Assess the problem from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective. Plan to spend approximately two direct practicum hours meeting with a patient, family, or group of your choice to explore the problem and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. (I will be writing my paper about my 19 year old sister Zoey starting college and moving on campus 2 hours away so please incorporate this into the paper based on the assignment details. The topic I chose is Anxiety/Depression. She has both of them but does not see a doctor for either or take medication.) For this portion of your practicum, consider the following: • Identify the patient, family, or group you intend to work with. • Think about what you hope to learn. o What’s your rationale for choosing this particular patient, family, or group? • Consider how you’ll present your ideas about the problem to the patient, family, or group and convince them of its significance. • Which leadership, collaboration, communication, and change management skills will you need to apply in order to work successfully with your chosen patient, family, or group? • Which potential barriers do you foresee in presenting the problem to this patient, family, or group? • Which change management strategies might you employ to overcome these barriers? o For example, you might consider creating a sense of urgency supported by data or policy requirements. Define a patient, family, or population health problem that’s relevant to your practice. Summarize the problem you’ll explore. Identify the patient, family, or group you intend to work with during your practicum. Provide context, data, or information that substantiates the presence of the problem and its significance and relevance to the patient, family, or population. Explain why this problem is relevant to your practice as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse. Analyze evidence from peer-reviewed literature and professional sources that describes and guides nursing actions related to the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined. Note whether the authors provide supporting evidence from the literature that’s consistent with what you see in your nursing practice. Explain how you would know if the data are unreliable. Describe what the literature says about barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice in addressing the problem you’ve defined. Describe research that has tested the effectiveness of nursing standards and/or policies in improving patient, family, or population outcomes for this problem. Describe current literature on the role of nurses in policy making to improve outcomes, prevent illness, and reduce hospital readmissions. Describe what the literature says about a nursing theory or conceptual framework that might frame and guide your actions during your practicum. Explain how state board nursing practice standards and/or organizational or governmental policies could affect the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined. Describe research that has tested the effectiveness of these standards and/or policies in improving patient, family, or population outcomes for this problem. Describe current literature on the role of nurses in policy making to improve outcomes, prevent illness, and reduce hospital readmissions. Describe the effects of local, state, and federal policies or legislation on your nursing scope of practice, within the context of this problem. Propose leadership strategies to improve outcomes, patient-centered care, and the patient experience related to the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined. Discuss research on the effectiveness of leadership strategies. Define the role that you anticipate leadership must play in addressing the problem. Describe collaboration and communication strategies that you anticipate will be needed to address the problem. Describe the change management strategies that you anticipate will be required to address the problem.
