This assignment requires you to interview one person and requires an analysis of your interview experience

Part I: Interview

Select a patient, a family member, or a friend to interview. Be sure to focus on the interviewee’s experience as a patient, regardless of whom you choose to interview.

Review The Joint Commission resource found in topic materials, which provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using this resource and any other guidelines/examples that you can find, create your own tool for assessing the spiritual needs of patients.

Your spiritual needs assessment survey must include a minimum of five questions that can be answered during the interview. During the interview, document the interviewee’s responses.

The transcript should include the questions asked and the answers provided. Be sure to record the responses during the interview by taking detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information through which the interviewee can be determined.

  1. What went well?
  2. Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the future or change your assessment to better address these challenges?
  3. How can this tool assist you in providing appropriate interventions to meet the needs of your patient?
  4. Did you discover that illness and stress amplified the spiritual concern and needs of your interviewee? Explain your answer with examples.

Submit both the transcript of the interview and the analysis of your results. This should be submitted as one document. The interview transcript does not figure into the word count.

Nursing Practice Conceptual Framework

(Nursing Practice Conceptual Framework)

Week 2: Two Practice-specific Concepts, and List of Propositions/Assumptions

Question description

You are required to submit a scholarly paper in which you will identify, describe, research, and apply the concepts that underlie your personal philosophy for professional nursing practice.

This will help you identify your own values and beliefs about the established metaparadigms and metatheories of the discipline. It will also help you identify and articulate concepts relevant to your specific practice. This paper is intended to be an exercise in clarification and organization of your professional foundation. You are also required to provide a list of assumptions from personal nursing practice that illustrate the concepts and framework of your theory.

Your paper should follow a format that includes:

  • Nursing Autobiography: A brief (1 page) discussion of your background in nursing.
  • The Four Metaparadigms: Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on the basic four metaparadigms/concepts of patient, nurse, health, and environment.
  • Two Practice-Specific Concepts: Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on at least two other concepts specific to your own practice.
  • List of Propositions: A numbered list of at least five propositions or assumption statements that clearly connect the concepts described.

Each week, you will complete various segments of your Concept Synthesis Paper and submit it to the W1: Assignment 3 Dropbox for facilitator feedback when necessary. Your paper should integrate these discrete elements and reflect your personal nursing philosophy.

Your Concept Synthesis Paper on your Personal Nursing Philosophy is due in Week 3. However, it is recommended that you begin working on your paper from Week 1 onwards and complete the various components related to the paper week wise as you progress through the course. The suggested tasks for each week are:

Week 1: Nursing Biography and The Four Metaparadigms of Nursing
Week 2: Two Practice-specific Concepts, and List of Propositions/Assumptions
Week 3: Due: Concept Synthesis Paper on Personal Nursing Philosophy

Consider the following questions as you complete your various tasks related to this assignment.

(Nursing Practice Conceptual Framework)

1. How do I define and employ the four basic metaparadigms of nursing theory in my professional practice?
2. What are the major concepts I employ that are unique to my professional practice?
3. What philosophies and theories from the literature of nursing and other disciplines/domains are consistent with these concepts?
4. How are the concepts of transcultural nursing, the health promotion model, skill acquisition, role theory, and change theory specifically integrated into my philosophy and practice?
5. What research supports these theories and concepts?
6. How do I integrate role and change theory into my professional practice and how may these theories be applied to the organization in which I practice?

The paper is to be thoroughly researched and well documented, with relevant material from the nursing theorists presented incorporated into the paper. Use the current edition of the APA Manual throughout the paper. Sources should focus on references from nursing theory but may also include conceptual and theoretical material from other professional domains. The paper, excluding references or appendices, is to be limited to 6-10 pages. Writing should be succinct and well organized, as it is impossible for the facilitator to evaluate form and content separately.

Your philosophy/framework is to be given a title that is appropriate to its content and emphasis.

Grading of the paper will be based on the following:

Mood Disorder & Life Changes

(Mood Disorder & Life Changes)

Jeff’s Case 

Jeff is a 16-year-old Hispanic boy. He typically sleeps until noon on days when he does not have school. On school days, it often takes his mother 20 minutes to wake him. He recently moved from another school district and has few friends at the new school. When awake, he typically keeps to himself in his room. Jeff is not interested in school and has few hobbies. His response to most questions is “I don’t care!” He is overweight and keeps food in his room and eats it when he gets hungry at night.

Mark’s Case 

Mark is a 52-year-old Caucasian man. He spends much of his time in bed. He recently lost his job due to his continued tardiness and poor performance. He is receiving unemployment benefits and has not started to look for a new job, as he feels no one will hire him. Mark is divorced and has not dated since his divorce was finalized 6 years ago. He often feels as if nothing matters and there is really “no point in going on.” Mark has lost 15 pounds over the last several months as he often “forgets” to eat.

Review the two cases. Based on the information you learned from your assigned weekly readings from your textbook, respond to the following:

  • Which of the persons may be more prone to a mood disorder? Apply the most current DSM criteria.
  • What else would you need to know to diagnose a mood disorder? Apply the most current DSM criteria.
  • What are the primary causal factors of mood disorders?
  • If either of the persons were to be treated for a disorder, what are some of the treatment strategy risks or consequences?
  • Does the given life stage (childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age) of the person impact your understanding of the causal factors or treatment strategy?

Write your initial response in 1–2 paragraphs. If you refer to research information, cite sources applying APA standards.

Enhancing Care through Complexity

/in , , , /by

Enhancing Care through Complexity

(Enhancing Care through Complexity)

Complex systems in organizational learning refer to intricate networks of interdependent components that exhibit unpredictable behaviors and emergent properties. In such systems, learning is not linear but rather dynamic and adaptive, involving feedback loops and interactions at multiple levels. Organizations operating as complex systems need to continuously adapt and evolve in response to internal and external changes.

Organizational learning within complex systems is characterized by the collective acquisition, sharing, and application of knowledge. It involves recognizing patterns, interpreting data, and experimenting with new approaches. Learning is facilitated through collaboration, open communication, and a culture that encourages experimentation and accepts failures as opportunities for growth.

Key elements of organizational learning in complex systems include:

  1. Feedback Loops: Continuous cycles of feedback help organizations adjust strategies and processes.
  2. Diversity and Inclusion: Diverse perspectives and inclusive practices enhance problem-solving and innovation.
  3. Systems Thinking: Viewing the organization holistically to understand interconnections and dependencies.
  4. Adaptive Capacity: The ability to respond flexibly to changes and uncertainties.

Organizations that thrive in complex environments foster a learning culture that values curiosity, resilience, and the capacity to evolve. This enables them to navigate complexity, leverage collective intelligence, and achieve sustainable success in an ever-changing landscape.

Complex Systems, Organizational Learning, and Improving the Quality of Care” Please respond to the following:

Elaborate on the major reasons why, according to the text, health care systems can be considered complex. Next, argue a case for double-loop against single-loop learning in organizational learning. Support your response with at least one (1) example of the advantages of double-loop learning.

Common industry knowledge dictates that in order to achieve desired outcomes in quality improvement in health care organizations, the leadership must consider multiple factors. Speculate on the main reasons why focusing on processes is a highly regarded practice for improving the performance of health care organizations. Support your response with at least two (2) examples of increased value and / or performance in the researched hospital from the e-Activity.

Origins of Theoretical Frameworks

(Origins of Theoretical Frameworks)

Origin of theory,health and medicine homework help

Question description

Where Did the Theory Come From

This Assignment addresses this course outcome:

2:Explain how theoretical frameworks influence advance.

PurposeThe purpose of this Assignment is to explore how a theorist explicates his or her philosophy and thoughts behind a theoretical field. As in other fields of study, nursing has a plethora of theorists and theories. These theorists have developed their paradigm over time enriching it with research and dialogue with other theorists.

DirectionsYou are going to explore how a theorist of your choice created his or her theory. Did it develop as an acorn becoming a mighty oak over the decades? Did it arrive as a burst of light like the big bang as some believe created our universe? Was it developed from a blueprint like a spaceship where thousands of scholars worked together to create a rocket to the moon? In point of fact, how is a theory developed? This is what we are exploring.

You will pick a theorist who interests you, it does not have to be a nurse theorist. You may also choose from other disciplines such as: behavioral, leadership, business, education, technology.

You will become the theorist immersing yourself in the writings from the earliest mentioned to the most current.

As you read, look at how you (taking on the persona of the theorist) developed the theory.

In thefirst stage, theorizing occurs. This is where you, as the theorist, identify the concepts of what nursing is and is not. Perhaps you questioned what concepts were guiding those in nursing practice and then started to question your role. You started asking yourself, “Where am I in nursing, and where the profession is going? Is there some overarching concept that guides the professional in his or her practice?” This is where you recognize that a theory is needed.

In thesecond stage, syntax is developed. This is where you will define the terms. Look for changing definitions of terms. Consider, for example, Jean Watson. She starts by defining the word “caring.” Within the last ten years she has refined her terminology changing the term caring to caritas. This demonstrates a growth and maturation from decades of research she and other scholars did to produce the theory of caring.

Thethird stageis theory testing. Defined as the phenomena behind the theory that are exposed through research. The definitions of terms are refined. The theorists and other researchers consider whether this theory helps answer questions that arise in practice. This is where your theory is used in by a widening group of researchers. For example, graduate nursing students request the tool you developed while testing your theory.

Thefourth and last stageis evaluation. This is where philosophical debate occurs as the concepts are applied through evidenced based practice in the act of providing nursing care.

Assignment DetailsFor this Assignment, you are going to write an article for a nursing journal explaining how you developed your theory through the four stages (theorizing, syntax, theory testing, and evaluation).Your paper must be 3 to 5 pages, not including the title and reference pages.
