EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 7 Assignment
Investigation of a Clinical Problem (Option A)
Turnitin®
This course has Turnitin® fully integrated into the course dropbox. This means that you should only submit your assignments to the dropbox below. Please do not submit your assignment directly to Turnitin.com.
Once submitted, your assignment will be evaluated by Turnitin® automatically. You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student papers. Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately. The overall match can be no higher than 15%, with any one match no higher than 2%. You may resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the assignment.
EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 7
However, once you have made your first submission, you will need to wait 24 hours after each subsequent submission to receive a new Originality Report. Plan accordingly as you draft your assignment. Once the due date has passed, your assignment submission will be considered final.
In this assignment, you will identify a nursing problem, investigate available evidence, and either present a plan for practice change or a proposal for further research. You will use the Stetler Model as a guide. This paper has two parts, with Part 2 outlined below. The Stetler Model is explained on pp. 279- 283 of your textbook. You may use material from your discussion posts in this paper, however, you will need to revise them as necessary to meet the objectives of this assignment.
This activity will address the following module outcome:EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 7 Assignment
MO3: Using the Stetler model, analyze evidence to present a practice change or a research proposal (EPSLO 7; SLO 4)
Part II: Translation/ Generation of Evidence to Practice: Due Week 13
Describe how data will be collected.

Module 7 Discussion
DQ1 Disseminating the Evidence
Research team discussing study with patient. (Life in View/Science Photo Library, n.d.)Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.
– Louis L’Amour, 1908 – 1988, American author (QuoteSpeak, n.d.)
Think about where you might disseminate the results of your project. You have put a lot of work into this project; how can it be used to improve patient care in your practice setting, and how you could eventually disseminate the results on a larger scale?
This activity will address the following module outcome:
MO1: Examine dissemination opportunities for research and EBP results (EPSLO 6; SLO 3)
Based on your learning activities, respond to the following prompts. Be sure to support your answers with references when needed.
Describe a venue in your immediate practice environment you could use to disseminate the results of your project (poster presentation at conference, media submission, grand rounds, etc.). Analyze the benefit of your findings for the everyday practice of the inter-professional team.
Identify one professional peer-reviewed journal that might be interested in publishing your results. Access the requirements for authors and view the manuscript submission guidelines of the journal. Describe the steps you would take to submit your paper as a manuscript to this journal. What do you see as the biggest challenge? Evaluate the impact your project may have on the body of knowledge in the discipline.
DQ2 Grant Writing
Two nurses reviewing information at a computer monitor. (JGI/Blend/Learning Pictures/Universal Images Group, n.d.)“The two most beautiful words in the English language are ‘cheque enclosed.’”
? Dorothy Parker-American writer (Quote Investigator, n.d.)
This activity will address the following module outcome:
MO2: Describe sources of grant funding (EPSLO 6; SLO 3)
Think about how you might fund a research or EBP project on your topic. If you had a grant, how would it enhance possibilities for the generation of new knowledge, or translation of evidence into practice?
Based on your learning activities, respond to the following prompts. Be sure to support your answers with references when needed.
Review the funding sources listed on pp. 657 and 675-679 of your text. Consider the funding opportunities from Sigma Theta Tau (Links to an external site.), as well. Explore one of the sites that would be most applicable to your project and/or future research interests. Describe the sources of funding you found on the site.
Consider the “Major Pitfalls of Grant Proposals” listed in Box 22.5- 5 on p. 673 of your text and the YouTube video, It’s not about the post hole digger (Links to an external site.), in the Learning & Assessment Activities.
Would any of the “pitfalls” apply to your project? What are the strengths of your project that may increase the chances of getting grant funding? How would you search for possible sources of funding?
