Nurses in Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Infections

Prepare this assignment as a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the previous course assignments and the guidelines below.
PICOT Question
Revise the PICOT question you wrote in the Topic 1 assignment using the feedback you received from your instructor.
The final PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Research Critiques
In the Topic 2 and Topic 3 assignments, you completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique on two articles for each type of study (4 articles total). Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of each study by making appropriate revisions.
The completed analysis should connect to your identified practice problem of interest that is the basis for your PICOT question.
Refer to "Research Critiques and PICOT Guidelines - Final Draft." Questions under each heading should be addressed as a narrative in the structure of a formal paper.
Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Change
Discuss the link between the PICOT question, the research articles, and the nursing practice problem you identified. Include relevant details and supporting explanation and use that information to propose evidence-based practice changes.
General Requirement
Finally, due to the word count limit, only add relevant information on your paper. No extension or make up will allowed for the final paper as grades are due to GCU a week after the paper’s due date.
INTRODUCTION - A good paper begins with an introduction. In a paper, an introduction should state your identified nursing issue, why it's important to you, nursing or the patients. In addition, I expect to see the PICOT question, about two or four sentences about the articles how they relate to your PICOT question and the finally, the reason for the paper.
BACKGROUND - Your background is your evidence. What is your background information regarding the issue you identified? Any statistics to support why the issue is a problem? What is the implication or significance to nursing practice? Give an overview of the articles and how they are related to the problem you identified. For the articles used in the critique, state the problem, significance to nursing, purpose, objective, and research questions. This helps the reader know what he or she is going to read about the assignment (what the entire paper is all about). Use credible sources to support your points.
PROPROSED EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE CHANGE - “Discuss the link between the PICOT question, the research articles, and the nursing practice problem you identified. Include relevant details and supporting explanation and use that information to propose evidence-based practice changes.”
WHEN COMPARING ARTICLES, use key words such as argument, evidence, facts, relevant, furthermore, statistics, contrary etc. to make your argument. Use evidence from the articles to support the points you are making.
ARTICLE SUPPORT OF NURSING PRACTICE ISSUE - Discussion to be clear on how the articles support the PICOT question. Compare the interventions and comparison groups and those identified in the PICOT question. Why does the articles support your point? Also explain in a thorough format.
ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES AND OUTCOME COMPARISON – A detailed comparison of research article outcomes to the anticipated outcomes of the PICOT is required. An explanation of how the anticipated outcomes of the PICOT and those of the current research mentioned compare to be presented in detail.** A research outcome describes what researchers want to see happen with the study they are conducting. Through outcome, a researcher monitors the impact of the study.
METHOD OF THE STUDY - The discussion should be thorough for each article’s research method. The comparison of study methods should be discussed in detail. A benefit and a limitation of each method are required. The discussion demonstrates a solid understanding of research methods.
RESULT OF THE STUDY – A thorough discussion of study results includes findings and implications for nursing practice.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATION – A detailed discussion of ethical considerations of the articles of all the articles used in the paper is needed.
CONCLUSION - A conclusion wraps up everything about your paper. It also shows how the evidence you provided proves your point about the significance of your identified nursing problem. A three-sentence paragraph won’t be able to accomplish this.
APA FORMAT - No abstract is required. However, APA format (7th edition) is required. . Plagiarism is not tolerated, and any plagiarized paper will get a grade of zero (0). Please review APA 7th edition and cite all sources accordingly.
