Description

Chapter 2: Literature review for each article. Must follow required format. Each article is to be reviewed and summarized exclusive of the other. Each review must include the following: Author Topic/Subject (IV influence on DV (Topic) Instrument (s) participants Measure Results Example follows: Hirsch, DeYoung, Xu, and Peterson (2010) conducted a study to examine factors of the Big Five personalities and political conservatism. Participants included 481 member of the Eugene-Springfield Community Sample. The Big Five Aspect Scale was administered to determine participant’s level of Big Five personality traits. To measure political preference, participants subsequently complete two Likert-type scales measuring their political orientation. Items included statements such as, “Politically, I favor the Democratic Party” and “Politically, I favor the Republican Party.” Liberalism was assessed using the IPIP Liberalism Scale. A regression analysis was conducted using each of the broad Big Five domains to predict political party preference. As expected, significant effects were observed for Conscientiousness (Beta = -.16, t(425) = 4.71, p < .01), Openness (Beta = -.16, t(425) = -3.28, p < .01), and Agreeableness (Beta = -.37, t(425) = -3.53, p < .01).

Safe Nurse Staffing Policy

For this assessment, you will be required to develop and thoroughly analyze a public policy in order to advocate for one that improves the health of the public and/or the nursing profession globally (local, state, national, or international).

To do this, you will reflect on several aspects of being a policy maker within the nursing position. A few things to consider are: • Why did you select the health or nursing profession policy issue?

• How does this issue affect nursing practice, healthcare delivery, and health outcomes for individual, families, and/or communities?

• What are the values and the ethical positions that underpin your perspectives?

• What are the criteria you will use to evaluate the success (outcomes) of your proposed policy change? By using both a top-down and a bottom-up approach, you will analyze and bring the nursing perspective to policy makers and stakeholders.

Identifying the values and ethical perspectives that underpin your position, you will develop criteria to evaluate the success of your work.

This will lead to a created a policy brief that can be sent to decision makers and created a plan to work with an organization/community to promote policy change at the local level. To guide you to your conclusion, using nursing research to support your position is vital.

This should include principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR).

/0 Comments/in , /by

This is an assignment that focuses on the overview of the food security and nutritional health of the country. The paper also focuses on the next ten to two years development of the topic.

Overview of the food security and nutritional health of Afghanistan

Country Project – Afghanistan Part 2

1. Write up (worth 90% of final assignment mark)
a. 35% Part 1
– Part 1 is completed, it provides an overview of the food security and nutritional health of the country, set the scene for Part 2.
(I have uploaded the work for part 1, if it’s useful)
b. 55% Part 2 – instructions:
For this section, you are asked to provide an outline of how you think aid agencies could work with this country over the next 10-20 years to aid their development. Please bear in mind you must focus on identifying and critically evaluating the most practical, long term, sustainable interventions which will lead to greater food (and water) security and also better nutritional health.

For Part 2, expect to see reference to both internet sources and scientific journals:

• e.g. you choose strategy A. Your choice of strategy A was upon evidence you collected from your reading, e.g., it has already been used successfully by other NGOs in neighbouring countries (as evidenced by…), it was shown to have contributed to the attainment of MDG….and will contribute to the attainment of SDG….(as evidenced by….)

• Note: It is much more persuasive to say that intervention x reduced prevalence of y by z% than to simply say that intervention x reduced prevalence of y.

Overview of the food security and nutritional health of Afghanistan

The focus should be on nutritional/food related interventions. Remember, NGOs do not have the money to (nor should they) build roads, railway tracks, ports, hospitals… Do not spend time focusing on purely economic strategies to push economic development. Do not discuss trade barriers or primary, secondary, tertiary education.

You want strategies that are long term, but you cannot afford to concentrate on strategies that will take years and years to bear fruit.  Similar intervention that applied in other country, the evidence, the outcome, specific intervention not national name
You need strategies that may have a relatively quick impact on nutritional health, risk of dying and also food security. These must be sustainable as one day you will need to leave the country.
Your focus is on Specific interventions that work.
*For example: Yield increase, Water hygiene, Food diversity – to prevent Specific Macronutrient deficiency (e.g. Vitamin A, Iron deficiency)

*You need to propose 3 practical, long term, sustainable interventions which will lead to greater food (and/or water) security and also better nutritional health.
You can include pictures, tables and graphs to illustrate points, Keep it clear, concise and also logical.

Cultures that are currently influencing healthcare and effecting

Firstly, describe five cultures that are currently influencing healthcare and effecting delivery decisions.

Secondly, discuss each culture in detail and describe potential challenges to healthcare delivery. Include a discussion of how you would address nursing staff ensuring that these cultures were handled with respect and appropriate care delivery behaviour.

More details;

How does culture affect health care delivery?

The influence of culture on health is vast. It affects perceptions of health, illness and death, beliefs about causes of disease, approaches to health promotion, how illness and pain are experienced and expressed, where patients seek help, and the types of treatment patients prefer.
What are the sociol cultural factors affecting health?
Here are some examples of major social factors that can influence your health.

Firstly, Education. Your education level can have an effect on how healthy you are. …

Secondly, Income. The amount of money you make has an effect on your health. …

Thirdly, Housing. Where you live has a significant impact on your health. …

Fourthly, Access to health care.

What are some examples of cultural barriers in healthcare?
“These challenges are diverse and include insecurity to engage with patients, misunderstanding of patients, more directive communication, negative impacts on shared decision making, more time-consuming communication, perceived power distance between patients and physicians, etc.,” the researchers reported.
How does culture influence physical findings?
Cultural differences create problems in communication, rapport, physical examination and treatment compliance and follow through. … The perception of physical pain and psychologic distress varies from culture to culture and affects the attitudes and effectiveness of care-givers as much as of patients.
How does culture play a role in healthcare?
Role of Culture in Healthcare Decision-Making. Culture is a tool that its members use to assure their survival and well-being, as well as provide meaning to life. … Conflict related to cultural beliefs within healthcare commonly arises during times of significant life change.
