    Applying Current Literature To Clinical Practice Week 3

    Students will:

    · Evaluate the application of current literature to clinical practice

    To prepare:

    · Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on group work and group therapy.

    · Select one of the articles from the Learning Resources to evaluate for this Assignment.

    Note: In nursing practice, it is not uncommon to review current literature and share findings with your colleagues. Approach this Assignment as though you were presenting the information to your colleagues.

    The Assignment

    In a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation, address the following:

    · Provide an overview of the article you selected, including answers to the following questions. ( see Articles Below)

    o What type of group was discussed?

    o Who were the participants in the group? Why were they selected?

    o What was the setting of the group?

    o How often did the group meet?

    o What was the duration of the group therapy?

    o What curative factors might be important for this group and why?

    o What “exclusion criteria” did the authors mention?

    · Explain the findings/outcomes of the study in the article. Include whether this will translate into practice with your own client groups. If so, how? If not, why?

    · Explain whether the limitations of the study might impact your ability to use the findings/outcomes presented in the article.

    Note: The presentation should be 5–10 slides, not including the title and reference slides. Include presenter notes (no more than a half page per slide) and use tables and/or diagrams where appropriate. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from the article you selected. Support your presentation with evidence-based literature.

    You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

    Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

    Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

    The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
