 Take a moment to reflect on what descriptive statistics are and how does this impact the results? 

Translation of a research-based intervention to practice involves a critical review of numerous published research studies to discern if individuals – research subjects – were treated according to the ethical values and principles as defined by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Reflect upon your selected practice problem and the eventual research-based intervention you select for your practice change project and address the following.

• What are the potential benefits and harms related to your selected practice problem when considering a research-based intervention for your practice change project?
• Are there competing personal or professional values related to this research-based intervention that might impact the implementation of this intervention in your practice setting?
• What types of objections might be raised? How will you explain your decision to key stakeholders to address these objections?

The unit I previously worked in was changing from scheduled to open visitation; each week the staff held meetings on the proposed change. Staff who were scheduled as off came into the meetings as this was an important quality improvement project; there was no evidenced based practice outside mentor but the facility mentioned here in this journal article did have an outside evidence based practice nurse from a local university; some staff were embracing open visitation while others were not causing unit conflict; to compound matters the facility was changing corporate ownership.

Staff had concerns re job security and other staff resigned in the middle of the project; stakeholders were approached such as physicians and unit secretaries re how would they feel regarding open visitation for a family member and all bought in; the EBP expert provided research and nurses attended a journal club every 2 weeks; nurses were briefed in journal club on the best evidence for open visitation; unit secretaries kept track of the proposed and evolving change noting if open visitation was not conducted, the reason for it was documented; at shift change open visitation was not conducted due to patient confidentiality but family or significant others were allowed to remain in patient rooms with the door closed;

What facilitated the change was the biweekly journal club meetings which also became a support group due to the stressful corporate ownership change; managers met with all nurse privately and bolstered and supported each nurses role in the change; staff who came in on their days off were reimbursed by the CEO; this was similar to the policy change at the previous unit I worked on. Staff were reimbursed for tome spent in meetings on their days off.
 

The ICU unit brochure was completely redesigned reflecting the open visitation; evidence was indicating that open visitation improves communication; it enhances self satisfaction, facilitates better patient understanding, and it advances the patient-family-significant other centered care.
 

This particular unit reviewed the evidence as did my previous unit, but without an EBP specialist. An open visitation policy was succefuly initiated and it took about 10 months; staff conflict was resolved when all bought in on the evidence, and quality improvements documented by stakeholders such as unit secretaries.
 

Use of the evidence based practice initiative greatly assisted the ICU unit of 10 beds to initiate and carry forward the new adult open visitation policy in the ICU.

I NEED A COMMENT FOR THIS POST WITH AT LEAST TWO PARAGRAPH AND TWO SOURCES NO LATER THAN FIVE YEARS

 Capstone project wk 4 discussion

The next step in the process is to begin identifying the challenges and impediments to implementing a quality improvement plan. In the analysis consider the individuals affected by the change as well as the cost of implementing the quality improvement plan.

By Day 4

Post a description of some of the proposed action steps for implementing improved practice, and explain where potential challenges might compromise your proposed improvement project. Describe what resources are needed for your solution, and explain whether or not those resources are cost-effective. Continue to collaborate with the selected individuals in your practice environment as needed in the development of the Practice Experience Project, and share this information with your group.

1. Prepare examples of various coding and billing issues that can be experienced by Nurse Practitioners in the clinical setting (Pediatrics and women’s health).

2. Provide a brief description about the NPI numbers for nurse practitioners.

I download one article, choose one of the three articles

The Assignment

In a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation, address the following:

• Provide an overview of the article you selected, including answers to the following questions:
  • What type of group was discussed?
  • Who were the participants in the group? Why were they selected?
  • What was the setting of the group?
  • How often did the group meet?
  • What was the duration of the group therapy?
  • What curative factors might be important for this group and why?
  • What “exclusion criteria” did the authors mention?
• Explain the findings/outcomes of the study in the article. Include whether this will translate into practice with your own client groups. If so, how? If not, why?
• Explain whether the limitations of the study might impact your ability to use the findings/outcomes presented in the article.

Note: The presentation should be 5–10 slides, not including the title and reference slides. Include presenter notes (no more than a half page per slide) and use tables and/or diagrams where appropriate. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from the article you selected. Support your presentation with evidence-based literature.

 Psychiatric mental health nursing practice is one of the newest disciplines to be licensed to provide psychotherapy As such, the majority of psychotherapy research is centered on other disciplines such as psychology, social work, marriage/family therapy, art therapy, psychiatry, and mental health counseling. This makes it essential for you to be able to translate current literature from other disciplines into your own clinical practice. For this Assignment, you practice this skill by examining literature on group work and group therapy and considering its applicability to your own clients.
