Assignment3: Mystical Experiences

(Assignment3: Mystical Experiences)

Without exception, all religions revere mystics and teachers who have had personal experiences of God beyond the ordinary, everyday reality. Such personal experience of God is called the mystical experience. The word mystical is derived from the Greek muo, meaning to conceal. In a sense, the real manifestation of God is concealed from all but the mystics.

Every religion acknowledges mystics who have reported such direct experience of an indescribable, overpowering reality of God, which cannot be named or spoken of in ordinary terms. Other religions refer to wise men that are adept at detaching themselves from the real world, called sages (Hindu and Buddhism).

The fact that these experiences, as reported, share a certain similarity across cultural and religious boundaries has led some philosophers of religion to speculate whether they may be, in fact, the same experience. Perhaps all religions share a common mystical core at their center. The difference between viewpoints has to do with whether a relationship with a personal god exists.

As used in this course, the term mystic means a person claiming direct experience with God (monotheism) or the Ultimate Reality (Hinduism). Mysticism, in this sense, has nothing to do with crystal balls, tarot cards, Ouija boards, magic, or superstition of any kind. Rather, it is the hidden heart of a major religious tradition.

Please complete an essay of approximately 500 words in length addressing the following questions. Please be sure to include at least one reference with your assignment and use correct APA format for your citations and paper layout.

  1. Define and describe a mystical experience as understood within philosophy or one of the five religions we study in this course.
  2. Mystical experiences are usually life changing to those who experience them. Describe the positive and/or negative experiences of a mystic from the religion you chose in the first question.
  3. What sort of life style is conducive to mystical experiences? Is this kind of life style common in the United States of America? Does the relationship between life style and mystical experiences strengthen or weaken claims of mystical experience?
  4. Are mystical experiences real encounters with the divine, or is something else going on? If real, how so? If something else, what else?

Your response should be at least two pages long. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Transformational Leadership in Healthcare

(Transformational Leadership in Healthcare)

Change Leadership: Risk Management, Safety, & Environment

Youngberg (2011) conveys the transformation needed for effective  health care quality, risk management, and regulatory compliance on  behalf of health care leaders following the release of IOM reports (p.  293). The author stresses the importance of learning from other  industries, constructing high reliability organizations (p. 294),  developing trust and transparency (p. 296), promoting justice and  accountability (p.298), and committing to a culture of safety (p. 300);  additionally, Youngberg emphasizes the new principles for high  reliability-high performing health care organizations (p. 302).

In your initial post to this discussion:

  • Describe how transformational leaders can initiate change that  involves one or more of the concepts discussed in this unit’s readings.
  • Provide additional insights relating to leadership within the changing environment of the health care industry.
  • Include a minimum of two peer-reviewed, current journal articles in your discussion of insights.

In your initial post, include APA-formatted in-text citations and accompanying, congruent APA-formatted references.

Response Guidelines

Respond to the posts of other learners according to the Faculty  Expectations Response Guidelines. If possible, respond to one learner  who has a perspective, background, or goals that are similar to yours,  and to one learner whose perspective, background, or goals are  different. Peer responses should be substantive, and need to include one  peer-reviewed source that aligns with the discussion thread. You may  feel free to add an additional source that is new or provides a  completely different perspective. “I agree” and “Thanks for sharing your  insights” are examples of responses that do not contribute content for  enhanced learning, and are not acceptable. The goal is quality,  substantive feedback that demonstrates higher-order critical thinking  and evaluation of peers’ initial posts.

Ethical Case Study Analysis

Ethical Case Study Analysis

(Ethical Case Study Analysis)

Materials Needed:

Case Study:

James is a community counseling student who is interning with the College Counseling Center at the local university. James is a 25 year-old Caucasian male, who attended a private high school in a small rural town. In terms of being a counselor, James admits that one of his challenges is that he has not experienced much diversity in his relationships. He states that this is not a significant issue because he plans on opening a private practice in his hometown as soon as he graduates. Since he knows the town he doesn’t feel that this is a big deal. Also, in terms of finding clients, James states that he is sure he will be able to get referrals because his father works for the town newspaper and will run an ad as soon as he moves home.

James admits he has no clinical experience but is pleased, upon arriving at his internship site, to see that his ex-girlfriend is going to be his assigned clinical supervisor. Since they have not seen each other in years, James figures that meeting once a week will give them a good opportunity to catch up on old times. James also figures that she could continue to supervise him in private practice until he receives his license. James is relieved because he knows she wont mind, since he will be graduating in nine months, if he puts her credential, Licensed Professional Counselor, after his name since she is supervising him.

After discussing private practice, James asks his ex-girlfriend if he can begin to see clients right away because he is anxious to get experience and begin working on his practice. Since she figured he would be a pretty good counselor, she agreed and paired him up with Lisa, a 21 year-old Latina female.

During the first session, James was running late and was unable to fully cover all of the intake documents with Lisa. He put them aside and said, We dont really need to review these. It is just paperwork required by the Center. Please sign here.As the counseling session continued, James thought he might have recognized symptoms associated with depression including decreased motivation, loss of appetite and overall dissatisfaction. He thought about bringing these up with his supervisor but forgot once he left the session.

James continued to meet with Lisa. The first few sessions focused mainly on her recent break-up with her boyfriend and the resulting academic difficulties. She was very concerned that her career dream of becoming a lawyer may be in jeopardy.

In the third session, Lisa casually mentioned that she began to experience depressive symptoms as a child when her mother’s partner began to physically abuse her at the age of 5½ years. Lisa told her mother about the abuse, but she did not intervene. Shortly after the physical abuse began, the man began to also sexually abuse her. Once again, Lisa reported this to her mother and also to a teacher at her school, but nothing was ever done. Lisa reported that when she was 7, she placed an unknown prescription medication of her mother’s into this man’s alcoholic drink. Later that same day, the man experienced a stroke and was rushed to the hospital where he later died. Lisa also reported learning that her mother’s partner’s stroke and subsequent death were related to the combination of prescription medication and alcohol. The client has never told anyone other than James that she had placed medication in this man’s drink.

Health Promotion Program Design

Health Promotion Program Design

(Health Promotion Program Design)

 

Designing an effective health promotion program requires a comprehensive and strategic approach to address specific health needs within a community. The initial step is conducting a thorough needs assessment to identify the key health issues, risk factors, and target population. This involves collecting and analyzing data from various sources, including surveys, focus groups, and public health records.

Next, setting clear, measurable objectives is crucial. These objectives should align with the overarching goals of improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities. The program should incorporate evidence-based interventions tailored to the target population’s needs and cultural context.

Community engagement is vital for the program’s success. Involving community members in the planning and implementation phases ensures that the program is relevant, culturally sensitive, and more likely to be accepted and sustained. Additionally, forming partnerships with local organizations, healthcare providers, and stakeholders can enhance resources and support.

Effective health promotion programs also require a robust evaluation framework to monitor progress and outcomes. This involves setting up mechanisms for regular data collection, analysis, and feedback to make necessary adjustments. Finally, securing sustainable funding and resources is essential to ensure the program’s longevity and continuous impact on community health.

 

In this assignment, you will expand on ideas for diabetes management by writing a comprehensive, holistic plan of health promotion and disease prevention that addresses the needs of individuals in the Latino population. First, identify the best health care promotion theory (Pender’s health promotion model) and best practices to use with your chosen population. Next, explain your health promotion plan and describe how it will be implemented, evaluated, and monitored.

Include the following components in your assignment:

1. Justify, based on researched evidence, the best health care promotion theory, practices and approaches to health care promotion, addressing the identified health care concerns in your chosen population.

2. Discern how the holistic health promotion plan will promote quality patient outcomes and cost-effective health care.

3. Describe the strategy for implementing the health promotion plan.

4. Explain how you will monitor and evaluate the plan for quality improvement.

5. Explain how the plan would affect and be adapted in at least two different health care delivery settings, such as acute care settings, ambulatory care settings, managed and integrated care settings, or other settings.

Question description

Respond to these two discussions.

A) By Allyssa

The purpose of Evidence-based practice (EBP) is to improve quality of care and patient outcomes to reduce not just the costs of care across healthcare but also to provide better service for our patients and for the betterment of healthcare (Melnyk, 2015). Over the past 10 weeks, I have to be very honest, it was really an intense and very challenging one. Coming and graduating from a different country was one of the few barriers I encountered this semester. I took my last research subject almost 10 years ago now, and it was not really fun being blindsided on how to get through things, especially when the subject became so technical and I had to involve statistics in as well. I had to re-educate myself or at least I tried to really read articles and previous notes so I can move more forward each week. I also get anxious as weeks pass by because I know for myself that I can do better if I know the right tools, the right approach with the right guidance. It took me 4 weeks in class before I realized that I really need a refresher course since I started off wrong and my research question was not approved right away. Now I plan to enroll myself in an Excel short class because on the last week assignment it made me realize how important it is to know Excel. It’s a great tool, and I will be able to utilize it well enough in the position I currently hold, which is currently related to nursing leadership. I want to thank everyone, most especially Dr. Diana, for extending their patience when it comes to my posts.

I wish everyone Good luck and Congratulations in advance.

B) By Samantha

Reflecting on this class took me through a lot of thoughts. I was overwhelmed at the beginning and several times through the process I wasn’t sure what I had gotten myself into. A research project or paper is a multi-step process that needs lots of time to complete. Each week the information provided by Dr. Diana was informational, and the discussion questions helped me with the week assignments. Picking my topic was not difficult for me, patients present to the ER in pain all the time. I decided that picking a topic related closely to the field I work in now and may possibly work in the future would benefit my research project. Looking for literature was not my favorite part, but I will say that I enjoyed reading about my topic and the different studies that have already been completed. Evidence-based practice is the groundwork for nursing, and the more research that is completed, the better we can provide the most effective care and improve patient outcomes (Turner, 2017). There will always be ethical issues in nursing. Protecting our patients is a goal for all nurses. Providing the best care for any situation is also a priority. A difficult portion of the research process was the statistics. Picking a proper test and process to analyze the research data was difficult, to say the least. I am certain that I am more comfortable with nursing research now at the end of this course.

In my career as an ER nurse, there is no research being currently done in my department or at the facility where I work. I am hoping that once I complete this program I will be able to use the knowledge I gained from this nursing research class in my career as a nurse practitioner.

I love the nursing field for the fact that we can learn something new every day, we can care for our patients on their best or worst day, and nothing beats the feeling of caring for a patient and seeing what a difference you made in their lives or care.

Thank you, class, for your responses to my posts and questions. Thank you, Dr. Diana, for leading this research course and providing us with information to succeed.
