According to the textbook, nurses in various settings are adopting a research-based (or evidence-based) practice that incorporates research findings into their decisions and interactions with patients. How do you see this being applied in your workplace? In addition, how can you strive to make spirituality and self-care a practice for your patients as well as yourself? How does this practice align with the Christian worldview? 

What steps do you take to locate primary and peer-reviewed research articles when performing a literature search?

What resources are available to you to engage in a meaningful and successful literature search?

As you have explored throughout this course, Walden University provides vast resources for student support to ensure success in their academic program of study. When it comes to research and using Library resources, several support mechanisms are available to you as well.

Taking the first step to think about a research topic or area of interest and filtering that topic using a series of keywords and operations will be a fundamental component for performing a literature search in Walden Library’s databases. While the ultimate goal is to produce a set or results that match your search criteria, you must keep in mind that that the quality of the research articles obtained will likely vary. Thus, you must critically examine and analyze the aims of the research produced and how it aligns, confirms, or negates your topic or area of research. As you develop proficiency in this area, you will discover that you can extract content themes and frameworks to enhance future research and the need to identify additional research support.

For this Assignment, consult the Walden Library webinars and resources provided. These resources serve as a general good first step for performing literature searches and engaging with the databases of research available to you. Think about a research topic or area of interest to focus on for this Assignment. Then, search the Walden Library to locate and retrieve peer-reviewed research articles that pertain to your topic or area of interest. 

6-paragraph assignment in which you do the following:

•  a 1-pararaph introduction of how you conducted your literature search and the databases consulted in your search in relation to your practice area or area of interest. Be specific and provide examples.
• a 1-paragraph summary of each of the articles you have selected (a total of 3 paragraphs).
•  1 paragraph that synthesizes the three articles using a scholarly voice.
•  a final paragraph in which you discuss the differences between summarizing and synthesizing research. Be specific and provide examples.

Create a 2-page reflection on your work and experiences in this course.

Doctoral-level health care professionals have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to their field and organization. After completing any portion of a project, it is important to evaluate how well it met its objectives. Such evaluation enables practitioners and leaders to explore and reflect on their experiences and identify opportunities for future improvement.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to reflect on your achievements, challenges, and improvement opportunities related to your work on your doctoral project and at your project site during this course. By reflecting on these areas, you can deepen your critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as locate your position on your project journey as you progress to the next course.

One way you could organize your reflection is to take a simplified gap-analysis approach for each of the four main topics for the reflection:

· What happened?

. What did you do and what were the results of your work?

. Remember to mention the relevant evidence you used to guide your approach to your work.

· What went well?

· What did not go well?

. How did actual events differ from your predictions?

. If relevant, mention the evidence that helped you formulate your prediction about what should have happened.

· How are your experiences changing your thinking, analysis, and communication patterns?

. How can you use this information to improve?

. If relevant, look to the literature to support your potential changes.

While you may use any appropriate approach to organize your reflection, be sure that you address the following scoring guide criteria
:

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to the development of your QI/PI framework.

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to the development of your project implementation plan and logic model.

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to collaboration and other relevant work at the project site.

· Integrate support from scholarly and authoritative sources to strengthen claims and substantiate decision making.

Part 1:

• Research and  review at least four peer-reviewed articles on evidence-based practice applied in clinical decision support (CDS). Must be within 5 years.

Part 2: Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Recommendation

Develop a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you present your research and data to support your clinical decision support (CDS) recommendation for quality improvement.

Based on your research, address the following in your presentation:

• Synthesize your findings from your four articles, focusing on applicable models and/or theories relevant to CDS, quality improvement in your workplace, and on applicable evidence-based practice in nursing.
• Recommend CDS or information to consider in clinical decision making and explain your rationale for the recommendation. Be specific.
• Justify your recommendation. Be specific and provide examples.
• Recommend how you would address possible limitations or challenges, including:
  • Explain how you would avoid alert fatigue.
  • Explain under what conditions you would allow an override to an alert.
  • Explain how you would monitor compliance.
  • Identify factors that might contribute to continuous overrides.
  • Justify conditions under which an override may be necessary.
• Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your assignment total.
