PICOT QUESTION In adult hospitalized patients (P), how does the implementation of an interprofessional fall-prevention program (I), compared to standard nursing care alone (C), affect patient fall rates (O) during the hospital stay (T)? NUR3643 Research Project/PaperEvidence-Based Practice Change Using Interprofessional Teams Individual Assignment Instructions: Using the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice, choose a topic of interest for a needed change in practice (e.g., nosocomial infections, hospital readmissions, skin breakdown, falls, patient satisfaction, nurse-to-patient ratios) Seek approval from your instructor for the problem identified. Formulate a PICOT questions (Problem-Intervention-Comparison-Outcomes-Time). Seek approval from your instructor for the PICOT question. Choose five research studies on the topic, which may be quantitative or qualitative or a combination of both. Write a paper in APA format with the four parts, as described below: Introduction Describe the practice problem that you believe needs to be changed (Using the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice). Explain your rationale for choosing this problem (Using the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice). Write a PICOT question on the problem. Describe the literature search process including: inclusion and exclusion criteria, key words, and databases searched. Body Write a summary of the literature review in narrative form (five articles chosen) and include the following: Analyze the credibility of the articles by describing their strengths and limitations. Summarize the findings by comparing and contrasting the conclusions. Identify any gaps in the literature taken from these studies indicating the need for further research. Conclusion Propose a change in practice based on the evidence from the research studies. Propose an interprofessional teaminclude nurses and other health care professionals who would be included in planning, implementing, and evaluating the proposed change. Describe the plan, implementation, and evaluation of the proposed change. Describe the costs of the planning, implementation, and evaluation. Describe the cost savings, if appropriate. Explain any barriers that may prevent the implementation of the recommended changes. Describe how these barriers can be addressed/overcame. Explain your suggestions for further research.
