- A handful of recent, peer-reviewed studies
- Usually proposed, not carried out
Usually two to four semesters: you implement a practice change or quality improvement project and measure what happened.
- Two to four semesters

From a real example in Thezis. Every claim sits beside the passage it rests on, quoted from PubMed.
A 2022 review of 105 studies reported pooled observed compliance of 52% for nurses and 45% for physicians. The findings give a sense of the gap between expected and observed practice, but interpreting them requires caution. Differences between studies were very large.
Afework and Tamene's 2025 review brought together 28 qualitative studies and grouped reported barriers into behavioral, organizational, physical, and interpersonal categories. This helps explain why another reminder may leave a problem unresolved.

Capstone questions, answered
What is the ATI capstone?
ATI Capstone is a content review course many programs use before the NCLEX. It isn't a written project. This page is about the written capstone paper or DNP project.
How is a DNP project different from a BSN capstone?
A DNP project usually runs over several semesters, is carried out at a practice site, and measures outcomes. A BSN capstone is often a one-semester evidence-based proposal.
How do I pick a topic with enough evidence?
Choose a well-studied nursing intervention, then search before you commit. A topic that looks less exciting but has recent studies beats one with almost nothing to cite.
Can I use my own articles?
Yes. Upload PDFs or import by DOI or URL, and tell the AI to write only from your document's sources.
Is it allowed in my program?
Check your program's AI policy. Thezis keeps you the author: you choose the sources, ask for help one section at a time, and check every citation.
What does it cost?
Free to start with 10 AI requests. Writing, citations and exports stay free; unlimited AI writing is a paid plan.
