Knowledge-to-Action: Intervention SWOT Analysis
It is always good to start a paper with a grabbing statistic (with citation) regarding the topic (the problem which was identified in your article from Week 4) to capture the attention of the reader. Provide a sentence or two discussing the professional nurses’ role in the implementation of an improvement project. End the introduction paragraph with a purpose or thesis statement as your last sentence of the paragraph to introduce the
main points/sections of your paper. Example: The purpose of this paper is to… discuss the clinical practice problem of hospital acquired infections and provide a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of evidence-based intervention to address this clinical practice problem in YOUR practice setting
*TIP: (be more
specific
using the problem, practice setting, and intervention you have identified when creating the purpose statement).
Practice Problem Overview
Provide the name of the Unit 4 article and be sure that you are providing appropriate citations. Clearly identify and state the overarching problem within this article’s practice setting (Ex: The clinical practice problem identified within the article is…….). Provide an overview of the information contained within the selected article that supports the existence and significance of the problem. Including information such as participants/setting of the article and data or statistics adds credibility to the significance of the problem.
A problem needs to be a real problem, or it is not worth addressing-prove there is a real problem. This section is only about a problem, not a diagnosis or an intervention.
**TIP: Only provide info from the
initially selected article from Unit 4 and edits as suggested by the faculty.
Implementation
Provide at least a paragraph to explain the intervention you selected from the Unit 5 paper. Provide some literature (1-2 sources) evidence with data to support this evidence-based intervention. Briefly discuss why this was the best intervention to address the clinical problem if it existed in YOUR practice setting (You can state my clinical practice setting to make it clear this is not an in general practice or the practice setting from the primary article) as a lead into the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis. Refer the reader to Table 1.
**Tip: Explain what you are doing, not just that you are something. For example, if doing education, what is entailed-is it a toolkit, online module etc. Use the significant data from the literature review section of the KTA 1 paper to support the intervention and make it clear this is for implementation where you work in clinical practice.

SWOT Analysis Chart
Strengths (within the organization-does exist)
· Use bullet points to list 3
Strengths of YOUR
practice
that would
support change were you to implement the selected intervention
Weaknesses (within the organization-does exist)
· Use bullet points to list 3
Weaknesses of YOUR
practice
that would
resist change were you to implement the selected intervention
Opportunities (outside of the organization’s control-could happen)
· Use bullet points to list 3
Opportunities that a change might
result in
were you to implement the selected intervention (benefits for the organization, patients, community)
Threats (outside of the organization’s control-could happen)
· Use bullet points to list 3
Threats that represent an
actual or potential
barrier
were you to implement the selected intervention. (what external things that the organization or you can’t control could get in the way of implementation or sustainability)
*TIP-Strengths and Weaknesses are internal to the practice; Opportunities and Threats are external in relation to the practice.
Strengths
Provide a narrative discussion of the
strengths of YOUR practice
(internal) that would support change were you to implement the selected intervention
. (Ex: healthcare team). Provide citations & references as applicable to your organization and/or other sources.
Weaknesses
Provide a narrative discussion of the
weaknesses of YOUR practice
(internal) that would resist change were you to implement the selected intervention. (Ex: existing technology (EPIC). Provide citations & references as applicable to your organization and/or other sources
Opportunities
A narrative discussion of
opportunities that a change might result in
(external) were you to implement the selected intervention
. (Ex: competitive advantage). Provide citations & references as applicable to your organization and/or other sources
Threats
A narrative discussion of
Threats that represent an
actual or potential
barrier (external)
were you to implement the selected intervention. (Ex: New Legislation). Provide citations & references as applicable to your organization and/or other sources.
**TIP: The narrative should elaborate on each bullet listed. The narrative is not about the intervention itself, rather, it is the analysis of the feasibility to
implement the intervention & sustain it.
Conclusion
Bring the reader back to the main topic of this paper which is the professional nurses’ role in the implementation of an improvement project. Add your thoughts on the significance of the implementation process and conducting a SWOT analysis in general. You should also restate or rephrase your purpose/thesis statement. In a conclusion, you should NOT add new ideas or new information, rather summarize and reflect on key elements of the paper. You can end the conclusion by clarifying the intent and importance of the paper for the reader (Ex: why was this paper important to healthcare)?
**TIP: Notice the Conclusion is a Level 1 Header, centered, and bolded. A conclusion section should be included in all scholarly papers as a place to summarize the paper. It is normally one paragraph in length, succinct, and restates the main points of your paper. If you need to add cited information, move that information to a previous section of your paper.
***Bonus Tip: While there is no specific page requirement, an in-depth review of the clinical practice problem and supporting literature, along with the introduction & conclusion sections is suggested to be no less than 3 pages. With title and reference pages, a total of 5 pages minimum is suggested.
