NRS 493 GCU Barriers to Evidence Based Practice and Online Databases Discussion

DQ1

Identify two GCU Library scholarly databases that will help you find the best research articles to support your capstone project change proposal. Discuss why these two databases are better than Google Scholar or a general Internet search.

DQ2

The Institute of Medicine has stated a goal that 90% of practice be evidence-based by 2020.  According to HealthyPeople.gov, the United States is currently at approximately 15%. Discuss two barriers that might hold nursing practice from achieving this goal and suggest ways in which identified barriers may be addressed.

OBJECTIVES

The first step in developing an evidence-based, practice change proposal is to identify an issue or problem that is significant to nursing practice. In this topic, students will examine a health care clinical problem or an organizational issue and its implications to nursing practice.

Objectives:

1. Create a plan for successful completion of the course.
2. Integrate reflective practice in the form of a reflective journal.
3. Demonstrate interprofessional collaboration during the creation of the capstone project change proposal.
