NR 505 Week 5 Research Literature Design Sampling and Implementation
To successfully complete the Week 5 assignment in the NR505 Advanced Research Methods: Evidence-Based Practice course, students will continue developing their MSN Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) scholarly project. This assignment builds on the work done in Week 2, where students identified a nursing concern and developed a PICOT or PICo question. The focus of this assignment is on discussing the research-based literature that supports the selected nursing concern, identifying an appropriate research design, explaining the sampling method, and discussing the implementation process using a change model.
Assignment Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to:
- Provide comprehensive research literature support for the identified nursing concern and the associated PICOT/PICo question.
- Identify and justify the research approach and design appropriate for the EBP project.
- Explain the sampling method that will be used for the project.
- Discuss how the implementation of the project will be guided by a change model.
Requirements and Criteria:
1. Research Literature Support:
- PICOT/PICo Question Restatement: Before presenting the research literature, the student must restate the PICOT/PICo question that was developed in Week 2.
- Research Literature: A minimum of 10 research-based references related to the PICOT/PICo question must be provided. The research studies selected should be consistent with the identified nursing concern. Systematic reviews cannot be used as references; all studies must be original research articles.
- Details for Each Reference: For each research study cited, the following information must be discussed:
- Purpose: What was the purpose of the research study?
- Research Approach: What research approach (qualitative or quantitative) was used in the study?
- Data Collection Methods: How was data collected in the study?
- Results: What were the key findings of the study?
- Strength: Identify one strength of the research study.
- Limitation: Identify one limitation of the research study.
2. Research Approach and Design:
- Selection of Approach: The student must identify whether the EBP project will use a quantitative or qualitative research approach.
- Design Justification: The choice of design should be justified based on the nature of the PICOT/PICo question and the type of data needed to answer it.
3. Sampling Method:
- Description of Sampling Method: The student must describe the sampling method that will be used for the EBP project.
- Rationale for Sampling Method: Explain why this sampling method is appropriate for the project and how it aligns with the research approach and design.
4. Implementation and Change Model:
- Change Model: The student must discuss how the implementation of the EBP project will be guided by a specific change model.
- Steps of Implementation: Outline the steps that will be taken to implement the project, including how the change model will support each step.
Assignment Submission:
- Due Date: The assignment is due by Sunday at 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week Five.
- Total Points Possible: The assignment is worth 250 points.
Grading and Evaluation:
Students will be evaluated based on their ability to:
- Provide comprehensive and relevant research literature support.
- Clearly identify and justify the chosen research approach and design.
- Appropriately describe and rationalize the sampling method.
- Effectively discuss the implementation process using a change model.
- Adhere to the assignment guidelines and criteria, including the use of at least 10 research-based references.
