he collection of evidence is an activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.

In this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.

To Prepare:

Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.
Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection.
Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

Create an 8- to 9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)
Describe the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.
Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.
Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.
Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.
Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.
Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.
Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:
A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted
An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides)

Alternate Submission Method

You may also use Kaltura Personal Capture to record your narrated PowerPoint. This option will require you to create your PowerPoint slides first. Then, follow the Personal Capture instructions outlined on the Kaltura Media Uploader guide Links to an external site.. This guide will walk you through downloading the tool and help you become familiar with the features of Personal Capture. When you are ready to begin recording, you may turn off the webcam option so that only “Screen” and “Audio” are enabled. Start your recording and then open your PowerPoint to slide show view. Once the recording is complete, follow the instructions found on the “Posting Your Video in the Classroom Guide” found on the Kaltura Media Uploader page for instructions on how to submit your video. For this option, in addition to submitting your video, you must also upload your PowerPoint file which must include your speaker notes.

In this assessment, you will analyze communicable diseases within the community, state, and nation. You will evaluate the epidemiology and the nurse’s role in using evidence-based data to develop methods to mitigate disease in the community. You will also develop the teaching materials for and deliver the educational program you developed in Part II of the CSLO 1 assessment.

Part 1: Nursing Student Presentation on Infection Control

Understanding diseases present within the community allows public health nurses to prioritize health promotion and disease prevention strategies.

How to Write a Critical Analysis of a Film: “THE HATE U GIVE” by George Tillman Jr

If you enjoy watching movies, you would most probably like to know how to write a critical analysis of a film. Critical analysis refers to a  subjective  form of writing in which the author evaluates or critiques the work of another person. In other words, the film critique is based on or influenced by your personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. The aim of writing a critical analysis is to enhance the understanding of the work by the reader. Additionally, the analysis aims at determining how effective the work is. It is important to note that a critical analysis of a film is different from a movie review. A movie review is just about watching a film passively while a critical analysis entails engaging on a level that surpasses mere storytelling.

In addition, the  critical film review  is designed to get you to think and evaluate the different sociological perspectives that have been presented to you during the semester through the use of cinema. In doing so, we should take into account that we may not be familiar with the cultural content expressed in the assigned film:

· How can we know if the film is accurate or even fair?

· Whose voices are we hearing? 

· Who are we not hearing from? 

· Are we being led to form a particular opinion – that of the filmmaker – or are we left to make our own opinion? 

· Does the film do a good job in helping us to understand the sociological agenda it is attempting to address?

How to write a critical analysis of a film step by step

While writing a critical analysis of a film, you should always remember that this writing is subjective because it should express your evaluation or opinion of the film. The analysis simply means breaking down and studying the parts. Therefore, your analysis should depict two major aspects:  studying  and  critiquing .

 

Here are the steps to follow when writing a critical analysis of a film:

Step 1: Watch the film

At this step, you watch the film several times to get its gist. This is very important because it enables you to understand different aspects of the film which is crucial in writing a good critical analysis. To watch the film critically implies that you must watch it attentively, with no distractions, and take notes while watching it. If you are watching the film using a DVD player or a computer, rewind, and pause to understand the crucial parts of the movie or those that stand out to you the most.

Step 2: Engage with the film critically

At this step, start engaging critically with the film that you want to analyze. This is very important because it will enable you to come up with a strong critical analysis essay. Identify and focus on a single concept or theme that dominates the film. For instance, you can focus on how the film relates to a specific historical or current sociocultural event or crisis dramatically without compromising facts. You can also focus on the use of various devices such as dramatic irony and overlapping dialogue.

Step 3: Outline your critical analysis

Writing the outline of a critical analysis will enable you to present your critical analysis in a more organized manner. Writing an outline entail determining the information that you intend to include in the analysis,  where  to place it in the critical analysis summary, and  how to place the information. In this step, create rough headings for the different sections. Outlining a critical analysis is simply planning how to write a critical analysis of a film and this makes the actual writing easier.

Step 4: Introduce the film

In this step, you start the actual writing by introducing the film that you are analyzing critically and the major participants in it. Among the participants that you can introduce at this step include the film director, the actors, the characters being portrayed, and if they represent real people, include how the actors enact their personas.

Step 5: Write the movie story overview or summary

In this step, provide an overview of the film story in a brief manner. However, avoid writing a synopsis of the movie instead of an analysis. Reveal twists in the plot or how the film ends if this is related to the analysis directly.

Step 6: Write the analysis

Start writing the analysis section with the film at hand. To write a good critical analysis of a film, avoid relying on your memory. This is because it is difficult to memorize all the events, cinematic techniques, and dialogues after playing the film. Therefore, make sure that you have easy access to the film while writing your critical analysis.

Here is a simple format that you can use as a template for writing a critical analysis of a film: 

The introduction

In the introduction section, introduce the key players in the movies. These can include the producer; the director and the cinematographer among others depending on the angle that you intend to take in your analysis. You can also include the main idea or theme of the movie as well as the thesis statement of your analysis.

Summary

In the summary or film overview section, you outline the major theme or idea of the film. This involves what, who, where, when, how, and why. You can also discuss the style, structure, or viewpoint.

· How would you describe the main characters?

· What are their goals?

· What problems do they face?

· What choices do the characters make?

· What motivates them?

· What are the consequences?

· What do the main characters learn about themselves, and how do they change?

Analysis

In this section, you tell readers what you liked and what you did not like about the film. It is crucial you include in this section the two (2)  Sociological Elements  you chose for your project in your proposal.

Provide an explanation for your ideas by citing specific examples from the film. Additionally, identify the goal of the film and whether it accomplished it. Your analysis should focus on determining whether the film is understandable, focused, interesting, properly concluded, authentic, clear, and meeting its purpose, among others. Include several slides in the analysis section with each slide giving a specific idea and supporting it with evidence from the film.

· What causes the major turning points in the narrative?

· Does the world of the film work like the real world? If not, what are the differences?

· What does the film say about the nature of human beings?

· What does the film say about society?

· What good insights into life are there in the film? What does it get wrong? How might it affect viewers?

Conclusion

In the conclusion section, end your critical analysis by restating the thesis statement that you stated in the introduction. However, use new words. Also, summarize the main ideas that you discussed in the analysis section using stronger and new words.  End the conclusion with an effective call to action. In other words, how can the message of your film create social change? 

· How did the film make you feel?

· What aspects worked well, and which didn’t (think about writing, direction, cinematography, acting, editing, and soundtrack)?

· To what extent did it fit with your expectations, or did it subvert them in some ways?

· The conclusion must include a section where you identify with either the film in general, any of its themes, or a specific character. This requires you to place yourself within the film and then describe what about this film resonates with you.

 

Bonus tips on how to write a critical analysis of a film

· Conduct research from secondary sources before you start writing the analysis

Before you write your critical analysis of a film, conduct some research from other sources. Find analyses by other people and reviews about the film that you are about to analyze. Consider the issues that others have raised about the film before you start writing your analysis.

· Select the theme or idea that dominates the movie and other analyses

This could be the theme that you agree with, find relevant, or disagree with. It could be a controversial theme that some people are uncomfortable with on the basis of their beliefs.
