Scenario
The manager would like you to facilitate a training for new BSN nurses. As the lead on this initiative, you are responsible for teaching the group how to identify practice interventions from evidence and generate a recommendation from the group. You plan to include a synthesis of the literature and evaluation table to show the critical appraisal of the research. To prepare for this training and make recommendations, you pull out the synthesis table and complete the spreadsheet to share the process for the meetings and have an example of a completed document so you can generate recommendations as a group.
Synthesis Table
Instructions
From your practice experience, identity a practice intervention that you believe would be beneficial for the unit. Prepare a recommendation by completing the spreadsheet and including a summary in a separate document of the following:
- Describe an identified practice problem.
- Complete a review of research that includes current, peer-reviewed research or evidence-based practice articles and add all information to the synthesis table.
- Synthesize the findings of all of the research articles selected for the practice problem.
- Analyze the ethical perspectives applied in each study.
- Summarize the findings to include a recommendation of the practice intervention from the group.
