NR 505 Advance Research Method: Evidence-based Practice

(Chamberlain College – Spring 2016)

 

Week 5 TD 1 – Descriptive Statistics

Complete a PICO(T) search on bicycle safety. What does the research say about this issue? Select one of the articles from your search. Identify the descriptive statistics. Is anything missing? To what extent are minorities included in the study (or is that demographic information available?)? How does the descriptive data help you understand the research?

 

Week 5 TD 2 – Inferential Statistics

Describe the inferential tests that were used (e.g., t-tests and chi-squares). Given the p-values related to the tests, how do you interpret the results? Are statistically significant findings also clinically significant? What are the recommendations, based on this paper? Share some alternate explanations (mediating or intervening variables) for the results of the study.

Health Promotion Proposal

/in /by

Assignment 3: Course Project: Health Promotion Proposal

Overview/Description:

The purpose of this assignment is to provide the student an opportunity to design a health promotion proposal specific to your role specialization.

Each student will write a scholarly paper that demonstrates graduate school level writing and critical analysis of existing nursing knowledge. The paper will be a minimum of 12 pages and maximum of 15 pages, using APA style.

There are multiple sections to the project. These include:

  1. Identification of a specific health promotion topic, along with a well-defined target population. This will be due in Week 1.
  2. Critically analyze the current literature related to this topic, which is due inWeek 2.
  3. Create an intervention plan for the identified problem, which is due in Week 4.
  4. Create an evaluation plan for the intervention, which is due in Week 5, along with all other project sections.

The final project is due in Week 5 and will be composed of the above sections which you will adjust weekly based upon the feedback from your facilitator. All sections will be submitted in one document. Additional explanation for each section is provided in the relevant week’s directions.

Project-Specific Criteria:

  • Clearly describe the health promotion/disease prevention problem specific to the target population.
  • Explain how the selected problem applies to advanced practice in the student’s role option.
  • Critically analyze the current literature related to interventions that address the problem related to communities from nursing, the sciences, and humanities.
  • Select an appropriate health promotion/disease prevention theoretical framework that applies to the problem.
  • Design an intervention to address the problem in the selected population/setting using appropriate epidemiological, social, and environmental assessments.
  • Design an evaluation plan to measure efficacy of the proposed intervention.

Choosing Your Topic

The frist step in the project is to identify a topic appropriate for a health promotion project. There are multiple areas to look for acceptable projects, such as the Health People 2020 site, The Institute of Medicine, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ), and current literature in the South University library. You may also want to look at the websites for professional nursing organizations who may also have listings of health promotion priorities.

If you have any difficulty in identifying the topic, please talk to your instructor. Once you are clear on the area of interest, narrow the topic to something that is specific and measureable. For example, if you are interested in the care of the elderly, you may want to focus on a project to lessen the fall rate for the elderly.

Week 1 Project Task:

Prepare a proposal in the form of a two-page paper which describes a detailed plan for the project. By Monday, September 5, 2016, post your proposal to the W1: Assignment 3 Dropbox. The facilitator will give you feedback that may require you to revise and refine your plan.

Martha is a 65-year-old woman who recently retired from her job as an administrative assistant at a local hospital. Her medical history is significant for hypertension, which has been controlled for years with hydrochlorothiazide. She reports that lately she is having a lot of trouble sleeping, she occasionally feels like she has a “racing heartbeat,” and she is losing her appetite. She emphasizes that she is not hungry like she used to be. The only significant change that has occurred lately in her life is that her 87-year-old mother moved into her home a few years ago. Mom had always been healthy, but she fell down a flight of stairs and broke her hip. Her recovery was a difficult one, as she has lost a lot of mobility and independence and needs to rely on her daughter for assistance with activities of daily living. Martha says it is not the retirement she dreamed about, but she is an only child and is happy to care for her mother. Mom wakes up early in the morning, likes to bathe every day, and has always eaten 5 small meals daily. Martha has to put a lot of time into caring for her mother, so it is almost a “blessing” that Martha is sleeping and eating less. She is worried about her own health though and wants to know why, at her age, she suddenly needs less sleep.

Project Charter Elements

/in /by

When considering the elements of a project charter, project managers focus on the three vitally important elements of scope, cost, and time. Project managers call these elements the “triple constraint” and group them together, as modifying one will typically affect the remaining two. Although the “triple constraint” may serve as the backbone of a project charter, other elements can also prove to be important.

 

In this Discussion, you analyze how the “triple constraint” impacts the development of a project charter and describe two additional project charter elements that you believe to be influential.

 

To prepare:

 

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources on the elements of a project charter.
  • Think about the impact of SCOPE on the development of a project charter.
  • By Day 1 of this week, your Instructor will assign you one element of the “triple constraint.”(SCOPE) Reflect on how SCOPE impacts the development of a project charter.
  • Consider which project charter elements aside from the “triple constraint” are highly influential.

 

 

 

Post in 24 hours a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references which include:

 

1) An analysis of how the element of the “triple constraint” (SCOPE) that you were assigned impacts the development of a project charter.

 

2) Describe two additional elements of a project charter that you believe to be highly influential. Provide a rationale for your selections.

About the class

 

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND NURSING This course explores the economic issues relevant to nursing practice and health care and uses a systems approach to analyzing the financial impact of health care decisions. The course further assesses the financial implications of nursing decisions from a clinical perspective. Topics include a myriad of financial concepts ranging from staffing and budgeting to measuring productivity and forecasting costs. The goal of this course is to enable nurses in managerial roles to implement change without negatively affecting patient care outcomes.

 

 

3.

Research with multiple parts.

Provide the research question you are considering for your Literature Review and your rationale behind your choice. What challenges do you anticipate or questions might you have as you begin the research process? Do you have any pre-conceived notions or expectations related to your potential findings?

1. Use the information below to guide your responses in the “Research Question” discussion board in Schreiner

 

 

Discussion Board

1. Return to the “Research Question” discussion and follow the 3-2-1 style response where you:

· Select 3 classmates’ posts to respond to in 100-200 words

· Include 2 relative or substantive comments in each response

· Include 1 suggestion or idea for further exploration

· Include the support of valid references with correct APA style of referencing. Remember, your textbook is a reliable information source, and page citations are immensely helpful to everyone.

 

To help identify a researchable research question, consider the following suggested strategy. Begin with a broad area of interest (i.e., safe staffing levels, hunger, obesity) and then begin to streamline this focus (i.e., personal, client, or organizational factors that influence definitions of safe staffing; the impact of access to grocery stores or local farmers’ markets has on abating hunger; influence of personalized education programs discussing exercise and diet on weight reduction).
