The prof wants the following.
Your paper is strong, but to fully meet the requirements you need to add a few specific details in the main paper: clearly state the study design (for example, add a sentence like This project is an evidence-based practice project using a quasi-experimental design to evaluate early ambulation outcomes), specify the sample and setting (for example, The project will be conducted in an adult ICU in a tertiary hospital with approximately 3050 elderly postoperative patients), explain how each outcome will be measured (for example, ICU length of stay will be measured in number of days from admission to discharge, delirium will be assessed using a standardized tool such as CAM-ICU, and functional independence will be evaluated based on the patients ability to perform mobility tasks like sitting, standing, and walking with minimal assistance), and include a brief data analysis plan (for example, Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparison of outcomes between early and delayed ambulation groups). You dont need to rewrite your workjust insert these clear, specific details.
You did include the ideas, but the issue is how clearly and explicitly they are writtenthats what will be graded .
Heres the difference:
- You described the population but didnt clearly say
This project will include approximately X patients in [specific ICU setting] - You mentioned outcomes but didnt clearly say
how they will be measured
(e.g., ICU length of stay will be measured in days, delirium assessed using CAM-ICU) - You explained the intervention well but didnt clearly label
This is a quasi-experimental / EBP project design - You talked about evaluation indirectly but didnt clearly state
Data will be analyzed using
So youre not missing understandingyoure missing explicit wording.
Professors using that table are literally checking:
Did the student clearly state this section?
If its not directly written in a clear sentence, they often mark it as missingeven if its implied.
