[Solved] NR715 Week 5 Assignment: Evidence Synthesis

COURSE:

NR715 – Scientific Underpinnings

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to present a synthesis of evidence using the three articles you selected in Weeks 3, 4, and 5. The development of the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool builds a body of evidence about a practice problem. Adding research studies to the Johns Hopkins Summary Tool builds the foundation for the synthesis of evidence for a practice change.

Please note that this is the first part of a 2-part paper. You will receive feedback from your course faculty on this assignment. You will be required to use the feedback to revise this paper. In Week 7, you will add to this paper and submit as the Week 7 Assignment.

Instructions

Follow these guidelines when completing the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have any questions.

  1. Review the directions and complete the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool. Use the 3 articles: 2 quantitative and 1 qualitative selected in Weeks 3, 4, and 5. These must be recent research articles less than 5 years old and be related to a National Practice Problem.
    1. Link (Word doc): Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool..
  2. Use the most current version of Microsoft Word that is the format for all Chamberlain University College of Nursing. You can tell the document is saved as the current version because it will end in “docx.”
  3. All Chamberlain University policies related to plagiarism must be observed. This written assignment will be screened for originality by Turnitin.
  4. Review the rubric for the grading criteria.

The assignment includes the following components:

  1. Title Page
  2. Introduction
    1. Introduce the practice problem.
    2. Discuss sources of research evidence identified in Weeks 3, 4, and 5.
  3. Analysis of the Practice Problem (1-2 paragraphs)
    1. Present the significance of the practice problem.
    2. Present the prevalence of the practice problem from the selected articles.
  4. Evidence Synthesis: Using the three articles (2 quantitative and 1 qualitative), write a synthesis of evidence to address the selected practice problem. In the synthesis of evidence include the following:
    1. Identify the main themes, and salient evidence that emerge from the sources. (Cited)
    2. Compare and contrast the main points from all sources. (Cited)
    3. Present an objective overarching discussion of evidence about the practice problem.
  5. Appraisal of the Evidence to Address the Practice Problem: Include the following:
    1. Identify the level of evidence.
    2. Provide a quality rating of the evidence.
    3. Appraise and support the suitability of the evidence to address the practice problem.
  6. Conclusion
    1. In one concise paragraph, provide a clear and logical conclusion summarizing the paper.
  7. Summary Table: Complete all sections of the Summary Table of Evidence using the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool. Include the following:
    1. Two Quantitative Research Studies (selected in Weeks 3 & 4 Discussion)
    2. One Qualitative Research Studies (selected in Week 5 Discussion)
    3. Complete all sections completely and identify the quality and the levels of evidence.

 

Solution  

Evidence Synthesis

Over 4 million people die each year from a disease that can be prevented and or reversed (WHO, 2022). Obesity is a global health burden linked to comorbidities such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and even cancers. This practice problem is identified in the adult population with a BMI greater than or equal to 30. The research methods include a quantitative cross-sectional design, a quantitative cluster randomized control trial, and a qualitative meta- synthesis. The purpose is to present a synthesis of evidence using three sources of the literature that highlight the national practice problem of obesity.

Analysis of obesity

Significance of the practice problem

According to the World Health Organization people are dying in epidemic proportions because of being overweight or obese (WHO, 2022). Obesity is a global problem that continues to burden the healthcare system. Being that it is both preventable and often reversible unlike many other diseases, great attention should be placed on measures that will result in proper weight management..………please click the icon below to purchase full answer at $15
