N7301 – How to Handle Assignment 2- Evidence Table
This assignment is part of NURS 7301 – Translational Science I: Evidence-Based Practice Foundations (6 Credits). This course marks the first in a series of translational science courses designed to build the foundation for advanced nursing practice at the doctoral level. It explores the philosophical underpinnings of nursing knowledge, emphasizing evidence-based practice (EBP) and its application in real-world clinical settings.
As part of this course, you are required to develop a comprehensive plan for measurement within your DNP project. This involves selecting and critically appraising research-based variables and instruments that align with your project’s purpose.
You must:
- Search for and analyze a minimum of 5 scholarly articles that discuss measurement approaches, tools, or frameworks relevant to your clinical question.
- Summarize these findings using the N7301 template, organizing key methodological and statistical information in a structured table format.
The purpose of the assignment is to equip students with the ability to:
- Define and operationalize key project variables (independent and dependent).
- Evaluate tools for validity, reliability, and clinical applicability.
- Justify the measurement strategy in a way that supports translational science and implementation feasibility.
Prerequisites: Enrollment in the DNP program
Co-requisites: None
Credit Hours: 6 Semester Hours
Grading: Letter Graded
This assignment sets the groundwork for building an evidence-based, methodologically sound DNP project by strengthening your ability to critically evaluate and apply measurement techniques within your practice setting.
