NURS6051 Health Information Patient Handout

Health Information Patient Handout One of the pivotal goals of consumer health literacy efforts is to design educational materials that attract as well as educate users. In this Assignment, you design a health information document on a topic that is of interest to you. To prepare: Select a health issue of interest to you. Identify the audience or population that you seek to educate about this issue. Search the Internet to find credible sites containing information about your selected topic. Review the two health literacy websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on strategies for presenting information. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/healthliteracy/ https://health.gov/healthliteracyonline/ To complete: Design an educational handout on the health issue you selected. Include a cover page. Include an introduction that provides: An explanation of your issue and why you selected it A description of the audience you are addressing In the handout itself: Develop your handout in such a way that it attracts the attention of the intended audience. Include a description of the health issue and additional content that will enhance your message (i.e., key terms and definitions, graphics, illustrations, etc.). Recommend four or five sites that provide clear, valuable, and reliable information on the topic.

Evidence Based Project Proposal Writing

Week 1 assignment 3

Evidence-Based Project Proposal Project Overview:

Title: Evidence Based Project Proposal Writing

Description:

As the course progresses over the 11 weeks, learners will develop a scholarly project that demonstrates an application of evidence to practice for substantive change. This project emphasizes critical appraisal and application of evidence-based research, scholarly writing, and critical thinking. The scholarly project will be submitted as a written paper in APA format/style. In addition, learners will present a summary of the final project orally or by creating a PowerPoint presentation.

Learners will select one of the following types of projects related to their specific advanced role specialization and target population: Educational program Evidence-based healthcare policy change Evidence-based clinical issue or protocol

ORDER A CUSTOM-WRITTEN PAPER NOW

Overview of the Evidence Based Project (EBP): In Week 1 of the course, students will identify an area of inquiry as a basis for practice change, and in Week 2, write their clinical question in PICOT format that will drive the literature search. Following approval of the practice change idea and the PICOT question by course faculty, in Week 3 students will begin their literature search and rapid critical appraisal (RCA) using the RCA checklists available in Appendix D of the course text (Melynk & Fineout-Overholt, 2011) and in Word format. The Search Tracker may be useful in organizing and tracking your search. Your evidence review will be completed in Week 4, resulting in a finished Evaluation Table containing only the “keeper” studies. In Week 5 you will synthesize the evidence to determine best evidence for your project. Faculty will continue to serve in the role of mentor as the student progresses through the remaining steps of the project. Weekly submissions will be used to monitor progress in the development of your proposal. It is recommended that upon receiving feedback from faculty on each section, you revise your work and add that section to build your final paper. Doing so as you proceed through the course will avoid last-minute work. When you began your study of evidence-based practice it was contrasted with the research process. The underlying goal of EBP is to appraise research and study its application to specific patient populations in order to identify best practices. In order to accomplish this, what must be included within your project is a research study. You will most likely compare pre-intervention data with post-intervention results. In come cases, statistical analysis will be necessary. Your proposal will include plans for this study.

EBP Project Criteria Students will prepare a formal project proposal using APA format. Below is an outline for the final Evidence Based Project Proposal Writing paper with the weeks where this content will be covered. Each week you will turn in parts of this outline as Dropbox assignments. The week each part will be due is indicated in the outline. After receiving feedback from faculty on each part submitted, it is recommended that you begin building your paper, adding the pieces where they belong. Since you will not be implementing this project, the results section has been omitted. This outline is consistent with the format used for journal articles when reporting results of evidence-based practice projects.
