Your submission should be no more than 7 pages (inclusive of title and reference pages) and should represent a synthesis and interpretation of your selected topic.
Include the following sections:
Introduction
Background and definition of the selected advanced nursing practice problem focused on the field of epidemiology.
Environmental, biological, sociological, or political origins of the problem
Problem statement
Research or clinical question
Critical Analysis/Synthesis of the Literature
Include at least 3 relevant current (i.e., last 5 years) research or evidence-based practice project studies that include methodologies (e.g., designs and analytic techniques) that we have covered in this course.
Hint: If you are asking a research question, please confine yourself to high-quality research studies. If you are asking a clinical question, you may use published EBP project studies if they apply to your target population and setting; this speaks to the external reliability or generalizability of a study, which is not usually the focus or strength of an EBP project.
Critique and synthesize the major strengths and limitations of the methodologies in each study/project using your texts and the Critique Analysis Template as guides (do not insert the Critique Analysis Template into the body of your paper; you may add it as an appendix, but it is not required).
Possible methodological designs and associated analytic techniques include:
Cross-sectional, which might use descriptive, one-group t-test, correlation, or regression
Recommendations
Potential gaps in the literature
Implications of the current research
Suggestions for future research or action steps supported by your analysis.
What research or EBP designs are needed to further nursing science?
What analytic techniques would you propose to use with the designs you recommend (e.g., cross-section data collection on multiple variables to predict or explain a phenomenon might use correlation and/or regression analysis)?
Conclusions
Ensure your conclusions are drawn from the current research and address the problem area and question that you have asked.
Discuss the importance of epidemiology and biostatistics in addressing this problem within the field of advanced evidence-based practice in nursing.
Include a minimum of 5 scholarly sources to support your assignment. ALL sources must be scholarly, from the USA and accessible by Google scholar and free.
Format your assignment and reference page according to APA guidelines.

The Question
Unless interventions for prevention are implemented, compassion fatigue and nurse turnover will be a concern in hospice care. Hospice professionals are often unaware of the symptoms of compassion fatigue and feel unsure about how to treat them because of a lack of awareness and education. My role as a scholar allows me to conduct research and develop a solution to compassion fatigue to support hospice professionals in maintaining their careers.
Therefore the following PICOT question applies to healthcare professionals that deliver hospice care (P), who practice evidenced-based self-care (I) before and after self-care intervention (C) compassion fatigue prevention (O) over four weeks (T).
