Work with your group to complete the EPB Group Research and create a group PowerPoint Presentation. This is a formal 10-12-page research on your EBP practice improvement project (This does not include the title page, abstract, and references). This assignment requires the use of evidence-based references. Preferable systematic reviews, clinical practice guidelines, and protocols, RTCs and other higher level of evidence (See hierarchy)

Instructions:

Write a 10-12 research that should:

Include the body of the research with the following titled sections:
Abstract
Title (introduction)
Background
Methods
Literature Review
Discussion
Proposed Change
Proposed methods to measure outcomes
Conclusion
Describe the problem, including purpose and goal of the EBP review (EBP proposal research part 1). Start with a global description of the importance of nursing and narrow your topic to the organizational level.
Explain the Background of your problem, definition of the variables. Include any pertinent background and history pertaining to your problem or topic of interest and what has led you to believe this problem is of great significance to the nursing profession. The aim of this section is to help the reader understand the concepts and definitions of your topic of study.
Identify your source and method for searching the evidence. Find the highest level of evidence first and then proceed methodically through the hierarchy of evidence to answer the focused question. Remember “Not all evidence is created equal.” That is, we can have more confidence in some types of evidence than in others. Just because the evidence you have may be a study or a clinical guideline published by an organization does not mean that it is the best evidence (i.e., the most objective or the most trustworthy). Refer to the levels of evidence and explain on this section how do you searched and classify the evidence. Why are you trusting the results?
Include a review of the literature on your proposed change, practice guidelines or other synthesis reports. Your research should serve as a synthesis of what is currently known about your change, and what is being investigated. Do not simply summarize each of your sources; rather, integrate the information presented, and come up with your own interpretation of the data (you may use tables in this section to summarize the evidence).
Discuss, appraise and synthesize evidence. Critical review of all evidence that you will use to support your improvement efforts. Once the evidence is gathered, you must critically appraise each study to ensure its credibility and clinical significance. An easy method for conducting critical appraisal is to answer these three key questions:
What were the results of the study? (In other words, what is the evidence?)
How valid are the results? (Can they be trusted?)
Will the results be helpful in caring for other patients? (Are they transferable?)
Include suggestions for improvement/change (Aim) to whatever it is you are researching. For example, If you are proposing policy changes to current urinalysis protocols, how will this policy impact the organization and stakeholders? Patient and/or population expected to benefit directly from improved flow or process. Risk of participation is same as receiving usual care. If risk or burden is higher than with usual care, consider research & IRB
State what EBP model will you use to plan for your project. What plans do you have to measure key indicators, what about tools use to measure the outcomes, what is the validity or reliability if any. Measures may include knowledge, attitude, behavior/practices, and outcomes What about the sample? You may propose small but large enough samples to observe changes. What is the feasible for data collection, minimal time needed, resources, costs. How will you conduct the data analysis? Who will be involve in the Organization?
Write the conclusion of your research, summarizing the main points and explaining its main purpose. Restate the topic, purpose, main points and the significant of your findings. End this section with the implications for practice make emphasis on the future of your topic.

 

Sample Solution

e EU or not took place on the 23rd June. This referendum came out with shocking results to a lot of people within the UK and EU which caused the value of the pound to fall the lowest in decades. It was a very close vote as just over a half of the voters decided to leave; the result stood with majority vote of 52% for out and 48% in (Hunt and Wheeler, 2016). We will be discussing various topics as to how the Brexit affected the economy in ways such as the pound falling, trading, employment, farming and immigration.

As the U.K decided to leave the EU on 23rd June, it has had many effects on the British economy. One of our major concerns since the vote has been about how drastically the value of the pound fell.

Against one of the biggest currencies, the pound was “18% lower than the dollar” (Monaghan 2016). As you can see below, the graph shows how the value of pound dropped when the decision of the referendum was released. Since then, the value of the pound has stayed low as people are still unsure of what is going to happen when the article 50 is triggered and the UK has left the EU completely. These effects below are only the start of the consequences to the UK leaving. People stopped investing their money in the pound worried about what was going to happen. As there was a drastic drop in the investments in the pound; at the same time there are businesses at this point in time deciding to move their businesses to another country. A big example is Vodafone as they are looking to move their headquarters. The reason they wanted to move is because they liked the free movement of people within EU as it was easy to get capital and goods around and it benefited the company. (Palmer, 2016)

(Trading, 2016)

The value of the pound is depreciating as you can see from the chart above, the prices of houses within the UK is falling. This isn’t due to the high supply; however, it is due to the outcome of the referendum as people are not buying houses as no one knows what other drawbacks are going to be because of the UK leaving. Citizens of the UK are not buying houses at this current time because they are considering whether it would be the best decision to make an investment in a house and stay in the UK or move abroad depending on what other consequences we are going to have to face because of the vote to exit the EU. As the decision was made by the UK to leave, there has been a “0.4%” increase in the inflation rates as you can see in the graphs below (Statistics, 2016a). As the pound fell, the demand for goods and services increased because when the pound is converted into different currencies, the value of the pound worked out cheaper for other countries to purchase. Therefore, this was taken as an advantage as they would be able to buy more for the price they pay now in comparison to before. As mentioned, the demand has increased so the prices of goods and services have also increased too which has a similar effect on tourism. This has had a positive effect on our economy as the employment rate figures have gone down as the more tourism we get the more jobs there are to keep up with demand.
