NR705-WEEK 2 Discussion-Prescreening Process
Practice Question
The following practice question will serve as the basis of the DNP project: For adults with a history of Schizophrenia (P) in the inpatient setting, does the implementation of technology with motivational interviewing (I), compared with current practice (C), impact medication nonadherence (O) in 8-10 weeks (T)?
Process for Completing the IRB Prescreening Supplement Form
The project involves human participants; hence an IRB approval is necessary. The IRB will examine all the supporting documents, including applications, consent documents, recruitment materials, study instruments, and data collection instruments, such as surveys, interview questions, stimuli, and other forms or documents that the human participants will utilize (Rooney et al., 2019). The IRB Prescreening Supplement Form requires elaborating and specifying the expected duration of the participant’s participation, describing the procedures required or to be followed in the project, identifying procedures that might be experimental, and describing any reasonably foreseeable risks or discomforts to the participants. The IRB will review the consent forms and the informed consent process to ensure that the research study provides adequate details and in a language that is easily and readily understandable to the individuals volunteering to be the research participants (Rooney et al., 2019). The IRB application also requires a clear description of the research design and its suitability for human participants.
Project Status
The project is still at the approval stage, but the research team is working with participants towards data collection, which will only be completed after IRB approval. However, the preparation is necessary, including explaining to participants what is expected of them, how the data will be collected, for how long the data will be collected, and the methods and instruments that will be used to collect the data. Generally, the team is in the initial stages of the implementation, and the organization I am working with is already aware of the project implementation, the intervention, and the involvement of schizophrenia patients in the study.
