NRP513 Clinical Applications Of Theory And Research Week 1 Assignment History of Nursing Science and Evidence-Based Practice Outline

Assignment Content

Congratulations! You have been invited to join an evidence-based practice (EBP) committee. The Chair of the committee has taken notice of your enthusiasm and has tasked you with creating an outline of the history of nursing science and how it connects to EBP. The Chair shared the importance of this first task and how it will prepare the committee to effectively apply foundational knowledge needed to develop an EBP project covering a key concept pertinent to advanced practices in nursing. Your EBP committee will be meeting each week to ensure everyone is on track. You have identified the importance of focusing on first things first: scientific paradigms, nursing theory and research, and elements of EBP. You have blocked time on your schedule, and you are ready to get started.

Create a detailed outline in which you address the following:

Scientific paradigms of nursing science Nursing theory and research Evidence-based practice approach for advanced nursing practice Outline should be brief, but still include sufficient detail to demonstrate an understanding of the required content. Provide references for all sources cited. Format your assignment according to APA guidelines, including title and reference pages.

In your presentation, ensure that you complete the following:

Describe the credentials of the author(s): academic credentials, position held, and any other information available (which is usually located at the bottom of first page of an article or after the reference list). Explain why you selected the concept analysis. Describe each step of concept analysis from the article. The number of steps in the concept analysis will depend on the method selected by the author(s). Describe how you could apply the concept analysis to your practice. Provide references for all sources cited. Format your assignment according to APA guidelines, including title and reference slides.

Assignment Content

Now that you’ve covered foundational theory and concept analysis, you’re excited to focus on research reports. In closing remarks from your previous meeting, your committee voiced concerns around the challenges of reviewing research findings and disseminating research evidence. You’ve decided to develop a resource guide and summary for effectively reviewing a research report. Review p. 95, including Box 3.3: Additional Questions for a Preliminary Review of the Study, in Ch. 3 of Nursing Research for guidance on identifying the structure of research articles. Create a resource guide (handout) to share with your committee detailing the process of reading a research report (e.g. How To’s for Reading a Research Report). Include step-by-step instructions using the IMRAD format and accurate research terminology. Write a 700-word summary detailing the process you outlined within your handout. This summary will serve as a companion to your handout and include any additional support information needed to ensure the topic of reading a research report is effectively explained. Provide references for all sources cited. Format your summary according to APA guidelines, including title and reference pages.
