Purpose

The purpose of this activity is to deepen learning through reflective inquiry. It will allow for expansion in self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals.

Course outcomes: This assessment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:

· Investigate practice problems relevant to advanced nursing practice. (PO 1,3, 4, 5, 6, 9)

· Appraise practice problems at the micro, meso, and macrosystems levels. (PO 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9)

· Examine the role of stakeholders in change and translation science. (PO 1, 4, 6)

· Utilize ethical considerations and theories relevant to translation science. (PO 3, 4, 5)

· Compare and contrast differences and similarities in change models, conceptual frameworks, and translation models. (PO 3, 5, 6, 9)

· Explore the structure and function of the interprofessional team in the translation of evidence. (PO 4, 6, 8, 9)

· Assess challenges and barriers related to evidence translation. (PO 3, 5, 9)

Due date: Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 7. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.

Total points possible: 100 points

Preparing the assessment

Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions. It is each student's responsibility to save and maintain all artifacts required in the  e-Portfolio. (Links to an external site.)

 

1) Write a brief 1-2 paragraph weekly reflection addressing the questions posed in the Reflect section of each weekly module. Edit your Reflection to include each weekly reflection.

2) Include the following sections in your Reflection.

Week 1

Week 1: National Practice Problem Exploration

Evidence translation begins with the identification of a problem or concern. Reflect upon the eight national practice problems presented in the Global Burden of Disease Research. Select one of the practice problems to address the following.

· From a global/nationwide perspective, how does the selected practice problem Cancer impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided?

· Identify the national level key stakeholders who are affected by the practice problem and stakeholders involved in resolution. Cancer Global Problem

· Are clinical practice guidelines used to address this problem? Why or why not? If used, provide a brief overview of the CPG. If a CPG is not used, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a national scale to address the problem. Cancer Global Problem

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives .

· What did you learn from this week to challenge your beliefs or attitudes?

· How will this knowledge improve your effectiveness as a practice scholar?

Week 2

Week 2: Local Practice Problem Exploration

Reflect upon the selected national practice problem ( Cancer as a global problem) in Week 1 to address the following.

· From a local perspective, how does the practice problem impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided?

· Identify the local key stakeholders related to the selected practice problem.

· Describe one approach used at your unique setting to address this problem. From your perspective, is this intervention effective in addressing the problem? Why or why not? If this practice problem is not addressed at your workplace, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a local scale to address the problem.

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· Why is the information important?

· In what ways will you use this learning?

Week 3

Week 3: Ethical Considerations 

Translation of a research-based intervention to practice involves a critical review of numerous published research studies to discern if individuals - research subjects - were treated according to the ethical values and principles as defined by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Reflect upon your selected practice problem and the eventual research-based intervention you select for your practice change project and address the following.

· What are the potential benefits and harms related to your selected practice problem ( NURSING shortage and how this affect cancer patients) when considering a research-based intervention for your practice change project?

· Are there competing personal or professional values related to this research-based intervention that might impact the implementation of this intervention in your practice setting?

· What types of objections might be raised? How will you explain your decision to key stakeholders to address these objections?

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· What is the benefit of the learning?

· What values can you reaffirm or want to reconsider after this learning?

Week 4

Week 4: Change Models

Select one of the organizational or behavioral change models which were used successfully for evidence-based practice change in healthcare for many years. Select one model or theory from the readings or lesson this week and: • List the steps or the components in the change model or theory. • Does the model or theory contain a component for appraising the evidence? • Does the model or theory contain a component for networking with the stakeholders during all phases of practice change? • Does the model contain components for identifying barriers and addressing barriers to implementation?

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· Which change model or conceptual framework did you find most valuable and why?

· In what ways, if any, do your practices inhibit reform?

Week 5

Week 5: Translation Models 

Reflect upon your selected practice problem ( Nursing shortage in cancer units and how this affect patient outcomes negatively) to determine a possible solution and address the following.

· Create an action plan using a translation theory or model to implement the proposed solution. 

· Provide a description of each component in the translation model.

· What are the barriers to implementation? What are the facilitators to overcome these barriers?

· Who are the stakeholders involved? What are their roles?

· What resources are needed for successful implementation of the solution?

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· Which translation model did you find most valuable and why?

· How receptive are you to embracing change and reform?

Week 6

Week 6: Interprofessional Collaboration

As a practice scholar, you are called to respond to a recurring medication administration error at your workplace setting and identify strategies to prevent future recurrence through interprofessional collaborative practice. Your first step is to assemble the interprofessional team. Consider the following.

· Who is on your team? What are the roles, responsibilities, and abilities of the team members?

· How will you work together? How will you determine accountability and task distribution? Identify ways to distribute and follow up on tasks among interprofessional team members.

· What strategies will you use to facilitate effective communication and collaboration?

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· What approach do you use in working with others throughout the change process?

· What is your response to change? Is it inclusive of other team members? Why or why not?

Week 7

Week 7: Evidence Translation and Change

Reflect upon the selected practice problem in Weeks 1 and 2 and consider the following.

· What are the common barriers to evidence translation in addressing this problem?

· What strategies might you adopt to be aware of new evidence?

· How will you determine which evidence to implement?

· How will you ensure continuation or sustainability of the change?

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· What goals will you set in accordance with what you have learned

· How has course information changed your ways of knowing?

Writing Organization and Mechanics

· Grammar and mechanics are free of errors.
