Change Proposal on Nurse Burnout

Create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in the course. For this project, apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in future practice. Develop a 1,500-1,800 written project that includes the following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal: Topic – Nurse Burnout PICOT question for paper – Does nurse satisfaction improve and nurse turnover decrease in a one-year period of time, with the implementation of a stress management program and patient acuity tool?…..nurse satisfaction meaning nurses have more job satisfaction and less burnout. MUST have introduction paragraph with last sentence as the Thesis.  As well as a conclusion paragraph. Thesis is comprehensive and contains the essence of the paper. Thesis statement makes the purpose of the paper clear. 1.     Background – Background of clinical problem are clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. – the Clinical problem is nurse burnout (low satisfaction) which increases nurse turnover rates, and increases safety risk and problems with patient populations. If nurses are burnout, their level of care for patients decreases/ 2.     Clinical problem statement. – Clinical problem statement is clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. 3.     Purpose of the change proposal in relation to providing patient care in the changing health care system. – Purpose of the change proposal in relation to providing patient care in the changing health care system is logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. – the change proposal is implementing a stress management program (mindfulness program) to combat burnout and stress, in addition utilize a patient acuity tool to help balance patient acuity levels to make patient assignments equal. 4.     PICOT question. – Topic and criteria are clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. – the example above 5.     Literature search strategy employed. – Topic and criteria are clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. – the references used to support the change proposal, must be evidence based, less than 5 years old. 6.     Evaluation of the literature. – Evaluation of literature is clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. 7.     Applicable change or nursing theory utilized. – Change or nursing theory is logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. 8.     Proposed implementation plan with outcome measures. – Implementation plan and outcome measures are clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. -measure outcomes by surveying nurses about burnout, job satisfaction. Do the turnover rates decrease overtime? Do patient satisfaction scores increase overtime as well. Less patient events, less falls, med errors, etc. 9.     Discussion of how evidence-based practice was used in creating the intervention plan. – Use of evidence-based practice in intervention plan is clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. 10.  Plan for evaluating the proposed nursing intervention. – Plan for evaluating proposed nursing intervention is clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. – evaluate with surveys and patient satisfaction scores. 11.  Identification of potential barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could be overcome. – Potential barriers and plan to overcome barriers are clearly and logically presented. Relevant support and rationale are evident. –barriers is time, money, willingness to change, follow thru, desire 12.   Appendix section, if tables, graphs, surveys, educational materials, etc. are created. An abstract is not required.
