NUR 590 Benchmark – EBP Project: Framework or Model for Change
NUR 590 Benchmark – EBP Project: Framework or Model for Change
Applying a model or framework for change ensures that a process is in place to guide the efforts for change. In 500-750 words, discuss the model or framework you will use to implement your evidence-based practice proposal project. You will use the model or framework you select in the Topic 8 assignment, during which you will synthesize the various aspects of your project into a final paper detailing your evidence-based practice project proposal.
Include the following:
Identify the selected model or framework for change and discuss its relevance to your project.
Discuss each of the stages in the change model/framework.
Describe how you would apply each stage of the model or theoretical framework in your proposed
implementation.
Create a concept map for the conceptual model or framework you selected to illustrate how it will be applied to your project. Attach this as an appendix at the end of your paper.
Refer to the “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview” document for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.
You are required to cite minimum of four peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

1.2 Apply theoretical frameworks from nursing and other disciplines to make decisions regarding practice and health-related problems at the individual and population level.
Evidence Based Medicine: Levels of Evidence
Read “Evidence Based Medicine: Levels of Evidence,” by the University of Illinois/Chicago’s Library of the Health Sciences at Peo
Review the different models and frameworks that can be used to facilitate change. Compare two and explain which is best for your evidence-based practice proposal and why. Provide rationale.
Nursing, as a profession, advances based on the quality of outcomes produced. Evidence based practice is designed to improve outcomes. To increase nursing knowledge, more evidence-based research needs to be created and applied. Research frameworks aid in EPB by giving new EPB researchers a place to start and guide the research process. Frameworks are significant by directing thought, action, planning and recruitment.
Speroni et al. (2020) state a nurse’s critical thinking skills are important for implementation and transition into practice. Additionally, understanding theories and frameworks for implementation and why EPB is so important (Speroni, 2020). There is so much room for health care improvement, that the research opportunities are endless… if we have the researchers/nurses to explore the possibilities.
Thought processes can bias research. Bluetow, 2019) speak about apophenia, the unconscious correlation of items which are not connected, which is a possibility for qualitative research. A pattern can be found anywhere if it is looked for (Bluetow, 2019). Bluetow (2019) reflects the goal of her paper was to remind folks of our unconscious bias.
Other risk factors for bias includes observational bias. For example, observers watching for hand hygiene should not be connected to a hand sanitizer producing company, as background viewpoints may interfere with the impartiality.
Recruitment can also bias a project. While unintentional, anyone who volunteers for a project has a motivation for the project. In addition, making sure a variety of background is represented, because different viewpoint can identify different problems or bias.
