The Issue Of Advanced Practice.

 

Develop a PowerPoint Presentation in regards to the issue of Advanced Practice.

Identify a current research problem related to advanced nursing practice that is of interest to you. Include WHY this is a problem. (Limit response to no more than 3 sentences). Develop a research question to provide information about the research problem.
Based on your research question, do you believe it will best be answered by a qualitative or quantitative study ? Support your decision as to why you believe the answers would best be provided by the type of study you have chosen.
Select a middle-range theory and identify the application of nursing theories to your research problem.
Conduct a literature review.
Based on your literature review answer the following questions:
If qualitative,
Identify the purpose of the study.
Briefly, describe the design of the study and explain why you think it is either appropriate or inappropriate to meet the purpose.
Identify ethical issues related to the study and how they were/were not addressed.
Identify the sampling method and recruitment strategy that was used.
Discuss whether sampling and recruitment were appropriate to the aims of the research.
Identify the data collection method(s) and discuss whether the method(s) is/are appropriate to the aims of the study.
Identify how the data was analyzed and discuss whether the method(s) of analysis is/are appropriate to the aims of the study.
Identify four (4) criteria by which the rigor of a qualitative project can be judged.

Briefly, describe the findings of the study and identify any limitations.

Sample Solution

PowerPoint Presentation: Advanced Nursing Practice

Slide 1: Title Slide

  • Title: The Impact of Nurse Practitioner Prescriptive Authority on Medication Adherence in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure
  • Your Name
  • Affiliation

Slide 2: Research Problem

  • Research Problem: Despite the expansion of nurse practitioner (NP) prescriptive authority in many states, the impact of this role on medication adherence in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) remains understudied.
  • Why is this a problem? Medication non-adherence is a significant contributor to hospital readmissions and mortality in CHF patients. NPs have the potential to improve patient outcomes through enhanced medication management, but the effectiveness of this approach requires further investigation.

Slide 3: Research Question

  • Research Question: How does nurse practitioner prescriptive authority influence medication adherence and clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure?

Slide 4: Research Design

  • Qualitative Study: A qualitative approach will provide in-depth insights into the experiences of NPs, patients, and other healthcare providers regarding the impact of NP prescriptive authority on medication adherence and patient outcomes. This design will allow for exploration of complex factors influencing medication adherence and identification of potential barriers and facilitators.

Slide 5: Middle-Range Theory

  • Theory: Theory of Self-Care Deficit by Dorothea Orem
  • Application: This theory provides a framework for understanding how patients with chronic conditions, such as CHF, manage their self-care. By examining the role of NPs in supporting self-care behaviors, including medication adherence, this study can contribute to the development of interventions to address self-care deficits.

Slide 6: Literature Review

  • Purpose: To explore the existing body of knowledge on NP prescriptive authority and its impact on medication adherence in CHF patients.
  • Design: A systematic review of quantitative and qualitative studies was conducted to identify relevant research.
  • Ethical Issues: Issues related to participant privacy and confidentiality were addressed through informed consent and data protection measures.
  • Sampling and Recruitment: Studies included diverse populations and used various sampling methods, such as convenience and purposive sampling.
  • Data Collection: Data was collected through patient surveys, medical records, and interviews with NPs and patients.
  • Data Analysis: Quantitative data was analyzed using statistical methods, while qualitative data was analyzed through thematic analysis.
  • Rigor: The quality of the included studies varied, with some studies demonstrating stronger methodological rigor than others.
  • Findings: The literature suggests a positive association between NP prescriptive authority and medication adherence, but further research is needed to establish causality and identify factors influencing outcomes.
  • Limitations: Heterogeneity in study designs, sample sizes, and outcome measures limited the strength of the evidence.
