Directions:

Submission of the DPI Completed Project is the required deliverable to progress through the DPI Project implementation and completion phases.

1. Locate the “DPI Project Manuscript Template” in the PI Workspace area of the DC Network and utilize it to develop and submit initial and ongoing working versions of Chapter 4 of your DPI Project.Template Explanation on the Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project

   Proposal and the DPI Final Manuscript Template (all-in-one)

   This template is used for both the DPI Project Proposal as well as the Final Manuscript.

   You are required to refer to yourself as the Primary Investigator throughout the proposal and final manuscript. It is preferred that you write your manuscript in the third person, but when necessary, you must refer to yourself as the Primary Investigator.

   In your proposal, you will write in the future tense (present tense, i.e., the purpose of this quantitative quasi-experimental project is to…). In contrast, in the final manuscript , you will write in the past tense (the purpose of this quantitative quasi-experimental project was to… as now you have implemented your project)

   In DNP 955, you will be writing chapters 1-3 which also includes your 10-Strategic Points as an appendix. The learner is required to submit to AQR-1 by the due date week 8 (or you will not pass the course) with your manuscript in the present (future tense). In addition, in DNP 955, the appendices are as follows:

   · Appendix A is your 10 Strategic Points – REQUIRED

   · Appendix B is your instrument/tools -REQUIRED (if your project includes the use of an instrument/Tool)

   · Appendix C is your permission to use your instrument/tools -REQUIRED (if your project includes the use of an instrument)

   · Appendix D is a detailed process you as the learner will use to prepare staff/health care providers to implement the practice improvement intervention. This should include specific information obtained from the literature and from developers of the evidence-based practice guideline, protocol, toolkit, or screening tool, etc. An agenda may be included as well as an outline of materials to be used, delivery method, handouts, ppts., when, & where. Remember when you submit to AQR-1, you will include your completed cover page, abstract, TOC, chapters 1-3, and your appendices in the current APA edition.

    

   DO NOT DELETE CHAPTERS 4 AND 5 FROM THE PAPER OR YOU WILL LOSE THE FORMATTING. THE REVIEWERS ARE AWARE THEY WILL BE INCLUDED BUT ARE NOT GOING TO BE REVIEWED DURING AQR-1.

   In DNP 960, you are required to make all recommended changes listed within your AQR-1 review for chapters 1-3. This is not optional; failure to do so may result in a failing grade for DNP-960. Address all comments in the 10-Strategic Points. All edits from your AQR-1 revisions are to remain in the present (future tense) until you have received the written GCU DNP IRB Outcome Letter (typically between weeks 3-7). After you have begun implementation, you may start to write in the past tense for all 5 chapters. While waiting for the outcome letter, it is expected that all learners will write chapters 4 (including tables and figures) and 5 as a draft in preparation for the data they will be collecting in implementation.

   In DNP 965, all writing in the manuscript is written in the past tense (as long as you have received the GCU DNP IRB Outcome Letter. Submission to AQR-2 occurs at the end of week 5 in DNP 965 (required to progress to final manuscript review, no AQR- 2= continuation course).

   In this AQR-2 submission, you will submit all five chapters with the actual data (not the made update from DNP-960) along with your cover page, copywrite page, title page, abstract (paragraph form), TOC (updateable), the body of the manuscript, and all applicable appendices:

   · Appendix A GCU IRB Outcome Letter

   · Appendix B is your instrument/tools -REQUIRED (if your project includes the use of an instrument/Tool)

   · Appendix C is your permission to use your instrument/tools -REQUIRED (if your project includes the use of an instrument)

   · Appendix D is a detailed process you as the learner will use to prepare staff/health care providers to implement the practice improvement intervention. This should include specific information obtained from the literature and from developers of the evidence-based practice guideline, protocol, toolkit, or screening tool, etc. An agenda may be included as well as an outline of materials to be used, delivery method, handouts, ppts., when, & where.

   · No other appendices are needed unless you have multiple tools (which is not recommended).

   *Please make certain that you have used programs such as Grammarly (check into investing in Grammarly Premium), ThinkingStorm (GCU), an editor, a formatter, statistician, and any additional resources you feel like you need to be successful before you submit to AQR-2 and most importantly, before final manuscript review.

   Feel free to contact the AQR Manager for any questions or concerns related specifically to AQR-1 or AQR-2. Meet regularly with your Chair, mentor, and/or content expert to ensure that your manuscript meets all requirements, deadlines, and revisions. Your DNP faculty, Chairs, and Program Lead want you to be successful and are here to support you each step of the way! Please use your University Policy Handbook on your chain of command and any appeal you feel you might need.

   Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. – Psalm 89:15

The second statement is the supporting what is happening at the site. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental, quality improvement project was to determine if or to what degree the implementation of _________________ (intervention) would impact ______________(what) when compared to current practice among (population) in a ________ (setting i.e., primary care clinic, ER, OR) in ________ (state) over _______ (time). State the nursing model/theory and other frameworks used in ONE SENTENCE! Data analysis and the sample size is next Now you want to state how the results were statistically and clinically significant. How did these results impact patient outcomes impact the practice at the site and recommendations for what should be done in the future based on the project findings Comment by Author: See the DC Network, Templated Abstract in writing resources Comment by Author: – DO NOT SAY p> 0.05 or p<0.05 Must say p= VALUE (EXAMPLE: Data on the motivation to quit was measured by TTM and nicotine dependence was measured by the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) questionnaire in diabetic adult smokers aged 18 years and older, (n=16) were compared at baseline, two weeks, and four weeks post-implementation of the Five A’s model. A paired t-test showed that there was a statistically significant improvement in patient’s motivation to quit smoking (M=-2.86; SD=1.29; p=0.003), a substantial decrease in nicotine dependence (M= -1.86; SD=1.41; p=0.001), and 100% of the healthcare providers (n=6) were compliant in assessing tobacco use p=0.000). Comment by Author: (Based on the results, the Five A’s model may result in increased patient motivation to quit smoking as well as a decrease in nicotine dependence.

   Dedication Comment by Author: Title in bold font

   An optional dedication may be included here. While a practice improvement project is an objective, scientific document, this is the place to use the first person and to be subjective. The dedication page is numbered with a Roman numeral, but the page number does not appear in the Table of Contents. It is only included in the final practice improvement project and is not part of the proposal. If this page is not to be included, delete the heading, the body text, and the page break below.

SOLUTION

Data analysis is the process of evaluating and interpreting data to gain insights, make informed decisions, and support effective problem solving. Results refer to the outcomes or findings obtained from data analysis. Results can be qualitative (descriptive) or quantitative (numerical). The results of data analysis can be reported in various forms, including tables, charts, graphs, and statistical models, and are used to support conclusions and inform decision-making.
