Imagine it is the final week of the course, and you are ready to present your solution to address your indentified practice problem at your practicum site. You present your evidence and plan and recommend the implementation of your proposed solution. Upon hearing your presentation, a stakeholder raises questions about the implementation based on a similar practice problem affecting a business outside of nursing. Unfortunately, you had not explored sources outside of your field, and you neglected to incorporate this evidence into your plan and recommendations.

Evidence is critical in understanding a problem and determining potential solutions to address a change. However, evidence is only as good as the exploration of sources used to gather this evidence. Flawed evidence generation can occur when sources are not carefully, thoughtfully, and thoroughly explored. Furthermore, flawed evidence generation occurs if evidence is outdated, ignored, or not considered within the context of the proposed solution or practice problem it is meant to address.

For this Discussion, you will explore the sources of evidence necessary for your identified practice problem. These sources of evidence may be derived from library databases related to nursing, or you may find sources necessary for your practice problem in the form of interviews or library databases related to other fields. Consider where you might explore sources of evidence for your practice problem. Where might you find these sources outside of your typical evidence locations? Consider why this exploration is important and meaningful for your proposed change.

To Prepare

• Review the Learning Resources covering the exploration of evidence.
• Consider the evidence necessary for your identified practice problem and consider what types of sources might need to be explored.
• Explore sources beyond the Walden Library database, and consider where evidence might be found outside of “typical” avenues.

By Day 3 of Week 5

Post a response detailing your exploration of sources of evidence for your practice problem. Consider multiple sources of evidence, rather than simply resources from the library: formal and informal interviews, national organizations, internal/external to your organization and/or practice. Consider library sources of information outside of nursing literature (e.g., business journals). Consider the impact of not including resources from specific sources. How might this create a flaw in your ability to support a proposed practice change? Be specific and provide examples.

SOLUTION NURS 8502 Week 3-5 Discussion: Exploration of Sources of Evidence

Hello Class,

My project is based on the following practice focused question: Among nurses working at a mental health clinic, can a staff education program on crisis intervention techniques improve nurses’ knowledge and confidence in managing patients experiencing acute psychiatric crises? Exploring diverse sources of evidence is vital when addressing the gap in practice, which involves improving mental health nurses’ knowledge and confidence in managing patients during acute psychiatric crises…
