The purpose of this assignment is to synthesize a literature review that will be used to draw conclusions in order to propose an evidence-based practice change to address your identified nurse practice problem.
Using the “Literature Evaluation Table” assignment in Topic 1, and accompanying faculty feedback, you will synthesize the information created for your PICOT question into a literature review and evidence-based proposal.
In a 1,500-1,750-word paper, provide an overview that illustrates the research related to your particular PICOT question.
Use the following components from the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete the assignment:
- Identified practice problem
- Two qualitative peer-reviewed research articles
- Two quantitative peer-reviewed research articles
Use the “Research Critiques and Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Guidelines” document to organize your paper.
You are required to cite a minimum of four peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
Final Draft – Research Critiques and Evidence-Based Practice Proposal
The purpose of this assignment is to incorporate the instructor-recommended revisions or changes from the Topic 3 “Rough Draft – Research Critiques and Evidence-Based Practice Proposal” to develop a 1,500-1,750-word final draft.
Use the “Research Critiques and Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Guidelines” document to organize your essay. Questions under each heading should be addressed in the structure of a formal paper.
You are required to cite a minimum of four peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.

Topic 4 DQ1
Statistical significance refers to the likelihood that the results of a study are not due to chance, while clinical significance refers to the practical importance of the results in terms of their impact on patient care. In other words, statistical significance is a measure of the strength of the evidence, while clinical significance is a measure of the relevance of the evidence to real-world situations.
Using a quantitative research article from one of the previous topics, analyze the p-value. What is it? Is it statistically significant? If your p-value is not statistically significant, what is the clinical significance? Generalizability of research depends on a variety of factors. List three factors of generalizability, and discuss whether this research article is generalizable to the nursing problem you are researching.
Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.
