Purpose
This discussion demonstrates your understanding of the evidence-based intervention in a quantitative research study as the intervention you translate to patients in your practice change project. As you work to find solutions for your selected practice problem during the design phase of your future practice change project, an evidence-based intervention is found through the critical review and appraisal of quantitative research. As stated in this week’s lesson, the evidence-based intervention you are looking for is not the standard of care for your patients. Recall the implementation timeframe for your Chamberlain DNP practice change project is 8 to 12 weeks. However, the published research you find will have taken place over a much longer timeframe. A single research study could be 1 to 3 years or longer. The important element of finding the right research supporting your intervention is that the intervention was shown to impact the outcome with statistical significance.
Instructions
As a DNP student, you are searching for an evidence-based intervention to translate into practice. Using the practice problem you selected in NR715, continue your search and appraisal of evidence by analyzing one quantitative randomized control trial or quasi-experimental research study. This research study should not be one that was used in NR715.
Appraise the quantitative research study using the Johns Hopkins Research Evidence Appraisal Tool. Transfer your findings to the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool. Do not submit the Johns Hopkins Research Appraisal Tool.

Include your completed Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool and permalink to the selected research study.
Analyze the selected single research study and place the information in the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool. Address the following in the discussion:
Identify the outcomes specific to the intervention measured by the research team.
Considering implementation fidelity, identify and describe the steps you would take during the design phase to translate/ implement this intervention in a practice setting.

Program Competencies
This discussion enables the student to meet the following program competencies:
1. Integrates scientific underpinnings into everyday clinical practice. (POs 3, 5)
2. Applies organizational and system leadership skills to affect systemic changes in corporate culture and to promote continuous improvement in clinical outcomes. (PO 6)
3. Uses analytic methods to translate critically appraised research and other evidence into clinical scholarship for innovative practice improvements. (POs 3, 5)
4. Appraises current information systems and technologies to improve health care. (POs 6, 7)
5. Analyzes health care policies to advocate for equitable health care and social justice to all populations and those at risk due to social determinants of health. (POs 2, 9)
7. Translates a synthesis of research and population data to support preventative care and improve the nation’s health. (PO 1)
8. Leads others in professional identity, advanced clinical judgment, systems thinking, resilience, and accountability in selecting, implementing, and evaluating clinical care (POs 1, 4)
Course Outcomes
This discussion enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
Analyze research and non-research data for the purposes of critical appraisal and judgment of evidence for translation into practice. (PCs 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8; POs 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
Formulate an emerging practice question focusing on the research-based intervention to influence practice outcomes. (PCs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8; POs 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9)
FYI: The practice problem I used in the previous course was “Obesity” and I narrowed it to adolescents and young adults.
