NURS 8002 University of Cincinnati Nurse Burnout in Practice Orem Theory of Self Care Paper
Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) are nurse leaders who are positioned to use theory and
evidence-based practice to influence the development of innovations designed to improve the patient
experience, the safety and quality of care, and to improve population health.
GOAL of this Module
Scholarly assignment is to use evidence-based practice (EBP) processes to develop a theory-based proposal to
present to the administrative staff (hospital, unit, clinic, office, school, etc.) of your practice area to help rethink
how to address a prominent leadership, management, or practice challenge. The focus is to design two
specific practice interventions and to evaluate the interventions with measurable outcomes aligned with the
selected theory concepts and relationships.
Include the following:
1. Identify a prominent leadership, management, or practice challenge and a context for this challenge.
Search for evidence to support the importance of the challenge.
2. Remember you are submitting this proposal to present to administrative staff (hospital, unit, clinic,
office, school, etc.) in your practice area to help rethink how to address a prominent leadership,
management, or practice challenge.
Examples:
The Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) will submit the leadership challenge to the Executive Vice
President for Nursing Innovation and the IRB at the Elite Regional Medical Center for approval to
conduct a pilot study to implement a new staffing plan.
The Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) will submit the practice challenge to the neurology head
nurse/unit manager to consider approval implementation of a well-designed educational program to
uniformly help prepare patients and their families for discharge post stroke.
3. Briefly describe the level of evidence for the two primary research articles and one research article in
which the theory is tested (not required to be current). In this paper, the hierarchy of evidence to be used
is the Johns Hopkins framework (2022) described in Module 4, Module 5, and appendix D in the
readings.
4. Select an applicable theory from a primary source (authored or co-authored by the theorist) in which the
theory is described to guide/shape the interventions applicable to the challenge. Provide a succinct
description of the theory (purpose, applicable concepts, relationship statements), and rationale for the
theory selection.
5. Design two detailed and feasible interventions and describe how the theoretical framework served as
the foundation to structure the interventions and the measurable outcomes, e.g., specific application of
concepts, relationships. (REFER TO Module 3: Session 4).
