Paper will be ~ 4 paragraphs of content.
First 1 to 2 paragraphs make a case for this project (significance of the clinical problem). Why does this matter to nurses? Why is this important to do?
Prevalence, outcomes, current state/ gaps in knowledge
Use 2 additional references (NOT your primary articles) to support. Systematic reviews, clinical practice guidelines, CDC, AHRQ, WHO data OK here.
Cite within the paper and on reference list.

In the last column “JHNEBP Score”, list both the level of evidence (rating) and the grade (quality) Table 2 Content: Addendum B-5, page 14 of 19 Use the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model in Addendum B-5 to rate the research design (Level) and grade the quality of the evidence. Rate the level of evidence I-V based on the type of research design. LEVELS I: Evidence from experimental study, RCT, or meta-analysis of RCTs II: Evidence from quasi experimental study III: Evidence obtained from a non-experimental study, qualitative study or meta-synthesis (qualitative study synthesis) IV: Opinion of nationally recognized experts based on research evidence or expert consensus panel (systematic review, clinical practice guidelines) V: Opinion of individual expert based on non-research evidence. (Includes case studies; literature review; organizational experience e.g., quality improvement and financial data; clinical expertise, or personal experience) Table 2 Content: Addendum B-5, page 14 of 19 Use the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model in Addendum B-5 to rate the research design (Level) and grade the quality of the evidence. Grade the quality of evidence A – High, B – Good, C – Low/major flaw based on the criteria. Consistent, generalizable results: Are the study findings consistent with other studies on the topic (see Discussion), and are the results generalizable to people with the same issue but different characteristics? Sufficient sample: Is the sample size sufficient? If so, how do you know? Was a power analysis used? Was the sample size based on previous research? Adequate control: Was the environment controlled, was their blinding, were the groups similar, were researchers and assistants trained on administering the intervention? Definitive conclusions: If adequate control, with strong study design and statistical analysis, and the intervention was administered corre O R I G I N A L A R T I C L E A multicentre, randomised controlled clinical trial David G.

Zelen10 1Department of Surgery, University of Correspondence Funding information Abstract We desired to carefully evaluate a novel autologous heterogeneous skin con- struct in a prospective randomised clinical trial comparing this to a standard- of-care treatment in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This study reports the interim analysis after the first half of the subjects have been analysed. Fifty patients (25 per group) with Wagner 1 ulcers were enrolled at 13 wound centres in the United States. Twenty-three subjects underwent the autologous heterogeneous skin construct harvest and application procedure once; two subjects required two applications due to loss of the first application. The primary endpoint was the proportion of wounds closed at 12 weeks. There were significantly more wounds closed in the treatment group (18/25; 72%) vs controls (8/25; 32%) at 12 weeks. The treatment group achieved significantly greater percent area reduction compared to the control group at every prespecified timepoint of 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks. Thirty-eight adverse events occurred in 11 subjects (44%) in the treatment group vs 48 in 14 controls (56%), 6 of which required study removal. In the treatment group, there were no serious adverse events related to the index ulcer. Two adverse events (index 1Seidel D, et al.
