In this course, each of you will be developing a research proposal. Our focus this week is to identify a problem specific to your role option that is amenable to an innovative solution.

Based on your specialty role option (i.e., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator, Nurse Informaticist, Nurse Administrator), identify a potential problem (topic) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. Begin by reading the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) position statement on nursing research (Nursing Research).

Next explore and conduct a search to locate a minimum of three nursing research articles that have addressed the problem you have identified. The literature may not be older than 5 years.( here are the three research studies I picked)

Polypharmacy and potential drug–drug interactions for people with HIV in th…: Discovery Service for South University (oclc.org),

Use of comedications and potential drug-drug interactions in people living with HIV in China – ScienceDirect (oclc.org),

Getting to the Heart of the Matter: A Review of Drug Interactions Between HIV Antiretrovirals and Cardiology Medications – ScienceDirect (oclc.org)

After reading the literature respond to the following:

1. Note your role specialization and briefly describe the problem you are interested in researching and why this is of interest to you.
2. Discuss your library search strategies and briefly summarize the literature you reviewed. Focus your discussion on the “problem” and how the literature you identified provides evidence of the existence of the problem.
3. Include in your discussion a potential innovation that you might consider as a solution to the problem identified.
4. Include citations/references in APA style format, using citations where appropriate. use 3 references less than 5 years, 700 words. USE RUBRIC. APA FORMAT.

I sent you the link for the three research articles, please follow the rubric

Answer preview

Poor drug interaction is a problem among HIV patients with comorbid diseases. When looking at the elderly living with HIV infections, they are susceptible to non-communicable diseases (NCD). As a family nurse practitioner (FNP), the increased health complications in such populations are a concern due to drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The multiple medications prescribed to the HIV patients receiving other medication therapies lead to therapeutic failure and severe toxicities. This is an area I am interested in researching because I have seen the harsh side effects of DDI on my patients, complicating HIV treatment and increasing the mortality rate. A literature review on providing evidence regarding the DDIs problem with HIV patients may influence the identification of solutions.
