Final Reflection

April 30, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Through this team project, I learned a lot about myself and my teammates, as well as ways to manage conflict. Before this project, I knew I had characteristics of leadership, but I often struggled with not being the leader. However, in this project I was able to let another individual lead and I recommended ideas but was not the team leader. This newfound knowledge will help me in the future with my nursing practice because I will be able to lead others but also let others lead, which I think is a very valuable characteristic in a team. This team project helped me better understand quality improvement and evidence-based practice initiatives that will be part of my nursing practice. The project allowed me to work as a team to finalize an evidence-based practice report that helped me understand how to work in a team on something that may be a large part of my practice in the future.

Our team process was dividing and conquering. We divided up and equally worked on the project. After we finished our piece we would peer-review the other team members’ work and critically appraise it. This allowed us to work efficiently and work well. This team process allowed us to complete valuable work for our project. I learned that as a team member myself I can lead but also follow. I also learned how to recommend another member to change something in a positive way that does not cause strife. This project truly helped me learn many things about myself and my ability to work within a team.

Ethical Considerations for EBP

April 25, 2022 / / 0 Comments

After completing all ethical assignments, my understanding of the nurse’s contribution to ethical conduct of research and implementation of research has not changed dramatically. Ethical conduct of research and implementation of research are so important in nursing because there is a potential you will be basing your care on this research. I knew it was important for a nurse to thoroughly check the ethical conduct of a research paper because it will be used to care for patients. Due to this, I believe my understanding has grown but has not changed dramatically.

It is also very important for nurses to know the historical evolution and principles of research ethics. Understanding historical events such as The Tuskegee Study is important so something like that will never happen in the future. In Miss Evers’ Boys, it showed how problematic and ethically wrong The Tuskegee Study was. It is a very good movie for nurses to watch to understand how important ethics is for their patients. Nurses should know the historical lack of research and ethics in studies so, in the future, they can provide better ethics for populations that need medical care.

After finishing the course objectives, I feel as though I am very capable of participating in the ethical conduct of research, quality improvement, and evidence-based practice initiatives. When I become a nurse, I plan to use these course objectives to help initiate evidence-based practices with my team as well as participate in ethical conduct and quality improvement to further better my care of individuals. This course has given me the key fundamentals to continue to make ethical conduct, quality improvement, and evidence-based practices better for the future.

Assumptions

My assumption about the nurse’s role in ethics regarding evidence implementation and generation before completing all the research ethics assignments was that nurses use a lot of evidence to complete care, so they need to make sure that the evidence they receive is accurate and ethical for the patient. The nurse needs to make sure the resources they have been peer-reviewed and monitored for things like plagiarism. I assumed that nurses found their evidence and made sure it was ethical before presenting it to others. I think nurses contribute to the ethical conduct of research and implementation of research findings by working with a team to make sure the articles and evidence that is being found are accurate and peer-reviewed. I think nurses play a pivotal role in making sure the evidence being provided is ethical.

Appraisal and Synthesis

April 10, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Through evidence appraisal and synthesis, I discovered a lot about my team’s topic of amount of exercise related to depression symptoms in college-aged people. Although our topic was specific to an age group I was surprised with the number of articles and appraisal there were for it. The literature appraisal and synthesis did not change my assumptions on this topic. Most of the appraisals showed that with exercise depression symptoms decreased, which was my original assumption. These findings will impact my future nursing practice because I will incorporate exercise into almost every care plan I create. Before reading these articles, I knew exercise was important to maintain proper mental and physical health. However, I know have numerous articles that helped me understand why exercise was so important. I plan to incorporate these finding a lot in my future nursing practice. My team members and I all had similar assumptions about this topic, so we all arrived at very similar conclusions about the findings. Although we came to the same conclusions and there were no challenges to our collaboration, if there were we would make sure to all meet up and talk though these challenges.
