What This Document Is
This is a form – the C-EBP Process Form 1 – for NUR 3165 Nursing Research students at Miami Dade College. It’s designed as a structured assignment to guide students through the initial stages of an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) change process, specifically utilizing the ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation. The document focuses on identifying a nursing practice issue and formulating a preliminary plan for addressing it.
Why This Document Matters
This form is crucial for nursing students undertaking projects aimed at improving patient care through research and evidence. It’s used in Week 6 of the course to apply theoretical knowledge to a real-world clinical problem. Successful completion of this form is a key step in developing a comprehensive EBP project.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a starting point; it does *not* provide a complete EBP project. It focuses solely on the “Discovery” and “Summary” star points of the ACE Star Model. Students will need further research, analysis, and implementation planning beyond this initial form.
What This Document Provides
The form includes:
* Guidance on identifying a nursing practice issue (using CAUTI as an example).
* A space to articulate the rationale for topic selection and define the scope of the problem.

* Example systematic review citations.
This preview *does not* include completed responses for a student’s chosen topic, nor does it provide the full systematic review articles. It only shows the form’s structure and example content.
