Projected DNP Project

I am attaching the RUBRIC. Overview The DNP scholarly project represents the synthesis of and proficiency in an advanced specialty in nursing practice. The completion of this project is a requirement for graduation. In this project, emphasis is placed on the implementation of clinical innovation, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, or policy analysis that will improve patient care. A scholarly project is not intended to develop a new theory but rather demonstrate the translation of research into practice. All DNP projects should: 1. Focus on a change that impacts healthcare outcomes either through direct or indirect care. 2. Have a systems (micro-, meso-, or macro-level) or population/aggregate focus. 3. Demonstrate implementation in the appropriate arena or area of practice. 4. Include a plan for sustainability (e.g., financial, systems or political realities, not only theoretical abstractions). 5. Include an evaluation of processes and/or outcomes (formative or summative). DNP projects should be designed so that processes and/or outcomes will be evaluated to guide practice and policy. Clinical significance is as important in guiding practice as statistical significance is in evaluating research. 6. Provide a foundation for future practice scholarship. To be successful in the DNP program, you must first become familiar with the project process. You will look at your practice and consider a clinical problem of interest for your DNP scholarly project. All DNP projects are based on evidence provided in the literature. After you have discerned an idea or area of interest, it is imperative to do a literature search to discover whether clear and enough evidence exists on your topic. Week 1 is the best time to make these assessments, you would not want to invest time and energy into a project that is not undergirded by current literature. Before Selecting a Question • Use nursing or medical research literature published within the last five to seven years. Occasionally, older research articles are acceptable for seminal work on a topic. • Consider your level of knowledge on research design, method, and evaluation. • Obtain approval from your chair. Directions Create a clinical question that is researchable and grammatically correct, written in your own words. Do a library search on your problem of interest and evidence-based intervention. Find and read at least four primary research articles that deal specifically with your problem of interest. Save these articles as Adobe PDFs. The clearer your clinical question, the easier it is to find the best pertinent articles and to write a good review of literature. • Write a two-page paper with a brief introduction and/or background introducing your clinical question. (Your reference and title pages are not counted). • Write in a narrative format with headings and paragraphs, and without bullets. • Cite three to four primary research articles. • End with a paragraph of your own thoughts about how your problem of interest is linked to nursing practice and patient outcomes. • Include references and citations, as appropriate, in APA format. What to Submit 1. Your two-page paper in Microsoft Word 2. Each article in Adobe PDF (do not submit links): PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE ARTICLES
