ANSWER
Topic: Exploring the Impact of Patient Turning and Repositioning Techniques on Pressure Sore Incidence in Acute Care Settings
Research Question: What are the most effective patient turning and repositioning techniques, including frequency and positioning strategies, for reducing the occurrence of pressure ulcers among patients in specific acute care settings?
Relevance: Pressure ulcers are a common and serious complication among patients in acute care settings. They can lead to pain, infection, and prolonged hospitalization. Patient turning and repositioning are essential for preventing pressure ulcers, but there is no consensus on the most effective techniques or frequency.
Literature Review: A recent (2023) literature review by the Cochrane Collaboration found that there is moderate-quality evidence to support the use of pressure-relieving surfaces and turning and repositioning for preventing pressure ulcers in adults. However, the review also found that there is a lack of evidence on the optimal frequency and positioning strategies for turning and repositioning.
Research Gap: The Cochrane review identified a need for further research on the optimal frequency and positioning strategies for turning and repositioning to prevent pressure ulcers. This dissertation will aim to address this gap by conducting a systematic review of the literature to identify the most effective patient turning and repositioning techniques for reducing pressure sore incidence in acute care settings.
Specific Aims:
To identify the most effective patient turning and repositioning techniques for reducing pressure sore incidence in acute care settings.
To assess the frequency and positioning strategies associated with the most effective patient turning and repositioning techniques.
To develop evidence-based recommendations for patient turning and repositioning practices in acute care settings.
Methodology: The dissertation will conduct a systematic review of the literature to identify the most effective patient turning and repositioning techniques for reducing pressure sore incidence in acute care settings. The review will include studies published in the last 10 years.
The review will search the following electronic databases:
PubMed
CINAHL
MEDLINE
EMBASE
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
The review will also search the reference lists of relevant studies and reviews.
The review will include studies that meet the following criteria:
Study design: Randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, and observational studies.
Population: Patients in acute care settings.
Intervention: Patient turning and repositioning.
Outcome: Pressure sore incidence.
The review will exclude studies that do not meet the above criteria.
The review will extract data on the following variables:
Study design
Population
Intervention
Outcome
Risk of bias
The review will assess the risk of bias of each study using the Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias tool.
The review will synthesize the findings of the included studies using a narrative synthesis approach. The review will also conduct a meta-analysis of the included studies to identify the most effective patient turning and repositioning techniques for reducing pressure sore incidence in acute care settings.
Significance: This dissertation will provide valuable information on the most effective patient turning and repositioning techniques for reducing pressure sore incidence in acute care settings. The findings of the dissertation will be used to develop evidence-based recommendations for patient turning and repositioning practices in acute care settings.

Create a 2-4 page resource that will describe databases that are relevant to EBP around a diagnosis you chose and could be used to help a new hire nurse better engage in EBP.IntroductionEvidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as identify which databases and websites are credible for the purposes of implementing evidence-based changes in practice.Your Online e-PortfolioCreating an ePortfolio is not required in the BSN program, but you may find it helpful to create one to attach to your professional resume while job hunting. Online ePortfolios serve two key purposes: 1) to support learning and reflection, and 2) to be used as a showcase tool. Your learning journey can be documented, and ePortfolios contribute to lifelong learning and growth through reflection and sharing. Online ePortfolios can also be shared with employers and peers to present artifacts that demonstrate your accomplishments at Capella.Professional ContextAs a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for providing patient-centered, competent care based on current evidence-based best practices. You will be required to do research, analysis, and dissemination of best evidence to stay abreast of these best practices. Understanding where to go to find credible sources and locate evidence, as well as which search terms to use, is the foundation of incorporation of best practices.ScenarioYou are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an online library where staff has access to medical research databases (that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these resources. (For this scenario, use the Capella University Library to simulate the hospital’s online library.) You have given the nurses their patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what resources you would look for. These resources may include websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of online information.You may choose the diagnosis for the patient in this scenario or health care issue/diagnosis of your choice. Or you may choose something you would find interesting to research or that applies to a clinical problem/diagnosis you would be interested in addressing. Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of evidence (database, website, policy database or website, journal article, et cetera). You are not actually completing a search and selecting evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal abnormality.PreparationTo help ensure you are prepared to complete this assessment, review the following resources related to the Capella library. These resources will provide you an overview of the types of tools, resources, and guides available in the library. This may be useful in forming a better understanding of the library to apply to the hypothetical situation laid out in the scenario of this assessment.BSN Program Library Research Guide.

Remember, it is also appropriate to look toward databases and resources outside of the Capella library, such as organizational policies, professional organizations, and government health care resources.You are encouraged to complete the Evaluating the Credibility of Evidence activity. This activity offers an opportunity to practice evaluating the credibility of evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 1 successfully and is for your own practice and self-assessment. Completing this activity is also a way to demonstrate course engagement.InstructionsThe purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role, but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research, as well as support them through the initial evidence location process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be analyzed and utilized to stay current on best practices. This allows them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes.For this assessment:Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.
Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to this scenario or clinical practice issue/diagnosis and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
Describe where you might go in the work place to complete this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other online sources.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis/practice issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources.
Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue within the context of a specific health care setting.
Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis/practice issue.
Explain why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue.
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.
Note: While you are not selecting and evaluating specific evidence to help with the clinical diagnosis/practice issue, you should still be citing the literature and best practices to support your description of your communication and collaboration approach. Additionally, it is appropriate to cite best practices related to EBP and evaluating databases to support your explanation as to why you selected the five sources of online information that you did.Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:Assessment 1 Example [PDF].
Additional RequirementsYour assessment should meet the following requirements:Length of submission: 2-4 pages (not including the title page or the reference page) description of communication, collaboration, and evidence location process, including a list of databases or other sources with description of why they are appropriate for clinical scenario diagnosis/health care issue (that is, something that would be useable in professional practice for other nurses). Be sure to include an APA-formatted reference page at the end of your submission.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of three sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than five years old.
