The article must be from 2010 or later and should include considerations about regional and national health policy. What are the findings of the article? All answers are true. Topic 6 DQ1 Review the evidence-based practice project ideas you described in Topic 5 DQ 1. Based on your initial ideas, what types of scholarly nursing research (such as quantitative or qualitative research, peer-reviewed resources, etc.) would be required to further investigate the issue? Identify the criteria you would use to evaluate the appropriateness of the research. Why is it important to select research that meets these criteria? Nurses incorporate evidence-based practice into the delivery of patient care. The process involves collecting, assessing and applying research findings. Research gathered through EBP improves clinical decision-making, work environments and patient outcomes. To provide exceptional patient care in an ever evolving and complex healthcare system, nurses need to continue discovering innovative ways to practice nursing. Nurses are a valuable asset and the key to advancing patient care. Through communication and collaboration with patients, peers and researchers, nurses can reduce risk by staying informed about the latest and most successful options for positive patient outcomes. Nurses utilize quantitative or qualitative research in order to evaluate the best interventions for patients. They also may gather information by performing quantitative or qualitative research. The data nurses collect helps them determine how to proceed with patient care. The objective of implementing an evidence-based practice in healthcare is to ensure that it brings the required change in the targeted organization (Löfmark, Hannersjö & Wikblad, 1999). In healthcare, introduction of evidence-based solutions aims at improving the quality of care offered to patients and enhancing the treatment outcomes. Moreover, minimizing the cost of healthcare is also becoming an important consideration in the implementation of evidence-based practice in healthcare setting. In my hospital the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting, it is challenging providing patients with regular sleep/wake cycles. The ICU environment is filled with sound, lights and activity. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggested the noise levels in every hospital units should not over 30 dBA at night. Above 30 dBA is called sleep disturbance. In reality, noise levels inside hospitals are always higher than the WHO guideline values. The noise level in ICU is usually ranges from 50 to 75 dBA. The worst situation can be reached 103 dBA in the highest night peak level. Numerous research-based studies identify sleep as a significant component in the healing process and delirium prevention. A quiet environment helps patients heal faster and better. Sleep disturbance is one of a factors in the development of delirium, as well as producing specific effects on the respiratory, cardiovascular and immunological systems. It can elevate levels of cortisol and other stress hormones. It also can impair wound healing and cellular immunity. Not enough sleeping is worsened cognitive functioning, including delirium, cognitive slowing and deterioration, and decreased motivation to task. One method that would facilitate in determination of the effectiveness of the evidence- based practice is summative evaluation. Summative evaluations are intended to provide a package of results used to assess whether a program works or not. Summative evaluation measures the value of Health Information Exchange with respect to clinical decision-making, health care delivery, as well as patient and population outcomes. It is essentially a systematic mechanism that enables collection and analysis of data on the effects/impacts of an intervention, output, and outcomes during implementation. This method would therefore help in measuring and determining the success, efficacy and cost implications of my evidenced based projects in the healthcare organization.

You notice that some of the research has not been cited correctly or even at all. When you approach your classmate, the response is that "no one will notice and it is not a big deal anyway." What are your next steps in speaking with your classmate? Consider how this could reflect on the credibility and integrity of the individuals involved, the University, and the profession. I will directly tell my classmates about citing the works of other is very important. Firstly, citing other people's words and ideas demonstrates that you have conducted a thorough review of the literature on your topic and, therefore, you are reporting your research from an informed and critically engaged perspective. The list of sources used increases your credibility as the author of the work. In addition, another researcher's arguments can act as the primary context from which you can emphasize the significance of your study and to provide supporting evidence about how you addressed. In academe and the professional world, failure to cite other people's intellectual property ruins careers and reputations and can result in legal action. Citing sources as a student in college will help you get in the habit of acknowledging and properly citing the work of others. Moreover, if it is someone else's particularly succinct expression, but it fits perfectly with what you are trying to say, then you can quote it directly, referencing the source. Do not see this as a setback or become discouraged if you discover that your brilliant idea or important insight has already been identified by someone else. Identifying an author who has made the same point as you can be an opportunity to add legitimacy to, as well as reinforce the significance of, the research problem you are investigating. Furthermore, the ideas of other researchers can bolster your arguments, they can also detract from your credibility if their research is challenged. Properly citing sources prevents your reputation from being tarnished if the facts or ideas of those cited are proven to be inaccurate or off-base. It prevents readers from concluding that you ignored or dismissed the findings of others, even if they are disputed. Reference Harvard University. Harvard Guide to Using Sources. Retrieved from https://usingsources.fas.harvard.edu/home The University of North Carolina. Citing Information: Home. Retrieved from https://guides.lib.unc.edu/citing-information Cite your source When alluding to an idea or wording that’s not your own, add a citation in your writing that identifies the full name of the source, the date it was published, and any other citation element that’s required by the style guide you’re adhering to. Include quotations If you insert a source’s words into your writing, verbatim, one of the most simple yet obvious ways to avoid plagiarism is by using quotation marks around the text to denote that the words aren’t your own. A direct quote should also cite the source so that readers know who the quote is from. Paraphrase Paraphrasing is rewriting a source’s ideas or information into your own words, without changing its meaning. But be careful—paraphrasing can slip into plagiarism if done incorrectly. Successfully paraphrasing without plagiarizing involves a bit of a dance. Reword and format your writing in an original way, and try to avoid using too many similar words or phrases from the source. The key is to do so without altering the meaning of the idea itself. Remember, you’re still using another’s idea so you’ll need to include a citation to the source. Present your own idea Instead of parroting the source’s ideas or words, explore what you have to say about it. Ask yourself what unique perspective or point you can contribute in your writing that’s entirely your own. Keep in mind that if you’re alluding to a source’s ideas or words to frame your own point, you’ll still need to apply the guidelines above to avoid plagiarizing. If you’re writing on the same topic for multiple assignments, it can be tempting to recycle some of your previous words—this is called “self-plagiarism”. The risk involved with self-plagiarism is just as high if the publisher or your instructor didn’t give you permission to reuse your old work. Use a plagiarism checker Using online plagiarism checking tool, it can help you catch and plagiarizing issues before submitting your work. The best way to avoid plagiarism. When you write an essay, you should use your own word and dd a citation in your writing that identifies the full name of the source, the date it was published. While conducting your research on a topic, some phrases or sentences might stick with you so well that you inadvertently include them in your writing without a citation. When in doubt, using an online plagiarism checking tool can help you catch these issues before submitting your work. Citations serve three major roles in scholarly work. Firstly, they allow you to show how your argument is built upon the ideas of others. Secondly, they allow you to indicate which ideas are taken from others, and from whom those ideas were taken; in other words, to give credit where it's due. Finally, they allow the interested reader to follow your argument and confirm its logic by investigating the ideas on which the argument is built, or to further explore those ideas on their own. Identify two university Library scholarly databases that will help you find the best research articles Discussion 1 Identify two university Library scholarly databases that will help you find the best research articles to support your EBP proposal. Discuss why these two databases are better than Google Scholar or a general Internet search. Discussion 2 The Institute of Medicine has stated a goal that 90% of practice be evidence-based by 2020. According to HealthyPeople.gov, the United States is currently at approximately 15%. Discuss two barriers that might hold nursing practice from achieving this goal, and suggest ways in which identified barriers may be addressed Peer DQ1 When writing papers or doing research it’s essential to find reliable sources to obtain the information from, this will decrease the chances that the information is inaccurate. GCU library provides students with plenty of online scholarly databases to aid in this research process. Two databases I have used in the past are CINAHL Complete and PubMed. These two databases have health journals, books, continuing education modules, EBP care sheets, and so much more! What’s great about using these databases is the information is peer-reviewed and is backed up by actual research to ensure it’s accurate. Using GCU’s library databases are a great tool to find reliable information, rather than just using Google. When using Google you truly never know what you are going to get or if the information on the website you found is accurate. It may look like a reliable website, but really anyone can make a website and put information into it. When we write papers or discussion boards, fellow classmates may use our information as a learning tool, so it’s important we are finding accurate information to share. Another advantage of using GCU’s databases are the searches are organized and you can type in keywords, peer- review options, publication years, etc. This helps pin point articles you are looking for so you don’t waste time looking through thousands of articles that does not pertain to what you are looking for. Reference: http://libguides.gcu.edu/c.php?g=330084&p=2846444#… Peer DQ2 The two GCU library databases that I feel will help me to find the best research articles to support my EBP proposal are Cochrane Library and Medline Plus. The general internet search is unreliable because anyone can post anything they want and may not produce reliable results. It is imperative to have reliable and trustworthy research articles to support the EBP project. Most library databases have scholarly/peer-reviewed articles and contain only scholarly literature. GCU library databases guarantee authority and trustworthiness. The library databases have advanced search features that can be limiting by publication type, data, language, document format, scholarly/peer-reviewed status, as well as, focus by subject which means more relevant information and less time wasted dealing with junk information. Using general internet search or Google Scholar can produce limited results and there is lack of regulation and duplicated information. It is imperative to evaluate the research articles for validity and reliability. Peer DQ3 A Library database is an electronic (online) catalog or index that contain information about published items (California State University Los Angeles, 2018). When writing EBP proposal, it is important that the writer use the library database as it helps the writer to locate relevant information and also assess the quality of the information located. GCU Library contains many scholarly databases that one can use to find the best research article to support his/her EBP proposal. Of the many database article in GCU library, I have used the CINAHL complete (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health), Cochrane library and PubMed and found them to be very helpful because it leads the researcher/writer to the source of the information (e.g. journal, books, encyclopedias etc.); it provides citation that includes the article author, title and source of information; it also provides the journal name, volume, issue, page, an abstract of the article and full text (the entire article). I found these two-library databases to be better than google scholar or general internet search when writing EBP proposal because the information they contain are more reliable and credible than that found on some website. Library database information are better basically because they are sourced from experts and professionals unlike the general internet search that anyone could upload. The quality of the internet resources is unmonitored and the authenticity of the information may not be known. California State University Los Angeles. (2018). What is a Database? Retrieved from https://www.web.calstatela.edu Peer DQ4 Google definitely provides a wealth of information, this sometimes isn’t worth spending the time sifting through the data. It doesn’t offer all the information that students are looking for and information found there may not be very reliable. The two main databases in GCU library that I believe will help me find the best research articles to support my EBP proposal are as follows: ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source – if offers a wide range of materials in nursing, allied health, alternative and complementary medicine and the likes. It has over 860 titles in full text and over 12,000 full text dissertations indicative of arduous nursing scholarships. Additionally, gives access to online reference books, training tools and evidence-based nursing material from The Joana Briggs Institute. It’s a good source for training videos and cultural reports that helps with crating a better understanding about patient care. CINAHL Complete – is one of the strongest database for nursing. It offers research tools and access to nursing and allied journals. It is comprised of more than 1300 journal titles and covers over fifty specialties in nursing. In addition, it offers continuing education modules, research instruments and evidence-based care sheets GCU library has many databases that allows access to thousands of full text journals and articles. And these scholarly resources are best to use in research as it provides solid and reliable information. Reference Grand Canyon University (2017). Nursing Health Sciences Resources. Retrieved from http://libguides.gcu.edu/ld.php?content_id=1340609… Peer DQ5 Grand Canyon University’s (GCU) library serves as the foundation of academic support for all learning and research pursuits of GCU students, faculty and staff. Two GCU Library databases that will be helpful in finding best research articles to support EBP proposal will be CINAHL Complete and PubMed. CINAHL Complete is the definitive research tool for nursing and allied health professionals with access to the top nursing and allied health journals. Includes full text for more than 1,300 journal titles with indexing for more than 5,000 journal titles. Covers more than 50 nursing specialties, speech language pathology, and nutrition.

PubMed comprises more than 20 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites (GCU, 2017). Reference, Grand Canyon University. (2017). Journal Databases – Nursing & Health Sciences. Retrieved from http://library.gcu.edu/Database/Subject?subject=Nu… Peer DQ6 The two databases I have found useful for research and info are the Joanna Briggs Institute EBP and the Nursing and allied Health database. These articles are found on an educational institute library which provides evidence based articles and as well as peer review items. While anyone may edit a google site the ones on the school library database have research and evidence to back there articles. The Joanna Briggs Institute is an evidence-based practice database that includes more than 3,000 records across seven publication types. These types include Evidence Summaries, Evidence-Based Recommended Practices, Best Practice Information Sheets, Systematic Reviews, Consumer Information Sheets, Systematic Review Protocols, & Technical Reports. The Nursing and Allied HEalth Database provides students, instructors, researchers, and nurses around the world with its diverse mix of scholarly literature, clinical training videos, reference materials, and evidence-based resources, including dissertations and systematic reviews. Reference: Grand Canyon University (2017) Journal Database: Nursing and Health Sciences. http://library.gcu.edu/Database/Subject?subject=Nu… I would be interested in doing EBP on urinary tract infections. According to National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common type of healthcare associated infection. It is about 75% of UTI are related with a urinary catheters. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is 15-25% of hospitalized patients will use urinary catheters when they stay in hospital. The guideline and indications for catherization is written; however, the inappropriate using of catheters are range from 21% to 50%. Many studies reported using the urinary catheter is the main reason for developing a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). References Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (October 16, 2015). Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). Retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/hai/ca_uti/uti.html. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (November 5, 2015). Guideline for prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/guidelines/cauti/background.html Nurses must learn from their patients. The most important thing is to become very familiar with the populations you serve, and though you might not know every single thing about every cultural group, it’s imperative to know about the ones you care for on a daily basis.
