Describe the setting using descriptive which convey the setting i.e. suburban, rural, inner city or urban, southeast United States, name of county or state. Explain that a letter of support will be obtained from the clinic or unit to conduct the EBP project (a letters of support/permission from site or unit is required for IRB approval).

Methods – Research Protocol

Describe step by step the intended procedure for the EBP project.  Include:

  • How to identify participants, obtain consent, and collect data
  • If a   measurement tool such as a questionnaire or survey is used, describe the tools, including reliability and validity and include a copy of the tools in Appendix
  • If Survey Monkey is used, describe how
  • If there is an intervention, describe it in detail
  • Briefly state the time frame for implementing the EBP project, maximum of eight weeks
  • IRB approval will be obtained by Keiser University prior to commencement of EBP project
  • If required by the facility, IRB approval will be obtained from the facility wherein the project will be conducted

Methods – Data Analysis

Describe the plan to analyze data i.e. use of SPSS, latest version.  State what statistical tests will you use such as t-tests etc. If a qualitative, state of a qualitative data analysis program will be used or describe means to analyze data to code and crate themes.

Timeline

Write a sentence format how long it will take to conduct the project. In addition, provide timeline benchmarks, for example:

  • Week 1                Prepare forms and tools, explain EBP project, consent forms
  • Weeks 2- 7         Collect data or provide educational series or other
  • Weeks 7 – 8        Analyze data, evaluate findings, and report
