Unit 2 Assignment

Problem
Statement (PICOT)

Context

For the
first section of your final capstone project you will develop a proposal for an
intervention plan to fulfill a need within a specific population. This
assignment is meant to capture your initial thoughts about the need and
impacting factors to help focus your in-depth analysis later on in the course.
The discussion from Unit 1 will have helped you brainstorm and crystallize some
of your ideas for this assignment, specifically ideas around needs, a target
population, and some initial support from the literature and other sources of
evidence. The problem statement is an important part of your capstone project
as it will help illustrate the importance of your project, as well as help to
clarify your project’s scope.

Some
examples of appropriate projects are:

Community-based
intervention to address teen pregnancy among Native Americans.

School-based
intervention to address adolescent obesity.

Educational
program to help nurses implement IV best practices in the emergency room.

Policy
proposal to remove barriers for government aid recipients to receive breast
cancer treatment at a private clinic.

Training
program for new nurses working with the Hmong community.

Curriculum
to educate young Latina women, ages 18–24, about HIV prevention.

Web site to
educate adult patients recently diagnosed with diabetes about proactive
self-care.

Instructions

Your
problem statement will focus on presenting information related to the
problem-intervention-comparison-outcome-time (PICOT) approach to nursing
research. You will also present a brief literature review that supports the
need you identified in your problem statement and the appropriateness of your
broad intervention approach. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member
assessing your problem statement will be able to provide substantive feedback
that you will be able to incorporate into the other project components in this
course, as well as the final draft of your project. At minimum, be sure to
address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the grading criteria.

Plan Design

Context

Your
application of the PICOT approach to developing your problem statement and the
research that you conducted and synthesized in your literature review are the
foundation and framework that you will need to successfully build your
intervention plan. This plan will lay out specific components of the
intervention you are planning to address the need you have identified for the
target population and setting. You will justify your approach to the
intervention plan by integrating appropriate theoretical foundations. You will
also analyze and address the needs of stakeholders, requirements of regulatory
bodies, and ethical and legal considerations. It is important to have a sound
intervention plan design in place before trying to work on the details of
implementation and evaluation.

Unit 6 Assignment

Implementation
Plan Design

Context

Even the
best intervention plan will not be effective without a sound and reasonable
approach to implementing it. The implementation of the same intervention plan
can vary drastically between different care settings, based on the culture of
the care setting, the resources available, and the stakeholders involved in the
project, as well as the specific policies already in place. A successful
implementation plan blends contemporary and emerging best practices and
technology with an understanding of the on-the-ground realities of a specific
care setting and the target population for an intervention. By synthesizing
these various consideration it is possible to increase the likely success of
the implementation and continued sustainability of an intervention plan.

Instructions

Your implementation
plan design will be the third section of your final project submission. The
goal for this is to design a plan that will allow your intervention to be
implemented in your target population and setting. You should be able to
preserve the quality improvement outcomes that you designed for your target
population and setting while also ensuring that the intervention does not put
undue stress on the health care setting’s resources or violate any policies or
regulations. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your
implementation plan design will be able to provide substantive feedback that
you will be able to incorporate into the final draft of your project. At
minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the
grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and the Guiding
Questions: Implementation Plan Design document (both linked in the Resources)
to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. In addition to the

Unit 8 Assignment

Evaluation
Plan Design and Discussion

Context

Once an
intervention is planned and implemented it is important to evaluate the degree
to which the outcomes of the project were achieved. By evaluating the desired
outcomes of an intervention, it is possible to make more informed decisions
about opportunities for continuous improvement. It is also possible to identify
strategies and approaches that could be useful in improving one’s personal
practice in other contexts or care areas.

Instructions

Your
evaluation plan design and discussion will be the forth section of your final
project submission. The goal for this is to finalize the outcomes that your
plan is seeking to achieve and to create a plan to evaluate the degree to which
those outcomes were achieved after your intervention plan has been implemented.
This will allow you and your care setting to determine the degree to which the
plan was successful in addressing the identified need of your target population
and setting. You will also discuss ways in which your role allows you to lead
change and drive quality improvement, and to potentially improve the project in
the future. In addition, you will reflect on how the project will leave you
better prepared for success in other aspects of your current and future career.
Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your implementation
plan design and discussion will be able to provide substantive feedback that
you will be able to incorporate into the final draft of your project. At
minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the
grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and the Guiding
Questions: Evaluation Plan Design and Discussion document (both linked in the
Resources) to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. In
addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction that
refreshes the reader’s memory about your problem statement, your planned
intervention, and how you intended to implement your intervention (this should
only be a single paragraph).

Reminder:
these instructions are an outline. Your heading for this this section should be
Evaluation of Plan and not Part 1: Evaluation of Plan.

Part 1:
Evaluation of Plan

Unit 9 Assignment

Final
Project Submission

Congratulations!
The finish line is in sight for both the capstone project you have been working
on all quarter and your Master’s of Science in Nursing program. Take a moment
to appreciate all you have accomplished and give yourself a pat on the back;
you have earned it!

Your final
submission for your capstone project will bring together of all the sections
you have worked on throughout this course, as well as the relevant revisions
you have made to those sections based on feedback from your instructor, as well
as feedback you have received or observations you may have made during your
practicum experience. True professionals can learn to strive for continuous
improvement in their work and incorporate feedback from colleagues and leaders
to help scaffold improvement efforts. As a master’s-level nurse you will be
expected to create and implement plans and evaluate their outcomes. Being able
to envision a pathway for a project to move from the idea phase all the way
through the evaluation phase is a critical skill. By successfully synthesizing
the various sections of this project together into one final artifact, you will
have demonstrated your competence in this essential skill.

Instructions

For your
final capstone project submission you will synthesize the work you completed in
the Unit 2, 4, 6, and 8 assignments. Please make sure that you have made
relevant revisions as suggested by your instructor and colleagues, as well as
relevant additions that you uncovered during your practicum experience. The
only brand-new content that you will need to create for this assignment is an
Abstract and an Introduction.

This final
submission will be graded using the seven program outcomes (POs) for the
Master’s of Science in Nursing program. As a reminder they are:

Lead
organizational change to improve the experience of care, population health, and
professional work life while decreasing cost of care.
