Directions: Clearly state the following in the assignment area for approval and use this format:
1. Clearly identify the problem you are interested in and why it is important to your role as an Advanced Practice Nurse or in Advanced Nursing Practice , the facility, unit or population you serve. (1-3 sentences) You can open this link to assist you in finding a Phenomenon of Interest topic. What is a Phenomenon of Interest.pdf Download What is a Phenomenon of Interest.pdf
2. State the title (only) of the Evidence Based or Clinical Practice Guideline or Position Statement (vetted by an agency or organization and not opinion based or by authors/researchers) to support the topic you are interested in by providing the title. State the title of what you found and include a copy of the guideline for position statement for approval in the assignment area. Keep in mind that a title may have the wording: recommendation or guideline, but is not a Clinical Practice/Evidence Based Practice Recommendation/Guideline or Position Statement. By definition in Polit & Beck (2022), clinical practice guidelines are practice guidelines that are evidence-based combining a synthesis and appraisal of research evidence with specific recommendations for clinical decisions.
3. Indicate in the discussion: Searched topic in XYZ database with ### results, (you can further narrow this to the specific types of research if desired or place in a table format). You are not required to include the titles of the research studies.
Perform a search of your topic and specifically look for the studies described previously. If you are lacking ample studies in this area you may have difficulty with the next several assignments. Again this step is serving as a safeguard for you to ensure enough research exists on your proposed POI.
4. Develop an EBP question for your phenomenon of interest. EBP seeks and applies best clinical evidence from research, the goal is to make patient-care decisions. This is NOT the same as a research question which applies quantitative and/or qualitative methods into developing knowledge.
5. (May be needed) If after you post your #1-3 components, your faculty has any concerns or questions, then you must address those with your faculty. While this assignment is marked as complete or incomplete here, it will be part of your grade in the Module 2 Paper therefore, you must receive approval by the due date to avoid loss of points.
Example of problem stated in correct format.
1. One of the lingering viruses, HIV, continues to plague many rural and urban areas throughout the United States. As an FNP, this creates an ideal time to help refocus the public’s attention on ways to mitigate the damages caused by spreading HIV. With a large portion of HIV spread occurring in undiagnosed community members, testing should be easily available during routine well visits in those aged 15-65, regardless of risk factors.
2. Guideline/Position Statement: Screening for HIV Infection: US Preventative Services Task Force Recommendation Statement
