The dissemination of research findings into nursing practice is essential to provides some strategies to improve our sharing of new knowledge and innovations, so that patients can experience the best high quality health care and nursing practices are based on timely knowledge derived from research. The dissemination process, and transforming research into practice is a very demanding process. It requires our intelligence, creativity, clinical judgment, knowledge and skills, organizational savvy and endurance if we are committed to making a difference to improving health and health care system.

To disseminate new knowledge on pressure ulcer prevention practice, the author would present her project in OJIN (The Online Journal of Issue in Nursing) “The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing is a peer-reviewed publication that provides a forum for discussion of the issues inherent in current topics of interest to nurses and other health care professionals. The intent of this journal is to present different views on issues that affect nursing research, education, and practice, thus enabling readers to understand the full complexity of a topic. The interactive format of the journal encourages a dynamic dialogue resulting in a comprehensive discussion of the topic, thereby building up the body of nursing knowledge and suggesting policy implications that enhance the health of the public.” (OJIN, 2017) OJIN’s international readership includes nurses employed by thousands of healthcare organizations throughout the world, researchers, and educators and students in a variety of educational programs.

The conference that writer would prefer to present evidence based practice research project on pressure ulcer prevention would be NUAP Biennial Conference. This conference discuses everything on pressure ulcer. This conference provides excellent board to present new knowledge on pressure ulcer prevention. The primary mission of the NPUAP & this conference is to improve patient outcomes in pressure injury prevention and treatment. By incorporating the latest scientific evidence into the educational slide sets for teaching health care providers.

A big problem in health care today is the research-practice gap, often caused by the failure to disseminate new knowledge from research and translate this into practice. Only a small percentage of research findings get translated into practice, due to three reasons: research results may not be disseminated at all, the findings are not disseminated to the right audiences, or the results are disseminated but are then not translated into practice. These problems occur in medicine, nursing and other health disciplines many countries. Today there is a movement around the world to try to overcome these problems, and the terminology of this movement includes knowledge translation, evidence-based nursing, or evidence based practice. Through OJIN and NUAP Biennial Conference author has great opportunity to disseminate new knowledge about pressure ulcer prevention into nursing practice.

Topic 5 – DQ 2-1

Please make a comment to the text below, (don’t forget references and citation if used)

The Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), states that there are four types of domestic violence, namely intimate partner violence (IPV) which are physical violence, sexual violence, threats of physical or sexual violence, psychological/emotional abuse and coercive tactics.

Evidence shows that abuse women visit health care professionals more than non abuse women, although men do face abuse, women are significantly more likely to be physical or sexually assaulted by a current or former intimate partner partner than by an acquaintance, family member, friend or stranger. Many women do not report abuse as soon as it happens. They may think that it is a one off, or it was their fault or are afraid for them self and their children. Although many of these woman have found to have significantly chronic health problems, such as more neurological, gastrointestinal and gynecologic symptoms and chronic pain. Forced sex occurs in about 40 percent to 45 percent of IPV cases, this causing a lot of reproductive health problems, including chronic pelvis pain. There is an opportunity for nurses to assess for abuse of this nature at time of visit. Routine universal assessments for IPV is now the way forward, asking every woman at every health care visit if she has been abuse by a partner or ex partner. Signs to look out for are injuries that could be caused by blunt, squeezing and or sharp mechanisms of injury. Common form is being struck by a hand, fist or slap, laceration with a knife, razor, scalpel, glass or strangulation leading to bruises around the neck. It is important for nurses not to be judgmental, provide safety, and confidentially and provide as much support for the victim and the children, this may mean shelter. Referral to social worker/case manager to get expert help and security and safety and help with filling a report with the police if the victim want to do so, bearing in mind victim may be reluctant and even may go through all the processes of getting the help, advice and support and still end up going back. Unfortunately this happens often.

Cardiovascular Case Study

John is a 76-year-old man with a long history of stable angina and hypertension. He is prescribed nitroglycerin tablets as needed for chest pain and lisinopril for his hypertension. John has noticed that his chest pain is occurring with increasing frequency and less activity is required to initiate the symptoms; however, the pain subsides quickly with rest and one or two nitroglycerin tablets.

John is awakened from sleep with chest pain and shortness of breath. The pain is much more severe than his usual anginal pain and radiates to the jaw and the left arm. He experienced some nausea and became diaphoretic and pale. Upon admission to the local emergency department, he was noted to have significant ST-segment elevation on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).

Discussion Questions:

1. What diagnosis is consistent with John’s history and physical exam?

2. Please differentiate between a STEMI and Non-STEMI.

Task 1–Infant Mortality Rates (20 pts)

The U.S. has higher infant mortality rates than other developed nations. In the course project, you will examine many aspects of this issue.

Begin your investigation of infant mortality rates in the U.S. by gathering and analyzing statistical data.

  • Gather data about infant mortality rates in various countries. Identify five countries that have the lowest infant mortality rates and five countries that have the highest infant mortality rates.
  • Find out the infant mortality rate in the U.S. and discuss where the U.S. ranks internationally.

Note: Using tables is a helpful approach when presenting numerical data.

Task 2–Medical Causes of Infant Mortality (20 pts)

Using the South University Online Library, select and read five articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as Journal of Epidemiology, Journal of Environment Health, and Journal of Applied Epidemiology, on medical causes of infant mortality.

Write an annotated bibliography of the five articles, which should include a one-paragraph summary of each article. Write original summaries; do not merely copy the abstracts. In each of your summaries, include the following:

  • The study’s hypothesis or objective
  • The study’s methodological approach
  • The study’s pertinent findings and conclusions

Task 3–Social, Economic, and Cultural Determinants (20 pts)

Using the South University Online Library, select and read five articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as Journal of Epidemiology and American Journal of Public Health, on socioeconomic/cultural causes of infant mortality.

Write an annotated bibliography of the five articles, which should include a one-paragraph summary of each article. Write original summaries; do not merely copy the abstracts. In each of your summaries, include the following:

  • The study’s hypothesis or objective
  • The study’s methodological approach
  • The study’s pertinent findings and conclusions

Task 4–Analysis (100 pts)

Using the information gathered, write a 2- to 3-page report about effective measures to curb infant mortality rates. Consider necessary policy changes using specific evidence from your research as a guide. Note: It may be helpful to review strategies employed by nations with low infant mortality rates. Cite sources of information in the correct APA format.

Present all your work in a 3-page Microsoft Word document. Be sure to use APA format.
