Prepare your final evidence-based practice proposal for a project whose focus is the resolution of an issue or problem significant to improving patient care. (Patients are conceptualized as individuals, groups, families, or communities.) Make all necessary revisions and corrections to previous assignments completed in Topics 1- 4. Combine all elements into one cohesive evidence-based proposal.

Although recommendations will vary in length depending upon the problem or issue addressed, the paper must be between 4,500 and 5,000 words and formatted in APA style. The title page, abstract, appendixes, and references are not included in the word limit. The final paper should clearly describe the methods used to identify and retrieve the evidence as well as the rationale for exploring the clinical issue chosen. Clearly articulated recommendations for practice based on research evidence are essential to a successful paper.

Use section headings for each section component and address responses in narrative form. Sections of the final paper must include all of the components written to date (incorporating revisions), as well as the remaining sections. These sections include:

1. Title Page
2. Abstract
3. Introduction
4. Problem
5. Purpose
6. Question
7. Literature Review
8. Theory
9. Proposed Solution
10. Implementation Plan
11. Dissemination Plan
12. Conclusion/Summary
13. Reference Page
14. Appendices (if any)

Note that an Abstract and Appendix are not required in the individual assignments, but are expected to be added for the final version of the paper.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is required.

Dissemination of Evidence-Based Practice

Introduction

The purpose of this blog post is to introduce you to the idea of evidence-based practice and how it relates to health care professionals.

Summary:

Summary: Dissemination of evidence-based practice is a key step in the process of improving health care delivery and outcomes. It involves communicating information about new practices, or methods that have been shown to be effective in clinical trials or other studies. The goal is to inform people who can make changes at home or work based on this information so they can improve their own health and well-being by taking advantage of these new strategies. In order to disseminate evidence-based practice effectively, it must meet several criteria:

• The strategy has been tested in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). If no RCT exists, then another method should be used instead. For example, if an intervention was found effective during an observational study but not through RCTs, then it would still have value as long as there was enough evidence showing its effectiveness (i.e., more than 50%). However if there are no such studies available then you cannot use this strategy until one does exist first; otherwise you will only be spreading misinformation rather than providing valuable assistance!

Message

The message is to promote the use of evidence-based practice in a specific setting.

The message is to promote the use of evidence-based practice in a specific population.

Target Audience Analysis

Target audience analysis is a process of identifying the target audience for the evidence-based practice, determining how it will be disseminated to that audience, and determining what resources are needed to implement it. This can include:

• An assessment of current knowledge about patients or clients with particular symptoms or conditions (e.g., cancer) who are at risk of adverse outcomes from certain treatments or procedures;

• A determination of how best those who use evidence based practices will be able to identify themselfs within their local community (e.g., through websites);

• An assessment of available resources such as physicians’ offices, hospitals, health centers etc., which may contain information on evidence based care services available within their community;

Contextual Factors Analysis

Contextual Factors Analysis is a process that identifies the contextual factors that influence an intervention. The goal of this analysis is to identify how a change in one context can affect another, and how changes in one context may contribute to better outcomes. For example, if an intervention is implemented at a particular time (e.g., after school hours) with older children who are unable to attend school due to illness or other reasons, we would want to know if there are any other factors contributing towards poor attendance at school such as:

• Poor transportation options?

• Lack of supervision during recess?

Evidence-Based Practice Findings

The findings of the evidence-based practice are:

• The evidence-based practice was applied to a specific setting and target audience.

• The findings of the evidence-based practice were applied to a specific setting and target audience.

Evidence-Based Practice Findings When Applied to Specific Setting

In the real world, evidence-based practice is applied to specific settings. For example, a physician who has been studying the effects of yoga on pain and fatigue may apply their findings to patients who are experiencing those symptoms. Likewise, a nurse who has developed an intervention that helps reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertensive disease would likely want to use it with other patients with similar conditions in order for them all to benefit from the program.

The same goes for populations: if you want your intervention/programmes/interventions/etc., then you need them for everyone involved ( clinicians etc.)

Takeaway:

The takeaway is the most important part of the message. It should be a clear, concise statement of the main idea of the message.

The takeaway should be a single sentence that summarizes the content and conveys what you want to say in an easy-to-understand format.
