Gender Identity

/in /by

Gender Identity

You have some expertise in gender identity development although you may not be aware of it. This assignment presents you with the opportunity to explore your own gender identity development. Gender identity is a very personal topic, yet also one that has been much studied in professional literature.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research psychological literature on gender identity. In addition to the module readings, select at least two scholarly resources for use in this assignment. You also have the option of using nonscholarly resources from reputable Web and print sources.

Cover the following sections:

  • Early Learning about Gender
    • Identify memories of masculinity and femininity in your family, peers, authority figures, and role models from childhood through adolescence.
    • Describe the biological, social, historical, cultural, ethnic, or political influences on your early learning of gender roles and explain how they form a part of your own gender role identity.
    • Include examples specific to your experiences.
  • Influence of Gender on Roles and Decisions
    • Evaluate the scientific evidence for the influence of gender expectations on social roles, cognitive abilities, and educational and career choices.
    • Compare or contrast this scientific evidence to your own experiences. That is, explain how your experience matches or does not match the scientific community’s opinion about how gender expectations influence social roles, cognitive abilities, and educational and career choices.
  • Transitions, Conflicts, and Challenges
    • Identify any transition points or conflicts in your gender role development until now. Were there times when you did not feel your expected gender role fit for you?
    • Describe your experiences with sexism or lack of experiences with sexism. How does this relate to what the scientific community says about transitions, conflicts, and challenges?
  • Looking Forward
    • Discuss how you anticipate your gender identity will continue to evolve over the course of your life. Do you have present concerns about your gender identity?
    • Identify areas in which you could benefit from expanding the definition of your gender role. What difficulties do you anticipate in this? Explain.

Be sure to include the following in your paper:

  • A title page
  • A reference page
  • Headings for each of the sections applying APA standards
  • A minimum of two scholarly sources, which are not included in the module readings

For reputable Web sources, look for .org, .net, or .edu Web sites as opposed to .com sites. Please avoid Wikipedia.

Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to the formatting of your paper and the citation of sources. Remember to include a cover page and reference page in APA format.

Two Sample Test of Hypothesis

1. Mary Jo is the Vice President of Nursing services at St. Luke’s Memorial Hospital. Recently she noticed that in the job postings for nurses that those that are unionized seem to offer higher wages. She decided to investigate and gathered the following sample information.

Group Mean Wage Sample Std Deviation Sample Size
Union $20.75 $2.25 40
Nonunion $19.80 $1.90 ; 45

Would it be reasonable for her to conclude that union nurses earn more? Use the .02 significance level.

Discuss the process of translating this evidence into clinical practice demonstrating an awareness of the factors that may inhibit the implementation of the best practice.

/in /by

Discuss the process of translating this evidence into clinical practice demonstrating an awareness of the factors that may inhibit the implementation of the best practice.

Examine the Evidence supporting a clinical topic and appraise the evidence underpinning this. Discuss the process of translating this evidence into clinical practice demonstrating an awareness of the factors that may inhibit the implementation of the best practice. 3000 words (+ or – 10%). 1 Chose a topic wisely. Make sure that it is clear and of a sensible size; in reality not too big. It is also helpful, but not obligatory, to use a topic from your eight week placement so that your work is really grounded in practice. 2 You can look at an area of hospital policy and evaluate its evidence base: this could be a care pathway, a hospital policy, a computerised care plan. Or: you could look at a more general topic of nursing care, for example injection technique, and look at the evidence behind it. It may be helpful to use the PICO formulation to clearly define an issue. (PICO is: population; which patient group you will be looking at: gender or age, community or hospital settings etc. Intervention: what test or treatment you are going to look at: medication, risk assessment tool etc. This could be a lot of different actions. Comparison; Possibly an optional part of your PICO. If you want to compare a new intervention with the current standard practice for example. Outcome: How you are going to measure how successful the intervention is: this could be in terms of morbidity or mortality rates, number of pressure sores etc.). Use PICO to help your identify a clear problem, but do not be ruled by it. 3 You need to look at the evidence base for your chosen topic. This will require good literature searching skills and a clear account of the search strategy you used. This will involve a discussion of the volume of research or writing about the topic, the time frame of this body of evidence and the kind of research: qualitative or quantitative. 4 You will need to address the quality of the research. This will involve a discussion of the hierarchy of evidence. If there is a good systematic review on the topic, this would normally count as very persuasive evidence in terms of influencing practice and would need to be a central part of your account… At the other end of the spectrum the body of evidence might consist primarily of expert opinion then there might be more doubt over how trustworthy the findings are. Chronology is important too. Research is iterative. This means it builds on previous work. Your account must take this into account. Often you will find the evidence is ambiguous and does not give us a clear roadmap. There needs to be some discussion of context and risk. If you are planning to change a practice which might slightly improve care and not put lives at risk (nursing handover practice for example), you might accept different evidence than if changing practice which might have dramatic effects on mortality or morbidity (for instance a major new anti-cancer drug).Your account must include a discussion of these issues.
