NURS 8410 Week 11: EBP Dissemination – Part I

NURS 8410 Week 11: EBP Dissemination – Part I

One of the chief purposes of translating evidence into practice is to advance the field of nursing. Dissemination is a critical step in this process.

It is important to disseminate and share the information gained from a translation-of-evidence project to enhance the body of knowledge within the profession, thus furthering the science of nursing. Yet how does one prepare to disseminate research findings?  What is required to engage in this form of scholarship?

This week, you assess the role of dissemination in scholarship. You also complete your practicum experience and submit your time log and final journal entry.

Discussion: Defining Scholarship

A hallmark of your education at Walden University is your development as a scholar-practitioner. As a doctoral student, you have been actively engaged in scholarly activities that support your growth as a scholar-practitioner. As you continue to develop, implement, and evaluate your EBP project, you will be applying scholarship as you translate research into practice. A key element of scholarship is dissemination.

As you prepare for this Discussion, consider the role of evaluation and dissemination in scholarship. If research is not disseminated, can it be considered scholarship?

To prepare:

• Reflect on the definitions and criteria for scholarship presented in the Learning Resources.
• Consider AACN’s definition of scholarship and their vision of the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in furthering nursing scholarship.

By Day 3

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

• What is the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in scholarship? Provide at least two specific examples.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.

By Day 6

Respond to two of your colleagues in your small group in one or more of the following ways:

• Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, evidence, or research.
• Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives.
• Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom and/or from your own research in the Walden Library
• Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.
• Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple postings.
• Expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives based on readings and evidence.

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you learned and/or any insights you gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues.

Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and any additional sources.
