Interventions to Address Nursing Shortage Based on Evidence.

Part A – Six peer-reviewed studies to support two to three potential interventions.

Search for Potential Interventions in nursing staff shortage and management in Texas.

The first step in identifying the one best intervention for your capstone project is to search for evidence from six peer-reviewed studies to support two to three potential interventions. To do this, you must create a systematic search strategy. This type of search strategy requires multiple steps, specific methods, and an organized structure for documenting the results of your search.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

This activity has two parts:

Part 1: Search Strategy – Discuss your analysis findings, share your draft

To prepare for this part, complete the following tasks:

Step 1: Analyze key information and evidence.
Step 2: Draft and/or refine your search-specific PICOT question(s).
Step 3: Develop your search strategy methods, conduct the search, and document your search results.
Discuss your analysis findings, share your draft or refined PICOT question(s) for the search, describe your search strategy methods, and document your search results. Address the following questions or points in your post:

What search terms and areas of literature did you identify from your analysis of the key information and evidence you have gathered thus far?
How did your analysis help to refine your previous PICOT question draft?
Did you develop any additional PICOT question drafts related to potential improvement interventions?
Describe your search strategy. Be sure to include:
Search terms.
Sources of evidence, such as databases used.
Publication date limits used for the search.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria.
A summary of how your search relates to PICOT elements.
Describe your search results. Include:
The total number of publications found.
The number of publications found for each search term.
Details on which publications you chose to keep and not keep, along with the rationale for your decision.
Discussion Part 2: Literature Review – 6 peer-reviewed studies and 3 pages.

Attach a draft of your literature review and critical appraisal of each of the six peer-reviewed studies.

This draft literature review and critical appraisal must be a minimum of 3 pages, not including a title page and references page.

Part B – 4–6 pages least six credible sources of evidence.

Note: DHA no longer uses PICOT. Where this is noted consider the (P) as the problem to be addressed. Where it calls for a “draft literature review” please use and submit relevant and pertinent pieces of Section 2 of the DHA Capstone as the draft.

Assignment: Synthesize the evidence that supports the need for improvement or intervention of this real-work problem in health care (beginning literature review Section 2 of the DHA Capstone Template) 4–6 pages least six credible sources of evidence.

Preparation

You prepared for this assignment by completing part A above, in which you conducted a systematic literature search, wrote a draft literature review, and critically appraised six peer-reviewed studies focused on potential improvement interventions. You will use the information in your literature review and critical appraisals as a basis for your synthesis of the evidence.

In your synthesis of the evidence, you can compare the evidence that supports two to three potential interventions and determine which intervention is the best one for your capstone (nursing staff management) project, according to the following criteria:

Is supported by the best evidence.
Improves the measurable outcome (O) in your PICO(T) question.
Is appropriate for the population (P) in your PICO(T) question.
Remember that a synthesis of the research evidence integrates information about why the study’s results support a specific improvement intervention addressing the identified challenge for the population (P) in your PICOT question, how the pieces of evidence fit together, how you might apply study concepts to your own project, why you chose each of the studies, and how they provide a body of evidence to support your improvement intervention. A synthesis is not an article-by-article summary; rather, it is an integration of the evidence from the studies you selected, reviewed, and appraised. It is your opportunity to address similarities and differences in the results, conclusions, implications, and perspectives inherent in the studies.

Instructions

Refine the draft literature review you completed for this week’s discussion activity.
Critically appraise each study.
Write a synthesis of the research evidence that supports two to three potential improvement interventions and identifies one best evidence-based intervention.
Requirements

Summarize your search strategy and results for six peer-reviewed studies that support two to three potential improvement interventions.
Briefly describe search methods to introduce your paper.
Include total results, results by search term, inclusion and exclusion criteria results.
Complete a literature review. (Refine the draft literature review you completed for this week’s discussion activity.)
Summarize each study’s date of publication, purpose, methods, results, and implications.
Describe significant findings.
Explain how results and findings relate to potential improvement interventions that address the challenge.
Within your literature review, critically appraise six peer-reviewed studies that support two to three potential improvement interventions.
Include information on whether the study addresses a clearly focused research question.
Evaluate each study’s methods for quality, applicability, and validity and reliability.
Confirm that each study is recent, relevant, and conducted by experienced researchers.
Synthesize research evidence from all of the studies to identify one best improvement intervention.
Describe how the evidence from the studies you selected applies to your PICOT question and the ‘I’ in the question.
Compare all of the evidence from the studies that supports potential interventions.
Discuss the importance, relevance, and significance of specific aspects of the evidence related to potential interventions.
Describe one best evidence-based improvement intervention.
Explain how you determined that the best evidence identifies one specific intervention.
Describe how the one best intervention will improve the measurable outcome (O) in your PICOT question.
Explain the intervention’s appropriateness for the specific population (P) in your PICOT question.
Describe how the intervention meets requirements for a capstone project.
Synthesize multiple sources into key themes or findings.
