[Solved] EBP Model ePoster

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

### Assignment Overview:

Here is a **step-by-step instructions guide** for creating an **Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) ePoster** using the (c) 2025 Johns Hopkins EBP Model. This guide helps you organize and present your EBP project in a professional poster format for dissemination. Each section corresponds to a part of the poster and aligns with the Johns Hopkins EBP model and publication standards.

#### **Instructions:**

1. See attached all the forms/appendices required. Use the information gathered to create their EBP Model ePoster.
1. Download MDC's Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) attached to place on your Evidence-Based Model ePoster.
2. Then, use each form/appendix to complete each section listed below for the EBP ePoster.
3. Please review the following example (i.e., Allan et al., n.d.) of a John Hopkins EBP poster before starting your work.  Your poster should look similar to the Power Point example attached.

#### **Discussion**

Use content from **Appendix H**.

– **Synthesis of Evidence**: Summarize overall findings, strengths, and quality of evidence, and recommendations.
– **Limitations**: Discuss limitations of both the literature and your review process.
– **Conclusions**: Restate the problem and summarize how the project addressed the EBP question.

#### **Implications for Practice**

Use content from **Appendices C & I**.

– **Translation Strategies**: Describe recommendations and action plans tailored to your organization.
– **Outcomes**: Identify measures used to evaluate success. If implemented, report results.

#### **Overall Poster Design, APA Format, and Spelling/Grammar**

Provides a clear rationale, summarizes available knowledge comprehensively (local, national, global), and states EBP question in correct PICO format.

Thoroughly describes sources, search methods, keywords, screening process, appraisal process, and synthesis/translation steps. All elements are detailed and logically organized.

Clearly reports study selection with accurate counts and flow diagram. Provides detailed study characteristics and findings using tables/charts for clarity.

Synthesizes evidence comprehensively, addresses limitations thoughtfully, and provides clear conclusions linked to the EBP question.

Translation strategies and outcomes are well-defined, feasible, and tailored to the organization. Includes measures for success and implementation results if applicable.

Poster is visually appealing, well-organized, and easy to follow. APA 7th edition formatting is correct throughout. No spelling or grammar errors.
