Rewriting Data Collection Plan

Data Collection Plan (100 points) and Discussion Board (50 points)
The assignment topic should be student clinically scholarly topic. Needs quantitative with mean and standard deviation and P-value article to back up evidence.
Purpose: To assess ability to synthesize key course concepts and the ability to design and implement a data
collection and analysis plan (Objectives 1 – 5).
Due date: Sunday of Week 5 (draft and initial discussion participation is due by Wednesday)
Submitted: Blackboard
Throughout the course, students should be thinking about their clinical scholarly projects and how key concepts
are generally or specifically related to the project. The signature assignment in this course is a draft of the
methodology chapter of the clinical scholarly project which will explain the expected data collection and
analysis. This Week 5 assignment is a PowerPoint presentation of your intended data collection and analysis
plan. The goal of the assignment is to assess students’ readiness to do the final assignment in the course and the
oral defense of the clinical scholarly project. The focus of the assignment is on developing a clear vision of (a)
what should be done in a clinical scholarly project to collect, analyze, and interpret data appropriately.
This assignment must be submitted by Sunday, the end of Week 5. Students must use the assignment template
provided in and attach a PowerPoint file. An example of the presentation format is provided here and in a
larger format in Week 5.
Students are expected to use the feedback they got from their instructor on previous assignments as they prepare
for this assignment. Students are encouraged to work with classmates, instructors, and mentors/chairs when
preparing the assignment. However, this assignment is not group work. Each student’s final presentation file
should be unique to the student and reflect his/her background, experience, expertise, integrity, and specific
doctoral project.
The assignment consists of two parts:
Part I. PowerPoint Presentation (100 Points)
The student should prepare a PowerPoint presentation (not a narrated or video presentation, presenter notes only
as needed). It should be organized in the format shown below, and follow the example carefully to include key
components and formatting. Students should choose the ONE most important quantitative outcome of the
clinical scholarly project as the topic of the Analysis Plan. Students should make sure that the audience will
understand what change in practice s/he will be evaluating, why it is an important problem, why s/he is
predicting the results s/he is predicting, and how the results will impact nursing practice if s/he achieves them.
The project will draw heavily on the project proposal developed in DNPU 706.
