MSN Evidence-based Project Proposal
Nursing research has provided significant knowledge to the nursing practice. It has
shaped health care and positively impacted the health of people all over the world by promoting
health and healthy lifestyles and by advancing health care quality. Today’s complex health
problems require a multiple discipline approach. One of these health problems is the use of
opioids to manage chronic pain. Family nurse practitioners will frequently encounter patients
who are experiencing acute and or chronic pain and will be required to address this issue. The
epidemic of opioid use and overdoses, practitioners are looking for alternatives for managing
pain.
This public health crisis has motived this writer to research the effects physical therapy
has on patient’s who experience chronic pain in the hope of discovering that prescription pain
medication can be reduced. It is necessary that all efforts are made to seek alternative options for
pain management to increase patient’s functional ability, reduce pain, and improve outcomes.
This paper will discuss research and evidence-based practice, identify a nursing concern, review
PICOT/PICo questions, theoretical framework of evidence-based proposal, review research
literature, research approach, design, sampling, and proposed implementation with a change
model.
Overview of Evidenced-Based Practice Project
Zimmerman (2017) explains that evidence-based practice or EBP, is when clinical
research is incorporated into the nursing practice to provide the best and most up to date nursing
care possible. Evidence-based practices eliminates practices based on traditional and folklore
approaches. It is a comprehensive process by which information is drawn from clinical
experiences and other research which has been tested, studied, evaluated, and utilized to benefit

or improve patient care practices and their outcomes. Research involves asking specific
questions about current practices and researching outcomes related to that question. When
research shows that a change in practice would positively benefit patient care outcomes, a
collaborative approach between multiple disciplines, in the implementation of the new research
findings leads to the establishment of evidenced-based practices.
The development of evidence-based practice is being fueled by the increasing public and
professional demand for accountability in safety and quality improvement in health (Stevens,
2013). The evidence-based practice process begins with identifying a topic of interest or area of
concern. The nurse must then begin to research literature to find answers to address the problem
while evaluating the credibility of the source. The next step of the process is to assimilate the
findings into practice and evaluate the outcomes. Finally, dissemination of the findings to peers
in the medical profession. The scientific basis of evidence-based practice comes from nursing
research. EBP is crucial in nursing practice to improve patient outcomes and to ensure patients
receive quality care.
This nurse is perusing the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) tract. This writers goal is to
work either in a physician’s office or for a hospital as a Hospitalist. As the baby boomer
generation ages, nursing will see an increase in comorbidities. Patient’s will frequently report
pain either acute or chronic which affects their current or long term daily lives. Family Nurse
Practitioners will need to be able to offer a range of options for the management of the patient’s
pain. To effectively promote and provide quality care for complex health conditions, research on
health concerns is necessary for patients to receive the highest quality of care. By utilizing
evidence-base practices, health care professionals are giving patients the best chance for positive
outcomes.
