1) Write a brief 1-2 paragraph weekly reflection addressing the questions posed in the Reflect section of each weekly module. Edit your Reflection to include each weekly reflection.
2) Include the following sections in your Reflection.
WEEK 1: Evidence translation begins with the identification of a problem or concern. Reflect upon the eight national practice problems presented in the Global Burden of Disease Research. Select one of the practice problems to address the following. (National Practice Program: DIABETES MELLITUS)
· From a global/nationwide perspective, how does the selected practice problem impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided?
· Identify the national level key stakeholders who are affected by the practice problem and stakeholders involved in resolution.
· Are clinical practice guidelines used to address this problem? Why or why not? If used, provide a brief overview of the CPG. If a CPG is not used, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a national scale to address the problem.
· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.
· What did you learn from this week to challenge your beliefs or attitudes?
· How will this knowledge improve your effectiveness as a practice scholar?
WEEK 2: Reflect upon the selected national practice problem in Week 1 to address the following. (Practice Problem: Diabetes Mellitus// I’m from Miami, Florida)
· From a local perspective, how does the practice problem impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided?
· Identify the local key stakeholders related to the selected practice problem.
· Describe one approach used at your unique setting to address this problem. From your perspective, is this intervention effective in addressing the problem? Why or why not? If this practice problem is not addressed at your workplace, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a local scale to address the problem.
· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.
· Why is the information important?
· In what ways will you use this learning?
WEEK 3: Translation of a research-based intervention to practice involves a critical review of numerous published research studies to discern if individuals – research subjects – were treated according to the ethical values and principles as defined by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Reflect upon your selected practice problem and the eventual research-based intervention you select for your practice change project and address the following. (Practice Problem: Diabetes Mellitus)
· What are the potential benefits and harms related to your selected practice problem (Diabetes Mellitus) when considering a research-based intervention for your practice change project?
· Are there competing personal or professional values related to this research-based intervention that might impact the implementation of this intervention in your practice setting?
· What types of objections might be raised? How will you explain your decision to key stakeholders to address these objections?
§ Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.
§ What is the benefit of the learning?
§ What values can you reaffirm or want to reconsider after this learning?
WEEK 4: Select one of the organizational or behavioral change models which were used successfully for evidence-based practice change in healthcare for many years. Select one model or theory from the readings or lesson this week and: (The Behavioral or Health Belief Model)
• List the steps or the components in the change model or theory.
• Does the model or theory contain a component for appraising the evidence?
• Does the model or theory contain a component for networking with the stakeholders during all phases of practice change?
• Does the model contain components for identifying barriers and addressing barriers to implementation?
· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.
· Which change model or conceptual framework did you find most valuable and why?
· In what ways, if any, do your practices inhibit reform?
WEEK 5: Reflect upon your selected practice problem to determine a possible solution and address the following. (Practice Problem: Diabetes Mellitus)
· Create an action plan using a translation theory or model to implement the proposed solution.
· Provide a description of each component in the translation model.
· What are the barriers to implementation? What are the facilitators to overcome these barriers?
· Who are the stakeholders involved? What are their roles?
· What resources are needed for successful implementation of the solution?
· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.
· Which translation model did you find most valuable and why?
· How receptive are you to embracing change and reform?
WEEK 6: As a practice scholar, you are called to respond to a recurring medication administration error at your workplace setting and identify strategies to prevent future recurrence through interprofessional collaborative practice. Your first step is to assemble the interprofessional team. Consider the following.
· Who is on your team? What are the roles, responsibilities, and abilities of the team members?
· How will you work together? How will you determine accountability and task distribution? Identify ways to distribute and follow up on tasks among interprofessional team members.
· What strategies will you use to facilitate effective communication and collaboration?
· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.
· What approach do you use in working with others throughout the change process?
· What is your response to change? Is it inclusive of other team members? Why or why not?
WEEK 7: Reflect upon the selected practice problem in Weeks 1 and 2 and consider the following. (Practice Problem: Diabetes Mellitus)
· What are the common barriers to evidence translation in addressing this problem?
· What strategies might you adopt to be aware of new evidence?
· How will you determine which evidence to implement?
· How will you ensure continuation or sustainability of the change?
· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.
