Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change
Nurs-6050N-2. Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT. Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection. Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience. The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project) Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change Create an 8- to 9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following: Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.) Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general. Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision-making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered. Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation. Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy. Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change. Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer-reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking. Add a lessons learned section that includes the following: A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides) Alternate Submission Method You may also use Kaltura Personal Capture to record your narrated PowerPoint. This option will require you to create your PowerPoint slides first. Then, follow the Personal Capture instructions outlined on the Kaltura Media Uploader guidelines to an external site.. This guide will walk you through downloading the tool and help you become familiar with the features of Personal Capture. When you are ready to begin recording, you may turn off the webcam option so that only “Screen” and “Audio” are enabled. Start your recording and then open your PowerPoint to slide show view. Once the recording is complete, follow the instructions found on the “Posting Your Video in the Classroom Guide” found on the Kaltura Media Uploader page for instructions on how to submit your video. For this option, in addition to submitting your video, you must also upload your PowerPoint file which must include your speaker notes.07:59
Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change: Enhancing Healthcare Quality through Attachment-Oriented Nursing Interventions
In this narrated PowerPoint presentation, we will explore an evidence-based practice change proposal aimed at enhancing healthcare quality by implementing attachment-oriented nursing interventions. The selected clinical topic of interest is the Theory of Attachment and its application in nursing care to promote healthy parent-child attachment, which has significant implications for child development. We will critically appraise four peer-reviewed articles related to this topic and then discuss the healthcare organization’s readiness for change, the identified problem, the proposed evidence-based practice change, knowledge transfer plan, dissemination strategy, and measurable outcomes.
I. Healthcare Organization Description:
We will begin by briefly describing our healthcare organization, ensuring anonymity as per organizational policies. Our organization is a large, urban hospital with a diverse patient population. We pride ourselves on a patient-centered culture that prioritizes quality care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuous improvement.
II. Identifying the Problem and Stakeholders:
The problem at hand is the increasing incidence of insecure attachment in newborns and young children, which may result from various factors, such as maternal postpartum depression, parental stress, and limited knowledge of attachment-promoting behaviors. Stakeholders involved include healthcare providers, nursing staff, parents, pediatricians, and allied healthcare professionals.
III. Evidence-Based Practice Change Proposal:
The evidence-based practice change proposal involves incorporating attachment-oriented nursing interventions during the postnatal period to promote healthy parent-child attachment. This approach aligns with the Theory of Attachment’s principles, emphasizing responsive caregiving, sensory stimulation, and emotional support to foster a secure parent-infant bond.
IV. Knowledge Transfer Plan:
To facilitate knowledge transfer, we will create educational resources for nursing staff and parents. These resources will include evidence-based guidelines, videos demonstrating attachment-promoting behaviors, and workshops to enhance parental caregiving skills. Additionally, we will collaborate with pediatricians and community organizations to ensure continuity of attachment-oriented care beyond the hospital setting.
V. Dissemination Strategy and Rationale:
Our primary dissemination strategy will involve hosting interdepartmental workshops, grand rounds, and seminars to present the evidence-based practice change proposal to healthcare providers. We will also leverage digital platforms, such as the hospital website and social media channels, to share educational materials with parents and the public. This strategy ensures a wide reach, enabling effective implementation of the proposed interventions.
VI. Measurable Outcomes:
The measurable outcomes we aim to achieve include an increase in the percentage of secure parent-child attachments, a reduction in maternal postpartum depression rates, and improved developmental outcomes in children. These outcomes will be assessed through standardized attachment assessments and validated tools to measure maternal well-being and child development.
VII. Lessons Learned:
The lessons learned section will include a summary of the critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles related to attachment-oriented nursing interventions. It will also provide insights gained from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template, enabling continuous improvement in future evidence-based practice change projects.
Conclusion:
By implementing evidence-based attachment-oriented nursing interventions, we aspire to enhance healthcare quality and foster healthy parent-child attachment. Through knowledge transfer and a strategic dissemination strategy, we aim to create a positive impact on our organization’s culture, ensuring patient-centered care and better developmental outcomes for children.
