NUR 590 Summary of Current Course Content Knowledge
NUR 590 Summary of Current Course Content
My previous knowledge fits well with numerous important course goals, particularly in spotting and assessing excellent research papers, knowing theoretical frameworks, and using evidence-based strategies to raise patient outcomes. I am familiar with scientific research concepts and information sharing, shaped mainly by prior training and experiences linked to evidence-based practice (EBP) initiatives and advanced nursing jobs. Reading essential materials, including Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare: A Guide to Best Practice (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023), helps strengthen these competencies further. Another area of knowledge is using the PICOT process and the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice.
I still need more thorough knowledge in many areas, including establishing culturally relevant clinical preventative programs and grasping the nuances of assessing health policy to enhance patient outcomes. According to Mathieson et al. (2020), greater involvement is necessary when investigating ways to create and maintain an evidence-based practice culture within organizational environments. Supported by stakeholder involvement and readiness evaluations, recent studies show that strategic implementation improves the probability of success in using EBP in clinical environments (Nelson-Brantley & Chipps, 2021). I also want to improve my capacity to create assessment strategies covering all project results.
From the course goals, I particularly want to discuss the potential for innovation via teamwork and the pragmatic implementation of EBP theories in various healthcare environments. Especially combining cutting-edge nursing techniques with technology to improve patient care results excites me (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023). Since multidisciplinary teams are vital for advancing safety and quality of care, I would also like to investigate the subtleties of running evidence-based initiatives within these teams.
Finally, I would like to explore further how evaluations for EBP initiatives would be scored, especially for group projects and cooperative tasks. In this direction, I want an additional explanation on assessing individual efforts within team environments. Furthermore, advice on using Grand Canyon University’s library resources for peer-reviewed material will be priceless in enabling me to lay a firm basis for my projects and course discussions.
