Quantifying Public Health Problems

(Quantifying Public Health Problems)

Using EBPH to Define and Quantify the Extent of the Public Health Problem

Note: Your response and comments to this assignment will be laying the foundation for work that you will later complete as part of your final project.

A clear statement of the issue provides a concrete basis for a priority setting process that is objective. This then leads to better program planning, intervention, and evaluation. A fully articulated issue statement includes a complete description of the problem, potential solutions, data sources, and health-related outcomes.

In order to provide a complete description of the problem, the problem must first be quantified. In quantifying the health issue or disease, the application of the appropriate epidemiologic tools is necessary to obtain the answers to certain questions while conducting the community assessment. The community assessment should include the health condition or risk factor being considered, the population affected, the size and scope of the problem, prevention opportunities, and potential stakeholders. This task requires basic epidemiologic skills to obtain additional information about the frequency of the health condition or risk factor in an affected population.

Going back to the public health problem, issue, situation, or concern that you identified for W1: Assignment 3, develop a concise statement of your problem. Your statement must be clear and well-articulated including a description of the problem, potential solutions, data sources, and health-related outcomes. The statement of your problem will serve as the basis for your research purpose or objective, which will be very critical in the application of the evidence-based process which in turn leads to better program planning, program intervention, and program evaluation.

  1. Using the strategies and concepts taught for searching, evaluating, and retrieving EBPH resources and literature, identify five (5) peer-reviewed scientific articles that have information that can be used to quantify the extent of your specific health problem. Ensure that none of these articles are more than 5 years old.
  2. Analyze and evaluate three of the five articles with the intent to quantify the extent of your public health problem, issue, situation, or concern.
  3. Use the epidemiology training and skills from the course to assess the extent of your problem, issue, situation, or concern by identifying and evaluating the risk factors being considered, the population affected, the size and scope of the problem, prevention opportunities, and potential stakeholders from the three peer-reviewed articles.
  4. As part of quantifying the public health condition, obtain the disease rates of the health condition or risk factor in an affected population and analyze and assess if any patterns of the disease exist within subgroups of the defined population.

Utilize assigned and suggested weekly readings, the South University online library, the Internet readings, and references to search, evaluate, and retrieve relevant EBPH literature to support your responses.

Mental Health Diagnosis & Culture

/in , , , /by

Discussion 1: Mental Health Diagnosis & Culture

(Mental Health Diagnosis & Culture)

Cultures vary in their approach to addressing individuals living with a mental illness. As a clinical social worker, it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate an unhealthy behavior from a cultural belief. A certain behavior by an individual that is acceptable in his or her culture may seem abnormal or unhealthy by an individual from another culture.

Another important aspect in understanding the culture of an individual living with a mental illness is stigmatization. In some cultures, the individual is no longer accepted and thus becomes isolated. Most times this is due to a lack of understanding of mental illness and underlying cultural beliefs within the population. This is when cultural competence skills become critical when working with individuals living with a mental illness.

As a clinical social worker, you need to be cognizant of the fact that people from different cultures have different viewpoints about mental illness. This will help you form effective relationships with the clients and their family members from various cultures and produce effective interventions.

For this Discussion, search the library for an article on cultural factors relevant to addressing mental illness and analyze the approach provided in the article. Then consider how you as a social worker might apply cultural competence when working with clients with a mental illness. Refer to the “Cultural Formulation Interview” in the DSM-5 while considering applying cultural competence when working with clients with a mental illness. Finally, consider the types of barriers you might encounter when working with a client from a different culture when addressing a mental health diagnosis.

·      Post a brief summary of the article you selected and explain the approach the article suggests for addressing cultural influences of individuals with mental illness.

 ·      Then explain how you, as a social worker, might utilize the “Cultural Formulation Interview” in the DSM-5 to apply cultural competence skills when working with clients who need help managing a mental illness.

 ·      Finally, explain how acculturation affects an individual psychologically and socioculturally and describe a strategy you would implement as a social worker to help with the process.

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

 Group Wiki Part 1: DSM-5

In this program, you have been introduced to wikis and have experienced the value of collaborating with other students in constructing a space of information. Wikis allow students to engage in the subject matter more freely and provides a designated open area where important resources are collected. With multiple students researching and exploring a topic, the learning experience is broadened.

During the course, you will collaborate with your classmates to create a wiki on your assigned mental disorder. Four weeks within this course include an assignment that instructs you on an area of focus for each part of the wiki. To complete the wiki assignments, you are to collaborate with your group members and create a comprehensive, informative submission. The information you post may include the following:

·       A quotation from a course reading or video that addresses the weekly topic

·       A URL that links to a website containing relevant information

For this assignment, you have been randomly assigned to groups and designated one of the following specific mental disorders listed in the DSM-5:

 ·       Group B: F40.00 Agoraphobia

 To prepare for your Group Wiki, review the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for your assigned mental disorder on the Group Wiki. Search the literature and mainstream media on the stigma related to your assigned mental disorder. Use Corrigan’s (2004) frame of the four social cognitive processes of stigma in researching your topic. Conduct research to identify the impact of this diagnosis on an individual’s life and its effect on the individual’s decision to seek treatment.

 For this Assignment, collaborate with your group to write a 500- to 750-word wiki, being sure to use proper APA format for any citations.

In addition to a minimum of three scholarly references, which may include electronic government documents and reputable websites, your group wiki should include the following:

 ·       The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for your assigned mental health condition

·       Information that will give a better understanding of how an individual living with this disorder perceives this diagnosis and how it affects seeking treatment

 Discussion 2:
Policies and Social Problems

Why is it important for social workers to understand policy? When you think of policies, you may tend to think of the federal policies that support services such as Medicare and state policies that support education and welfare services. However, sometimes the policies that have the greatest impact on clients are the policies of agencies and organizations.

Note: An “agency or organizational policy” is a policy. For example, it might be part of a county welfare agency that requires an administrator at a juvenile correction facility to report any individual that is an illegal immigrant that comes to that facility.

 In this Discussion, you will identify a policy at an agency or organization with which you are familiar. It can be a public agency, a for-profit human service provider, or a not-for-profit community agency. Describe the organization, the policy, and the social problem it addresses.

Post the policy at an agency or organization with which you are familiar. Describe the organization, the policy, and the social problem it addresses.

Speech Written Assignment,
2- presentation, English homework help

(Speech Written Assignmen)

Question description

1. Speech Written Assignment: Final Outline, Description of Visuals, and References
2. From the speech written assignment, I need this, creating a PowerPoint Presentation Audio Recording Using the Narration Feature (you can provide me audio narration of each slide in word file )

The tasks associated with the presentation are an outline, reference page, and PowerPoint presentation with visual aids.

From a task perspective, you will need to identify a topic and have it approved by your instructor. Consider how you might adapt your presentation to your audience when preparing your presentation.

Next, begin your research and consider how you will narrow your topic by creating a general goal, and then a specific goal that will meet the needs of your audience. Then establish an effective thesis statement that must be written as a complete sentence. Once you know where your speech is headed, outline the body of your speech. Then add a strong introduction and conclusion. Create visual aids that will enhance the audience’s understanding of your material or that will make your presentation more memorable. Determine how you will transition between main ideas and slides. Finally, practice and deliver your presentation.

(Speech Written Assignmen)

Let’s recap what is involved in this speech project. You will need to select a topic and have it approved by your instructor. Then you will do research and create a rough draft of the speech outline for yourself. Be sure to spend enough time polishing up the final version of your outline for your speech.

Be sure to include the information you found during your research and investigation in the body of your outline, and organize it in a visually pleasing manner. Break out each main idea you will use in the body of your outline and presentation. Show some type of division like levels of headers or titles and then separate sections that are labeled and indented for the outline; state the main idea, state major subpoints in each main idea, and provide evidence for each subpoint. Cite your evidence, quotes, and statistics using APA format.

Finally, you will create a PowerPoint presentation and record your speech with the PowerPoint narration feature. Your narrated PowerPoint presentation is due by the end of Week 6.

Each student is required toobtain a headset microphone. In addition, all students should take the time to review the PowerPoint narration tutorials in the iConnect Resources under Course Home so they will be ready to complete their speech on time. Of course, if you face technical trouble, there is support available.

It will be necessary for all students to have a headset microphone to use iConnect PowerPoint narration. This will be the only additional equipment necessary to be successful in the course. Headset microphones can be purchased at any electronics or discount store for between $12–25 or even less. When purchasing a headset microphone, students should consider the ports available on the computer being used and purchase accordingly.

Assignment 1: Outline Guidelines(Speech Written Assignmen)

Outlines must be six to seven pages in length (this would be roughly one to two pages per area included in the outline), 10-point font, double spaced, including these five sections:

Title Page (title of speech, name of presenter, audience prepared for – school or institution, date): You can use this information to create your first slide in PowerPoint.

Table of Contents: Include final outline (general goal, specific goal, thesis statement sentence, introduction paragraph, full sentence outline), conclusion paragraph, description of visuals (images for PowerPoint), and APA references.

General goal, specific goal, thesis statement, introduction paragraph, body of the outline in sentence format (one to two pages)

Summary or conclusion paragraph (one to two pages)

Visuals description plan – images for the PowerPoint slides, by slide number if known (one to two pages)

Four or more authoritative, outside references are required (anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable). References must be written in APA format with hanging indents, in alphabetical order, and with everything double spaced. The word references should not be formatted. Include copyrighted image resources in this list. See the APA tutorial in the Syllabus. Call a DeVry librarian for help with APA formatting. You can copy and paste this to use as the last slide in your PowerPoint.

NOTE: Do not copy and paste your table of contents, final outline, or visuals description plan into your PowerPoint slides! Your speech slides must be created as a meaningful presentation. Use a few bullets for each slide with one phrase or one sentence for each bullet. Do not put any paragraphs into the slides.

Any questions about this assignment may be discussed in the weekly Q & A Discussion topic.

Assignment 2: Speech Guidelines

Creating a PowerPoint Presentation Audio Recording Using the Narration Feature(Speech Written Assignmen)

You are required to deliver a graded oral presentation for this course. You will deliver your presentation to your audience through use of the audio narration feature built into Microsoft PowerPoint. You need a microphone and computer speakers to make the recording.

Creating the PowerPoint Audio Recording

Follow these steps to create and record your PowerPoint audio presentation.

·  Open MS PowerPoint; create your PowerPoint slides and then save them.

·  Go to the Slide Show tab located in the top menu.

o  Make sure that you have your microphone correctly set up before continuing to the next step. Tip:Set the volume control as high as it can go.

·  Click on the “Record Narration” option.

·  A pop-up window will appear. The default settings in this window are sufficient so click on “OK” to continue.

o  Note: If you click on “Set Microphone Level” and get an error message, please review the microphone section under the Resources area located at the bottom of this page.

·  The PowerPoint slideshow will start automatically. Just speak into your microphone to record your audio.

o  Note: To avoid sound loss, do not talk during slide transitions. Each slide is recorded separately.

·  When you finish the presentation, a dialog box will appear asking if you want to save the slide timing: Click on “Save” to save the timing, along with your audio.

·  Remember to save your PowerPoint file as a standard .pptx file before continuing to the next step.

·  Next, save your PowerPoint again, this time as a “PowerPoint Show” (.pps) or (.ppsx) file. This is different than saving a standard PowerPoint file, because a PowerPoint Show is the output or slideshow rather than the full file.

o  Click on the Office button in the upper left-hand menu of PowerPoint.

o  Choose “Save As” –> “PowerPoint Show.”

Discussion Questions IV:

All assignments MUST be typed, double-spaced, in APA style and must be written at graduate level English. You must integrate the material presented in the text to support your discussion, citing in APA format. Outside sources may be used to support the text information, but not replace the text.

Your response to each question should be 1- 1 ½ pages per question. Assignment should be 6-9 pages total plus a title and reference page

  1. B.  F. Skinner has been criticized for proposing a model of human  functioning that negates the possibility that humans can exert free  will. Explain how human thought (cognition) could support claims of free  will in Skinner’s model. Be sure to define free will in such a system.
  2. We sometimes see rabbits and dinosaurs in cloud formations. Do Gestalt principles help to explain this and, if so, how?
  3. In  light of the growing interest in evolutionary explanations for  behavior, why does Freud’s emphasis on biological needs and drives seem  reasonable or unreasonable?
  4. Identify themes in the works of Carl Jung that seem consistent with contemporary cross-cultural approaches to psychology.
  5. The  story of the blind men and the elephant is an ancient parable from the  Indian subcontinent. In it, each blind man in a group touches just one  part of an elephant to learn what it is. When they compare notes, they  realize they disagree completely about what an elephant “is.” Compare  this parable to the humanistic movement in psychology.
  6. Medicine  is a practice that has always been rooted in biology of the body—its  structure, form, chemistry. As our knowledge of the importance of the  brain in behavior grows, it seems that psychiatry, a branch of medicine,  is the discipline best suited for the study of mental disorders. Is  there a role for clinical psychology in furthering our understanding of  mental illness?

Assignment Outcomes

Examine the roots, theories, and relevance of major trends in modern psychology

Explore the evolution of ideas within philosophy and psychology

Examine the ways in which worldviews (religious, political, moral, and psychological) shape psychological frameworks

Diagnostic Reasoning: Acute Illness

/in , , , /by

Diagnostic Reasoning: Acute Illness

(Diagnostic Reasoning: Acute Illness)

Diagnostic reasoning for acute illness involves a systematic approach to identify the underlying cause of a patient’s sudden symptoms. The process begins with a thorough patient history to gather information about the onset, duration, and severity of symptoms, as well as any relevant medical history, medications, allergies, and exposure to infectious agents or toxins. Physical examination follows, focusing on vital signs and targeted assessments of affected systems.

Clinicians use this information to generate a differential diagnosis list, considering the most likely and serious conditions first. Diagnostic tests, including blood work, imaging studies, and specialized tests, are ordered based on the initial assessment to confirm or rule out potential diagnoses.

Clinicians also employ pattern recognition and clinical guidelines to compare patient presentations with known disease profiles. They continually reassess the patient’s condition, integrating new data from tests and the clinical course to refine the diagnosis. This iterative process helps to ensure that the most accurate and timely diagnosis is reached, guiding effective treatment decisions.

Critical thinking, clinical experience, and evidence-based practice are essential in this process, as they help balance the need for rapid decision-making with the thorough evaluation necessary to manage acute illnesses effectively. Collaboration with specialists and multidisciplinary teams can also enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

Reflections on Nursing Theory

(Reflections on Nursing Theory)

Nursing theory serves as the backbone of the profession, providing a framework for understanding and guiding nursing practice. It encapsulates the core values, beliefs, and principles that shape the discipline, helping nurses navigate complex patient care scenarios with clarity and purpose. By integrating various theories, nurses can tailor their approach to individual patients, fostering holistic care that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Furthermore, nursing theory evolves in response to societal changes, technological advancements, and emerging healthcare challenges. It adapts to incorporate new knowledge and perspectives, ensuring relevance and efficacy in contemporary healthcare settings. Moreover, nursing theory fosters critical thinking and innovation among nurses, encouraging them to question assumptions, explore new ideas, and contribute to the advancement of the profession.

Ultimately, nursing theory enriches the practice by providing a conceptual foundation for nursing care, promoting professionalism, and enhancing patient outcomes. It inspires nurses to uphold the highest standards of care, compassion, and integrity, reaffirming their commitment to promoting health and healing in diverse communities.

Week8 Ref Health(Reflections on Nursing Theory)

Prompt: Your reflective journal for this week is your response to the session with Dr. Craigie with incorporation of the content of Chapter 4 in the Craigie book.

Summary:
The purpose of the reflective exercises is to allow for analysis, synthesis and evaluation of nursing theory using guided questions. Reflection has been referred to as a process that happens internally, privately or in isolation (Hill & Watson, 2011). Also, reflection has been referred to as the examination of an issue of concern, as a consequence of experience, creating clarity and meaning in terms of self, and which results in a change of perspective ( Boyd & Fales, 1983).
