Assignment: Application 5: Disseminating the EBP Assignment
Disseminating EBP Assignments
Many factors influence how successfully an EBP Assignment is implemented and evaluated. As noted in this week’s Learning Resources, using a translation framework can facilitate effective implementation and the evaluation of outcomes.
For this assignment you will prepare a scholarly product that reports the results and implications of your project to designed audience. The scholarly product for dissemination reports the results and implications of your project to a specified audience. Your scholarly product may be in the form of a project summary and evaluation report, poster presentation, program evaluation report, or a media or technology-based deliverable.
To prepare for this week’s section of Application 5:
- Reflect on the definitions and criteria for scholarship presented in the Learning Resources and in your weekly discussions.
- Consider AACN’s definition of scholarship and their vision of the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in furthering nursing scholarship.
The full Application 5 is due by Day 7 of this week. Instructions for how to prepare for previous sections of this Application have been provided in Weeks 9 and 10

NURS 8410 Week 11: Dissemination, Part I
One of the chief purposes of translating evidence into practice is to advance the field of nursing. Dissemination is a critical step in this process.
It is important to disseminate and share the information gained from a translation-of-evidence project to enhance the body of knowledge within the profession, thus furthering the science of nursing. Yet how does one prepare to disseminate research findings? What is required to engage in this form of scholarship?
This week, you assess the role of dissemination in scholarship. You also complete your practicum experience and submit your time log and final journal entry.
