Conduct a search for 10 peer-reviewed, translational research articles published within the last 5 years that demonstrate support for your PICOT.

The purpose of this assignment is to provide research evidence in support of the PICOT you developed for your selected topic.

Conduct a search for 10 peer-reviewed, translational research articles published within the last 5 years that demonstrate support for your PICOT.

You may include previous research articles from assignments completed in this course.

Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” provided to evaluate the articles and explain how the research supports your PICOT.

Once your instructor returns this assignment, review the feedback and make any revisions necessary.

If you are directed by your instructor to select different articles in order to meet the assignment criteria or to better support your PICOT, make these changes accordingly.

You will use the literature evaluated in this assignment for all subsequent assignments you develop as part of your evidence-based practice project proposal in this course and in NUR-590, during which you will synthesize all of the sections into a final written paper detailing your evidence-based practice project proposal.

Refer to the “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview” document for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.

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

This assignment uses a rubric. review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Describe which nursing conceptual model would be appropriate for research into this problem and why.

Theory, Research, and Practice

In this assignment, you will write a paper that analyzes a scenario and considers the relationships between theory, research, and practice in evidence-based research.

Step 1: Read the following scenario.

During the course of your practice as a staff nurse on a medical-surgical unit, the nurse manager and unit-based council state that discharge teaching for postoperative patients will now include information pertaining to wound assessments, care, and dressing changes (as needed).

The basis for this change stemmed from the unit consensus about postoperative readmissions with wound infections.

The unit-based council performed a review of the literature and has decided to implement a discharge teaching plan that will include specific information addressing wound care.

Step 2: Identify one research article pertaining to this problem.

The article must be from nursing research from the United States and be published within the last five years in a peer-reviewed journal.

Suggestions for finding an article include use of the library and journal articles posted to the Internet.

Step 3: Review aspects of theories and conceptual models.

Consider the various aspects of a theory and nursing conceptual models.

Consider the purpose of research and how theory and research work together to support evidence-based practice.

Think of how theory and nursing conceptual models could be used to reflect on the problem in nursing practice described in Step 1.

Step 4: Write a two-page paper.

Write a paper that analyzes the importance of theory, research findings, and practice as it relates to evidence-based research.

Then, using the scenario from Step 1 and the article you identified in Step 2, summarize how the aspects of a theory would help support evidence-based research into the problem described in the scenario.

Also, describe which nursing conceptual model would be appropriate for research into this problem and why.

Construct your paper and cite any sources in APA format.
