Week 11 discussion
Creating a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice
An abundance of evidence can be
found on almost any medical issue or health topic. Often, the availability of
information is not the concern, but rather nurses struggle with how to convey
the evidence to others and change practices to better reflect the evidence.
Deep-rooted organizational cultures and policies can make some resistant to
change, even to changes that can vastly improve the quality, effectiveness, and
efficiency of health care. However, there are many strategies that nurses can
employ to bring about changes to practice.
In this Discussion, you focus on
how to create an organizational culture that supports evidence-based practice.
To prepare:
Review the information in this
week’s Learning Resources. Examine the various suggestions for promoting an
organizational culture that embraces the use of EBP.
Reflect on your own
organization’s (or one in which you have worked) support of evidence-based
practice. Examine how culture and policies impact the adoption of changes to
practice based on evidence. What barriers exist?
Consider the models and
suggestions for promoting evidence-based practice featured in this week’s
Learning Resources. Identify models and suggestions that would work well in
your organization.
Reflect on the significance of
evidence-based practice in health care. What responsibility do nurses have to
promote EBP and change practices to better reflect evidence and research
findings?
Reflect on how nurses can
disseminate findings from evidence-based practice research.
By Day 3
Post an evaluation of your
organization’s use of EBP and how it is furthered or hindered by organizational
culture and policies. Describe how you could disseminate the findings. Propose
a strategy for strengthening the culture of EBP within the organization.
Discuss a nurse’s responsibility to further the use of EBP, providing a
rationale supported by specific information from the Learning Resources.
Read a selection of your
colleagues’ responses.
By Day 6
Respond to at least two of your
colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:
Ask a probing question,
substantiated with additional background information, and evidence.
Share an insight from having read
your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new
perspectives.
Offer and support an alternative
perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own review of the
literature in the Walden Library.
Validate an idea with your own
experience and additional sources.
Make a suggestion based on
additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple
postings.
Expand on your colleagues’
postings by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives based on
readings and evidence.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

SCORE A+ WITH HELP FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS: ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT

We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.

• Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

• Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

• APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

• Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

• LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

• Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

• Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
