My PDSA project is about educating new nurses on how importance it is for surgical patients to ambulate on post op day 1. Teaching new nurses how to prepare there patients before surgery and how to encourge there patients to walk after surgery. Observing what barriers the new nurses had with this task and how they overcame them and did this intervention help prevent post op complications.
PART 1
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to document the plan for the proposed PDSA Project. Students will first meet with the instructor to discuss the project and upon receiving approval, submit the PDSA Part 1 assignment.
Instructions:
1. Use the PDSA Template for this assignment! Do not modify the template or try to submit this assignment as an APA paper! You may alter the format of your answers to make the document look professional, but do not add or subtract from the template.
2. Complete the PDSA Part 1 section of the template. Read the directions for the template and for Part 1 carefully!
3. Please provide complete sentences where any explanation of processes, questions, theories, etc. is required. Otherwise, you may use bulleted lists and short-answers for other fields.
4. Submit the Assignment by the due date. Please make sure the document formatting is neat and professional. Avoid first person for this assignment.
PART 2
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to give students practice writing a literature review. The literature review is an important step to any project in order to prove that what we are doing has a solid foundation in the evidence, and if it doesn’t, to illustrate the importance of studying the concept.
Instructions: This assignment is to be written as an APA formatted paper, 4 pages min – 5 pages max (excluding title and references).
1. Find at least 7 articles that pertain to your project problem, topic, and theory. (It is not necessary that each study you find uses the same exact theory you have chosen)
2. Write your APA paper as a thematic literature review – NOT as an annotated bibliography (see resources posted to the module and given below)
-Your paper should not address each article individually. Rather, pull information out from each source using themes that weave together to explain the identified problem.
-Your paper should contain the following sections:
Introduction and thesis. Provide a solid introduction to the paper to introduce the topic and the proposed project. Conclude the intro with a thesis/purpose statement that identifies the purpose of the paper (e.g. This paper will discuss the theoretical framework of the proposed project, provide a thematic summary of the literature, discuss the attributes of the available evidence and the implications of the proposed project for nursing practice.)
Theoretical Framework. Discuss the theory chosen for the project and describe how it relates to or frames the project. (You may use information from your PDSA Part 1.)
2-3 sections that discuss the themes of each of the articles (use level 1/ topic headings for each theme). This should not be an annotated bibiliography (see below)!
Discussion. Explain the strengths and weaknesses of the literature that was found and identify any gaps in the literature.
Implications. Describe how the research (or lack thereof) relates to the project and explain the importance of the project for nursing practice.
Conclusion. Provide a solid concluding paragraph for the paper.
3. Submit your paper by the assigned due date. Upload each of the articles used in the comments section for the assignment.
4. A literature review should not contain any references to the researcher/student, whether in the first, second, or third person. This kind of paper ONLY talks about the information and that is it!
PART 3
Purpose: Use the PDSA Template from Assignment 1/PDSA Part 1 to complete PDSA Part 3.
Objectives:
1. Using IHI format, describe steps of the PDSA project.
2. Implement changes identified in the first cycle of the PDSA and document rationale for the changes.

2. Report on the findings from your cycles based on the PDSA template Part 3.
3. Make corrections on anything from Part 1 noted in your feedback. Underline or highlight the corrections made.
PART 4
Purpose/Objective:
