Find an article from a peer-reviewed nursing journal in which a practise change was implemented based on research, preferably one that is relevant to your area of practise or organisation. It is important to note that you are looking for an evidence-based article that describes a change in practise that was based on research; this is all about applying research, not doing research. As a result, you’re not looking for a research article, but rather one that uses research evidence to effect change.

Describe the change and comment on the strength of the research evidence used as well as whether the change resulted in better patient outcomes.
Take note of any change barriers that were identified, as well as how they were overcome.Finish your discussion by reflecting on how this article will help you in your role as an advanced practise nurse leading others to use the best evidence to strengthen nursing practise and improve nursing-sensitive patient outcomes.
