NURS 8114 Translation of Evidence and Application DQ
Based on your work in previous modules, you will wrap up the course with a Discussion on challenges in
translating and applying evidence to implement a quality improvement initiative. Draw on your
experience in your current or previous health care settings to consider specific barriers to address and
opportunities to leverage in advocating for evidence-based practice quality improvement.

To prepare:
Review the readings in the White, Dudley-Brown, and Terhaar text. With your current health
care organization, or an organization you are targeting for your DNP Project, in mind, consider
the area(s) of greatest challenge with regard to translating and applying evidence for a practice
change initiative, e.g., leadership, technology, collaboration, stakeholder buy-in. Focus on the
relevant text chapter(s) in your Discussion preparation.
Consider theories and best practice recommendations for addressing your identified challenges
and barriers to translating and applying evidence that would support practice change initiatives.
Reflect on the philosophy of nursing practice that you developed in Modules 1–2. Consider your
role as a DNP in creating an organizational culture that embraces evidence-based practice and
quality improvement.
With these thoughts in mind …
By Day 3 of Week 11
Post an explanation of the challenges and barriers to translating and applying evidence for practice
change in your target health care organization. Briefly explain your issue(s) of concern and describe
specific approaches for addressing these challenges. Explain how you view your role as a DNP in creating
a health care culture that promotes translation of evidence for quality improvement and explain why.
Then, recommend actions and activities you could model and lead, including through an EBP QI project,
to advocate for quality improvement and social change in nursing. Be specific and provide examples.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ posts.
By Day 6 of Week 11
Respond to at least two colleagues on 2 different days by suggesting other theories, strategies, ideas,
and/or best practices for addressing the challenges and barriers they identify. Also agree or disagree
with their view of the DNP’s role in creating a culture that enables translation of evidence and support
your reasoning, including with other actions that promote a culture that embraces translation of
evidence. Cite sources to support your posts and to recommend to colleagues.

Week 11: Translation and Application of Evidence
Imagine approaching this genial group of professionals to discuss a practice change initiative in their
health care setting. How do you anticipate they would respond? How many would quickly lose the
smile? How many would be interested but uncertain? How many eager to get started?
Translating evidence into action for quality improvement can be a particular hurdle, depending on the
people and problems involved. However, as a DNP promoting evidence-based practice to improve
patient care and outcomes, it is part of the process to anticipate the barriers and be willing to address
them. Consider your own experience with change-makers in health care or other areas of importance to
you. Advocacy is not always appreciated or welcomed, which is why it is so necessary to be prepared for
pushback and be armed with strong evidence.
In this final week, think ahead to the realities of promoting practice change and the DNP role in creating
an organizational culture that embraces translation and application of evidence for quality
improvement.
