### Project Overview
This evidence-based practice (EBP) project will guide you through the steps of EBP, aiming to integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences for optimal healthcare delivery. This five-part project enhances understanding of EBP and its role in improving patient care.
### Timeline
– **Module 01**: Research and select topic
– **Module 02**: Formulate clinical question
– **Module 04**: Reference page due
– **Module 07**: Paper submission
– **Module 10**: Staff Development PowerPoint due
### Requirements
**Clinical Question**: Formulate using the PICOT format.
– **P**: Patient Population
– **I**: Intervention or area of Interest
– **C**: Comparison intervention or group
– **O**: Outcome
– **T**: Time
**Example**: “In acute care hospitals (P), how does having a rapid response team (I) compared to not having one (C) affect the number of cardiac arrests (O) during a three-month period (T)?”
**Resources**: Evaluate literature, submit a reference page in APA format with three or more relevant sources from the past three years.
**Paper Submission**: A 2-3 page APA paper (excluding title and reference pages) describing the clinical problem:
– Reason for choosing the topic
– The PICOT question
– Possible integration of evidence in clinical practice
– Methods to evaluate implementation effectiveness
**Staff Development PowerPoint**: Present information from your paper in 10-12 slides with speaker notes, including a title and reference slide in APA format.
### Evaluation
Each project step is graded independently, with specific criteria provided prior to due dates.

### Clinical Question
**Topic**: Management of Chronic Pain in Older Adults
**PICOT Format**:
– **P**: Older adults with chronic pain
– **I**: Non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., physical therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy)
– **C**: Pharmacological interventions (e.g., opioids, NSAIDs)
– **O**: Reduction in pain severity and improvement in quality of life
– **T**: Over six months
**Example**: “In older adults with chronic pain (P), how do non-pharmacological interventions (I) compared to pharmacological interventions (C) affect pain severity and quality of life (O) over six months (T)?”
Module 01 – Course Project Introduction
· Project Overview
This project will take you through the steps of evidence-based practice (EBP). According to QSEN, EBP is to “integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences and values for delivery of optimal health care”. As a future nurse, you must embrace the spirit of inquiry mentioned previously. After completing this five-part project you will have a better understanding of how this process works and how it improves patient care.
The final piece of the project is due in Module 10 however; there are other due dates that you need to be aware of.
· Timeline
Module Assignments:
· 01 Research and select topic
· 02 Formulate Clinical question
· 04 Reference page due
· 07 Paper Submission
· 10 Staff Development PowerPoint due
· Requirements
Clinical Question – Formulate a clinical question using the PICOT format.
Resources – Search and evaluate literature on your chosen topic. Turn in a reference page in APA format. You must use three (3) or more relevant sources; to ensure the readings are relevant and current, the selected peer reviewed article must have been written within the past three (3) years.
Paper Submission – Your written assignment for the course project should be a 2-3 page APA paper (not including title page and the reference page) that describes the clinical problem and the following:
· Reason for choosing this topic
· The PICOT question
· Possible integration of the evidence that you found in clinical practice
· Methods to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation
Staff Development PowerPoint – Your staff development PPT presentation will include the information from your written paper in 10-12 slides (including a title and reference slide in APA format). Make sure to include speaker notes at the bottom of your slide to explain the content of your slide.
· Evaluation
Each assignment leading up to the final assignment is evaluated and graded independently. Your instructor will provide specific grading criteria for each step of the project prior to its due date.
