierarchy pyramid, inthe textbook as your guide for the levels of evidence in your<br />
reference list.<br />
2) Locate case studies, relevant clinical articles written by experts, research articles,, evidence based guidelines <strong>and</strong><br />
protocols<strong>and</strong> theory that may guide the identification of appropriate solutions. This can include the articles reviewed<br />
from topic 3. Note, not <strong>all</strong> theories will have research that <strong>all</strong>ows them to have a level assigned to them. This does not<br />
mean they are not good theories.<br />
3) Appraise the evidence using the guidelines provided on pages 37-40 in the textbook.<br />
a. Use these guidelines to discard references that are untrustworthy or irrelevant.<br />
b. Use Box 2.2 to help with this decision-making process.<br />
4) Use the following to organize the evidence by commonalities <strong>and</strong>/or contrary findings:<br />
a. Chapter 5in the textbook provides information regarding how to synthesize the article findings.<br />
b. Use the EBP Project Evaluation tool located in resources to consolidate <strong>and</strong> present the findings<br />
5) Record <strong>all</strong> communication in the CLC Forum.<br />
Topic 5:<br />
Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Literature Search/Appraisal of Evidence<br />
1) Continue with the articles used inTopic 4.<br />
2) Complete the Synthesis Table for the evidence <strong>and</strong> variables for the guideline.<br />
a. Limit the articles to no more than ten; two per student in the CLC group would be reasonable.<br />
b. A true proposal would require a comprehensive review of the literature <strong>and</strong> inclusion of <strong>all</strong> relevant works.<br />
3) Record <strong>all</strong> communications in the CLC Forum.
Topic 6:<br />
Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Develop Clinical Guideline <strong>and</strong> Implementation Plan<br />
1) Initiate work on developing a guideline or protocol based on your search of the literature.<br />
2) Consider how to implement the intervention to test the protocol.<br />
3) Identify potential barriers <strong>and</strong> describe strategies to gain cooperation from individuals who will be implementing the<br />
change.<br />
4) Record <strong>all</strong> communication in the CLC Forum.<br />
Topic 7:<br />
Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Development Guidelines <strong>and</strong> Implementation Plan<br />
1. Complete the protocol <strong>and</strong> write the plan to pilot the change in practice.<br />
2. The Clinical Guidelines should include the problem statement, EBP question, literature review, along with <strong>all</strong> the<br />
tables used to arrive at the conclusion (can be appendices), the clinical protocol, <strong>and</strong> the implementation plan.. There<br />
is no specific template for this guideline/assignment.<br />
3. The Implementation Plan for the protocol should include a timeline with criteria for evaluating the outcomes.<br />
4. Use APA style headings for each section with subheadings as appropriate.<br />
a. References should include <strong>all</strong> documents used for literature review along with sources used to guide the process.<br />
1. Record <strong>all</strong> communication in the CLC Forum.<br />
6. Submit the completed assignment to the instructor on the last day of Topic 7 <strong>and</strong> have one CLC member post the<br />
completed assignment <strong>all</strong> together in Topic 8 discussion forum.<br />
Address the following:<br />
1. Write one research summary that uses a quantitative research design.<br />
2. Write one research summary that uses a qualitative research design.<br />
3. Each summary should be 250-500 words <strong>and</strong> should follow the template, Summarize Research Articles.<br />
