Theory or model which can be used as a framework for a future evidence-based project
Goal:
The purpose of this assignment is to identify a theory or model which can be used as a framework for a future evidence-based project
Content Requirements:
Review literature regarding issues or concerns within your selected area of advanced practice nursing.
Select a theory or model which is relevant to your selected area of advanced practice nursing.
Offer a meaningful context for evidence-based practice surrounding your identified issue or concern.
Identify and describe a theory or model, and explain its relevance to the issues or concerns within your selected area of advanced practice
Explain how the theory or model can be used as a framework to guide evidence-based practice to address the issue or concern and discuss the unique insight or perspective offered through the application of this theory or model.
Submission Instructions:
The PowerPoint presentation is original work and logically organized. It should consist of 10-15 slides excluding the title and reference.
The PowerPoint presentation should be clear and easy to read. Speaker notes expanded upon and clarified content on the slides.
The PowerPoint presentation should be formatted per APA guidelines and references should be current (published within the last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions)
Incorporate a minimum of 4 current (published within the last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work. Journal articles and books should be referenced according to current APA guidelines (the library has a copy of the 7th Edition APA Manual).
Sample Solution
Using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) to Improve Medication Adherence in Heart Failure Patients
Slide 1: Title Slide
- Title: Using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) to Improve Medication Adherence in Heart Failure Patients
- Your Name
- Affiliation (if applicable)
Slide 2: Introduction
- Briefly introduce heart failure (HF) as a chronic condition.
- Highlight the importance of medication adherence in managing HF.
- State the prevalence of non-adherence to medication regimens in HF patients.
Slide 3: Issues and Concerns in Heart Failure Management
- Medication adherence is a major concern in HF management.
- Non-adherence can lead to worsening symptoms, hospitalizations, and increased mortality.
- Identify factors contributing to non-adherence: complex medication regimens, side effects, cost, and health literacy.
Slide 4: Evidence-Based Practice and the TTM
- Briefly introduce the concept of evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare.
- Highlight the importance of using theoretical frameworks to guide EBP interventions.
Slide 5: The Transtheoretical Model (TTM)
- Define the TTM as a model for understanding health behavior change.
- Briefly explain the core constructs of the TTM: stages of change (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance), decisional balance (pros and cons of behavior change), self-efficacy (belief in one's ability to change), and processes of change (strategies used for behavior change).
Slide 6: Relevance of TTM to Medication Adherence in HF
- Explain how the TTM stages of change can be used to identify a patient's readiness for medication adherence improvement.
- Discuss how interventions can be tailored based on a patient's stage of change.
- (Example: Motivational interviewing for patients in precontemplation, education and self-monitoring tools for those in preparation).
Full Answer Section
Slide 7: Using TTM to Address Non-Adherence
- Explain how the TTM's decisional balance concept helps identify a patient's perceived benefits and barriers to medication adherence.
- Discuss how interventions can address these barriers and emphasize the benefits of adherence.
Slide 8: TTM and Self-Efficacy for Medication Adherence
- Explain how the TTM's self-efficacy construct can be used to enhance a patient's belief in their ability to adhere to medication regimens.
- Discuss interventions like goal setting, skills training, and positive reinforcement to boost self-efficacy.
Slide 9: Processes of Change in TTM and Medication Adherence
- Briefly explain the TTM's processes of change (e.g., behavioral commitment, counterconditioning, reinforcement management).
- Discuss how interventions can incorporate these processes to support medication adherence.
- (Example: Providing medication reminders, implementing reward systems for adherence).
Slide 10: Unique Insights from Using the TTM
- Emphasize the TTM's strength in tailoring interventions to individual patient needs and stages of change.
- Highlight how the TTM promotes patient autonomy and empowers them to manage their HF through medication adherence.
Slide 11: Conclusion
- Summarize the key points about the TTM and its relevance to improving medication adherence in HF patients.
- Briefly discuss the potential benefits of using the TTM framework in designing and implementing future EBP interventions for this population.
Slide 12: References
- List at least 4 scholarly references (published within the last five years) used in your presentation according to APA style.
Speaker Notes:
- Expand on the content of each slide, providing additional details and examples where appropriate.
- Briefly discuss the strengths and limitations of the TTM.
- Mention potential future research directions using the TTM framework in the context of HF management.
Additional Notes:
- This is a sample structure for your presentation. You can adjust the content and number of slides based on your specific needs.
- Remember to incorporate high-quality visuals and maintain a clear and concise presentation style.
