Week 3 Assignment

Clinical Problem and Literature Search Plan

Assignment Content

Evidence-based practice requires the knowledge and ability to accurately read, interpret, and evaluate the strength and evidence of research reports. The first item of business your EBP Committee is tasked with is to select a clinical problem of interest and to complete a literature search plan on the identified problem. Each week, you will continue building your EBP project due in Week 8.

Meet as a committee, keeping in mind the virtual meeting space available through Collaborate. If using Collaborate and members cannot meet, record meetings and post them so members can review and provide their contribution.

Outlined below are 4 steps to prepare your committee for completing the Literature Search Plan due this week.

Step 1: Select a Clinical Problem of Interest

Identify a clinical problem of interest.

Conduct an initial search for available literature to establish the significance of the problem. Use primary sources for statistics to establish the problem’s significance (i.e., a CDC report rather than a source citing the CDC).

Create a problem statement using the information from your initial review of literature. Utilize the following resources to develop your problem statement:

Review pp. 144-147 of Nursing Research for guidance on developing the problem statement.

Ensure that your problem statement reads like the one in Box 4.2 located on p. 135 of Nursing Research, including citations for any statements of fact.

Review “Examples of Problem Statements” on pp. 150-157 of Nursing Research.

Step 2: Develop Research Questions

Develop 1 to 3 research (PICO) questions and conduct an initial search for available literature that helps establish the significance of the problem.

Utilize the following sections from Nursing Research to assist you in developing your questions and your plan for your literature search:

“Asking Well-Worded Clinical Questions,” pp. 77-81

Table 2.1: “Question Templates for Selected Clinical Foreground Questions – PIO and PICO,” p. 80

Chapter 5: “Literature Reviews – Finding and Critiquing Evidence”

Step 3: Develop a Literature Search Plan

Resource: Literature Search Plan

Develop a literature search plan for your clinical problem.

Step 4: Summary

Write a 525-word summary describing your plan (Steps 1-3). Include the problem statement and the research questions that are being used to guide the literature search.

Provide references for all sources cited.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines, including title and reference pages.
