Scholarly Plan

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome1. Introduction ***Clearly and succinctly articulate the specific/focused leadership/management/practice (LMP) challenge relevant to your nursing practice area.Include:
• Specific LMP population (adults, teenagers, infants, staff, management, etc.)
• A context, (hospital, clinic, home care, rural hospital)
• Background/Significance for the specific challenge (why it is a problem? Who cares?)
• To whom the LMP challenge will be submitted
• Specific expected leadership/management/practice improvement.
• Provide a specific purpose statement for this proposal.
Example: The purpose of this proposal is to describe how two interventions guided by Neuman’s System Model will improve pain management of hospitalized older adults following total knee replacement.

2 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome2. Describe the theory (nursing or non-nursing) selected to guide/shape the LMP challenge interventions from a primary theory source (article/book) to which you have full access.Include:
• Complete theory name and theory author(s)
• Rationale for the theory selection
• Theory purpose
• Relevant concepts and relationship statements
Examples of the concepts /relationships as it relates to your topic (e.g., Perceived self-efficacy and cues to action will affect the ability of a newly diagnosed teenager with Type 1 diabetes to manage his/her condition; With new nursing graduates having a mentor/coach and individualized practice with performance feedback should increase competence and performance).
Publication date of the primary theory source may be beyond 5 years.

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome3. Report the literature search process used to access research evidence r/t the LMP challenge (1 paragraph),Include:
• Databases searched
• Search terms
• Inclusion/exclusion criteria (e.g., English language, range of publication years, etc.). No meta-analysis, systematic or integrative reviews are to be included.

1 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome4. Literature Review: Describe three research articles: • Two (2) current (prefer published within the last five years) primary research articles to exemplify the importance of the LMP challenge • One (1) research article in which the theory is tested (may be published beyond 5 years and may not exactly be your topic)Include a very brief description of each article. Include:
• Purpose statement
• Sample – size
• Sampling methodology, e.g., convenience or random
• Research design e.g., randomized control trial, quasi-experimental, qualitative etc.
• Ethical/ human rights considerations
• Findings pertaining to the purpose statement and/or research questions or hypotheses
• Reported reliability and validity of sample for instruments used to measure major theory concepts
• Two specific examples of how rigor was addressed or not addressed in each study.
Apply quantitative criteria to address quantitative studies and qualitative criteria to address qualitative studies (Criteria are available in Module 5).

3 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome4. Part 2 of the Literature review – Summary of quality and extent of evidence• Rate each of the three (3) research articles according to hierarchy of evidence. In this paper, the hierarchy of evidence to be used is the Johns Hopkins framework (2022) described in Module 4, Module 5, and appendix D in the readings. Provide a rationale for each hierarchy listing.
• Provide a heading e.g., Evidence Summary
• Describe the overall quality of the literature you reviewed (1 paragraph). Include:
Overall position: Is the quality poor, good, strong
Are the findings generalizable/transferable and if so, to whom/what.
Must provide rationale for the overall position

2 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome5. Design two (2) clear, detailed, and feasible practice interventions to move the evidence into practice.Incorporate:
• Name of the interventions
• Relevant concepts/relationships from the theory/model selected
• Research evidence/knowledge
• Specific interventions – detailed so can be implemented and evaluated by another nurse
o Providers of the interventions, e.g., APRN certified in Adult/Gero Nursing
o Modes of delivery, e.g., face-to-face, internet
o Setting, e.g., outpatient clinic, home, ED
o Intervention duration, intensity, etc.
o Tailored to a specific population/cohort
o Modifications in the interventions – for the target population that may differ from the literature and if so your rationale.
• Measurable outcomes aligned with the theory & challenge
• Detailed evaluation methods, e.g., how/whom
• Expected improvement and/or measurable outcomes resulting from the two specific interventions.

If you plan an educational intervention, for instance, how does the theory you selected affect the framing of your measurable learning objectives/outcomes, content, teaching strategies, number, timing, and length of teaching episodes, etc.

6 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome6. Closing paragraph/section to assure the administrators of the importance of the proposed changes and why the LMP challenge interventions/evaluations should be adopted.Include:
• Pertinent findings from the literature/state of the science,
• Relevance of the theoretical framework you selected
• Final take away messages.
• Gaps in the literature and the specific question(s) to be investigated and rationale for the investigation.

2 pts
