1. Identify a specific area of high interest or an important clinical question related to advance nursing practice.

Narrow your topic in focus and the applicable client population (e.g., post-operative pain in a young adult male following a total knee replacement).

2. Succinctly describe how the search for evidence was completed

(1 paragraph) include databases searched, search terms, and inclusion/exclusion criteria (e.g. English language, range of publication years, etc.). No meta-analysis, systematic or integrative are permitted.

3. Specifically describe the theory (nursing or non-nursing) that you selected to apply to your identified clinical topic for this paper.   Also include your rationale for selection.  You are to state the specific concepts and relationship statements that are applicable to your topic.  In most cases, this will only be a portion of the theory.   One article, book or book chapter preferably written by the theorist should describe the theory and aspects most relevant to your topic.  This reference can be more than 5 years old.

4. Provide a succinct summary of the state of the science from 4 recent scholarly research articles (3 related to the your topic, 1 related to testing the theory selected  - recognize that this last research article  may not test the theory pertaining to your specific topic, but make an earnest attempt to find one that does).  Prefer all articles listed were published in the last 5 years:

·Evidence based summary must be primary resources.

·Provide a very brief summary of each article (e.g., purpose statement, sample – size, convenient or random sample, research design (i.e., randomized control trial, quasi-experimental, qualitative etc).and if human rights/ institutional review board (IRB) approval. If this human rights/IRB approval is not stated, then mention it as a limitation. List the purpose of each study and only the findings pertaining to the purpose statement and/or research questions or hypotheses. Do not list all the statistical tests.

·Rigor of each study needs to be discussed (e.g., quantitative study – consider reliability and validity of instruments as appropriate). If there were Cronbach alphas performed pertaining to instruments do list these and then discuss the meaning (if .7 or higher there is evidence the instrument has reliability with that study sample).  If you are describing qualitative studies state if assessment of data occurred (e.g., trustworthiness, etc.) and what was found.  Module 5 lectures and readings help with this aspect of your paper.  Identify any other factors that could have affected the study findings (e.g., attrition of 20% or more of subjects, novelty effects, small and convenient sample, etc.).

·Quality and extent of evidence – rate each of the 4 research articles according to hierarchy evidence (Table 1) page 582 of the Facchiano & Snyder (2012).  Evidence-based practice for the busy nurse practitioner: Part one: Relevance to clinical practice and clinical inquiry process. Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 24, 579-586Make sure you state why you selected the level of evidence according to the Facchiano & Snyder (2012) rating scale.

·Worth 3 of the 8 points for this section

Summary of the state of the evidence you determined pertaining to the articles you reviewed. List as a Summary heading. In these last 2-3 paragraphs, provide a coherent summary of your overall position and rationale regarding the quality and state of the evidence pertaining to your topic (level of evidence, how well the study was performed in terms of rigor or assessment of data quality, reliability and validity of the study instruments if appropriate, applicability of the findings to what type of individuals, etc.).  Refer to information in modules 1-6 (i.e., lectures, readings, handouts, etc.). See Modules 1 and 5 along with the lectures & handouts.

5. Discuss how the theory you selected can be specifically applied to your clinical topic and provide literature to support your actions from the articles you reviewed.  Now that you are better informed with scientific evidence from your literature review, how can you specifically influence and/or create change in your setting as an APN regarding your identified topic.

You need at least 2 clear and detailed illustrations of how the evidence/knowledge you have found can be moved into your practice setting with measurable outcomes.  If you plan an educational intervention, for instance, how does your selected theory affect the framing of your measurable learning objectives, content, teaching strategies, number, timing and length of teaching episodes, etc.?

6. Closing paragraph/section that summarizes what you precisely learned in terms of the state of the science, assistance the theoretical framework you selected provided and final take away messages.  We want specific statements. This section doesn’t need to be long, but specific and targeted in terms of what you learned and your final position and conclusions regarding the state of the reviewed evidence and its applicability to practice.   If you identified a major gap in the evidence from your review of the literature, state the specific question that needs to be investigated and your rationale why it needs to be performed.

7. The paper should be written following the guidelines of the American Psychological Association Publication Manual, 7th edition.

·Abstract prepared according to APA format (see pages 26-27).  No references are in the abstract.

·In addition, the paper is expected to be well organized, and have a logical flow of ideas with appropriate headings (pages 62-63 of 6th edition) and citations used.

·Paper must have a minimum of five primary references with the majority in the last 5 years

3 primary research articles focusing on their topic 

     1 scholarly article that is original work written or co-authored  

        by the theorist (OK if research article is more than 5 years  

        old)

     1 article that applies and/or tests the theory selected (does not

       need to be specifically applied to the topic that you have

       chosen). 

·Organized, clear, correct spelling and grammar, and professional in appearance.

·If you have selected a newly developed theory, the research that helped to develop it may be one of your references listed. Within the paper, make specific statements pertaining to application rather than broad generalized statements.

·No more than 10 pages excluding title page, abstract and references.
