In collaboration with your approved course mentor, you will identify   a specific evidence-based practice proposal topic for the capstone   project. Consider the clinical environment in which you are currently   working or have recently worked. The capstone project topic can be a   clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a quality   improvement suggestion, a leadership initiative, or an educational   need appropriate to your area of interest as well as your practice   immersion (practicum) setting. Examples of the integration of   community health, leadership, and an EBP can be found on the   “Educational and Community-Based Programs” page of the 
Healthy     People 2020
 website.

Write a 500-750 word description of your proposed capstone project   topic. Make sure to include the following:

The problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational     need that will be the focus of the project

The setting or     context in which the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or     educational need can be observed.

A description providing a     high level of detail regarding the problem, issue, suggestion,     initiative, or educational need.

Impact of the problem,     issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need on the work     environment, the quality of care provided by staff, and patient   outcomes.

Significance of the problem, issue, suggestion,     initiative, or educational need and its implications to   nursing.

A proposed solution to the identified project   topic

What is the main issue for your organization in addressing a solution   to evidence-based nursing practice? Discuss what might be the first   step in addressing and resolving this issue.

One solution would be to stop hiring anybody just to have a warm body available. Maybe advertise job openings in different places, attend career fairs, or visit and recruit from nursing schools. Also, offer better pay rates, benefits, and/or bonuses.

During your practicum, determine what clinical problem or issue the   organization is facing. Discuss two implications for nursing.

The biggest problem or issue is staffing. The turn-over rate is incredibly high and there is never enough staff to provide satisfactory patient care.

Edit the following…

Researchers show that the rate of increase of both types of diabetes increased, especially in the Latino population. The Latino youth aged below 20 years is the word hit by this epidemic. This study analyses the PICOT statement on diabetes and the Hispanic population. The focus is on the youth who have the highest risk of contracting this infection; then we provide an evidence based solution, nursing intervention, patient care, healthcare agency, and nursing practice. The focus of the study question for this PICOT Staement
is In Hispanic Americans Adolescents, ‘how does dietary, and lifestyles changes compared with no intervention reduce A1C levels in the first three months of diagnosis?

The PICOT Statement

The population under observation is the Hispanic American youth who have recently been diagnosed and found to be having more and larger increase in the rates of increase of cases of diabetes. This study examines both types of diabetes affecting the Hispanic youth aged below the age of twenty years. It has been identified in the past that the advent in which diabetes increase in the population of the Hispanic American is wanting and must be analyzed.

Without intervention, the first three months of diagnosis of a patient with diabetes leads to particular and healthy dietary pattern to help reduce the effect of diabetes. This means that the patient tries to focus on methods that can assist in treating diabetes by reducing their weight and A1C levels in the blood(Ackroyd & Wexler, 2014). However, it is clear that these people lack the knowledge to conduct a healthy lifestyle. Thus, there is always a need for clinical intervention.

With a clinical response in the diagnosis of diabetes, many patients have been identified to lose weight and maintain a health dietary as advice by the doctors and nurses. A mean weight loss for after intervention with the nurses and on the treatment of diabetes, study show that an average of 5-8.7% weight is lost before a person gets to a plateau and become reluctant in exercising.

On the other hand, patient care has also been noted to improve the healthcare for the individual with either type of diabetes. Patient care can be divided into categories such as self-centered management and quality improvement. A randomized test for 94 level patient care randomized test shows that strategies used in patient care reduce the levels of A1C by a sum of above 5%. In particular self-management reduced A1C by 0.21% patient education by 0.21%, and electronic patient registries (0.08%), and patient reminders (0.02%)(Davis et al., 2009).

The above metrics show that nursing practices improve the case of diabetes by a significant amount of A1C reduction rate. This means that the intervention of the clinical assistance, healthcare agents such as doctors, and nursing practice assist patients in achieving a healthy living. However, in of all the studies conducted, none of the third party can give a 100% management of A1C levels or weight loss(Ackroyd & Wexler, 2014). Weight is associated with chronic diabetes and lack of enough control of the sugar levels in the body.

This means that effective management and prevention of diabetes in a patient, especially a study population of Hispanic American, he patients themselves must be willing to work extra hard. Weight loss can be achieved, for example, Mike Huckabee who is recorded to have lost 110 pounds and was able to cure diabetes. It is only lack of willingness that makes the patients live with diabetes and lose the fight.

Conclusion

This study identified that the Hispanic population is the most prone to diabetes. A PICO analysis was conducted to determine the effect of various methods in assisting deal with the issue. The study showed that the intervention and a patient care assistant in reducing weight and reporting low levels of A1C.
