NR 505

Purpose: ------------ This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to continue development of a MSN EBP scholarly project that started with the identification of a nursing concern and PICOT/PICo question from Week 2. The focus of this assignment is to discuss the research-based literature support for the selected concern, identify an appropriate research design, explain the sampling method, and discuss implementation through the use of a change model. Requirements ------------------...

With the focus on qualitative design and sampling, this is a great opportunity to compare and contrast quantitative and qualitative research approaches. For each of the following areas, apply information that considers one advantage and one disadvantage regarding • control over study conditions with the quantitative research approach; • control over study conditions with the qualitative research approach; • extending or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population ...

The focus of the Week 3 discussion is on two important elements of quantitative research studies- design and sampling. The approach or design, quantitative or qualitative, also applies to EBP projects. Both quantitative and qualitative have diFerent designs or traditions that fall under these two broad categories. Select a single-study quantitative research study article related to your specialty track and provide the permalink to the article. Then discuss each of the following items. • Iden...

The focus for Week 2 is on questions: PICOT/PICo and practice questions. o Using the area of interest from Week 1, identify the following. o Will you be using a quantitative or qualitative approach for your EBP project proposal? o Explain why this approach is the best one to provide information for your area of interest. o Create a PICOT/PICo question using the PICOT/PICo format for quantitative and PICo for qualitative approaches. o Identify your practice question, being sure to include th...

Purpose ------------ This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to continue work on a previously identified area or phenomenon of interest related to their MSN specialty track. Week Two’s assignment builds upon the identified area of interest by developing an overview of the evidence-based practice (EBP) project and the PCIOT/PICo question. This assignment initiates the evidence-based practice proposal that is continued throughout the entire course with each assignment adding com...

Five Principles For Research Ethics ------------------------------------------------- Cover your bases with these ethical strategies. Not that long ago, academicians were often cautious about airing the ethical dilemmas they faced in their research and academic work, but that environment is changing today. Psychologists in academe are more likely to seek out the advice of their colleagues on issues ranging from supervising graduate students to how to handle sensitive research data, says George M...

For this discussion the focus is on presenting the area of interest for the evidence-based practice proposal that is required for this course. • State your area of research or evidence-based practice (EBP) interest from NR 500; remember that the topic must be consistent with your specialty track. • State your MSN program specialty track and defend how your selected area of research or EBP interest from NR 500 is consistent with your selected MSN program track. • Would you like to change yo...
