Assignment Question
Prompt: The purpose of this assignment is to state your clinical/practice question and explore the literature pertaining to your clinical/practice problem as you described in your Module 3 Discussion Board . According to Moran et al. (2020) when conducting a literature review, the goal is to obtain a representative sample of the literature which describes the concepts related to the phenomenon of interest and the research results applicable to the clinical/practice question and identify what gaps need to be further researched. Your work for this paper may be used to build upon your scholarly project and publishable manuscript—thus it is important that you align your literature review with the topic you have selected (or are considering) for your PICOT question and DNP project. My PICOT: (P) In assessing the severity of depression in primary care, does (I) improving staff education on using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) screening (C) compared to no specific training (O) increase immediate access to mental health services (T) over two months? My DNP Project: Improving staff education on utilization of the PHQ-9 screening in primary care. Instructions: Follow the rubric below. Your work for this paper may be used to build upon your scholarly project and publishable manuscript—thus it is important that you align your literature review with the topic you have selected (or are considering) for your PICOT question and DNP project. Paper length is no more than 8 pages excluding references and title page. Here is a template to use as a guide (see attachment) Exemplars—-I am providing 2 exemplars for you to view. Neither of these papers are perfect, nor did either paper earn 100%. However, each paper is excellent. These exemplars are shared just for you to ‘see’ what your paper might ‘look’ like. Note that you must write your paper according to APA 7th edition…this is a format as well as a method for citing and referencing. The exemplars are in 6th edition APA format, so there are differences. In the grading rubric, please also see that 30 points are allotted to the writing of a graduate level paper. If you are having difficulty with your writing, you may want to make an appointment with the NKU Writing Center for assistance, they are very helpful.
