NR 500 Week 6 Graded Assignment UPDATED 2023

I am currently a master’s family nurse practitioner student at Chamberlain. Today, I will be exploring evidence-based practice and how it applies to nursing practice. I will provide an example of the conceptual model or diagram used to create the evidence-based practice. Discussion of my practice track, the family nurse practitioner, will follow, addressing the rationale for obtaining this advanced degree. Also, I will be discussing specific concerns related to my area of interest and recommendations for a practice change. The problem statement in the report is the prevention of teenager depression and suicide. Furthermore, guidelines for enhancing patient outcomes, including internal and external factors, will be discussed. The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) sets the standards for the nurse practitioner core competencies. At least two NONPF competencies are relevant to the area of teenager depression and suicide. Lastly, the conclusion will be reflecting on the information provided today. Slide 2-Importance of Evidence-based practice • Evidence-based practice (EBP) collects, processing, and implements research judgments to promote better clinical trials, the work environment, or patient outcomes. It is meaningful because it aims to support the numerous beneficial care possible to enhance patient outcomes, patient safety, overall well-being, and quality of care (Schub et al.,2017). Patients require to acquire numerous adequate considerations based on the best possible evidence. EBP guarantees that clinical practice is based on reliable evidence and patients benefit as a result. Applying EBP also appears in more compatible clinical recommendations and practice crosswise the health service. Again, it strikes a purpose in securing that finite health resources are used intelligently, and that appropriate evidence is considered when decisions are made about supporting health services (Bushell, 2019). Evidence-based projects are advantageous because they form and enhance new nursing skills; they help find problem sources and assess new technologies. Evidence-based projects will stimulate the healthcare professional by requiring them to think about why methods are in place and why they are performed in such a manner. With the evidencebased practice achieved in care, nursing becomes more effective and up-to-date with the newest improvements. Appropriating the EBP method to nursing practice encourages them to implement the extraordinary quality and most cost-efficient patient care desirable (Stevens, 2017). Slide 3- Conceptual Model The Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration (ARCC) model was first imagined in 1999 by Melnyk as a mentorship structure to support advanced practice nurses in fulfilling the evidence-based practice (EBP) (Melynk et al., 2017). This model is used for organization use, based on cognitive-behavioral theory. It essentially addresses implementations of EBP and is most likely seen in massive organizations such as hospitals and community practices (Schaffer, 2013). The ARCC model benefits organizations as a whole. This model involves two levels: assessing the organization's strengths and weaknesses in completing evidence-based practice and selecting evidence-based practice guides who would escort other nurses (Melynk et al., 2017). The most challenging features of this model are classifying EBP guides and encouraging their leadership and mentoring techniques. However, even if EBP mentors are not too skilled, their leadership and assistance will enable other nurses to use EBP.
