  • “Implementing Evidence-Based Practice: A Change Management Approach”

    Oral component
    Summary
    The oral component involves presenting a 10-minute case as though to a professional team to convince them of the need to change practice and how you will do this. This builds on the question and
    evidence located and appraised in your written component.
    Presentation
    You should prepare a presentation which you could give to a professional team about the problem you have identified in practice, the evidence you have found and appraised and then how you plan
    to implement this evidence. No questions will be asked during or at the end of the presentation – so you should ensure that you convey as much detail as possible within the 10-minute time frame.
    Suggested content.
    Briefly describe the context (the environment where you may/may not implement this evidence and the issue you are trying to address).
    Briefly describe the paper which you are going to use for evidence, the results of the paper, why this one and the quality of the evidence (no more than one minute).
    Briefly describe how the results of this are paper similar to others in this field (ie is there a body of evidence drawing similar conclusions). If not – have you provided a strong justification earlier?
    The main focus of your presentation should be based on theory (about 7 minutes) covering:
    The changes you are recommending as a result of this evidence.
    How will you make these changes?
    An overview of the barriers you are expecting – include general barriers to implementing evidence-based practice as well as barriers in the particular context?
    An explanation of how you plan to overcome these barriers.
    You should also prepare and provide a ONE-page hand out to support your presentation – the format is your choice, this may be powerpoint or a summary and should INCLUDE ON THE SAME PAGE
    supporting references (eg relevant theories of change, barriers etc)
    So I is really important in this to note, you are not really focussing the presentation on the chosen paper and how you found it but rather how you will influence change in practice linking to change management theory.

  • Title: Understanding the Purpose and Challenges of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in the DNP Project

    Journal Question 5:
    Discuss your understanding of the scope, purpose, and function of the Institutional Review Boards (IRB).
    Journal Question 6: 
    Reflecting on your progress with preparing your IRB application, what aspect of the process do you find most challenging? Why? What strategies are you putting in place to address the challenges?
    the Institutional Review Board (IRB) as it relates to the DNP Project. Aspen University’s Institutional Review Board works to ensure no harm will come to the human subjects which are involved in any study. Before any research, data collection, or contact with subjects can be initiated, official approval from the University Institutional Review Board (IRB) must be granted. Only the IRB has the authority to approve research, regardless of the level of risk or type of request (exempt, expedited, or full review). Faculty members, chairs, university personnel, and staff do not have this authority.
    The purpose of the IRB is to ensure that human subjects’ protections and rights, including their data, are considered and evaluated. Before research can begin, students need to seek approval from the University IRB, which will examine the student’s research proposal to determine what kinds of risks, if any, are potentially involved. Every student must complete all of the proper forms for the IRB application and submit them to the Faculty Chair for review. The Faculty Chair, who is also the instructor for the DNP project courses, will need to sign each form of the IRB application before the Faculty Chair submits the materials to the IRB committee. Once the IRB application is received, the committee will review the material and determine approval or denial.
