Evidence-Based Project Proposal

Assignment Prompt (My topic is all about Polypharmacy in Long Term Care Facility)

The purpose of the signature assignment is for students to
apply the research and EBP concepts they have learned in this course and
develop a framework for the initial steps of the student’s capstone project.
The assignment allows the student to initiate the steps for planning, researching
and developing an evidence-based practice intervention project proposal.
On or before Day 7, of week eight each student will submit
his or her final proposal paper to the week eight assignment link in D2L. This
formal paper will include and expand upon work completed thus far in prior
assignments.

Essential Components of the Final Project Proposal will
include:
Introduction– Provide an introduction to your topic or
project. The introduction gives the reader an accurate, concrete understanding
what the project will cover and what can be gained from implementation of this
project.
Overview of the Problem – Discuss the problem, why the problem is worth exploring and the
potential contribution of the proposed project to the discipline of nursing.
Project Purpose Statement – Provide a declarative sentence

PICOt formatted Clinical Project Question(s)– Provide the
Population, Intervention, Comparison, Expected Outcomes and Timeframe for the
proposed project.
Literature Review – Provide the key terms used to guide a
search for evidence and discuss at least five (5) summaries of relevant,
credible, recent, evidence-based research studies to support the project
proposal.
Critical Appraisal of Literature – Discuss the strengths and
weaknesses of the evidence, what is known from the evidence and what gaps in
evidence were found from the appraisal of evidence-based research studies.
Develop an EBP Standard – Describe two to three
interventions (or a bundle of care) from the evidence and discuss how
individual patient preferences or the preferences of others will be considered.
Implications – Summarize the potential contributions of the
proposed project for nursing research, education, and practice.
