Make sure to thoroughly discuss the 2-3 points you’ve decided to focus on.  Ask yourself how a learning theorist might view a certain psychiatric disorder, so you might pick apart the criteria needed to diagnose a particular disorder and discuss it through the lens of learning theory and contrast that with another theorist. Use your critical thinking skills to discuss different learning theories and how they apply to counseling and interventions. How might they differ from each other when it comes to counseling? How are they similar?

As always, please let me know if any part of any discussion or assignment isn’t clear.

Nursing: Evidence-Based Practice

(Nursing: Evidence-Based Practice)

Description:

Reflect on the research articles you have reviewed to date that relate to your clinical question. Please refer to all the unit resources (e.g., readings, recordings, announcements, etc.) to facilitate this process. With these thoughts in mind, post your thoughts on the following:

  1. In the articles you have reviewed, what statistical tests are being used for data analysis?
  2. Are the statistical tests being used appropriately for the type of data being produced and the question being asked?
  3. Do the authors appropriately indicate implications of the data analysis, or do they overstretch?

In the articles that have I reviewed listed below, I need to know what statistical tests are being used for data analysis?

· A key study for my PICOT project is titled “How Accurate are Self-Reports? An Analysis of Self-Reported Healthcare Utilization and Absence When Compared to Administrative Data” (Koerner & Zhang, 2017).  The authors evaluated the data using Pearson’s correlation and multivariate logistic regression models.

·  Correlation is a statistical method used to assess a possible linear association between two continuous variables, while Pearson’s correlation coefficient is a test statistics measuring the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables (Mahan, Clark, Anderson, Koller, & Gates, 2017).. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) is a measure of the strength of the association between the two variables; it is the best method of measuring the association between variables of interest because it is based on the method of covariance, and covariance is a measure of the joint variability of two random variables (Koerner et al., 2017). If the data is normally distributed, in other words, bell-shaped, and symmetrical about the mean, tests such as the histogram, and normality tests may be used to evaluate if the distribution is normal (McCrum-Gardner, 2008).

· Are the statistical tests being used appropriately for the type of data being produced and the question being asked?

· The majority of studies may be evaluated with the proper evaluation of over 100 statistical tests to choose from. Tests are chosen depending on the type of research questions being asked, the type of data being analyzed, and the number of data sets or groups being evaluated.

· The first question to be asked is what scale of measurement the data will be, nominal, ordinal, or interval. The study in question involves interval data. The second question is the reason for the analysis; as an example, paired groups or independent groups?

· Yes, the statistical tests are appropriate for the type of data being produced, and for the type of questions being asked.

· Do the authors appropriately indicate implications of the data analysis, or do they overstretch? 

· Based on our readings and videos, I saw no evidence of data-stretching. For example, data was collected over two calendar years, a lengthy, non-selective inclusion period. A potential confounding factor was that all participants had to have been enrolled in the company health insurance program a minimum of 320 days as a condition of inclusion in the study. Another potential confounding factor was that only hourly employees were included in the two-year study. In addition, pregnant employees were excluded from the study, as these employees are atypical of the general employee population in that their healthcare utilization would be temporarily altered. These factors may have influenced the results, by excluding participants with different reporting habits. After recognizing these potential limitations, their findings mirrored multiple studies previously conducted.

· The authors also noted potential improvements for future studies, including inclusion of a more diverse employee population, and examining why there exists a difference in self-reporting based on participant sex.

Types of Statistical use(Nursing: Evidence-Based Practice)

There were six articles retrieved on my PICOT question, (3) were quantitative research, (1) is a mixed method, (2) qualitative research, and (1 )integrative review. The (3) quantitative research were critically appraised and used the following statistical analysis; central standard tendency (mean, median, mode), a probability value to test the significance of results, binomial regression, and binomial distribution, chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and measures of standard deviation. Lastly, a study about changing Intensive Care Unit (ICU) culture to reduce CAUTI the research study used statistical process control charts to see the process of improvement in the reduction of catheter-associated infection post-implementation (Maxwell, Murphy and McGettigan, 2018).

Appropriateness of the statistical test (Nursing: Evidence-Based Practice)

The purpose or hypothesis of the study is in the introduction of each literature. The research question aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the CAUTI bundle in the pediatric intensive care unit and adult intensive care unit. To provide patient safety, the use of an appropriate statistical tool in research is essential. According to McCrum-Gardner (2007), using the right scale of measurement will convey accurate results in research.  One research study use sample size is 390 (nominal) children ages from 1 month to 18 years old and admitted in the ICU for 48 hours that needed foley catheter insertion. The exclusions are positive urine culture and less than 48 hours of ICU admission. In addition, the Categorial variable is analyzed using X2 or Fisher exact test. The prevalence rate was calculated using the number of disease within the specified time over the population under risk x 100. The research study shows Foley catheter utilization was calculated by dividing the total number of device days by the total number of patient days (Sönmez Düzkaya, Bozkurt, Uysal, and Yakut,2016). Moreover, the three quantitative research use an appropriate tool and results show that daily CAUTI BUNDLE implementation and changing ICU culture regarding the standard practice showed a significant reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infection in pediatric ICU and adult ICU.

Conclusion(Nursing: Evidence-Based Practice)

The implication of the research study indicates that prevention of CAUTI with the use of CAUTI bundle checklist and application of process improvement had a significant impact on the decreasing morbidity, mortality and healthcare cost. Also, the length of study allowed the researchers to see a significant, consistent change in the reduction of CAUTI.

Philosophical Viewpoints: Social Welfare

/in , , /by

HUM 220 – Philosophical Viewpoints On Social Welfare Policies

(Philosophical Viewpoints: Social Welfare)

HUM 220 delves into the philosophical underpinnings of social welfare policies, examining various viewpoints on the role of government and society in providing assistance to those in need. The course explores classical and contemporary philosophical theories that inform the development and implementation of social welfare programs.

One perspective often discussed is that of utilitarianism, which emphasizes the greatest good for the greatest number. Utilitarians argue that social welfare policies should be designed to maximize overall happiness and well-being, even if it means redistributing resources from the wealthy to the less fortunate.

On the other hand, libertarianism advocates for minimal government intervention in social welfare, emphasizing individual liberty and voluntary charity over compulsory taxation and redistribution. Libertarians argue that excessive government involvement can infringe upon personal freedoms and stifle economic growth.

Additionally, the course may examine perspectives from communitarianism, which emphasizes the importance of community and social cohesion in addressing welfare needs, and feminism, which critiques traditional welfare policies for neglecting the specific needs of women and marginalized groups.

Through critical analysis and discussion, students in HUM 220 explore the strengths and weaknesses of these philosophical viewpoints, considering their implications for social justice, equality, and the overall well-being of society. By engaging with these diverse perspectives, students gain a deeper understanding of the complex ethical dilemmas inherent in social welfare policy-making.

(HUM 220 – Philosophical Viewpoints On Social Welfare Policies)

In this assignment, you will examine the ideological struggles that underlie policymaking in the United States. This includes the following:

  • The historical legacy of fear of a strong central government and how this fear has influenced the development of the US Constitution.
  • The ideological divisions in the United States’ politics which fall primarily along a Conservative–Liberal continuum.

Research areas of social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Select an area of social welfare policy in which you are interested. Respond to the following:

  • Identify the aspects of the policy that reflect a conservative perspective and the aspects that reflect a liberal perspective.
  • Explain the impact of the mixed ideological foundation on the focus and structure of the policy.

The political ideologies of a country are very specific to its cultural history. Keeping this in mind, respond to the following:

  • Discuss how the policymaking of one other country aligns with or differs from the United States due to its cultural history.
  • Provide examples to explain why the policymaking is similar or different.

Write your initial response in 300–400 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Cover the following items in your posts:

  • Provide a statement of clarification.
  • Provide a point of view with rationale.
  • Challenge a point of discussion, or draw a relationship between one or more points of the discussion.

The type of research design for this question would be quantitative as it is using numerical objective data that deduces the effects of either the use of soap and water versus an alcohol-based-rub; utilizing causality in which it gives a cause and effect (Grave, Grove, & Sutherland, 2017, pp. 192-194).  “Quantitative research may be interventional or nonintervention…. Interventional designs test the effect of an intentional action, called an intervention, on a measured result” (Grave, Grove, & Sutherland, 2017, p. 192). Therefore, this theory would be interventional as it explores specifically the effects of using soap/water against the use of an alcohol-based-rub.

This design was chosen as it specifically meets the criteria to be classified as quantitative methodology utilizing interventional design.  In a specific clinical trial by Clinicaltrials.gov it identifies the design as interventional regarding the investigation of efficacy of water/soap and alcohol-based-rub for surgical hand preparation (2012).

For patients of 70 years and older, how effective is the use of the influenza vaccine at preventing flu as compared to patients who have not received the vaccine?

The research design would be quantitative and interventional as this theoretical question uses statistical data that numerically defines the impact of the flu vaccine on the prevention of developing the flu of elderly persons.

Rational for choosing this design is that it encompasses the criteria for a quantitative design as it approaches the problem in “black and white” and gives statistical data to prove or disprove the impact of the flu vaccine on the elderly population in regards to the prevention of the flu.  Within the study findings by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within a study that addressed all ages and further delineated those aged greater than 65 years. The findings of the study concluded for all participants of the study by the CDC (2018) as follows, “Vaccine effectiveness was estimated as 100% x (1 – odds ratio [ratio of odds of being vaccinated among outpatients with influenza-positive test results to the odds of being vaccinated among outpatients with influenza-negative test results]); odds ratios were estimated using logistic regression.
Statistically significant at the p<0.05 level” (table 2).

What is the difference in attitudes of male and female college students toward condoms?

Research design in relation to the attitudes towards condoms for female and male college students would be qualitative design as it allows for open ended responses that can lead to further theory development.

Rational for choosing this design is that this theoretical question seeks to garner further information and understanding into the college studies prior experiences, attitudes, beliefs, and their personal preferences.  The question is open-ended allowing for the exploration of the various attitudes regarding the usage of condoms from the female and male perspective.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Design

Quantitative Design:  Strengths to the quantitative design are that findings can be generalized to the public, samples participants can be selected to represent the population studied, provides clear documentation, allows for replication of the study, and offers the ability to control the effects of extraneous variables that may affect the interpretations of causality.  Weakness may include difficulty obtaining data, errors in self-report via questionnaires, method of research is inflexible, data that is reduced to numerical value can result in a loss of information, untested variables can account for discrepancies in findings, and erroneous or skewed findings (InterAction, n.d.a).

Qualitative Design:  Strengths of the qualitative design include the flexibility/evolution of the theory, holistic view of the theoretical question, greater number of participants allows for greater understanding in view of a complex question, and narrative reports are better understood than statistical data.  Weaknesses involve the lack of clarity may be frustrating, does not allow for generalizations, lack of consensus in evidence, interpretation is too subjective, and questionable validity (InterAction, n.d.b).

Conditioning Analysis & Behavioral Responses

/in , , /by

Conditioning Analysis & Behavioral Responses

(Conditioning Analysis & Behavioral Responses)

Conditioning analysis refers to the study of how organisms learn to associate stimuli with particular behaviors or responses through repeated exposure. Two main types of conditioning are classical and operant conditioning.

In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus, eliciting a response. For example, Pavlov’s dogs learned to associate the sound of a bell with food, causing them to salivate at the sound alone.

Operant conditioning, on the other hand, involves learning through consequences. Behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on the consequences they produce. For instance, a rat learns to press a lever for a food reward in Skinner’s experiments.

Behavioral responses to conditioning vary depending on factors such as the strength of the association, the timing of stimuli, and the individual’s previous experiences. These responses can range from automatic physiological reactions to complex learned behaviors.

Understanding conditioning and behavioral responses has applications in various fields, including psychology, education, and animal training. By manipulating stimuli and consequences, practitioners can shape behaviors, treat phobias, and enhance learning outcomes. Additionally, insights from conditioning analysis contribute to our understanding of human and animal cognition, helping us comprehend how learning shapes behavior in diverse contexts.
