Project Description
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Write this the same, without question putting it like this, (with
the data of us..)
This project will be completed through a literature review. This
will be carried out through Google Scholar, CINHAL, Ana G.

3. Mendez Virtual Libraries, WorldCat, PubMed, Internet
database. The research will be peer reviewed. A minimum 30
articles of no more than 5 years will be reviewed. I will use
some keywords for my search like: Probiotic, Ventilator-
Associated Pneumonia, ICU, conventional methods.
The results obtained from the study will contribute to determine
if the probiotic use in prevention of ventilator associated
pneumonia is more effective than the conventional method, with
a more cost-effective result.
All information collected in this review will be kept in a locked
dresser in the principal investigator's office for a period of 5
years. Both, the principal investigator and the mentor will have
access to this material. After this time (5 years), the data will be
eliminated with a paper shredder and discarded.

Plans for Dissemination
Everything that is in blue, can not miss, with our data, but the

4. same...
To achieve the purpose of making our research known, different
types of media will be used. In the same way interpersonal
communication will be of vital importance to disseminate this
project. Also, other forms of dissemination will be used as: a
power point and poster will be presented at the Ana G Mendez
University. The power point will have a duration of no more
than 30 minutes and will be presented to the teacher and
classmates. While the poster, which will include a summary of
this research, will be shown in the Ana G Mendez University
room of the South Florida campus. In the library of this
university we will leave a copy of this literature review to be
used by those who are interested in the subject.
Summary and Conclusion
The conclusion should start with a statement regarding the
intent of the paper and your achievement toward that intention.
Also, it should briefly say what was included in the paper.
Remember that the introduction is a preview, and this section
should contain a summary.
References
Remember that this is a reference list rather than a
bibliography. A bibliography is everything you read to prepare
the paper but a reference list is only what you cited. If there is
not a citation for a reference, it should not be here. PLEASE
make sure that your references here and your citations
throughout the paper are in APA format. Take the time to make
sure that they are correct. We have already formatted the paper
for you with this template.

Note that there is no heading that says Introduction. The
paragraph or two that follows the title on the first page of your
text is assumed to be your introduction. Your introduction
follows the title of your paper (note that the title 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

10. include. Remember that formal papers are in third person, so no
I, me, we except in specified areas.
Significance of the Practice Problem
Start this section with identification of the practice problem.
This section should also answer the question “why is this
important?” You should address the significance to 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), and society (e.g., cost of
care, need for healthcare policy). 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.
Research Question
This section should include your PICOT question but also
should provide thorough descriptions of your population,
intervention, comparison intervention, outcome, and timing (if
appropriate to your question). This section contains, in essence,
your operational definitions of the variables in the question. If
you use definitions from the literature, be sure to cite them.
Include objectives (general and specifics).
Theoretical Framework
This section should include the theoretical framework that
supports your proposal. Describe the theory or model that
served as the foundation for your project. This may be a nursing
theory or a theory from another discipline if pertinent and
applicable.
Synthesis of the Literature
Synthesize at least 10 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

11. about quality and applicability to your question even if you did
find out about the study in a review of the literature. The
studies that you cite in this section must relate directly to your
PICOT question. This is a synthesis rather than a study-by-
study review. Address the similarities, differences, and
controversies in the body of evidence. The literature review
should include the following: 1.Objective of the literature
review; 2.Overview of the subject under consideration;
3.Particular position, those opposed, and those offering
completely different arguments; 4.Discussion of both the
distinctiveness of each source and its similarities with the
others.
Practice Recommendations
So. . . using available evidence, 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.
Project Setting
This section should include a description of the setting of the
Project. Include the type of setting, description of a typical
client, and the vision and mission, and organizational structure
and culture. Describe how organizational need was established.
Identify the stakeholders. Describe how organizational support
was confirmed and plans for sustainability.
Project Description: methodology
This section should begin with a description of your 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 that you selected
should be appropriate to the change that you recommended (i.e.,
individual change or organizational change). Use the model to

12. describe the practice change that you recommended even if that
is reinforcement and education regarding the status quo. Your
change process should be specific to your setting. You can make
each step of the model a level 2 heading (title case and flush
left) and then describe how you implemented that 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. Describe the
setting for your project. Include discussion of barriers and
facilitators. Discuss your role in the project and the leadership
qualities and skills that were utilized for successful completion
of the project. Methodology includes:
· Describe the design
· Identify the variable
· Describe the reliability and validity of the instrument
· Describe the population and the sample.
· Describe the steps to protect the rights of human according to
IRB criteria.
· Discuss the procedure to complete the study.
This section may be in first person.
Project Evaluation Results
This section must include how you are going to evaluate the
planned change project. Remember that your plan must evaluate
the outcome(s) identified in your PICOT question. Discuss
recruitment and selection of participants or subjects including
inclusion and exclusion criteria. Discuss the evaluation design
and whether you will use primary or secondary data for the
comparison group. Discuss formative and summative criteria for
evaluation and time points for the evaluation. 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). 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. Discuss how you will protect human

13. rights and ensure privacy of health information.
This section may be in first person.
Discussion and Implications for Nursing and Healthcare
Discuss the conclusions you can make from the project
evaluation results: review and answer your PICOT question.
Examine, interpret, and qualify the results. Discuss internal
validity and limitations of the project evaluation. Take into
account sources of potential bias and other threats to internal
validity, the imprecision of measures, and other limitations and
weaknesses of the evaluation (adapted from APA, 2010, p. 35).
Describe the implications of your project and the project
evaluation on nursing practice and healthcare. Do not overstate
the significance. Identify the impact on the appropriate
microsystem. Include any recommendations you have as a result
of this project and project evaluation. Also, include what you
might recommend with replication of this project and project
evaluation and your potential next steps for this practice
problem.
Summary and Conclusion
The conclusion should start with a statement regarding the
intent of the paper and your achievement toward that intention.
Also, it should briefly say what was included in the paper.
Remember that the introduction is a preview, and this section
should contain a summary.
References
Remember that this is a reference list rather than a
bibliography. A bibliography is everything you read to prepare
the paper but a reference list is only what you cited. If there is
not a citation for a reference, it should not be here. PLEASE
make sure that your references here and your citations
throughout the paper are in APA format. Take the time to make
