Management of Diabetes Mellitus among the vunerable population
Management of Diabetes Mellitus among the vunerable population
Melynk and Fineout-Overholt (2011) note that there are seven steps to the evidence-based practice (EBP) process. The first step is to cultivate a spirit of inquiry. To encourage this spirit of inquiry, you are asked in this discussion to:
- Briefly describe the problem or issue that you have decided to be the topic for your project proposal in order to orient your classmates and faculty
- Indicate how it relates to your area of specialization
- State your PICOT question.
- Indicate in parentheses after each segment, what part of PICOT the preceding words represent. For example: In patients recently discharged from the hospital following care for heart failure (P), do hand-off calls by the nurse to the primary care provider using the SBAR format (situation, background, assessment, recommendation) (I) compared to no calls (C) decrease readmission rates (O) over a one year period (T).
- Discuss which process model resonates with you and will help keep you focused during the project.
Process models included in your text (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2011) are:
Clinical scholar model
Stetler model of evidence-based practice
Iowa model of evidence-based practice to promote quality care
Model for evidence-based practice change by Rosswurm and Larrabee
Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice (JHNEBP) Model
