This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to continue development of a MSN EBP scholarly project that started with the identification of a nursing concern and PICOT/PICo question from Week 2. The focus of this assignment is to discuss the research-based literature support for the selected concern, identify an appropriate research design, explain the sampling method, and discuss implementation through the use of a change model.
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcome:
CO #1. Integrate evidence-based practice and research to support advancement of holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings. (PO # 1)
CO #2. Integrate knowledge related to evidence-based practice and person-centered care to improve healthcare
outcomes. (PO #2, 5)
CO #4. Develop knowledge related to research and evidence-based practice as a basis for designing and critiquing research studies. (PO 1, 2, 3, 5)
CO #5. Analyze research findings and evidence-based practice to advance holistic nursing care initiatives that
promote positive healthcare outcomes. (PO 1, 2, 5)
Due Date Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week Five
Total Points Possible: 250 points
