DNP 820 Continuation of Breastfeeding for NewbornsDNP 820 Continuation of
Breastfeeding for NewbornsPICOT Question: For immediate postpartum mothers, to what
degree does implementation of maternal-newborn uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact and
latch within the first 24 hours after birth that lasted for sixty minutes or until after the first
breastfeed, compared to mother-newborn separation and without latch after birth, impact
breastfeeding initiation rate within four weeks?The purpose of this assignment is to apply
findings from evidence-based practice and research to enhance practice guidelines and
health care outcomes.While there are several tools available for evaluating practice
guidelines, the most comprehensively validated appraisal tool is the AGREE II Instrument.
This tool can be used both by individual practitioners to critically appraise health guidelines
and by decision makers to inform policy decisions. The purpose of the AGREE II Instrument
is to provide a framework for assessing the quality of guidelines, present a methodological
strategy for developing guidelines, and inform what/how information should be reported in
the guidelines.The AGREE II Instrument examines the following six domains relevant to the
practice guideline being assessed:ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE
PAPERSDomain 1: Scope and PurposeDomain 2: Stakeholder InvolvementDomain 3: Rigor
of DevelopmentDomain 4: Clarity of PresentationDomain 5: ApplicabilityDomain 6:
Editorial IndependenceIn addition to each of the six domains, the tool also includes a space
for rating the overall quality of the practice guideline to determine whether it should be
recommended for use in practice.Criteria are rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (Strongly
Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree). A rating of 1 is given when there is no information relevant
to an item, the item is poorly reported, or it is explicitly stated that the criteria is not met. A
rating between 2 and 6 is given when the item as reported does not fully meet the criteria. A
rating of 7 is given when the quality of reporting is excellent, and the full criteria have been
met. Further rating explanations can be found in the User’s Manual section of the AGREE II
Instrument resource.For this assignment, choose an evidence-based practice guideline
relevant to your DPI project or chosen area of study. Refer to the “Evidence-Based
Guidelines” study material for websites where a specific guideline can be identified for the
purposes of this assignment or select a guideline of your own choosing.Website
