I am going to ask the class to share various articles on research (topics include: quantitative research, qualitative research, literature review, experimental research design). Please upload it to the discussion board (There are no formal discussions noted for this week – Just upload an article on the topics mention to share with your class). Just let us know what the article is about. This will help your colleagues gain an understanding of our process as we go into Phase One of our research course.  

This week, you will write your evidence-based change project status report, which gives you an opportunity to share your progress. The report should provide evidence of your critical thinking and ability to apply research and project management principles in the clinical setting.
  The requirements of this assignment include: 1.Identify obstacles and steps taken to manage and stabilize successful implementation of your change project thus far. 2.Discuss the project implementation to date, the resources used, and continued support needed. 3.Identify expected project outcomes and any timeline adjustments needed. 4.Discuss a summary of the project, the main points, and the findings, the significance of the project to the nursing profession, and any recommendations for future research.  You will submit a written paper using the format of the APA (6th ed.), including cover page, proper headings and references. The report should be at least 4 pages in length, not including the cover page and references.

According to Piaget, children make a number of important cognitive advances during the Concrete Operational Stage during the Middle Childhood years.

(1) From the advances described on page 207 (conservation, classification, seriation, or transitivity), please select and describe the advance that you think is the MOST significant during this period and explain WHY you think it is important. Please be as specific as you can. (Feel free to look up more information on these advances if the description in the text is not completely clear to you.)

(2) Provide a SPECIFIC example of how this advancement would lead you to interact with a middle child differently than you would with a younger child who has not yet developed that ability. In other words, describe a specific situation NOT already described in the textbook, where you would need to interact with a younger and an older child differently.

The specific situation MUST revolve around the advancement you chose for #1 above. Suggesting the an older child “would be more logical” or could “understand more” DOES NOT answer the question, because that could apply to ANY of the advancements. 

 

1) **********minimum 3 full pages**************************** (cover, table appendix page or reference page not included) 

2)¨**********APA norms 

3)********** It will be verified by Turnitin and SafeAssign 

4) **********References from the last 5 years  (Minimum 4 references)

 

5) The points don’t be must copied in the work. It must be identified by numbers. 

For example

1. Introduction …………………………..

2.  4 nursing metaparadigms………………………..

3. My nursing metaparadigms ………………………..

     a) Components…………………

_________________________________________________________ 

1) The purpose of this paper is to define, describe and explain your personal beliefs about the four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm and their inter-relationship to one another as they guide your current nursing practice. 

2) Then you must correlate or link your current philosophy to one particular nursing theory, identify these. 

  Structure:

1. Introduction & brief description identifies the purpose of the paper and the factors influencing the development of the personal nursing philosophy. 

2. Define, describe and explain your personal thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about the concepts of the 4 nursing metaparadigms

a. Person/client 

b. Environment 

c. Health 

d. Nursing 

3. Identification and a brief description of the nursing theory found to be the most compatible with the student’s personal nursing philosophy. 

               a) Discuss the core components of the theory and how it reflects the student’s personal philosophies. 

 

week 2 q2 spr

Since I am a team lead on my unit, I frequently teach nursing students or new orientees. I initially chose the article about the nursing student’s first clinical experience- this was a conversation we recently had at work- but the entire article was written in some Nordic language that I can’t read. I was disappointed because I was very interested in the subject.

Gender and poverty in South Africa in the era of HIV/AIDS: A quantitative study.

Research problems: The research problem suggested in this article is the need for further investigation into why this group of under-educated, poverty stricken head of households “single women had a significantly higher HIV prevalence than married, divorced, or widowed women.”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between gender, socio-economic status, and HIV infection rates.

Objective: The goal of this article was to educate the reader on a correlation between gender, poverty, and HIV infection rates in South Africa. It suggests that as a targeted group with a very high risk, by supporting these women with continued education opportunities and the betterment of their economic status may be an important step in the fight against HIV (Shisana, Rice, Zungu, & Zuma, 2010).

Hypothesis: The single female head of household population in South Africa is more likely to live in poverty, and is at higher risk for HIV infection.

Credibility and Validity: The statements included in the article describing the sources of information, the ratio of males to females, the manner in which they were surveyed, all add to the validity of the research.  “The way samples are selected, responses are measured, and data are managed can all inhibit or enhance validity” (Houser, 2018). As the reader it would be difficult to prove or disprove the facts and figures presented, but we must trust that the process of being published in a respected medical journal would lend itself to the credibility of the sources.
