As a pathway to optimal living, wellness is being applied to related fields, such as health promotion and holistic health, and has seen a growth in “helping professions” including counseling and medical arts and practices. The National Wellness Institute devised three questions that can help persons and organizations assess the degree to which wellness is incorporated into a particular approach or program: 1. Does this help people achieve their full potential? 2. Does this recognize and address the whole person (multi-dimensional approach)? 3. Does this affirm and mobilize peoples’ positive qualities and strengths? C. You can reference your behavior change( eating healthier) and the areas of wellness that you would like to change.

Barriers to the implementation of the surgical safety check list Critical review

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

The easy way to start this is by: “I have selected this issue from my workplace because….” It supposed to be an issue not a topic, The issues are: – there still remains a dismissive attitude by some of the team members toward the check list regarding its influence on patient safety. – Unfortunately this negative attitude towards surgical safety check list is often linked to surgeons and anesthetists.

– The surgical check list generates some confusion over who in the team is ultimately accountable for items on the check list, the team member who i is answering the question, or the one who sign the check list. This leading to the tension between team members and the differing opinions of the value of the check list. This has negative impact on the team work. – The last stage of the check list is the sign out and it seems to be an area of concern( anaesthetist busy with extubation, surgical team concentrating on counting the swabs and instruments than on the whole process) Identifying solution: _ The area of staff perceptions of safety is a complex and is closely linked to communication and team work. -The staff need to fully understand the purpose of the surgical check list (Deliver appropriate and effective training to staff, including leadership training. These training sessions should be designed to remind theatre staff the correct way of using the check list). – Key points in doing this is that education must be continual and multidisciplinary. critically generating an evidence base, concluding with what is best practice for your issue

The increase in Autism

Your proposal will look very much like a research article except that you are not actually conducting the research, just proposing it. The proposal should be written in APA style and format. Include all of the sections specified below.

1. Title page: The title should indicate the hypothesis to be tested. The hypothesis can be stated at the conceptual level or the research level, but it should give the reader an honest impression of what the study aims to investigate. The title should appear on its own page.

2. Abstract: The abstract is a distillation of the entire project. Best practices dictate that it should be written last, even though it appears first in the final manuscript. The abstract should include very brief statements concerning (1) the theoretical background or rationale, (2) the hypotheses to be tested, (3) sample characteristics, (4) methods used to conduct the study, (5) anticipated results, (6) implication of the results.

The abstract should be approximately 250 words long and appear on its own page. 3. Introduction: The introduction should introduce the reader to the topic and provide all of the background necessary for the reader to understand the remainder of the paper. . It should begin with a general statement of the broad problem area (e.g., As the baby boomer generation approaches old age, increasing concerns arise about issues of productivity in the work place.), followed by a brief discussion of the current state of the literature (previous research) on the problem and the explicit rationale for conducting further research. After you have developed a background and rationale, state the specific problem and hypothesis (prediction) to be studied.

The hypothesis, problem statement, or question should be stated in observable, measurable, terms. The introduction must include brief discussions of at least 5 original research articles that provide background for the proposed study. These papers must be empirical studies, with original research findings. The discussion of these papers must be accompanied by APA-formatted in-text citations. All cited papers should be referenced (see Reference, below). The introduction should be approximately 3 pages long.

Communicable diseases among IDUs

Your paper must include the following sections, each with the major headings as noted in bold/underline below and in the order specified. You can include subheadings as you see fit.

Significance (Suggested 4 pages—9 points total) • Background (2 points) o This section should include a succinct yet clear description of the health issue, incorporating relevant epidemiologic data to identify the severity and susceptibility of the problem and establish the evidence for the behavioral risk factors to be addressed in the intervention. This question should answer the question “Why is this health issue important?” • Target Population Needs Assessment (3 points) o Describe the target population and discuss all important factors that influence the target population’s intention toward the behavioral and health objectives, including a thorough analysis of social influences, cultural values, and economic situations, considering the entire ecological model, essentially taking a systems thinking approach and considering the multiple levels of influence on individual behavior. This section should answer the questions “Why is this target population a priority for the health issue described above?”; “What are the roots of the social/behavioral issue, and how are cultural values considered in the problem and/or potential solutions?” and “What are the audiences’ needs, assets and capacities?” • Objectives (4 points) o Immediate (Theory-Based) Objectives (2 points)  Briefly state a minimum of two SMART short-term objectives and describe how they are related to the behavioral objective. Explicitly explain how these objectives could be quantitatively measured. o Intermediate (Behavioral) Objective (1 point)  Briefly state your one SMART behavioral objective and describe how it is related to the health objective. One objective is required, but with approval students may submit two if their program warrants. Explicitly explain how the behavioral objective could be quantitatively measured. o Long T erm (Health) Objective (1 point)  Briefly state your one SMART health objective and why this objective is important to individuals in your target population. Explicitly explain how the health objective could be quantitatively measured. Theoretical Approach (Suggested 5 pages—9 points total) In this section, you should describe the theoretical model of behavior you chose fully. Introduce and define the theory for the reader, discuss its utility, its assumptions, and its uses in various health contexts, including your health issue. Discuss its role in informing the development of your intervention, specifically how it informs the activities within your intervention: Describe the components of the assigned theory you used (as well as the components you did NOT use, if any) to develop your program and the rationale for incorporating (or not). The goal is to use your chosen theory as comprehensively as possible. (3 points) • Describe all the elements and activities of your health intervention program and discuss how your intervention incorporates into its design the elements of your chosen theory. What are the tailored programmatic activities and strategies you will utilize to engage your target audience effectively? (3 points) • Describe how this proposed program is innovative compared to other programs that have been previously implemented. Think about the following questions when developing this section (though not necessary to discuss each and every one). (3 points) “How is this program different/better than other programs in this health context or for your target population?” “What is it about your particular program and theoretical approach that will make it successful among your target population?” Discussion (Suggested 3 pages—4 points total) This section should include both Limitations and a Conclusions section.

• For the limitations portion, consider strengths of your theory and justify your choice. Alternatively, consider whether another theory, or an additional theory, might have improved your intervention and discuss how it/they would have been used. At least one additional theory should be discussed here. (2 points) • Bring to light overall limitations of your intervention/program in addressing the health issue in this population. (1 point) • For the conclusion, end on a positive and persuasive note with the anticipated policy and/or program implications resulting from your program, despite its limitations. (1 point)
