Theoretical Framework to Support Evidence-Based Practice

PowerPoint Presentation: Theoretical Framework to Support Evidence-Based Practice

Goal:

The purpose of this assignment is to identify a theory or model which can be used as a framework for a future evidence-based project

Content Requirements:

Review literature regarding issues or concerns within your selected area of advanced practice nursing.

Select a theory or model which is relevant to your selected area of advanced practice nursing.

Offer a meaningful context for evidence-based practice surrounding the issue or concern which you identified.

Identify and describe a theory or model, and explain its relevance to the issues or concerns within your selected area of advanced practice

Explain how the theory or model can be used as a framework to guide evidence-based practice to address the issue or concern, and discuss the unique insight or perspective offered through the application of this theory or model.

Submission Instructions:

The PowerPoint presentation is original work and logically organized. It should consist of 10-15 slides excluding the title and reference.

The PowerPoint presentation should be clear and easy to read. Speaker notes expanded upon and clarified content on the slides.

The PowerPoint presentation should be formatted per APA guidelines and references should be current (published within the last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions)

Incorporate a minimum of 4 current (published within last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work.

1- Neuroscience has profoundly expanded our understanding of psychiatric disorders like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, illuminating the intricate workings of the brain and its influence on mental health. Neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and PET scans have allowed researchers to observe brain activity and pinpoint areas implicated in these disorders. For instance, reduced activity in the prefrontal cortex and hyperactivity in the amygdala have been associated with depression and anxiety, shedding light on the neural circuits involved in these conditions (Mayberg, 2003). Similarly, schizophrenia has been linked to abnormal neurotransmitter activity, particularly dopamine dysregulation, which has guided the development of antipsychotic medications (Howes & Kapur, 2009).

2-The development of circuits within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) contributes to the development of social cognition. Alterations in the efficacy of synaptic transmission in the PFC can modulate social hierarchy. The PFC plays a key role in mediating social cognition in both humans and rodents, with social cognition developing throughout childhood and adolescence. Disruptions in prefrontal micro circuitry can lead to deficits in social cognition (Michael et al., 2018)(Lucy et al., 2015)(Joseph et al., 2019), which can manifest as symptoms of certain psychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia. By studying the neural circuits involved in social cognition and understanding how alterations in synaptic transmission can impact social hierarchy, researchers can develop targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes. This research can lead to the development of novel treatment approaches that focus on restoring the proper functioning of the PFC to address deficits in social cognition and ultimately improve the quality of life for individuals with psychiatric disorders. The ultimate goal is to improve overall mental health and well-being

Considering the growing body of evidence linking the immune system and inflammatory processes to various psychiatric disorders, discuss:

1- How inflammation and immune dysregulation may contribute to the pathophysiology of conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.

2- How might this understanding influence treatment approaches and the development of new therapeutic interventions?

3- Discuss specific biomarkers of inflammation

The student must answer the graded discussion with a substantive reply to the graded discussion question(s)/topic(s) posted by the course instructor by Thursday, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Two scholarly source references are required unless stated otherwise by your professor.

The student provides a substantive response to the discussion question or topic on Thursday day and posts a minimum of two additional responses to peers on another day(s). The answers to classmates must be posted by Sunday, 11:59 pm Eastern Time. We expect each student to participate in the discussion board in a respectful manner.

Remember that a new discussion rubric was approved by the professors, committee members, and a majority of the students. Please review the rubric before posting to ensure a maximum of points.

Here are the categories of the new discussion rubric:

Initial Post relevance to the topic of discussion, applicability, and insight. (20%)

Quality of Written Communication Appropriateness of audience and words choice is specific, purposeful, dynamic, and varied. Grammar, spelling, punctuation. (20%)

Inclusion of APNA standards essentials explored in the discussion as well as the role-specific competencies as applicable.(10%)

Rigor, currency, and relevance of the scholarly references. (Use articles that are below 5 years). (20%)

NEUROSCIENCE

Neuroscience has revolutionized our understanding of the brain and its role in mental health. From neuroimaging to neuroplasticity, the field has made tremendous strides in recent years. As future psychiatric nurse practitioners, it's essential to explore the benefits of integrating neuroscience into clinical practice.

Consider the following questions:

- How has neuroscience informed our understanding of psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia?

- How can we use neuroscientific findings to improve patient outcomes, such as personalized treatment plans or novel pharmacological approaches?

Share your thoughts, insights, and experiences on the benefits and potential breakthroughs of neuroscience in clinical psychiatry.
