Write the paper as the professor guides focus on APRN( advanced practice registered nurse)’s role and preventions other than medical knowledge.
This week’s assignment is STEP 2 – Project Purpose Statement, Background & Significance, and PICOT Formatted Clinical Project Question.
A selected topic from the approved list: Identification of perceived barriers to care of women seeking treatment for depression in primary care and depression management.
PICOT question: in women’s care and treatment for depression, how would the implementation of a depression screening and education program in rural primary care affect patients with this program to cope with depression better within 3 months?
The student will answer the items below in a Word doc and submit to the assignment link. Provide a title that conveys or describes the assignment.
Project Purpose Statement – Provide a declarative sentence or two which summarizes the specific topic and goals of the project.
Background and Significance – State the importance of the problem and emphasize what is innovative about your proposed project. Discuss the potential impact of your project on your anticipated results to the betterment of health and/or health outcomes. PICOt formatted
Clinical Project Questions –
Provide the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Expected Outcomes and timeframe for the proposed project.
What the professor wants in the papers are as follows: nurse practitioners should use appropriate depression screening tools to accurately assess for depression in this population, to ask culturally appropriate questions about sadness, fatigue, disinterest in daily life, and support systems. Health care professionals, exposed to a culturally appropriate education program about depression in women, can make a difference in identifying depression and treating it appropriately.
Since your capstone proposal has to be an intervention, you want to do more than identify the barriers impeding women from seeking treatment but you may want to look at provider adherence to implementing EBP practice in treating depression (Primary care providers’ adherence to treatment guidelines for the management of depression in a rural clinic) or propose a more efficient screening tool for depression and identify how to assess that tools effectiveness (Improvement of screening rates for depression in a primary care clinic).
