WK5ProjectsDocumentscont.docx Develop SMART objectives you want your participants to accomplish from this DNP project  (DONE BY GERRY) Complete the ADDIE tool (DONE BY GERRY) WILL UPLOAD BOTH DOCUMENTS. START FROM HERE PLEASE 1) Make Power Point slides that you are going to present to them during this ~ 1-hour education session on your topic of early recognition of staff burnout in nurses working in long-term care Handouts you are going to give to them during this education session 2) Write a Pretest of ~ 10 multiple choice questions—titled Pretest and include on it at the top: Please provided a 4-digit de-identifying number __________ Copy and paste this exact same test and change the title to Posttest The students will take the exact same test The test needs to be de-identified, so the participants will create their own 4-digit number and never enter their name You will compare the pretest and posttest scores for your statistical analysis, paired t test You should make sure whatever questions you put on your tests that the answers will be available for the participants to  1) have them said by you during your Power Point presentation 2) written on the Power Point slides 3) included in the handout you give to the class This helps the staff to know the answers when they take the posttest, meaning higher scores which equals an increase in knowledge. All of this is needed for Week 5. All of these things should be put into one zip file. SMARTObjectives.docx SMART Objectives Write-Up Introduction Burnout among nurses in long-term care facilities is a growing concern, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment (Maslach & Leiter, 2016). It negatively affects both staff well-being and patient outcomes. Early recognition and intervention are crucial in preventing burnout, promoting retention, and improving quality of care. A staff education program focusing on the early identification of burnout symptoms can enhance nurses’ knowledge and awareness, enabling timely self-care and organizational support interventions. The SMART framework—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—provides a structured approach to developing clear and attainable objectives that guide the implementation and evaluation of this educational intervention (Doran, 1981). SMART Objectives 1. Specific To  increase nurses’ knowledge of the early signs, risk factors, and coping strategies for burnout through a structured educational program designed specifically for long-term care staff. · Rationale: Targeting knowledge improvement ensures nurses can recognize burnout symptoms early in themselves and colleagues, fostering a proactive approach to well-being. 2. Measurable By the end of the educational intervention, at least  80% of participating nurses will demonstrate a  20% improvement in knowledge scores on a pre- and post-education burnout recognition quiz. · Measurement Tool: A validated questionnaire assessing understanding of burnout concepts, symptoms, and prevention strategies (e.g., Copenhagen Burnout Inventory or a researcher-developed tool based on Maslach Burnout Inventory principles). · Data Collection: Pre-test administered before the session and post-test immediately after. 3. Achievable The objective is attainable within the scope of a 60-minute educational session conducted by the DNP student, using evidence-based materials (e.g., PowerPoint presentation, interactive discussion, and case scenarios). The content will be simplified, engaging, and tailored to the needs of long-term care nurses. · Rationale: Short, targeted educational programs have been shown to effectively improve nurses’ knowledge and awareness of occupational stress and burnout (Adriaenssens et al., 2017). 4. Relevant This objective aligns with organizational goals to promote staff well-being, reduce turnover, and enhance patient care quality. It also supports the DNP essentials related to clinical scholarship, leadership, and evidence-based practice (AACN, 2021). · Relevance: Improving burnout awareness contributes to better workforce sustainability and higher job satisfaction, directly impacting patient safety and care outcomes (Dyrbye et al., 2020). 5. Time-Bound The educational intervention and evaluation will be  completed within a 6-week period: · Week 1: Pre-intervention data collection and scheduling · Weeks 2–4: Implementation of the educational sessions · Week 5: Post-intervention testing · Week 6: Data analysis and summary of findings · Rationale: The 6-week timeline allows adequate time for participation, evaluation, and reflection while ensuring the project remains feasible within the DNP practicum timeframe. Summary By applying the SMART framework, this project will ensure clear, measurable, and achievable objectives that align with the goal of improving nurses’ knowledge on the early recognition of burnout. The structured educational intervention will empower nurses with the skills to identify early warning signs and seek appropriate support, ultimately fostering a healthier work environment and improving care quality in long-term care settings.

ADDIEMODEL.docx ADDIE Model for Staff Education on Early Recognition of Burnout 1. Analysis Purpose: To determine the need for a staff education program to enhance nurses’ ability to recognize early signs of burnout in long-term care (LTC) settings. Needs Assessment: · Problem Identified: High rates of burnout among nurses in LTC settings, leading to decreased job satisfaction, increased turnover, and compromised patient care quality. · Current Gap: Limited awareness and knowledge among nurses regarding early recognition and management of burnout symptoms. · Target Audience: Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) working in the LTC facility. · Learning Needs: Nurses need evidence-based knowledge about early signs of burnout, contributing factors, coping strategies, and institutional resources for prevention. · Learning Environment: In-person educational sessions conducted in a staff meeting room, supplemented with digital materials. Data Collection for Analysis: · Pre-assessment survey to evaluate baseline knowledge of burnout recognition. · Review of staff turnover data, absenteeism, and employee satisfaction surveys. · Literature review on nurse burnout in LTC settings.
