This scoping review maps knowledge on Quality Improvement (QI) within implementation science for graduate nursing programs. Findings highlight QI as crucial for solving practice problems and developing essential skills in nursing education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Implementation Science
- Quality Improvement
Background:
- Graduate nursing education seeks to integrate evidence-based practices.
- Implementation science provides a framework for adopting innovations in healthcare.
- Quality Improvement (QI) is a key methodology for enhancing healthcare delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map existing knowledge on Quality Improvement (QI) within the implementation science paradigm.
- To understand the role of QI in graduate nursing education.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review was conducted from October to December 2021.
- The review followed Joanna Briggs Institute assumptions and the PRISMA-ScR protocol.
- 18 studies were selected for analysis.
Main Results:
- Seven studies (38.8%) focused on implementation strategies and development of QI projects for graduate nursing students.
- Studies emphasize QI's ability to address practice problems with scientific rigor.
- Acquiring QI skills is deemed important for professional nursing programs.
Conclusions:
- Implementation science and QI projects enhance professional nursing programs.
- These approaches are vital for improving and developing quality healthcare.
- Integrating QI into graduate nursing education prepares future nurses for evidence-based practice.

Nursing Implementation
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
The Scientific Method in Nursing Process
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...
Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
