MSN Capstone Project Proposal Form. The form outlines a proposed evidence-based practice change project. This form is divided into weekly sections.

Each section is graded separately on a weekly basis while the final completed form will be graded with an overall grade. Each week the student will receive feedback from the instructor and the student is expected to incorporate the instructor feedback to edit and improve the weekly sections. The Week 9 final Capstone Project Proposal will be based on students incorporating the instructor’s weekly feedback.

Week 1

State Your Clinical Question

[100 to 150 words]

· State your clinical question or topic for your capstone project proposal.

· What issue is the question/topic addressing?

· What are the reasons you selected this question/topic?

State your clinical question or topic for your capstone project

The clinical question addressed by the capstone project proposal in this case is obesity.

What issue is the question or topic addressing

The issue in this case is the childhood obesity and the adverse impacts of childhood obesity. The issue of childhood leads to the rise in the risk of being overweight past the age of 35. Child with this condition develop several chronic conditions, severe metabolic and heart illnesses which translates to increased mortality rate especially when they become adults.

The reasons for the selected question or topic

Obesity is described as having excessive fat accumulation that is not good for one’s health. About 4% of children and adolescents in the US are severely obese (Varness, Allen,Carrel, & Fost, 2009). Child obesity exposes children to comorbid conditions. Child obesity is now a full-blown epidemic. It has hugely affected the physical as well as the psychological health of children. Uncontrolled weight puts children at the risk of developing “adult illnesses” like high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, or heart disease at a tender age. Therefore, this makes the topic of interest to me because I want to research and learn on the strategies of preventing the increase rate of obesity in the country, causes of childhood obesity, ways of educating parents to safeguard their parents against the disease, and intervention and treatment methods. As a clinician, this information will provide me with adequate information that I will use to educate and create awareness among my patients and community on preventing childhood obesity.
