EBP Proposal
Recruiting Participants for Your EBP Proposal.
For this assignment, write the Sample Section of your EBP Project Proposal (see attached EBP Project Proposal) in a Word document.
Here is a Week 8 Sample Section Example (Word) of what the sample section can look like.
Sample Section Guidelines
This section covers your planned recruitment and ethical considerations for your future participants. It should take up about two to three pages. The purpose is to tell the reader what your recruitment plan is for the study. You should have subheadings throughout this section of the paper.
In this section, write about the following:
1. Sample: Cover the following points in no more than two paragraphs each:
– How subjects will be recruited
– What the inclusion criteria will be (for more expansion, you may add the exclusion criteria to show what was consciously eliminated)
– The type of sample (random, purposive, convenience, etc.)
– The proposed sample size and rationale for this choice
– The selection method (random table of numbers, flip a coin, etc.— this depends on the type of study)
Although this subsection should cover all these items, it may be written in a narrative style.
2. Setting: Keeping in mind that this is a proposed setting, and it should not be recognizable for confidentiality and privacy reasons. It is a broad view of the setting. For example:
The proposed setting for this study is a large teaching hospital in the northeast. The actual place where the study would be carried out is in the three medical–surgical units in this hospital. Each unit has a bed capacity of 25–30 beds with occupancy rates of 92% to 95%. The study will take place in a private conference room.
