Chapter 2: Scientific Underpinnings

Introduce the chapter by providing a general overview of the problem (one to two sentences). Explain the goal of the review of literature is to present an in-depth, current state of knowledge about your topic and approach to solving the problem.

Literature Search Strategy

This section should be one paragraph in length and should describe the search strategy used to find the applicable research articles. Include the databases that were used to search for research articles (e.g., CINAHL, Pubmed, Ovid, Google Scholar, etc.). Include the search terms or keywords that were used. Include the inclusion and exclusion criteria for relevant search strategies (e.g., last seven years, peer-reviewed, primary research, etc.)

Synthesis of Literature

The synthesis of literature should be no more than ten pages long and can pull from your assignment in DNP-820A. It should synthesize 15 original research studies, such as randomized control trials, synthesis of the literature with a meta-analysis, or quantitative studies. Book reviews and literature reviews should not be included. However, they should be reviewed to find sources for your literature review (i.e., hand search reference pages for applicable articles). All 15 sources should be no older than seven years. This section should reference the Literature Evaluation Table in Appendix B created in DNP-820A.

This section focuses on the scientific evidence rather than the researcher(s)’s opinion of the evidence. The studies you cite in this section must relate directly to your project. Everything should be connected in a way that is evident to the reader. In your synthesis, you should address the similarities, differences, and controversies in the body of evidence. Additionally, there should be a minimum of one original research article that discusses the specific instrument, tool, or intervention that you will be implementing in your project. Another two to three articles that support the use of this intervention at other sites should also be discussed.

Evidence-Based Practice Question

This section should be two or three paragraphs long. It clearly states (a) the project focus, (b) the population affected, and (c) how the project will contribute to solving the problem. This section should be comprehensive, yet simple, providing context for the practice project. The evidence-based practice question is written using the template: To what degree will the translation of Hsieh et al. research implementing the ABCDEF bundle impact length of stay among adult patients in high observation unit in a long-term acute care hospital in Virginia? (do not change this statement)

Change Recommendation: Validation of [The ABCDEF bundle]

This section should be two paragraphs long . In this section, summarize the strength of the body of evidence (quality, quantity, and consistency), make a summary statement, and based on your conclusions drawn from the review, give a recommendation for practice change based on the scientific evidence. This section should include a brief statement about the evidence-based practice (EBP) and include the specific practice intervention, presentation, and toolkit that you will implement.

Theoretical Framework

This section identifies the nursing theories and EBP change models that provided the foundation for the DPI project. Describe how a theory-based evaluation is essential to address the problem. First, you should describe the main tenets (i.e., foundational concepts) of the theory. Then, you should describe how these tenets will be used to guide both the practice change (change model) and the nursing theory. Your discussions should clearly connect your theoretical foundations to the practice change you are implementing by explaining how the theories justify what is being measured as well as how those variables are related. This section also must include a discussion of how the clinical question aligns with the chosen nursing theory and illustrates how the project fits within other evidence based on the theories or models.

The seminal source for each nursing theory and evidence-based change model should be identified and described. Overall, the presentation should reflect that you understand the theory or model and fully explain its relevance to the project. The discussion should also reflect knowledge and familiarity with the historical development of the theories or models. Please note models and theories are not capitalized in APA style (i.e., Lewin’s change model is correct whereas Lewin’s Change Model is incorrect).

Nursing Theory

This section discusses how the evidence-based question aligns with the respective nursing theory. This section should be at least three to four paragraphs long. When referring to your nursing theory, only reference the seminal sources (i.e., the original sources of the theory written by the theorist). Do not use secondary sources (i.e., criticism on the theory) or textbooks.

In the first paragraph, state what the nursing theory is and how it was developed.

In the second paragraph, state the main tenets of the theory. Explain what these tenets are and how they apply to nursing practice for your readers.

In the third paragraph, address how one of the tenets will be used in your project. Explain the specific steps/factors that will be used to connect the nursing theory tenet to the implementation of your project. Explain how underpinning your intervention with this tenet will improve the (a) patient outcomes and (b) implementation of your project. Continue to explain all applicable nursing tenets and how they will be applied to the project.

Synthesis of Nursing Theory

This section synthesizes how the nursing theory has been applied in at least three other evidence-based articles, research studies, or peer-reviewed projects. These sources should be related to your particularly project topic. This section should end with a paragraph that synthesizes the literature to demonstrate the theory’s applicability to your project. This section should be two to four paragraphs long.

Evidence-Based Change Model

This section identifies and describes the chosen change model and the steps/factors that are included in the model. It connects those steps/factors and describe how they are being used, implemented, and/or supported in the project. Additionally, this section discusses how the evidence-based question aligns with the change model. This section should be at least four to five paragraphs long. When referring to your change model, only reference the seminal sources (i.e., the original sources of the theory written by the theorist). Do not use secondary sources (i.e., criticism on the theory) or textbooks.

In the first paragraph, state what the change model is and how it was developed.

In the second paragraph, state the steps of the model. Define these steps are and how they can be used to drive practice change.

In the third paragraph, address how the first tenets will be used to drive the practice change. Explain the specific steps from the model that will be taken to implement the practice change. Describe (a) what you think this will look like at the proposal stage and (b) what this actually looked after the project is completed.

Continue to explain all of the model steps and how they will be used to implement the project.

Synthesis of Change Model

This section synthesizes how the change model has been applied in at least three other evidence-based articles, research, or peer-reviewed projects on a topic similar to your project. End with a paragraph that synthesizes why the use of the model in the literature makes it applicable to your project. This section should be two to four paragraphs long.

Integration of the Christian Worldview

The lack of access to quality health care is a common problem in the U.S. despite various solutions offered through legislative and socioeconomic works: universal healthcare models, insurance models, and other business models. U.S. health care would be best transformed by returning to the implementation of a traditional system founded on the Christian principles of human dignity, solidarity, subsidiarity, and working for the common good. Consider diversity, equity, and inclusion and how these concepts should be considered in the project and sample population. This section should be no more than three paragraphs long. The linked article provides a good understanding of how to articulate a Christian worldview and what is relevant to Christian principles: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5375650/

Summary

This section summarizes the key points of Chapter 2 and provides supporting citations for those key points. It then provides a transition discussion to Chapter 3 followed by a description of the remaining chapters.
