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.
Discuss the rigor of this study using the four criteria.
Briefly, describe the findings of the study and identify any limitations.
Use the information that you have gained from your critique of the study to discuss the trustworthiness and applicability of the study. Include in your discussion any implications for the discipline of nursing.
If quantitative,

Sample Solution

Slide 1: Title Slide

  • Title: The Impact of Telehealth on Chronic Disease Management by Nurse Practitioners
  • Your Name
  • Affiliation

Slide 2: Research Problem

  • Research Problem: The integration of telehealth into chronic disease management by nurse practitioners (NPs) is rapidly expanding, yet the effectiveness of this model in improving patient outcomes, particularly among underserved populations, remains unclear.
  • Why is this a problem? Telehealth has the potential to increase access to care, improve patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs, but disparities in technology access and utilization may exacerbate health inequities.

Slide 3: Research Question

  • Research Question: What is the impact of telehealth interventions delivered by nurse practitioners on health outcomes and patient satisfaction among underserved populations with chronic conditions?

Slide 4: Research Design

  • Quantitative Study: A quantitative research design is appropriate to measure the impact of telehealth interventions on health outcomes and patient satisfaction through the collection of numerical data. By comparing outcomes between telehealth and traditional care groups, this study can determine the effectiveness of the intervention.

Slide 5: Middle-Range Theory

  • Theory: Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)
  • Application: This theory can be used to understand the factors influencing patients’ adoption and use of telehealth services. By examining the attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control related to telehealth, the study can identify strategies to promote telehealth utilization among underserved populations.

Slide 6: Literature Review

Note: This slide would typically include a table summarizing key findings from your literature review.

Slide 7: Quantitative Research Design

  • Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth interventions delivered by NPs in improving health outcomes and patient satisfaction among underserved populations with chronic conditions.
  • Design: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be used to compare outcomes between a telehealth intervention group and a control group receiving standard care.
  • Ethical Issues: Informed consent, data privacy, and ensuring equitable access to care for both groups will be addressed through rigorous ethical protocols.
  • Sampling and Recruitment: A probability sample of patients with chronic conditions from underserved communities will be recruited to participate in the study.
  • Data Collection: Data will be collected through electronic health records, patient surveys, and standardized outcome measures.
  • Data Analysis: Statistical analysis will be used to compare outcomes between the intervention and control groups, including measures of treatment efficacy, patient satisfaction, and healthcare utilization.
  • Rigor: The study’s rigor will be enhanced through careful sample selection, standardized data collection procedures, and the use of validated outcome measures.

Slide 8: Trustworthiness and Applicability

  • Trustworthiness: The use of a randomized controlled trial design strengthens the study’s internal validity and credibility. However, external validity may be limited due to the specific population and intervention.
  • Applicability: Findings from this study can inform the development and implementation of telehealth programs for underserved populations with chronic conditions. Further research is needed to explore the generalizability of the results to other populations and settings.
  • Implications for Nursing: This research contributes to the growing body of evidence on the effectiveness of telehealth in advanced nursing practice. It emphasizes the importance of addressing health disparities and improving access to care for underserved populations.

Additional Considerations:

  • Consider incorporating mixed-methods research to capture both quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Address potential confounders and biases through careful study design and analysis.
  • Disseminate findings through peer-reviewed publications and presentations to inform policy and practice.
