[The abstract should be one paragraph of between 150 and 250 words. It is not indented. Section titles, such as the word Abstract above, are not considered headings so they don’t use bold heading format. Instead, use the Section Title style. This style automatically starts your section on a new page, so you don’t have to add page breaks. Note that all of the styles for this template are available on the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Styles gallery.]
Keywords: [Click here to add keywords.]
[Directions – a dedication provides the author with the opportunity to thank people who may have special meaning in the author’s life. For example – you may want to thank you spouse or a specific family member for their support during your doctoral education. The deduction does not need to be long but it should convey your appreciation for the contribution this or these individuals made in your life while you were a doctor of nursing practice student. The dedication is written as a part of your final DNP writing in NR709.]
[Directions – the acknowledgement page is reserved for the author to acknowledge the important role specific professional people have made toward the successful completion of the project. In the acknowledgement page, you may want to thank your professors, your preceptor, and members of your DNP committee. This is the perfect place to acknowledge the practicum site and your colleagues that supported you through the completion of your doctoral education. Again – the acknowledgement page does not need to be long, but it does need to include professionals that helped you during your education. This page is generally completed in NR709 as a part of your final writing.]
[Directions: this section will be completed as a part of your NR709 course as you write about the conclusion of your project. By this time, you will have sufficient information to develop a concise and accurate executive summary of your project.]
Purpose: The purpose of this project was …
Background and Significance: .……
Methods: ………
Findings: …….
Conclusion: ……
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
[Directions: this section is written as a part of your project proposal in NR702. However, when you enter NR709, you will need to revise the tense as your project will be completed and you will be writing from a retrospective perspective. When you review this section in NR709 – you will want to update the introduction and subsequent headings with information you learned as a part of your project implementation.]
Note there is no heading that says Introduction. The paragraph or two following the title on the first page of your text is assumed to be your introduction. Your introduction follows the title of your paper (note it is not bolded). You should start your introduction with a powerful statement or two to stimulate interest. You should identify the purpose of your paper and provide a preview of what the paper will include. Remember formal papers are in third person so no I, me, we, etc. Refer to yourself as the DNP scholar or the DNP student. The Introduction must be 1-2 paragraphs.
Problem Statement
Your introduction section should smoothly transition into your problem statement. It should flow logically from the information you provided. Include your inquiry question, which will provide direction for your work. Explain your approach to the problem and how your intervention will address it.
Objectives and Aims
Explain the aims and objectives of the project. According to O’Leary (2010), proposals have one overarching aim to capture what you hope to achieve through your project; whereas, a set of objectives, which are a set of more specific goals, supports that aim. Aims and objectives are often written in bullet points as ‘to’ statements, such as, ‘to’ develop, ‘to’ identify, ‘to’ measure, ‘to’ explain, ‘to’ compare.
Significance of the Practice Problem
The Significance of the Practice Problem section must be 2-3 pages. Start this section with identification of the practice problem. This section articulates the issue and its significance from both a global/nationwide perspective, as well as within the practicum site.
From a global/nationwide perspective, how does the issue impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, the quality of care being provided, society (costs, healthcare policy, etc.), the patient/client (e.g., pain, suffering, quality of life, impact on income potential, etc.), the family, healthcare system (e.g., impact on cost or delivery systems),. Discuss the incidence and/or prevalence and include the financial impact if at all possible. You might discuss the impact on length of stay, readmission, home health care requirements, disability and/or mortality. Also, you should address any quality, safety, legal, and ethical implications. This discussion must be substantiated by citations from professional literature.
The same thing applies in regard to the impact of the issue within the practicum site. Here you need to address how the issue impacts nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, the quality of care being provided, society (costs, healthcare policy, etc.), the patient/client (e.g., pain, suffering, quality of life, impact on income potential, etc.), the family, healthcare system (e.g., impact on cost or delivery systems). Discuss the incidence and/or prevalence and include the financial impact if at all possible. You might discuss the impact on length of stay, readmission, home health care requirements, disability and/or mortality. Also, you should address any quality, safety, legal, and ethical implications. This discussion must be substantiated by citations from professional literature.
Synthesis of the Literature
This section must be 5-10 pages long. Synthesize at least 10 (no more than 5 years old) primary research studies and/or systematic reviews; do not include summary articles. This section is all about the scientific evidence rather than someone else’s opinion of the evidence. Do not use secondary sources; you need to get the article, read it, and make your own decision about quality and applicability to your question even if you did find out about the study in a review of the literature. The studies you cite in this section must relate directly to your PICOT question. This is a synthesis where you address the similarities, differences, and controversies in the body of evidence.
Practice Recommendations
This section should be 1-2 pages long. As you consider the evidence you provided above, what is the answer to your question? This section is for you to summarize the strength of the body of evidence (quality, quantity, and consistency), make a summary statement, and based on your conclusions drawn from the review, give a recommendation for practice change based on scientific evidence. This would logically be the intervention of your PICOT question. Perhaps you found substantiation for usual practice, and you recommend reinforcement and education regarding this best practice.
Evidence Based Practice: Verification of Chosen Option
This section includes a brief statement about the evidence-based practice/s (EBP) [specific practice intervention, program intervention or evaluation, presentation and toolkit, or policy change] QI option that you have chosen and that you will be implementing based on the review of the literature.
CHAPTER 2: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
[Directions – the theoretical framework is a very important part of your DNP practice change project. You will write this in NR702 and may revise or adjust it as your project matures. When you reach NR709 – be sure you review this chapter in detail and change all tense from future to past as you make your revisions.]
Theoretical Framework
This section needs to be 1-2 pages and it should include the theoretical framework to support your project. Identify the theory that will serve as the foundation for your project. This may be a nursing theory or a theory from another discipline if pertinent and applicable. As you introduce the theory, identify its primary premises (include in-text citations when sharing content from outside sources).
In the following paragraphs operationalize each of the primary premises from your chosen theoretical framework as they apply specifically to your project. Doing this demonstrates you have not only identified a theory, but you have also been able to conceptualize its use as your project’s framework.
Change Model
Begin with a description of your selected change model and why it was selected as the model for this specific change. You should learn about the model from a primary source (i.e., do not cite a textbook). The model you select should be appropriate to the change that you are recommending (i.e., individual change or organizational change. Use the model to describe the practice change that you recommend even if that is reinforcement and education regarding the status quo. Your change process should be specific to your setting.
Step 1: Name of step. You may make each step of the model a level 2 heading (title case and flush left, as demonstrated above) and then describe how you would implement the step of the change in your selected setting. Your change process must be specific to your question and the answer that you found through your literature review and your setting. It should be a well-thought-out process using the model as a guide.
CHAPTER 3: PROJECT DESIGN AND METHODS
[Directions – the project design and methods are developed and written in NR702 as a part of your initial project proposal. However, as your project matures and is implemented, you may change some of your design or methods based on feedback you have received from your professors, preceptor, or learned colleagues. During the IRB approval process in NR705 – your PICOT question may change. In the development of your protocol for approval – you may have modified some of your design or methods. These changes will need to be updated. In NR709 as you review your project from a completion perspective, please be sure to revise your design and methods based on the changes you may have made so your project is represented accurately.]
The Plan is the ‘HOW TO’ part of your proposal. This section includes a detailed description about how you will actualize (from set-up to data collection) and complete your project. You will want to proofread this section carefully as, “our minds think much faster than we can type, and we leave out steps in the process” if we do not proof several times. Provide two-three sentences in this particular section to introduce your reader(s) to the chapter.
Organizational Need
Describe how organizational need was established. What organizational leaders (include their professional titles only) did you dialogue with? Provide a summarization of the conversation(s) you had.

Barriers and Facilitators
Here you need to consider potential barriers and/or facilitators, which could impact your proposed project’s implementation. Are the nursing staff resistant to change? Is there currently a culture inherent in the site where the use of evidence-based practice is openly used/welcomed by staff? What strategies might you use to overcome any barriers you might face? How will you capitalize upon any facilitators you have identified?
Project Schedule
Include your schedule as an Appendix in the form of a schedule or a Gantt chart. Here you should address the timeframe for the change process and the evaluation keeping in mind that this project needs to be achievable within your last two practicum courses.

Do not leave any questions left unanswered and provide your reader with key details so they will understand what you implement and what evidence there is to support it. You should have a minimum of 3 scholarly references to support your intervention in this section. Remember you are not conducting original research but taking already existing research to make a change in practice.
Comparison
The comparison should explain what is currently taking place in the practicum site, which is either contributing or causing the issue you are addressing. If there is currently nothing being used in the setting such as guidelines, etc., articulate here there is no comparison.
Outcome
Provide a full discussion in regard to the outcome(s) you will use to determine the impact of the intervention you will implement.

Implementation Plan/Procedures
The Implementation Plan is a view into the project which shows what work the project encompasses. The Plan is the ‘HOW TO’ part of your proposal. This section includes is a detailed description about how you will actualize (from set-up to data collection) and complete your project. You will want to proof read this section carefully because, “our minds think much faster than we can type, and we leave out steps in the process” if we do not proof several times (2-3 pages).
Data Collection Procedures
Identify the type of data (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval, or continuous) produced by the evaluation tool(s). Discuss how you will control extraneous variables. Discuss planned analysis of your evaluation data. Specify the statistical analyses that will be used to answer the project questions and/or test the project hypotheses. Cite literature sources for your discussion of the statistical techniques. Convince your statistician to assist in statistical methods, depending on the types of variables being investigated, specifics of the sample of the study (groups), research design, etc.
Describe all the steps of your project in narrative form, including your plan for implementation and plan for evaluation. You can use sub headers to define your approach. Include projected recruitment, steps in actualizing the intervention, data collection procedures, and evaluation. You can organize your procedures by stages or phases (pre-intervention, intervention, post intervention) of your project implementation and/or according to a timeline.
Recruitment and Selection
Discuss recruitment and selection of participants or subjects including inclusion and exclusion criteria. Discuss the quantitative project design and why it is appropriate. Discuss formative and summative criteria for evaluation and time points for the evaluation.
Data Analysis Plan
This section must be 3-5 pages in length and must include how you will evaluate the planned change project. Remember your plan must evaluate the outcome(s) identified in your PICOT question. Fully address how you plan to statistically (quantitatively) analyze the data that you will receive/collect from the measurement instruments you listed above or from other methods you will use to gather data (focus groups, individual discussions, observation, journaling, etc.). In your final work, you will describe the degree to which the results of the project helped you achieve your expected outcomes (met, partially met, and not met).
Instrumentation
Describe and include any tool(s) that are to be used in your project evaluation as Appendices and discuss the reliability and validity of the tool(s). Fully address the statistical planning, if applicable, and the methods of collection such as surveys, interviews, or document analysis.
Include a separate section for each instrument adopted or developed for data collection, whether that might be published instruments, researcher-developed instruments, interview schedules, or test results. Be sure to include information for each instrument on (a) form of the instrument, with sample items and scaling/scoring information,
Instrument Reliability and Validity

CHAPTER 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION OF DNP PROJECT
[Directions – this section is completed in NR709.]
This section provides the reader with the results of their data collection and analysis. To remind the reader why this project was important, begin the section by restating the problem that prompted your project. Present the purpose of this section, which is to interpret and present the findings from your project and relate this back to the purpose of your project. While specific results should be presented in this section, the intent of the discussion is to clearly explain how your project contributes knowledge to the practice and profession of nursing. This section is generally about seven to 10 pages long.
Summary of Methods and Procedures
This portion addresses the analytic methods that were actually used and why they were appropriate for this project. Indicate the rationale for changes or additional analyses that deviated from your approved methods in your proposal. Include in this area any special observations about the data set (e.g., only those over 65 participated when it was anticipated that the sample would include persons 55-75).
Summary of Sample and Setting Characteristics
This portion should describe in detail the setting, the target or accessible population, the number contacted, the percentage participating, and the details of who participated. For inferences, an analysis of the representativeness of your sample characteristics should be done by comparing your sample to your accessible or target population. These data are best presented in tables detailing those demographic details that are important to the study. An analysis of the demographic data is required.
Major Findings
This portion provides an interpretation of the major findings in the context of the overall purpose of the project. Discuss how your major findings provide new knowledge or support previous findings that you found in the literature. Note how these findings add to the body of knowledge on this topic and support or expand on the theoretical framework you provided in Chapter I. There should be a clear relationship between the theory that drove the project to the findings presented and analyzed. Only information related to your research question and problem statement should be presented.
CHAPTER 5: IMPLICATIONS IN PRACTICE AND CONCLUSIONS
[Directions – part of this chapter can be written as you develop your initial proposal in NR702 and talk about the practice gap and the need for your proposed practice change. However, as you enter NR709 – you will need to look closely at this chapter and provide updates and/or revisions based on the most accurate information you have learned as a result of the project implementation and completion.]
Implications for Nursing Practice
This section should report findings in Section I not reported by any other literature. Why should nursing leaders care? Meanings of any gaps or similarities to literature are critically analyzed and discussed for every unusual finding. What do the findings mean to nurse leaders, and would society care about the results?
Recommendations
Recommendations based on the findings should be for the nursing profession and society in general, and to specific nursing leaders as mentioned in the significance portion. A summary of the major findings concludes the findings and interpretations portion with a transitional paragraph introducing the recommendations portion. Recommendations should follow the same logical flow as the findings and interpretations. Include a narrative of topics that need closer examination to generate a new round of questions. Be sure to make specific recommendations for leaders in the nursing field and policy makers. Recommendations for future research should be detailed and extensive. This is a key area that students often fail to elaborate upon. What could other researchers do with the new information to find out more gaps as indicated by the new results? New doctoral learners often look in this portion for ideas on problems that remain to be solved so elaborating with detail leaves a legacy to new doctoral students to continue.
Discussion
This is where you can, and should, express your opinions regarding the results, implications, recommendations and the strengths and limitations of your project. Every study has strengths and limitations, so these should be expressly stated.
If your results are similar to those found in previous studies, you may cautiously infer the results beyond your population and setting. However, if your results are completely different and/or contradict previous studies, you should let the reader know that these results cannot be used beyond the study population and setting.
Plans for Dissemination
This section should be 1-2 pages long and include your plan for sharing the results of your project within the organization and within the professional community. Discuss who would be invited to the presentation of results at the institution and your plan for how you will present the information. Also, discuss your plans for presentation at regional or national meetings and/or publication. If publication is planned, discuss what journal you will submit your manuscript to and why.
Conclusions and Contributions to the Profession of Nursing
Conclusions should relate directly to your purpose and project question. They are generalizations that loop back to the existing literature on your topic. For each conclusion you make, cite the sources that support or contradict your findings. The conclusion should represent the contribution your practice project has made to the body of scientific knowledge on this topic and they should be related to the significance of the study, which is always, in some way, to improve nursing practice. Conclusions indicate what is now known regarding nursing practice when your results and results from prior literature are considered together.
References
Remember this is a reference list rather than a bibliography. If there is not a citation for a reference, it should not be here. PLEASE make sure your references and your citations throughout the paper are in APA format. You can go from an A paper to a B paper on APA errors alone. Take the time to make sure they are correct.
