Early recognition of Delirium
Describe importance of early recognition, management of delirium improving the quality of care for patients 65 or above in acute settings through educational interventions and training programmes.
Learning Outcomes
Critically examine the service user experience to establish potential for improvement in a defined aspect of care/professional practice.
Interpret and Critic information in variety of sources, drawing conclusions to purpose a flexible and creative approach to problem solving.
Demonstrate application of understanding of changing and management in proposing environments to care/delivery.
Demonstrate the capacity of for Conceptual, Critical, and independent thinking.
Literature Review approx. 2000 words.
This section needs to split up into 3 sections:
Search Strategy
Critiquing Tools/ Framework (CASP)
Issues /focusses raised by the literature
Search Strategy: consider the rationale for these and the strengths/limitations
• Include a search table in the appendices identifying how the literature/research was found
Critiquing Tools/ Framework
Provide a rationale for using a critiquing tool/framework the CASP Critiquing Tool
• All the papers need to be critiqued in the essay in terms of their findings, but you will need to include an example of one of the research papers being reviewed with
the CASP Critiquing Tool -appendix -2 see below Brooke, J. and Manneh, C., 2018. Caring for a patient with delirium in an acute hospital: The lived experience of cardiology, elderly care, renal, and respiratory nurses. International Journal of Nursing Practice, [e-journal] 24(4), e12643. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijn.12643.
Issues /focusses raised by the literature
Discussion on the research methods used by the key pieces of research found during the search
• Qualitative/Quantitative/Mixed Methods
• Sample Size
• Data collection methods – interviews/focus groups/questionnaires
• Use at least 5 (the UK) research papers on your topic to complete this section, which I have provided.
• Explore the findings of the papers and build a discussion showing the issues within the topic area
• Link in other pieces of literature and evidence – policies, websites, books, guidelines, articles.
Top Tips for this section:
• The literature review needs to identify the challenges regarding your topic area so you can identify what is needed to try and improve the concern
• The skills that you will show and demonstrate in this section will relate to the following learning outcomes:
• Learning Outcome 1
• Learning Outcome 2
• Learning Outcome 4
Change Management, applying the Service Improvement Plan approx. 2000 words.
To develop the structure and viable service improvement plan there needs to be implementation of a suitable change theory (Kurt Lewin).
Action plan needs to be discussed in this section
-Identify a suitable change theory and provide a rationale for its selection, why this one?
• Discuss the chosen change theory model and explore the strengths and limitations of the theory
• Embed your service improvement plan into the different stages of the change theory
• Recognise and explore the challenges with implementing change – utilise other literature and evidence to deepen this discussion
• Identify potential ways to overcome challenges and barriers to change
• Leadership – choose for example , transformational leaderships styles
• Communication
• Multi-disciplinary team working
• Consider the resources needed to implement the change is it just leadership, communication, and multi-disciplinary working?
• This section must consider the service user – how are they involved in the change? How will they benefit?
• Consider how you will know that the change has taken place and is embedded
Recommendation
Identify recommendations for future practice based on your findings and ideas
