WK 8 ASSIGN THOE

 LITERATURE REVIEW (NO SUBMISSION)

This week, you will begin a Literature Review Assignment, which will be due 
Day 7 of Week 10. For this 
three-part Assignment, you will search for evidence using the tools that are part of the Johns Hopkins Translation of Evidence Model.

First, you will select an organization and a practice or organization issue on which to focus. Then, you will complete Appendix B, using the PICOT format, to develop a practice-focused question to address the issue you selected. Based on your practice question, you will search for evidence to support it.

After identifying search terms using Appendix B, you will search for evidence using Appendix E and Appendix F. Based on your identified search terms, you will consider whether you need to explore both research and non-research evidence. For example, if your practice question is about developing a best practice or guideline, you will need to explore non-research evidence, such as guidelines developed by professional or government organizations, or experts in the field.

Next, you will use Appendix H to grade the evidence you found, synthesize it, and select the best evidence to use. As the final step, you will use Appendix G to record the relevant information about the articles you selected and synthesized.

Note: You will begin your Assignment this week, but you will not submit it until 
Week 10.

Note: This Assignment is hypothetical in nature and is unrelated to your Practicum and DNP Project. However, the work you put in on this Assignment will help prepare you for the Practicum and DNP Project which will come later in your program.

Note: This is a 
three-part Assignment. By 
Day 7 of Week 10, you must complete and submit Appendices B, G, and H found in the Dang et.al. text.

To Prepare

· Review the Literature Review Assignment resources located in this week’s Learning Resources. Pay special attention to Chapters 19, 20, and 21 of the White et al. text; Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 11 of the Dang et al. text; and the articles addressing the PICOT format. 

Note: Be sure to review Appendices B, E, F, G, and H in the Dang et al. text. You will be required to complete and submit Appendices B, G, and H for this Assignment.

· Select an organization with which you are familiar and a practice or organization issue which needs addressing. 

Note: You may reuse organizations and/or issues that you selected earlier in this course or select new ones.

· Consider possible practice questions to address the issue you selected. Ask yourself:

· Why is it a problem?

· What has been done about it?

· What is the gap in practice?

· Select 
one practice question to develop using Appendix B. 

Note: The PICOT components will assist you in identifying search terms. Make sure your practice question is evidence-based, nursing focused, and has measurable outcomes.

· Using the Walden Library, search the evidence to identify 
15 or more recent peer-reviewed articles (within the past 5 years) related to your practice question. 

Note: Use Appendices E and F to help you search, but you do not need to submit these for grading.

· Using Appendix H, grade the evidence and select the 
10 articles with the strongest evidence ratings. 

Note: if you have more than 10 articles that you deem worthy, you can enter up to 15 into Appendix H.

· Using Appendix H, synthesize the 
10 articles you selected.

· Using Appendix G, enter all relevant information about the 
10 articles you selected and synthesized.

Note: This is a 
three-part Assignment. By 
Day 7 of Week 10, you must complete and submit Appendices B, G, and H found in the Dang et.al. text.

The Assignment

For this 
three-part Assignment, you will submit 
three items as follows:
