Assignment: NR718 The Evaluation Plan Sample

The incidence of depression-related suicide is a significant public health concern that requires a comprehensive approach to identifying and managing people at risk. As part of this approach, advanced practice nurses (APNs) can be crucial in improving patient outcomes by implementing evidence-based interventions. This paper explores an evidence-based intervention’s primary outcomes and evaluation plan to reduce depression-related suicide.

The primary outcome of the evidence-based interventions is to reduce the incidence of depression-related suicide by identifying individuals at risk through standardized screening of individuals at risk of depression-related suicide using tools such as the Kessler psychological distress scale (K6+) and implementing evidence-based interventions (Ryan & Oquendo, 2020). This will facilitate early identification, treatment, and referral to appropriate resources for individuals at risk of depression-related suicide, reducing the burden of depression on healthcare costs and productivity. The interventions, such as comprehensive education and training for nurses on best practices for depression screening and suicide risk assessment, will also contribute to the overall success of the intervention (Saini et al., 2020).

The proposed evidence-based intervention to address the practice problem of depression-related suicide will be measured through ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the program’s effectiveness. This evaluation will measure patient outcomes and nurses’ adherence to evidence-based practices. Patient outcomes will be assessed through the use of validated measures such as the patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Columbia suicide severity rating scale (C-SSRS) (Kim et al., 2021). Nurses’ adherence to evidence-based practices will be assessed through observation, chart audits, and staff surveys. The project team will also collect data on the incidence of depression-related suicide within the healthcare organization before and after implementing the evidence-based practices to measure the intervention’s effectiveness in reducing the incidence of depression-related suicide.
