Course Project: Part 3—Translating Evidence Into Practice In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing practice. Now that you have located available research on your PICOT question, you will examine what the research indicates about nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about. This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes. In addition, you will also consider possible methods and strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
1. Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the research address your PICOT question? 2. With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes. 3. Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-based practice that you identified. 4. Consider how you would disseminate information about this evidence-based practice throughout your organization or practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of the practice?
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
1. Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing practice. 2. Summarize the findings from the articles you selected for your literature review. Describe at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in the articles. Justify your response with specific references to at least 2 of the articles. 3. Explain how the evidence-based practice that you identified contributes to better outcomes. In addition, identify potential negative outcomes that could result from failing to use the evidence-based practice. 4. Outline the strategy for disseminating the evidence-based practice that you identified throughout your practice setting. Explain how you would communicate the importance of the practice to your colleagues. Describe how you would move from disseminating the information to implementing the evidence-based practice within your organization. How would you address concerns and opposition to the change in practice?

The use and abuse of psychoactive substances is documented frequently in American popular culture—in movies, music, books, TV shows, podcasts, TV commercials, etc. Some of these portrayals glorify the use of psychoactive substances while others portray the use of drugs in a negative light. Additionally, drug users and drug sellers can be portrayed in a positive or negative light. Moreover, negative racial and ethnic stereotypes as well as stereotypes about drugs users/sellers are frequently used in these portrayals. The purpose of this paper is to describe the portrayal of drug use in popular culture and to assess whether research supports (or refutes) a connection between media portrayals of drug use and the use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs among children, adolescents or young adults. Thus, you will need to find one research article that supports (or refutes) this connection.

Instructor`s Instructions:
For this paper, choose a song (or CD), movie, book, TV show, podcast, or commercial (or commercials), etc. that includes references to the use or sale of drugs. In this paper you will need to address the following:

1) Describe the media portrayal in enough detail so that I understand what it is you are describing. In this description, comment on whether you believe the use (or sale) of drugs is being glorified or repudiated. Be sure to think about and comment on the cultural context of the portrayal. Describe whether this portrayal is steeped in cultural or racial stereotypes and how this affects our society in general. (1 page)

2) Describe the research articles you found (i.e., the purpose of the study, how the study was conducted, and the study results). (1/2 to 1 page)

3) Discuss whether you believe this article presents good evidence linking (or refuting) an association between media portrayals of drug use and the use of alcohol, tobacco and/or other drugs by young people in the U.S. Is the evidence compelling or is it weak? Why or why not? (1 page)

4) Discuss whether you believe the government (Federal, State or Local) should enact stricter policies limiting exposure to media portrayals of ATOD use/abuse to young people in this country. Why or why not? (1/2 to 1 page)
