CLC Assignment: Evidence-Based
Practice (EBP) Project Student Guide

The final course of your program
will require you to develop and implement an evidence-based practice(EBP)
guideline. This is your opportunity to learn the process and perhaps even
identify an area of interest. Your choice of a topic for the capstone course
should be related to your area of specialty.

Each course you take will provide
you with the opportunity to investigate theory and empirical literature to
identify the relevant evidence you will need to complete this project. In
NUR-504, students engage in an EBP group project throughout the course.

Group work has benefits and
liabilities. Everyone assigned to a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) is
expected to participate equally in the work in terms of time and quality of
effort. The assignment should be apportioned to make the best use of the
strengths of individual team members.

Honest communication is critical to
effective group work. The best way to avoid conflict is to set very clear
expectations at the outset.If a group member does not do what is expected
(previously agreed to), the group member should be referred to the original
agreement for clarification, rather than engaging in a confrontationthat may
become personal.

At the end of the project, students
will have an opportunity to evaluate each other. These peer evaluations will be
taken into consideration when grading individuals within the group. Course
faculty are able to observe the process in the CLC Forum. If your work takes
place outside the forum, this information will not be available. Be certain,
even if you communicate via e-mail, phone, or face-to-face, to record the
communication in the CLC Forum.

EBP Project Outline

The outline below includes the key
deliverables for the CLC group project. Individual assignments and discussion
requirements are provided on the course syllabus. If you have questions after
reviewing the course materials, please contact your instructor for clarity.

Topic 1:

No CLC project assignments are due
in Topic 1.

Check into your CLC group.Describe
your prior experience with evidence-based practice (EBP) includingparticipation
in developing EBP guidelines or protocols for changing practice.

Prepare for your upcoming Topic 2
assignment, the Collaborative Learning Community (CLC): EBP Agreement, by
reviewingthe “CLC Agreement.”In the CLC Forum, discuss and provide
responses for each component of the “CLC Agreement.”

Group members should provide
contact information and determine tasks in the Project Management Specifics
section for which they will be responsible.

Complete the “CLC
Agreement,”except for the CLC Group Review Process section, which will be
completed at the end of the project.

Choose one member to input the
CLC’s responses for all sections of the form. Submit the completed CLC
Agreement to the instructor at the end of Topic 2.

Topic 2:

The Collaborative Learning
Community (CLC): EBP Agreementis due in Topic 2.

Prepare for your upcoming Topic 4
assignment, Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Identification of Clinical Question,
by brainstorming andinitiating conversation regarding potential topics of
interest. Remember to record all communication in the CLC Forum.

The project should focus on a
nursing-related problem related to nursing practice, advance practice, leadership,
or education.Identify several topics of interest and have individual group
members do a quick survey of the literature to be sure that there is sufficient
evidence available.

In order to develop a
guideline/protocol, you will need credible resources. The course readings
include all of the information needed to complete this project. Chapters 1 and
2 of theNursing Research: Generating and Assessing Evidence for Nursing
Practice textbook provide the necessary information regarding EBP and how to
find evidence. In Nursing Research:
Generating and Assessing Evidence for Nursing Practice, the section “Resources
for Evidence-Based Practice”in Chapter 2 will be very valuable. Chapter 5
provides strategies for locating and assessing credible information. The sooner
you read these chapters with the project in mind, the easier it will be to
complete the project.

Topic 3:

No CLC project assignments are due
in Topic 3.

Continue to prepare for your
upcoming Topic 4 assignment, Collaborative Learning Community: EBP
Identification of Clinical Question. Remember to record all communication in
the CLC Forum.

Refer to Figure 2.2 in theNursing
Research: Generating and Assessing Evidence for Nursing Practice textbook for
the EBP process model you will use to complete this project. Please note that
you will not complete the entire process in this model. You will reach the step
that begins“Pilot the change in practice.”

As a group, finalize your choice of
topic. Make sure to review the literature regarding clinical problems presented
in the previous topic in order to ensure that there is adequate evidence for
your choice.

State your topic in the form of a
foreground question and a problem statement. Chapter 4 in the Nursing Research:
Generating and Assessing Evidence for Nursing Practicetextbook will serve as an
appropriate resource for framing the foreground question and problem statement.

Choose one group member to submit
the completed assignment and the initial reference list to the instructor by
the end of Topic4.

Topic 4:

The Collaborative Learning
Community: EBP Identification of Clinical Questionassignment is due.

Prepare for your upcoming Topic 5
assignment, Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Literature Search/Appraisal
of Evidence. Remember to record all communication in the CLC Forum.

Usethe evidence hierarchy pyramid
provided in Figure 2.1 inthe Nursing Research: Generating and Assessing
Evidence for Nursing Practicetextbook as a guide for the levels of evidence in
your reference list.

Locate case studies, relevant
clinical articles written by experts, research articles, evidence-based
guidelines, protocols,and theoriesthat may guide the identification of
appropriate solutions. This can include the articles reviewed in Topic 3. Note:
Not all theories will have research that allows them to have a level assigned
to them. This does not mean they are not good theories. A true proposal would
require a comprehensive review of the literature and inclusion of all relevant
works.

Appraise the evidence using the
guidelines provided in the Nursing Research: Generating and Assessing Evidence
for Nursing Practicetextbook.Use these guidelines to discard references that
are untrustworthy or irrelevant. Box 2.2 canhelp with this decision-making
process. Chapter 5provides guidance on how to synthesize the article findings.

Use the assigned Topic Material,
“CLC EBP Research Table,”to consolidate and present the findings. Limit the
articles to no more than 10 (two per student in the CLC group would be reasonable).
Choose one group member to submit the completed assignment by the end of Topic
5.

Topic 5:

The Collaborative Learning
Community: EBP Literature Search/Appraisal of Evidenceassignment is due.

Topic 6:

No CLC project assignments are due
in Topic 6.

Prepare for your upcoming Topic 7
assignment, Collaborative Learning Community: EBP Develop Clinical Guideline
and Implementation Plan, by initiating development of a guideline or protocol
based on your search of the literature. Remember to record all communication in
the CLC Forum.

Consider how to implement the
intervention to test the protocol. Identify potential barriers and describe
strategies to gain cooperation from individuals who will be implementing the
change.

Refer back to the foreground
question and problem statement you developed and submitted earlier in the
course, as well as the research synthesis. Use these components to develop the
clinical protocol and the implementation plan, including a timeline with
criteria for evaluating the outcomes.

Topic 7:

The Collaborative Learning
Community: EBP Development Guidelines and Implementation Planassignment is due.
