In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

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 not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Following discussion with my preceptor, there are different aspects that do need to be taken into account when proposing my education program to the OB clinic. The financial aspect that needs to be taken into consideration is how will the education program which is a pamphlet be printed and given to patients. The financial aspect would be a small portion of the clinic budget as the hospital has a print shop that allows for printing of educational papers to be done and ordered efficiently. One quality aspect that needs to be considered is increasing knowledge of parents. At the present moment there is a lack of retention of educational topics which leads to a lack of knowledge amongst parents on some areas of maternal child health. Increasing knowledge amongst parents depicts the need for having different methods of education to be successful with retention of knowledge. Also, clinically this education program will improve overall wellness for mother and baby following discharge from the hospital. The education pamphlet consists of tips to improve nipple pain and trauma during breastfeeding, ways to soothe a fussy baby, techniques to assist with knowing when a baby has had enough nutrition and when developing a sleep schedule is necessary. All of these aspects will improve the wellness of mom and baby following delivery. Overall, these aspects play a role in being successful with implementing an education initiative at the clinic.
