Discussion Post: Translational Research and Evidence-Based Practice
Part I
Imagine that the health care organization where you work was in the process of enacting a new clinical practice. As a DNP-prepared nurse, what would your role be in facilitating the translation from research into clinical practice? How would your educational and clinical background influence or affect the outcomes of this clinical practice implementation? How would outcomes be different had there not been a DNP-prepared nurse leading the translation into practice?
Part II
Review the "Levels of Evidence in Research" document located in the Class Resources. Refer to this resource as needed throughout the course.
Why is it important to use research that has a high level of evidence when applying research to practice? Search for a primary quantitative research article for the intervention for your proposed DPI Project. Explain how this article meets the required evidence level required for a primary research article.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
