Revison instructions “An article discussing skin-to-skin is clearly noted. Unfortunately, this article is unacceptable because it is a pilot study. Select an appropriate research article exploring the identified problem and that supports the suggested intervention so that Aspects B-B7 can be fully evaluated.”

 

B. Select a research-based article that answers your EBP question from part A2 to conduct an evidence appraisal.

1. Discuss the background or introduction (i.e., the purpose) of the research article.

2. Describe the research methodology.

3. Identify the level of evidence using the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice (JHNEBP) model.

Note: Refer to “Appendix E: Research Evidence Appraisal Tool” for information on how to level a research-based article.

4. Summarize how the researcher analyzed the data in the article.

5. Summarize the ethical consideration(s) of the research-based article. If none are present, explain why.

6. Identify the quality rating of the research-based article according to the JHNEBP model.

7. Analyze the results or conclusions of the research-based article and explain how the article helps answer your EBP question.

 

 

D. Recommend a practice change that addresses your EBP question using both the research and non-research articles you selected for Part B and Part C.

1. Explain how you would involve three key stakeholders in supporting the practice change recommendation.

2. Discuss one specific barrier you may encounter when implementing the practice change recommendation.

3. Identify one strategy that could be used to overcome the barrier discussed in part D2.
