Topic background:

Pressure injuries can develop during hospital admission if risks to patients are not addressed. A pressure injury is a painful wound, usually on an area such as sacrum, hips or heels. These wounds affect patients comfort and quality of life, prolong hospital stays and increase cost of care. Pressure injuries can be prevented with regular assessment and interventions by nursing staff (Australian Commission for Quality and Safety in Healthcare, 2020).

Task Description:

Using the skills of database searching, writing evidence summaries and synthesising main points, that you learnt in AT1 and AT2; find three (3) peer-reviewed research studies to answer the question: “What evidence-based interventions are effective in reducing the likelihood of a pressure injury developing during hospitalisation?”

Instructions for this assessment task:

PART 1 (650 words)

1. Review feedback from AT1.
2. Using the skills you developed in seminars and AT1 develop a search strategy to locate research studies relevant to the assignment question. Closely consider the feedback you received for this part of AT1.

• Conduct a search of the literature by applying your search strategy to relevant databases.
• Choose three (3) peer-reviewed research studies that answer the assignment question (papers chosen must be published within 10 years (2013-2023)).
• Consider the feedback you received in AT1 and address areas of summarising that may need improvement.
• Summarise the main points of the identified studies including the purpose/aim of the study, research design, methods, and key findings into three (3) evidence summaries (approximately 200 words for each summary).
• Please include screen shots of the three (3) abstracts from your papers.

PART 2 (1350 words)

1. Use the detail from the three (3) evidence summaries from Part 1 to find common themes within the research.
2. Draw together the information from these evidence summaries to develop a synthesis of the relevant information to answer the research question.
3. Consider the feedback you received in AT2 and address areas of synthesising that may need improvement.
4. To show your understanding of the research studies you will need to compare differences and similarities in points such as the research designs, research methods, data collection strategies, sampling and key findings.
5. You must paraphrase using your own words where possible.
6. Please use in-text citations and provide a reference list at the end of the essay using APA7 referencing style.
