Literature Review
[ The introduction to the paper must be at least 5 sentences with 1 in-text citation, a fully stated purpose statement, and PICOT Question. In this section, introduce the topic to the reader. Indicate why the selected topic is important and why it is important to conduct a literature review as part of the project. Make sure the PICOT question is written as a quality improvement question, not a research question and that it contains all components of “PICOT”. End this section stating, "The purpose of this paper is ... "]
Project Proposal Topic
[ The project proposal section must be at least 1 fully formed paragraph (at least 5 sentences in length) with in-text citations. In this section, present an overview of the topic by discussing the topic in general. Consider providing some background information and describing the gap (current practice versus best practice) in nursing practice that was identified. Consider using statistics here to reinforce the point.]
Methods of Searching
[ This section must be at least 1 fully formed paragraph (at least 5 sentences in length).This section should describe how the literature search was conducted. For example: “A literature review was conducted using both electronic and manual resources…” Describe how the search for literature was conducted by explaining what databases or search engines were used to find the peer-reviewed articles. Describe what keywords were used; what date range was used to obtain the most current information (remember they must be less than 5 years old); what things were excluded (example: blogs, websites with biased information, etc).]
Review of the Literature
[ There must be at least 5 fully formed paragraphs (at least 5 sentences in length) with 5 in-text citations that correlate with the current, peer-reviewed references used. This will be the bulk of the review. Organization of the material here is important. In one paragraph for each of the 5 current, peer-reviewed articles, elaborate on the relation to the project topic/PICOT question, as well as what best practices were identified. Integrate key details of each article, demonstrating a clear understanding of the content reviewed. Consider the main takeaways after reading each article as they relate to the project project/intervention. This section should outline details of each article and also include the learner’s insight as they relate to the project and PICOT. Also include any other pertinent information about the topic that was discussed in the articles chosen.]
Findings
[ This section must be at least 2 fully formed paragraphs (at least 5 sentences in length) with in-text citations. In this section, provide a summary of the most significant findings found in the “Review of the Literature” section. Identify strengths and weaknesses of the literature (for example, small sample sizes that limit the validity of the findings or conclusions that you disagree with as an evaluator); and identify any gaps in the literature found. Begin with “The literature has shown…”]
Conclusion
[ The section should be at least 1 paragraph (at least 5 sentences in length), summarize at least 3 key points, and contain at least 1 in-text citation. Provide a thorough summary with at least 3 key points. Although not required, it is suggested learners restate the PICOT question in this section, so the reader is drawn to refocus on the topic/question.]
References
[There must be at least 5 current (within the last 5 years), peer-reviewed references. Use APA-7 formatting specific to reference type, including (but not limited to) alphabetical order and hanging indent. Specific reference examples have been discussed in the webinars.]

BSN355 Capstone Project Proposal Plan
|
What is the project question (PICOT)? In other words what are you ultimately trying to figure out? Address in P-I-C-O-T format first; then a narrative description.
|
In elderly residents (P) living at Lake Village Facility, will implementing a nurse-led urinary tract infection prevention program (I), compared to current practice (C), result in a decrease in urinary tract infection rate by 10% (O) within 6 months (T). |
|
What is the title of your project? Be specific and concise.
|
Reducing Urinary Tract Infections in Long-Term Care Homes Through Nurse-Led Prevention Strategies. |
|
Who will benefit from your project?
|
The primary beneficiaries of this project are elderly residents living at a long-term care home at Lake Village Facility, who are at risk for urinary tract infections (UTIs). |
|
Where are the people located that will benefit from your project? |
The individuals who will benefit from this project are located at the Lake Village Facility. |
|
How long will your project take (from beginning to end)? |
The project is expected to take approximately 6 months from start to finish. |
|
Budget requirements of your project (how much money will it take to implement your project)? Please note that this is a proposal; you will not fund this project. |
This project would require minimal funding because it mainly focuses on education and prevention strategies. Estimated costs may include: · Educational posters and handouts: $150 · Staff training materials: $200 · Infection tracking tools and supplies: $100 Miscellaneous supplies: $50 The estimated total budget is approximately $500. Since this is only a proposal project, actual funding will not be required.
|
|
Why did you decide to do this project?
|
I decided to focus on this project because urinary tract infections are one of the most common preventable infections among elderly residents in long-term care facilities. UTIs can lead to pain, confusion, hospitalization, and decreased quality of life. Through my healthcare experience, I have seen the importance of preventive care and proper nursing interventions in protecting vulnerable patients and improving outcomes. |
|
What is the overall goal of this project? What do you hope to achieve by doing this project?
|
The overall goal of this project is to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections among residents in long-term care homes through nurse-led prevention strategies. The project hopes to improve resident health, reduce hospital admissions, promote proper hygiene and hydration practices, thereby increasing staff awareness of infection prevention measures. |
|
What do you need to help you complete this project? Examples may include supplies, Facility/Administration support, volunteers, etc.
|
To complete this project, I will need resources and support, including support and approval from facility administration for various resources. Participation from nurses and nursing assistants will be vital in implementing education. Educational materials and prevention guidelines will help facilitate information sharing. Access to infection rate data will help with setting realistic goals. Hydration and hygiene supplies from the Administration, along with cooperation from residents and caregivers, will make the project a success.
|
|
Will your project have long-term effects? If so, what are they? If none. Why not?
|
Yes, this project may have long-term effects. Improved infection prevention practices can continue reducing UTI rates, decreasing hospitalizations, improving resident comfort and safety, and strengthening nursing practices within long-term care facilities. |
|
Will the project be sustainable? If so, how will you sustain the project?
|
Yes, the project has the potential to be sustainable because prevention strategies such as hydration reminders, hygiene education, and catheter care can become part of routine nursing care. Staff education programs and infection monitoring systems can continue after the project is completed. |
|
How will your project be evaluated?
|
The project will be evaluated by comparing urinary tract infection rates before and after implementation of the prevention program.
|
|
Are there any risks associated with the project?
|
The risks associated with this project are minimal. Staff members may resist changes in routine practices, and some residents may have difficulty following hydration or hygiene recommendations. |
|
Is there anything that may prevent your project from succeeding? If so, what?
|
Potential barriers to success may include lack of administrative support, limited staff participation and inconsistent adherence to prevention protocols. |
In addition, your week 8 graded assignment will require a background analysis. When describing this analysis, include the following points:
· Describe the problem or gap in nursing practice that prompted the project.
· Explain the current situation and why improvement is needed (situation analysis).
· Consider using statistics here to reinforce your point.
· Explain what you hope to achieve by addressing this issue.
· Include the population that will be affected and the location. The location may vary depending on your project, but could include locations such as nursing homes, acute care units, dialysis units, school, or other non-clinical location.
