Week 8: Signature Assignment – Evidence-Based Project Proposal MSN563

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. Breast cancer can occur in men and women but is it’s common in women. According to the Mayo Clinic (2021), significant funding and research have brought about early detection of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer survival rates have increased, and the number of deaths associated with this disease is steadily declining, mainly due to earlier detection, a new personalized approach to treatment, and a better understanding of the disease. Substantial support for breast cancer awareness and research funding has helped create advances in diagnosing and treating breast cancer (Mayo Clinic, 2021). Although the popularity of breast cancer awareness has gained momentum, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in American women. (National Cancer Institute [NIH], 2021). Being well educated or having adequate information regarding the importance of being screened is still a priority to keep the disease in a declining state. We need to continue to increase awareness and include awareness in education at multiple levels of learning for the community.

The goal of breast cancer screen” ng is to detect breast cancer early before a person discovers a lump. Breast cancer forms, multiples, and occurs in the cells of the breasts. These changes are detectable via screening, but to screen, we must also assess, and self-assessment is essential for early detection even during our annual physical check-ups. We must be diligent and knowledgeable to consider one’s self. According to Pearlman et al. (2017), “Breast Canciones assessment is very important for identifying “g women who may benefit from more intensive breast cancer surveillance; however, there is no standardized approach to office-based breast cancer risk assessment in the United States.” In which Pearlman et al. (2017) explained; This can lead to “missed opportunities to identify those women at high risk of breast cancer and may result in applying average- risk screening recommendations to high-risk women. The article further discusses; “risk assessment and identification of women at high-risk allo” for referral to health care providers with expertise in cancer genetics counselling and testing for breast cancer-related germline mutations (e.g., BRCA), patient counselling about risk-reduction options.” (Pearlman et al., 2017). In developing an educational-based “approach, we can increase awareness of the importance of screening for breast cancer. We have the opportunity to build a standard risk assessment that can benefit the community we serve for early detection and potentially come closer to understanding how to control this disease than letting it control the lives of those affected.

The research project is to increase awareness of the benefits of breast cancer screening by developing an education-based approach that will provide appropriate information to understand the benefits and risks. Breast cancer screening aims to help find breast cancer early so that it is earlier to detect and treat it.

Breast cancer screening, according to the CDC (2021), “means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before there are “signs or symptoms of woman’s disease. All women must be informed by their health care provider about the best screening options.”

“Most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old”o” older, but breast cancer also affects younger women. While breast cancer diagnosis and treatment are difficult for women of any age, young survivors may find it overwhelming. CDC is working to increase awareness of breast cancer and improve the health and quality of life of young breast cancer survivors and young women who are at higher risk of getting breast cancer.” (CDC, 2021)

This research project aims to understand the hin”rances to ingbeing appropriately screened for breast cancer or identify why most women wait until late or only when symptoms occur to get screened or tested. The hypothesized problem, according to Augusta Health (2017), “is lack of information or misinformation, such as only older “omen need mammograms, they might find something, so instead, they avoid it or mostly are simply afraid of the exam hurting.”

The impact of increasing awareness of breast cancer screening” is for every generation to feel comfortable opening up about the possibility and to raise awareness to remove the stigma attached to breast cancer. To advocate for ourselves by raising the question of when it is appropriate to get tested in their lifetime. This research project is beneficial, increases our understanding of ourselves and our bodies, and proactively guides us to act for ourselves. We will see the betterment of our mental health when we control our health rather than letting any illness or disease take over. By providing an education-based approach to increase awareness of the importance of breast cancer screening, we are targeting different generational needs by identifying the most basic information across the board. They can understand the information and be able to make conscious decisions for the betterment of their health.

P- In patients informed of the benefits of the screening I – how does early breast cancer screening

C – compared with those without appropriate information O – affect their choices for screening and testing

T – within two years of this proposed project of an education-based approach

 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. Breast cancer can occur in men and women but is most common in women. According to Pearlman et

1. (2017), “Bit’st cancer risk assessment is very important for identifying”women who may benefit from more intensive breast cancer surveillance; however, there is no standardized approach to office-based breast cancer risk assessment in the United States. This can lead to missed opportunities to identify women at high risk of breast cancer and may result in applying average-risk screening recommendations to high-risk women”.

The literature review includes key te, mostly known as a”keyword, according to Davis (2021), “a significant word from a title or document used especially as “n index to content.” Keywords should contain words and phrases that suggest what the” topic is about. As for my research questions, these terms are essential to understand during the study appropriately.

Breast Cancer – as defined by the American Cancer Society (2019), Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast. Cancer begins when cells begin to grow out of control.

Cancer Screening – according to the CDC (2021), it “means checking your body for cancer before you have symptoms.”

“ducational approach – is a method to provide knowledge and in”formation and develop the necessary skills and understanding for patients to make an informed choice about their health behaviour at the appropriate time frame.

Merriam–Webster defines awareness as “knowledge and understanding that something is happening or exists.”

High-risk – a medical term that refers to a group that is “particularly subject or exposed to danger or has a more increased chance of being affected by internal or external factors.

DeLano et al. An article (2016) identified the lack of an appropriate screening program for women in an inpatient setting, which a nurse navigator identified. Detecting and preventing early is essential in decreasing a woman’s mortality from breast cancer. “The objectives of the prowoman’sre to develop a simple assessme”t tool that screened 100% of patients upon admission to the inpatient setting to identify women over the age of 40 years who had not had a mammogram within the past 12 months.” (DeLano et al., 2016). Because of their project, DeLano et al.”(2016) found out, “The problem being addressed is that women all too often forgo o” avoid their yearly mammograms for personal reasons. The American College of Radiology estimates that 40% of women over 40 are avoiding their yearly mammogram.” This article provides the vital need for a proper educational “approach to encourage women not to forgo their screening.

In this article, Guilford et al. (2017), “The purpose of this study was to examine breast cancer knowledg”, beliefs, and screening behaviours among college women utilizing the health belief model… Health behaviour theories are often used to understand health behaviours and help professionals assist people in making desired changes.” This article provides evidence to develop an appropriate educa” national approach to support the clinical question.

Lofters et al. (2017) discuss adherence to cancer screenings and follow-ups. “We used pre-and post-session questionnaires to assess changes in” participant awareness of cancer susceptibility and screening guidelines and changes in screening self-efficacy.”

Huhmann (2020) studied immigrant women’s perceptions of fords screening. “Swomen’somen were least likely to understand the purpose of an m” mammogram, and those who correctly understood breast cancer screening had gained this knowledge since immigrating to the United States. Misconceptions regarding risk factors also led to an incorrect understanding of breast and cervical cancers which may cause Somali women to believe they are less susceptible to cancer because of its cultural classification as a Western disease.” This article provides evidence of the need to increase awareness”s with a goal of inclusivity and understanding for other ethnic groups within the community.

Nasiriani et al. (2017), the benefit of this article to the research question is the need to consider the need for cancer screening based on family history. And other alternatives for practical educational approaches to encourage screening via telephone counselling.

These research studies are examples of evidence that can support the research question: “Developing an Education-based Approach to Increase Awareness on”Breast Cancer Screening.”

As for critically appraising the literature, we can identify s”strengths and weaknesses in the literature to support the research question appropriately. We use critical appraisal tools such as CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, etc., to identify the appropriate literature. Strengths help reduce the burden and allow you to focus on articles relevant to the research question that can reliably support or refute its claims with high-quality evidence or identify high-level research pertinent to your practice. Weaknesses can be overwhelming volumes of results which can vary in quality. For this research question, the strengths of appraising the literature increase the validity and purpose of the study, clinical applicability, and usefulness. The identified weakness from the supporting evidence was the lack of studies or information about screening for younger women who can be considered high-risk because most studies only target women 40 or older regarding the importance of screening. I believe this can cause a knowledge gap that can be regarded as a weakness within the supporting pieces of literature that I may use for my research questions because I want to educate women of different age groups, ethnicity, and populations to achieve increased awareness of the importance of early screenings for breast cancer.

For this project proposal, EBP standards are essential to guide it to success. According to AIR (2021), “Evidence-based interventions are practices or programs that hav” peer-reviewed, documented empirical evidence of effectiveness. Evidence-based interventions use a continuum of integrated policies, strategies, activities, and services whose effectiveness has been proven or informed by research and evaluation.” The following are Evidence-Based Interventions for Breast Canc”r Screening that are essential, to name a few; the first is Client reminders; this can be in the form of a written or telephone communication to inform the patient that their screening is upcoming, due, or late. This intervention considers the patient’s schedule and availability to ensure they remain within their scheduled screening schedule. And any concerns or questions are answered appropriately during this time. Providing this service to patients has increased their compliance rate of getting screened promptly. Secondly, One-on-one education this intervention has proven tremendous compliance for breast cancer screening because the provider can address individual concerns or questions, listen in depth to the patient’s information, and assess accordingly to their patients. This has always been proven, just as Jean Watson’s Theory on Human Caring theoretical framework has taughtWatson’st caring for more than just the physical aspect provides a positive outcome for a patient’s well-being by ideally including her Caritas in our carpatient’snd Lastly, Reducing Structural Barriers this intervention again considers understanding the barriers that cause the patient’s noncompliance, that by knowing the barriers, we can repatient’snd restructure our approach, just as using an appropriate interpreter for those with language barriers or provide daycare for single mothers during their appointments, to convey that it is essential to always focus on one’s health to be healthy to care for our family oone’sldren. These evidence-based interventions are essential because they are adjustable to the patient needing care, such as breast cancer screening; they can consider differences in culture, ethnicity, status, or background. Which will increase compliance when one knows they are being cared for in that personable manner.

This project proposal has identified the impact it can bring to every generation to learn to raise awareness within their generation aside from differences such as culture, race, or age and bring down the stigma they have learned from others. Women will learn to advocate for themselves and the direction of their care. The project will contribute to nursing research by gathering data on compliance, understanding, and barriers affecting women’s awareness of the importance of breast cancer screening. women’soject will be able to provide and develop an education-based approach to increase awareness of the importance of breast cancer screening and guide them to appropriate information, resources, and confidence to ask so that they can understand the information and make conscious decisions to improve their health.
