Nursing Practice Problem: Nurse Burnout
Learners will select a valid nursing practice problem for an evidence-based practice project proposal. The project will be completed in sections, beginning in NUR-550 and culminating in a final written paper detailing the evidence-based practice proposal in NUR-590.
The purpose of this assignment is to select a relevant nursing practice problem for your evidence-based practice project proposal. To identify a relevant problem, consider problems generally faced in nursing practice (coordination of health care, assessment, education, patient support, trauma prevention, recovery, health screenings, etc.). Use the "PICOT Draft" template to complete this assignment.
Use a national, state or local population health care database to research indicators of disparity. Choose a mortality/morbidity indicator to identify a clinical problem or issue that you want to explore pertaining to a population of focus. Use this indicator to begin to formulate a PICOT statement.
Refer to the "Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview" document for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.
You are required to cite one peer-reviewed source to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content

Part 1: Propose a relevant nursing practice problem for an evidence-based practice project. Explain why you selected this topic and how it is relevant to advance nursing practice. Include one research article that demonstrates support for the nursing practice problem.
Rationale for Selection:
In the intricate tapestry of modern healthcare, one strand that has become alarmingly frayed is the escalating incidence of nurse burnout. This phenomenon, a complex interplay of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, threatens not only the psychological fabric of our dedicated nurses but also casts a long, imposing shadow on patient care quality (Adams et al., 2019). The ramifications are manifold: diminished patient satisfaction, an uptick in medical blunders, and an alarming exodus of experienced nurses from the profession (Duncan, 2020). Delving into this pressing issue is not merely an exercise in empathy—it is a strategic imperative to fortify the bedrock of nursing and bolster the efficacy of healthcare delivery (Buheji & Buhaid, 2020).
Relevance to Advanced Nursing Practice:
Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) emerge as torchbearers in the labyrinthine healthcare landscape, illuminating pathways toward innovation, leadership, and reform. By confronting the specter of nurse burnout head-on, APNs can architect transformative paradigms that recalibrate workplace dynamics (Woo et al., 2022). They stand at the confluence of clinical acumen and visionary leadership, uniquely positioned to champion evidence-based strategies that rejuvenate the weary spirits of nursing staff and revitalize patient care paradigms. In a world brimming with healthcare intricacies, safeguarding the mental sanctuary of nurses is not just pivotal—it is revolutionary (Pirhofer et al., 2022).
