NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview

My research-based project concept is to establish a community education program that emphasizes stroke risk factor prevention. In order to promote responsibility for every new program, it is crucial to collect evidence and assess how it might enhance patient outcomes, health policies, services, and programs (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). Understanding the various research modalities and degrees of evidence is crucial when obtaining proof for any undertaking (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). Quality, quantity, and consistency are three crucial factors that determine the strength of the evidence (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). When choosing research for any issue, it should be high-quality study with reliable findings that are not biased or happen by accident (art). The amount of studies on a given issue, their size and population, and the effectiveness of the treatments can all be used to evaluate quantity (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). When similar findings are discovered in a number of different research, this is known as consistency (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project GCU Assignments and Discussions

Normally, while choosing research for a topic, I would choose subjects that are level one in the hierarchy of evidence.

DQ Review the concepts for the evidence-based practice project you mentioned in Topic 5 DQ 1.

RCT, a systematic review of an RCT, and a metanalysis of an RCT are these (Glasofer &Townsend, 2019). I would probably think about combining quantitative and qualitative research for this topic. Understanding how behavior affects changing health behaviors is crucial when working with prevention strategies, which is why it’s crucial to study both qualitative and quantitative studies.

Topic 1: NUR-550 Literature Review – Resubmission

  • Learners submit their Benchmark – Literature Review from NUR-550 for review.
  • Learners will use the articles/research from this assignment to demonstrate support for the final written paper in Topic 8 detailing the evidence-based practice project proposal.

Literature Review

Medication administration errors have adverse effects on the safety and quality of patient care as well as outcomes. Patients are increasingly susceptible to the effects of medication errors due to complex organizational issues such as high workload and staff shortages. Medication administration errors result in increased cost of care, unintended harm and prolonged hospital stay. The errors can be prevented or reduced by adopting health information technologies such as integrated electronic health records and barcode administration systems. Therefore, this section reviews methods used in the project and the relevant sources of literature. NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project GCU Assignments and Discussions

 

PICOT Statement

The use of health information technology can such as barcode scanning and electronic dispensation, reduce and prevent the prevalence of medication administration errors (MAEs) among critically ill patients. Their use in healthcare should be considered for patient safety.

PICOT Question for the Evidence-Based Practice Project

Among the critically ill patients (P), does the integration of health information technology (I) compared to conventional medication administration process (C), lead to a reduction in medication administration errors (O) within a period of one year (T)? NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project GCU Assignments and Discussions

 

Search Methods of the Literature

Several strategies were employed in order to locate articles that support the EBP project. They included using the institutional library to gain access to journal databases and peer-reviewed articles that had been published. Among the databases used were Embase, CINAHL, and PubMed. Among the search terms were medication administration errors, health information systems for medication administration errors, medication administration error prevention, health information technology integration, and the effectiveness of integrated health information technology in medication administration errors.

Course Description
This course provides an opportunity for learners to complete their evidence-based practice (EBP) project proposal that addresses a problem, issue, or concern in their specialty area of professional practice. Learners previously identified a problem amenable to a research-based intervention, searched the literature, and proposed a solution. Now learners will explore implementation considerations and various evaluation methodologies, complete the project proposal by developing a plan to implement the solution into the intended practice area, and design an evaluation plan that will assess the EBP project proposal’s intended outcome(s). Prerequisite: NUR-550. NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project GCU Assignments and Discussions

Discussions

Will educating nurses to perform continuous compression during defibrillation with no shock pauses for patients in cardiac arrest compared to no education increase the probability of return of spontaneous. The latest guidelines emphasize that chest compressions should be performed with adequate rate and depth, complete recoils, and minimized pauses (Luo et al., 2021). Pauses during resuscitation have can extended pass the recommended guidelines of 5-10 seconds during defibrillation due to Charging defibrillators prior to analyzing heart rhythms may decrease the no-flow time during rhythm check pauses while resuscitating in cardiac arrest (Kemper et al., 2019). Administering high-quality chest compressions has been considered a key determinant for successful resuscitations (Luo et al., 2021). Devices such as the LUCUS device are capable of providing mechanical chest compressions allowing for continuous compressions to be in progress during shock administration. Educating nurses on the importance of continuous uninterrupted compressions may help eliminate  or shorten prolonged pauses during resuscitation efforts. In addition, educating nurses about technologies available to help decrease pauses during resuscitation, ultimately improving patient outcomes by increasing perfusion.

This topic is important to continue research being that the American Heart Association has recently emphasized compressions as the first response action for patients in cardiac arrest. Compressions allow for perfusion, giving the patient the best chance for survival. As an Emergency Department nurse it is virtual, the pauses are kept to a minimum and human error is eliminated to the best of our ability. Human errors such as equipment malfunctions, equipment use, and overall knowledge that defibrillation can occur simultaneously during compressions are all factors that can affect a patient’s outcome.
