Provide a preliminary literature review and an action item checklist

The subject for this study is family discharge arrangement in NICU. Discharge arrangement can be portrayed as ‘the improvement of an individualized discharge strategy for the patient preceding leaving health care facility, with the point of containing costs as well as enhancing patient outcomes’ (Spence & Casey, 2015). It is thought to be a crucial component in making the change from the intensive care setting towards the home. This progress has been portrayed as ‘a passage from conditions that might make a time of vulnerability related to changes in role relations, desires, or capacities.’ A medical placement on a NICU excited the researcher’s enthusiasm with respect towards whether families are by and large adequately prepared for as well as bolstered all through discharge and also how discharge arrangement  is being done, rousing the researcher to investigate this subject further.

This assignment  will require:

1.  a minimum of 10 scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles.
2. Each article needs to be thoroughly summarized. The summary must describe the relevance of the article, and how the research findings support the action you are proposing in your capstone project.
3. Each article summary needs to include a research design and methods section.

 hi dear,

I just need to 2 responses to the assignments.

Please be thorough with your response and be sure to back up all information with reputable sources.

1. Children as young as six years old already have assumed beliefs about how gender plays a role in society (Berk 2009).  They are already beginning to assume personality traits and societal status of their peers based on their gender (Gelman 2004).  When these stereotypes are reinforced at such an early age they can have long lasting effects on the child’s development later in life. Gender roles in society assume everything for academic aptitude to career proficiency, which have a direct affect how children begin to imagine their life trajectory (Rainey 1999).

Children from an early age in to adolescence are most strongly influenced by their parents.  In order to equalize the perceptions of gender roles in this country, we have to identify how parents can positively affect their children’ perceptions of the roles of their own gender, and the genders of their peers.  In general, parent’s views on gender roles tend to transfer to their children of the same gender more strongly (Halpern 2015).  Daughters of mothers who wouldn’t fit in a traditional gender role tend to have a more open opinion on the gender roles of all women.  There is a similar effect seen in the relationship between a father’s perception of gender roles and those of their sons (Halpern 2015).  

More directly than a parent’s views on gender roles, a parent’s behavior is a predictor for children’s perceptions of gender roles (Halpern 2015).  In order to meaningfully change how gender roles are perceived in future generations, adults now have to begin to demonstrate gender equality.  Change can be affected much faster if as a nation we can all begin to actively take on roles in the family or at work that are traditionally done by a different gender.  Parents now have to commit to show their children through action that gender doesn’t confine people to a particular way of life.

2. Development of Gender Roles

Personally, I believe that the parents have the largest influence on a child’s gender roles. Gender roles are pushed by parents as soon as the baby is born. Babies are assigned a gender based on the physical anatomy of their bodies, and as their cognitive development starts, they are manipulated to believe all of the stereotypes associated with their assigned gender. During this early stage of a child’s life their primary source of knowledge comes from their caregivers, and parents. According “Human Sexuality Diversity in Contemporary America “parents manipulate their children from infancy onward, they treat their daughters gently and tell her she is pretty, and they treat their sons roughly and tel him that he is strong” (Sayad, Yarber, 2013). Parents teach their children what is appropriate, and what is inappropriate for their genders.

If a dad see’s his son playing with a Barbie, he will likely distract him with a different toy, or advise him that this particular toy is for girls. The dad might react this way because he is afraid that if he lets his son play with the barbie then that is allowing him to act like a girl, and this will lead to him being a homosexual. While the likely-hood of this being the determining factor of a person’s sexuality, it is indeed taboo for boys to play with toys that are intended for girls. There is double standard when it comes to girls playing with toys that are intended for boys. According to The National Association for the Education of the Young Child, Children benefit cognitively from playing with toys. A boy can learn to care for a baby, and practice his ability to nurture by playing with dolls. Children develop gender identity between 18 months and 3 years, gender typing is established by 4-5 years and gender role development happens by 5 years. Since the parents are responsible for early gender role pushing and continue to carry out these gender stereotypes long before children are old enough to be influenced by teachers, media, or any other outside influence. They are indeed the main contributers to their child’s gender role.

Thanks,

Discussion Question:

One thing in life we cannot control is nature. What would your organization do if there was a natural disaster that destroyed electrical lines and internet servers? How would you take care of your patients if you could not access the EMR for a week or more? What recommendations can you make for improvement?

Reply to at least two of your peers with additional evidence-based recommendations for improvement.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length.

Your response should be approximately 250 words in length and clearly address the prompt. This means it must be a thoughtful response within a paragraph format. Your responses should observe the conventions of standard American English grammar and syntax. You may wish to include specific quotes from the text to substantiate your responses. Should you quote or paraphrase the text within your posting, be sure to include citations using APA format.

“Choose three injuries and discuss their proposed interventions.”

Directions: Identify an outcome of nursing practice in your area of practice that can be improved.  For example, if you work in home health, you may identify that throw rug use by fall risk patients is too prevalent.  You may be able to use the problem that inspired the theory concepts that you developed in week two.

Briefly support why it is a problem with evidence from the literature. This is not the major focus of the assignment so do not elaborate.

Create a clinical nursing (not medical) theory in the form Concept A | Proposition | Concept B. Think of the structure like two nouns and a verb. While the term proposition is much more complex in the dictionary, in our use it is the connecting term between the two concepts. Examples include Concept A improves Concept B, Concept A is related to Concept B, when Concept A increases then Concept B also increases, etc. When you get to research, you will explore this further as you develop independent and dependent variables. How to use these statistically will come in research and statistics courses.

This clinical theory is identified as an empirical theory when you get to the C-T-E model later in this course. It is empirical in that they can be measured.

Identify and define your concepts. Identify how they could be measured in a research study. Be careful that you do not use compound concepts. If you find the words “and” or “or” in your theory, you are probably too complex.

If you research your question and seek funding, you will need a theoretical model to guide the research. In our assignment, we are using Watson. You will identify the concepts in Watson’s theories that are represented by the concepts you are using in your clinical theory. Match the proposition in her theory with your proposition. To help, the 10 Caritas Processes are Concept A. Choose the one that matches your concept. To clarify, let’s look at Caritas 1 Embrace and use it in middle-range theory. Sustaining humanistic-altruistic values by the practice of loving-kindness, compassion, and equanimity with self/others (Concept A – Very complex and abstract) improves (Proposition) subjective inner healing (Concept B). 

Conclude with your discoveries made in your readings and the impact on the nursing profession of your discoveries. Explore, briefly, discovered questions that require further research. Summarize t in the conclusion.

Expectations
