                                           Main Question Post:

                                      Using the Walden Library   

            During research for another assignment, I came across an interesting article about suicide and substance abuse in the Walden Library. I was looking for how substance abuse related to suicide if at all and was delighted with the search results. In this post, I will discuss a summary of the study, its strengths and limitations, and my search experience.              

            The study was conducted in Denmark using their national registration systems. The registers can track who has had psychiatric treatment for a mental health disorder as well as co-occurring disorders such as substance abuse. The purpose of the study was to determine links between substance use and completed suicides and attempted suicides. The study used the registry data to conclude that substance use increased the risk of completing suicide by triple (Ostergaard, Nordentoft, & Hjorthoj, 2017). Although this is valuable information, it has limitations. For example, the study outcome may apply in Denmark, but it is not representative of mental health populations outside of Denmark. A strength present in the study was the use of national registers that allowed the study conductors to follow individuals over an extended period versus a randomized controlled trial where time to study is often short.

            The use of the Walden Library has become more comfortable over time. Finding the study was relatively easy as I mentioned above that I was looking for how substance abuse and suicide relate. According to Walden University (n.d.), splitting your topic into keywords and avoiding phrases are vital strategies for searching for articles. I typed “substance abuse” and “suicide” into the search bar, and this study was number two on the list under the CINAHL Plus database. Using keywords is the best-kept secret to successful searching. Also, I like to take advantage of citations that are included in the library resources. Walden University (n.d.) suggests checking the citations from the library before using in your works as they do have errors. I have found errors when using the built-in citations, so this is excellent advice.

Chapter 4-Hospitals:  Origin, Organization and Performance

Due at 5PM CST, Monday, September 11, 2017

Assigned Readings:  Chapter 4

Answer the following questions:

1. For a hospital to operate efficiently and effectively, the three important influences in its governance, medical staff, board of trustees, and administration, must work together in reasonable harmony. What factors might contribute to tensions among these groups?
2. As the nursing profession has expanded through advanced degrees, specialization, and clinical practice, nurses’ salaries and responsibilities have also increased. Now, hospitals substitute non-nurses for nurses to perform all but the most technical tasks. What are the implications for the nursing profession? Have nurses lost their traditional role of hands-on patient care and, if so, is that to their advantage or disadvantage?
3. The traditional management style of hospitals has been hierarchical and internally focused.  What are three important challenges that face hospitals to accommodate new payer and consumer expectations?
4. The availability of hospital insurance removed an important cost constraint from hospital services and charges. What were some positive and negative consequences of that development?
5. The organization and practices of modern hospitals reflect the promotion of specialization and sub-specialization by academic health centers. What were the advantages and disadvantages to patients of increasing the number of physicians who limit their activities to narrower fields of practice?
6. With significant oversupply of hospital beds in the U.S. what is the rationale for taxpayer support of the separate and costly hospital system of the Department of Veterans Affairs?
