It is important that I work on my speech and presentation, if I want to present my findings in a more formal setting, so other professionals will visualize me as being strong confident in my knowledge. Part of professional presentations, is understanding your audience, and determining what they want and expect to get from your presentation (Mind Tools, 2019). I know from experience, when presenters come across as nervous and anxious, the audience becomes bored and loses interest. A professional presentation, should engage an audience and make them feel important, providing information in a well-structured format, identifying key points, and using examples to support findings. Reading from note cards and a lecture, can also detour audiences from being engaged, losing their interest. According to Mind Tools (2019) “you owe it to yourself, and your organization, to develop the skills you need to present your ideas clearly, purposefully, engagingly, and confidently” (p. 1). It would me in my best interest to take a class on public speaking, to help decrease my anxiety and give me the confidence and skills to become a better speaker and presenter.

Two potential barriers that may prevent my EBP change proposal from continuing past the 6 months to one-year interval would be time devoted to implementation and preparation and knowledge of the EBP being implemented according to Ginex (2018).
Time should be devoted to preparation of the staff and unit and also including knowledge of why this practice is being changed or improved. The benefits to the staff and patients regarding this EBP should be clear and focused. Time should be allocated to questions and education regarding the concept. Provide opportunity for stakeholders to offer input and observations regarding the implementation.
According to Ginex (2018), behavior change is not easy. It takes persistence, determination, and a readiness to be open to new options along the way. Working together will promote positive outcomes for both patients and ourselves.
Strategies for overcoming these barriers are according to Wyant (2017) include development of EBP models that address the clinical problem and an approach to ongoing practice change. Wyant (2017) refers to the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care, the Advanced Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration Model, the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model, and the Promotion Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) Framework as examples of tools to help implement and EBP change. Each of the models address the sustainability of EBP through cultural change, stakeholder engagement, comprehensive literature review, barrier identification, and outcomes distribution.
