NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
Revision:
Thank you so much for your continuous support. I really appreciate you.
FYI: Just to remind you to take your time to complete the IRB worksheet especially knowing that it was not assigned to until recently. This a major assignment that would be reviewed not only by my instructor but also other faculty to determine if I have a strong project and make a decision whether I can continue with the project so please take your time up to Saturday if you need to
The project evaluation paper is also a major paper and I have to incorporate all the feedback from previous assignments. Please see below for revision NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
Please rephrase intervention by including the location where the intervention would take place, for example.
The project intervention is to provide an organized educational program for clinic staff at a local pediatric clinic to enhance their competencies in the detection and early treatment of adolescent depressive disorder, using the PHQ-9 screening tool.
Please include duration of intervention and summary of every week intervention, for example
The project implementation will span 10 weeks, first 5 weeks will involve the recruitment of participants. Baseline data collection, followed by pre-tests and the initial educational presentation. one-on-one educational sessions, the following 3 weeks will involve monitoring progress and gathering feedback. Post-test assessments, Last 2 weeks will involve data collection, data entry, and data analysis.
This question is more about the intervention, so please include brief content of education such as the use of the PHQ-9 screening tool and the symptoms of depression seen in adolescent patients., material that will be used (Flyers, PowerPoints, small groups PowerPoint presentation lasting one-hour, individual session lasting between 45-1 hr. Please get some info below from previous assignment submitted. For the individual session please clarify that it will be available for participants who were not able to attend the small group PowerPoint presentation however it would be the same educational content that would be provided to them as well, the instructor questions the individual session last time so please let us explain in details this time.
Please see below some info from previous assignment.
use of other instructional resources like a PowerPoint presentation in order to foster effective learning targets of large groups into smaller groups. Therefore, the participants will be divided into smaller groups for interactive learning. The learning process will also include role-play scenarios related to adolescent depression screening and management. Participants will also be given opportunities to practice hands-on skills using the various depression screening tools and interpret the results to participants. NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
During these sessions, the project stakeholders will issue additional resources, such as question-and-answer booklets, to provide additional information and allow clinicians to seek further information or clarification for areas that will effectively achieve the learning goals. Furthermore, the educational implementation plan will involve one-on-one activities through face-to-face sessions or Zoom sessions for 30-45 minutes per individual. After the session, the participants will be given case study scenarios related to adolescent depression analysis. Professionals will be given opportunities to discuss different screening tools, diagnostic tools, treatment options, and stigma related to mental health issues. A post-test session will be issued to determine knowledge change and achieve the desired outcomes.
In previous assignment, instructor has rephrased my outcomes please see below
The final chosen outcomes for the project are (1) the number of completed PHQ-9 screenings during adolescent wellness visits to help evaluate the consistency of depression screening practices among clinic staff (Coats & Zurmehly, 2023); (2) the number of adolescents who screened positive for depression and received further referrals or management for appropriate follow-up care; and (3) the level of provider knowledge on adolescent depression and the use of the PHQ-9 screening tool, measured through pre-test and post-test assessments. NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
Please rephrase sentence below by removing accurately. Please see above for first outcome. It is no longer correctly completed phq9, it is phq-9 completed we are measuring.
For the primary outcome of the rate of completed and accurately filled out PHQ-9 in adolescent wellness visits, information will be gathered through chart review by the office manager who will make a report of de-identified information from the EHR indicating the completion rate of the PHQ-9 forms.
Please add that: the project manager will provide the office manager with a weekly data log. Information recorded will include the number of completed PHQ-9s done during wellness visits and the total number of wellness visits for adolescents per week.
In previous assignment feedback from instructor about the pre/posttest is that: the pre/posttest should be reviewed by 2-3 content matter experts for appropriateness. So please in the sentence below rephrase by adding it will be reviewed by 2-3 content matter experts instead of only my mentor. NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
These self-administered surveys, approved by a mentor (Psychiatrist), will employ multiple-choice questions and Likert scale questions aimed at evaluating the general knowledge enhancement and the readiness confidence level experienced by the healthcare providers before and after the educational intervention (Coats & Zurmehly, 2023).
After data is obtained for each outcome, the data will be transcribed and recorded in a password-protected Excel sheet resident on the clinic’s secured server.
In this sentence above, please change. Data will be secured in my personal computer with secured password. Only Project manager will have access. Anywhere you put office manager will have access or it will be in clinic cabinet or clinic computer please change. See areas in bold
Pretest/posttest, demographic survey will be place in an envelope and deposit in a designated area will be collected by project manager at the end.
After data is obtained for each outcome, the data will be transcribed and recorded in a password-protected Excel sheet resident on the clinic’s secured server. The survey with the questions and the demographic questionnaires will be paper-based and the project manager will manually input this data into the spreadsheet and also undertake the task of transcribing the answers accurately. As for de-identified reports, the office manager will produce these reports from the EHR; these de-identified reports will be saved in the same secure digital format as the reports of patients. The files will only be accessible to the project manager and the office manager to ensure that the data contained in the two is protected and preserved. The paper-based data collection equipment that will be used will be kept in a locked cabinet within the clinic, reachable only by the manager of the project. Any digital and physical documentation will be managed according to the HIPAA regulations, the clinic’s policies, and ethical norms on the handling of patient material to avoid compromising the confidentiality of the participants during the study period Tariq and Hackert (2023). No sure about this last sentence I made bold, it sounds as if I will be collecting data myself or will have data that will have patient info. We can still use it to emphasize why the office manager will be the ones providing de-identified data. NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
6-For each outcome data set, describe what calculations, estimations, or statistical analyses you will complete to determine if the outcome measurement indicates project effectiveness.
Feedback from instructor
It is important to collect data anonymously so there should be no names required on the surveys. Participants need to know that only aggregate data will be reported.
Additionally, your data is best presented using tables (no graphs or pie charts).
Based on instructor feedback for data collection which is in question 5, please insert that data will be collected anonymously so there would be no names required on the surveys. Participants will be made aware that only aggregate data will be reported.
7-Once your data is analyzed and measurement is completed, what are some potential ways you can display the results to your stakeholders?
I like the idea of pie chart and graph but she suggested I should use table, no graph or pie chart, can we change that in the following sentences
Descriptive statistics like bar graphs and pie charts will be employed to display the rates of completed PHQ-9 screening and referral to mental health services as well as changes in providers’ knowledge levels. In this sense, the post-intervention infographics will serve as a more creative way of describing the outcome of the intervention and presenting the data in a form that will be easier to comprehend (Ravaghi et al., 2023). NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
8-What demographic data do you plan to collect? If you are not able to collect demographic data to describe your participant group, please explain.
The feedback I got from the instructor last time is that if I am not going to use demographic data, I should not collect it. Based on my research, we can still collect demographic data by justifying that it is collected to ensure participant meets the inclusion criteria or to determine whether the individuals’ characteristics are representative of the target population. If you can find a source to support that would be great. For the inclusion criteria in the past, we have said anyone involve in direct care with patient and who can understand, speak and write English. Therefore, Demographic data that would be collected will be: Participant’s role at the clinic, year of experience working with pediatric population, and level of education.
The quantitative demographic variables that will be assessed include gender, age, years of experience, and clinic specialty of the participants. The information will be obtained through questionnaires that will be developed in paper format, which will be completed before the beginning of the educational intervention as a part of the project. Some of the questions included in the demographic survey will be multiple-choice questions with boxes for short answers tailored to elicit the above-mentioned variables without compromising the respondents’ anonymity. Gathering this demographic information will make it possible to assess the impact of the intervention on various subgroups of the clinic personnel and determine whether the increase in satisfaction levels is experienced to the same extent by people with similar characteristics. These findings will assist in identifying the range of effects of the intervention and the specific requirements of facility staff when designing successive educational activities related to mental health. NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
9-How will the demographic be collected, stored, and analyzed?
For this section, just multiple-choice question. If you check the demographic survey I have attached to the IRB worksheet, year of experience has also multiple choices. (FYI you can change the survey in the other assignment since we will no longer use gender, age). Demographic will be placed in an envelope and will no be lock at the clinic. I don’t work at the clinic. Please see above for what I said earlier for data collections for outcomes. (clinic computer will not be used) Also considering the reason why demographic data is being collected, and revise area in bold. Also change that it would be presented in table per instructor suggestion.
Pre-intervention data will be collected with the aid of a self-completion demographic questionnaire which will be completed by the participants in written form at the initial stage of the project. The questionnaire will consist of several closed questions in the form of multiple-choice and several open-ended questions for assessing some demographic variables such as gender, age, number of years of professional experience, and the areas of specialization of the clinic. After the questionnaires are completed, the filled-in forms will be placed in a locked cabinet in the clinic to preserve the participants’ privacy and anonymity. The demographic data will be keyed in by the project manager to a password-protected Excel database inserted on the clinic’s computer server. For the quantitative data in this digital dataset, descriptive statistics will be used to deduce the central tendency and dispersion of the participants’ characteristics. The summaries of the demographic questions will be presented in the form of pie charts and bar graphs as a means of presenting a clear and simple overall picture of the participant group (Kaliyadan & Kulkarni, 2019). The approach will allow for a more detailed breakdown of the participant characteristics and create finer-grained considerations as to how the various demographics may affect the success of the intervention. NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
10-What are some potential ways the demographic can be displayed to your stakeholders?
Again, learning that I don’t have to use demographic data and finding that it can be used to ensure it is the right target population is changing a whole lot of things in these questions. Please revise below considering the purpose of the demographic survey and update the demographic data that would be collected.
Information gathered during the study will be presented to the stakeholders in various formats so that the participant group can be described in the best way possible. Pie charts and bar graphs will be used to indicate the participant’s gender, age, years of experience, and the clinic they work for to give an easily understood illustration. To demonstrate how population features affect results, tables will be incorporated to provide specific data and percentages for subcategories. It is possible to use these visual elements in conjunction with the brief descriptions presented as additional text to inform the audience about demographics in a more engaging and straightforward manner (Schifferstein et al., 2021). In addition, PowerPoint slides will be made for the stakeholder meetings where these charts and tables will be included together with the relevant insights, which will be generated out of the demographic analysis. The approach makes it easier for stakeholders to understand the characteristics and composition of the participant pool, providing insight into the environment in which the intervention took place and how it might have influenced subsequent project development decisions. The executive summary or one-page brief that will be created will include the basic demographic data that might be useful for the improvement of the project results, along with their significance.

11-For each data collection tool/instrument/survey described previously, please share where it came from (public domain, purchased, self-developed), survey format, how many items/questions, reliability, and validity estimates, if there was a fee, permission or training needed, and how the tool will be administered.
As mention above the project manager will be given a weekly data log that would have # of PHQ-9 completed on adolescent patients and # of wellness visits for adolescent patients/week. So please update, also as mention above, instructor stated It should be reviewed by 2-3 content matter experts for appropriateness. Please update. There are other in bold but already mention above. So please update NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
The data collection tools for this project include a self-developed pre-test and post-test survey, a paper-based demographic questionnaire, and de-identified reports generated from the clinic’s EHR system. The pre-test and post-test survey, which will measure provider knowledge on adolescent depression and the use of the PHQ-9 screening tool, will be validated by a mentor (Psychiatrist) to ensure content validity. The survey will consist of 10 to 15 multiple-choice and Likert scale questions, each worth 1 point. There will be no fee or special permissions required for this survey, and it will be administered in paper format. The demographic questionnaire, also self-developed, will include multiple-choice and short-answer questions to capture information such as gender, age, years of professional experience, and clinic specialization. The tool will be administered in paper format at the start of the project, ensuring participant anonymity. De-identified reports from the EHR will be used to track the number of correctly completed PHQ-9 screenings and the number of referrals for mental health services. These reports will be generated by the office manager, who will strip all identifying information to maintain patient confidentiality. The EHR-based data collection does not require additional training or fees, as it utilizes the existing functionalities of the clinic’s system. All tools will be administered in a manner that ensures the privacy and confidentiality of the participants, with paper-based data securely stored and digital data entered into a password-protected Excel spreadsheet on the clinic’s secure server.
12- Please describe what you will do with the data following project completion, and how long it will be saved. NUR 704 Project Evaluation Worksheet Discussion
Following the completion of the project, all collected data will be carefully reviewed and securely stored to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the information. The paper-based surveys and demographic questionnaires will be digitized, if not already done, and all physical copies will be securely shredded to prevent unauthorized access. The digital data, including the transcribed survey responses, demographic information, and de-identified reports from the EHR ,(NOT FROM HER THE LOG SHEET) will be stored in a password-protected Excel spreadsheet on the clinic’s secure server. (PERSONAL LAPTOP PROCTED PASSWORD NOT CLINC COMPUTER) The data will be saved for a period of five years to allow for any necessary follow-up analysis, reporting, or audits as required by institutional policies and ethical guidelines (Ehrenstein et al., 2019). After five years, the digital files will be permanently deleted from the server to ensure the complete disposal of sensitive information. During the retention period, access to the stored data will be restricted to the project manager and authorized personnel, (PLEASE REMOVE AUTORIZED PER., ONLY PM) ensuring continued protection of participant confidentiality and adherence to data protection regulations. Any reports or publications resulting from the project will present aggregated data only, with no identifying information to maintain the privacy of the participants.
Please include citations for all facts and data shared in your responses for each question. Proper spelling and grammar is expected and up to 5 points may be deducted from a response if it is not written at a scholarly, doctoral level. Please write in complete sentences and do not use bullets or phrases. Use of APA 7th edition for citations and references is required.
