Assignment Overview:

This assignment will guide you in applying evidence-based practice (EBP) skills through a focused literature search to support your approved PICO or PIO question. You’ll use scholarly databases (not Google) to locate and evaluate high-level research evidence relevant to your topic.

This activity will help you:

• Identify strong sources of evidence
• Organize findings using a standardized tool
• Prepare for your final paper by practicing synthesis and documentation

Youll complete the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice (JHEBP) Appendix G: Evidence Summary Table, which youll also use in your Signature Assignment. This is your opportunity to practice using this tool and connect research findings directly to nursing practice.

What You Will Do:

• Complete the Module 5 EBP Assignment Worksheet by typing directly into the provided spaces.
• Use scholarly databases such as CINAHL, PubMed, or the Cochrane Library to locate high-quality research related to your approved PICO/PIO question.
• Refer to the Directions for Completing the Appendix G Evidence Summary Tool for guidance as you complete the evidence table.
• Use the Appendix D: Evidence Level and Quality Guide to determine the strength of the evidence you find.
• Cite all sources in APA 7th edition format.
• Submit the completed worksheet by the due date.
• Review the grading rubric provided in the assignment module for evaluation criteria.

Find 5 peer reviewed articles about your capstone project. Write a literature review.

Please follow the assignment rubric

• A literature review is not an annotated bibliography in which you summarize briefly each article that you have reviewed.
• While a summary of what you have read is contained within the literature review, it goes well beyond merely summarizing professional literature.
• It focuses on a specific topic of interest and includes your critical analysis of the relationship among different works, and relating this research to your work.
• In this case, your work will be your capstone project.
• It may be written as a stand-alone paper or to provide a theoretical framework and rationale for a research study (such as a thesis or dissertation).
• Your literature review will be written as a standalone paper.

Below is information about the structure of the literature review, finding credible information for research assignments, formulating research questions, search strategies and a literature review template:

For the title page, follow the guidelines below. Information without brackets should remain as

written. The learner should replace the information within the brackets with the requested

information, and all prior information and brackets should be removed.

Literature Review

[The introduction to the paper must be at least 5 sentences with 1 in-text citation, a

fully stated purpose statement, and PICOT Question. In this section, introduce the topic to

the reader. Indicate why the selected topic is important and why it is important to conduct a

literature review as part of the project. Make sure the PICOT question is written as a quality

improvement question, not a research question and that it contains all components of PICOT.

End this section stating, “The purpose of this paper is … “]

Project Proposal Topic

[The project proposal section must be at least 1 fully formed paragraph (at least 5

sentences in length) with in-text citations. In this section, present an overview of the topic

by discussing the topic in general. Consider providing some background information and

describing the gap (current practice versus best practice) in nursing practice that was

identified. Consider using statistics here to reinforce the point.]

Methods of Searching

[This section must be at least 1 fully formed paragraph (at least 5 sentences in

length).This section should describe how the literature search was conducted. For example: A

literature review was conducted using both electronic and manual resources… Describe how

the search for literature was conducted by explaining what databases or search engines were

used to find the peer-reviewed articles. Describe what keywords were used; what date range was

used to obtain the most current information (remember they must be less than 5 years old); what

things were excluded (example: blogs, websites with biased information, etc).]

Review of the Literature

[There must be at least 5 fully formed paragraphs (at least 5 sentences in length)

with 5 in-text citations that correlate with the current, peer-reviewed references used. This

will be the bulk of the review. Organization of the material here is important. In one paragraph

for each of the 5 current, peer-reviewed articles, elaborate on the relation to the project

topic/PICOT question, as well as what best practices were identified. Integrate key details of

each article, demonstrating a clear understanding of the content reviewed. Consider the main

takeaways after reading each article as they relate to the project project/intervention. This

section should outline details of each article and also include the learners insight as they relate

to the project and PICOT. Also include any other pertinent information about the topic that was

discussed in the articles chosen.]

Collaborative leadership and patient- and family-centered care are essential components of professional nursing practice. Effective nurse leaders play a critical role in fostering interprofessional collaboration to improve patient outcomes and healthcare quality. According to Mason et al. (2020), nursing leadership extends beyond bedside care and includes influencing policy, advocating for system-level change, and promoting teamwork across disciplines. Collaborative leadership strengthens communication, accountability, and shared decision-making within healthcare teams, ultimately enhancing safety and quality outcomes.

The American Nurses Association (ANA, 2015a; 2015b; 2015c) emphasizes that professional nursing practice is grounded in ethical responsibility, advocacy, and patient-centered care. The Code of Ethics for Nurses reinforces the nurses duty to respect patient autonomy and promote transparency, which aligns with initiatives such as sharing clinical information with patients and families. Additionally, the Scope and Standards of Practice and Nursings Social Policy Statement highlight the nurse leaders responsibility to coordinate care, engage families, and contribute to collaborative, evidence-based practice environments.

Shifting from task-oriented care to collaborative, patient- and family-focused practice reflects the professions ethical and social commitment to holistic care. In high-acuity settings such as the intensive care unit, integrating families into care planning supports trust, improves satisfaction, and aligns treatment decisions with patient values. Nurse leaders are instrumental in creating organizational cultures that support open communication, shared governance, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Overall, collaborative leadership and patient-centered care are not optional components of nursing practice but foundational expectations supported by professional standards and health policy frameworks.
