Refinement of a Nursing Concern into an Evidence-based

  1. Overview of Selected Evidenced-based Practice Project: This section provides a foundation to the MSN EBP scholarly project. It should contain the following elements:
    • Explain the relationship between research and evidenced-based practice (EBP)
    • Distinguish how EBP is different from research
    • Explain the contribution of EBP to professional nursing
    • Identify your MSN Program Specialty Track and practice focus (Executive leadership)
    • Explain how EBP promotes change within your future practice setting
  2. Identification of the Nursing Concern to be Improved: This section provides a comprehensive discussion of the selected nursing concern. It should contain the following elements:
    • Explain the selected nursing concern in detail (Reducing Burnout in ICU nurses)
    • Identify how frequently the selected concern occurs within your specialty track setting
    • Identify the stakeholders impacted by the concern
    • Identify the consequences of the selected concern
    • Identify your proposed solution to the selected concern
    • Identify a purpose statement for this EBP proposal
  3. PICOT/PICo question and Literature Search Process: This section identifies the PICOT/PICo question that will used for this EBP proposal. The literature search parameters will also be identified. It should contain the following elements:
    • Identify the question in correct format with all required elements
    o PICOT for quantitative research approach
    o PICo for qualitative research approach
    PICOT question that reflects my area of interest for the evidence-based practice proposal is:
    P-The population of interest for this EBP project was registered nurses who worked as staff nurses in an Intensive Care Unit.
    I-The intervention of interest is increased management/ administration awareness of nursing workload and the implementation of a nursing workload tool as a guide for proper placement of patients according to nursing workload scores work to decrease burnout.
    C-The comparison of interest was burnout scores before intervention or the baseline burnout scores before the implementation of the nursing workload tool.
    O-The outcome of interest was the reduction of nursing burnout scores.
    T-The timeframe for this EBP project was a three-month period from summer 2019 to fall 2019.
    • Identify how the expected outcome will be useful to your future practice setting
    • Discuss the purpose of conducting a literature review and the contribution it will provide to this EBP proposal
