NUR 699 GC Week 5 Discussion 1

Why is it important to incorporate a theory or model related to change when implementing practice changes? Does the benefit of incorporating a change model outweigh the time and effort it took to include it?

 

NUR 699 GC Week 5 Discussion 2

Identify barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice. What are two ways to address this problem?

Week 5 Assignment 1 – Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section E: Change Model

Details:

In 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference page), apply a change model to the implementation plan. Include the following:

1. Roger’s diffusion of innovation theory is a particularly good theoretical framework to apply to an EBP project. However, students may also choose to use change models, such as Duck’s change curve model or the transtheoretical model of behavioral change. Other conceptual models presented such as a utilization model (Stetler’s model) and EBP models (the Iowa model and ARCC model) can also be used as a framework for applying your evidence-based intervention in clinical practice.
2. Apply one of the above models and carry your implementation through each of the stages, phases, or steps identified in the chosen model.
3. In addition, create a conceptual model of the project. Although you will not be submitting the conceptual model you design in Topic 5 with the narrative, the conceptual model should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Upon receiving feedback from the instructor, refine “Section E: Change Model” for your final submission. This will be a continuous process throughout the course for each section.

Week 5 Assignment 2 – Evidence-Based Practice Proposal – Section F: Implementation Plan

Details:

In 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference page), provide a description of the methods to be used to implement the proposed solution. Include the following:

1. Describe the setting and access to potential subjects. If there is a need for a consent or approval form, then one must be created. Although you will not be submitting the consent or approval form(s) in Topic 5 with the narrative, the consent or approval form(s) should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
2. Describe the amount of time needed to complete this project. Create a timeline. Make sure the timeline is general enough that it can be implemented at any date. Although you will not be submitting the timeline in Topic 5 with the narrative, the timeline should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
3. Describe the resources (human, fiscal, and other) or changes needed in the implementation of the solution. Consider the clinical tools or process changes that would need to take place. Provide a resource list. Although you will not be submitting the resource list in Topic 5 with the narrative, the resource list should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
4. Describe the methods and instruments, such as a questionnaire, scale, or test to be used for monitoring the implementation of the proposed solution. Develop the instruments. Although you will not be submitting the individual instruments in Topic 5 with the narrative, the instruments should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
5. Explain the process for delivering the (intervention) solution and indicate if any training will be needed.
6. Provide an outline of the data collection plan. Describe how data management will be maintained and by whom. Furthermore, provide an explanation of how the data analysis and interpretation process will be conducted. Develop the data collection tools that will be needed. Although you will not be submitting the data collection tools in Topic 5 with the narrative, the data collection tools should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
7. Describe the strategies to deal with the management of any barriers, facilitators, and challenges.
8. Establish the feasibility of the implementation plan. Address the costs for personnel, consumable supplies, equipment (if not provided by the institute), computer related costs (librarian consultation, database access, etc.), and other costs (travel, presentation development). Make sure to provide a brief rationale for each. Develop a budget plan. Although you will not be submitting the budget plan in Topic 5 with the narrative, the budget plan should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
9. Describe the plans to maintain, extend, revise, and discontinue a proposed solution after implementation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION;

Why is it important to incorporate a theory or model related to change when implementing practice changes?

Introduction

Change is a constant in our lives. We are constantly changing ourselves and our environment, but it can be difficult to keep up with the pace of change. If you want to make your programs more effective, one way is by incorporating a theory or model related to change when implementing practice changes.

A change theory provides a methodical way to drive programmatic change.

A change theory is a model or framework for understanding how change happens. It provides a methodical way to drive programmatic change.

A theory can be used to understand and explain the process of change, by describing why things have happened in the past and what might happen in the future.

It can also be used as a guide for action, by helping us design interventions that will produce the desired results.

A change theory provides a clear goal and expectations for what to expect during the process of changing.

A change theory provides a clear goal and expectations for what to expect during the process of changing. It also helps explain why certain things happen in a particular situation. For example, if you are trying to implement practice changes, it is important that you have a clear idea of what should be done and why. A good theory will help guide your thoughts as well as provide clarity on how best to go about making these changes happen.

Some examples of theories include:

• The Theory Of Planned Behavior (TPB)

• Social Cognitive Theory (SCT)

• Social Ecological Modeling (SEM)

A change theory provides a plan for overcoming barriers to change.

A change theory provides a plan for overcoming barriers to change. Barriers can be internal (self-imposed) or external (environmental). A good theory will help you identify the barriers and help you overcome them.

Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)

The TPB is a theory of behavior change that suggests people will act in a certain way if they believe it’s the right thing to do, and if they are confident they can succeed. The theory states that three factors determine whether or not we behave in accordance with our intentions: subjective norms (the perceived social pressure from peers), attitude toward the behavior (whether we like or dislike it), and perceived behavioral control (how easy or hard it seems).

A change theory provides an objective basis for making decisions about implementing the change.

• A change theory provides an objective basis for making decisions about implementing the change.

• The change theory should be based on research, data and evidence that supports your experience with other similar projects. It should also be able to explain why certain factors were successful or unsuccessful in achieving desired results. Additionally, this theory will help you determine what needs to happen during each phase of implementation as well as provide you with guidance on how long it will take before you see results from your efforts (which could range from days/weeks up to several months).

• When creating a change strategy, it’s important not only to consider strategies but also how they might affect others within an organization–including leadership members who may not necessarily agree with their decision but may still support them because they understand how much work went into making this decision possible for everyone involved!

A change theory provides a way to measure the success of the changes you have implemented.

You can measure the success of your implementation by looking at how well you have been able to change certain aspects of the practice and see if they have continued to improve. There are many different ways that a theory may be used in practice, including:

• Measuring change in health behaviors related to eating, exercise and weight management (e.g., body mass index)

• Measuring changes in patient satisfaction levels after treatment (e.g., nurse-reported survey data)

• Tracking hospital admissions following surgery as one indicator of effectiveness or failure

Conclusion

In conclusion, a theory or model related to change should be incorporated into your programmatic change implementation strategy. It provides a clear goal and expectations for what to expect during the process of changing, it provides an objective basis for making decisions about implementing the change, and it provides a way to measure success. You may also want to involve other stakeholders from within your organization in order to get their input as well.
