Research: Merging Theory with Practice, and the two required articles for this week

/in /by

 

When Should Mixed Methods Be Used?
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 of the Hesse-Biber e-book, Mixed Methods Research: Merging Theory with Practice, and the two required articles for this week. Mixed methods is a current popular methodology. While this type of methodology is useful for some studies, because of its dual nature as both quantitative and qualitative, it is not effective or appropriate for all research.
For this discussion, you will consider the use of mixed methods for the topic you have chosen for your Research Proposal. In your initial post, apply the scientific method to your research topic by defining your research question and determining the method(s) necessary to answer that question. Compare the characteristics and appropriate uses of the different methods and explain if your research question could best be answered through qualitative or quantitative methods, or a mix of both. Identify the dominant method (quantitative or qualitative) for your proposed study. Explain whether or not a mixed methods approach is the best way to study the topic, demonstrating that the second method is not added as an afterthought or merely to impress journal editors who favor mixed methods. If you have decided not to use mixed methods, explain why the study is best completed with either a quantitative or qualitative focus. Justify your design choice and support your position with scholarly sources. Include a discussion explaining how you would apply ethical principles to your design to address concerns which may impact your research.

What do you perceive as the role of the clinician as spiritual provider?

/in /by

Prompt: The content of your Reflective Journal #3 should consider:
1) Consider who provides spiritual care, have you had an experience with spiritual care being provided by someone other than a designated spiritual provider?
2) What do you perceive as the role of the clinician as spiritual provider?
3) How do we as health and wellness providers provide spiritual care?

Summary:
The purpose of the reflective exercises is to allow for analysis, synthesis and evaluation of nursing theory using guided questions. Reflection has been referred to as a process that happens internally, privately or in isolation (Hill & Watson, 2011). Also, reflection has been referred to as the examination of an issue of concern, as a consequence of experience, creating clarity and meaning in terms of self, and which results in a change of perspective ( Boyd & Fales, 1983).

Identify the sources of information that you might use when conducting a needs assessment, including potential informants

/in /by

Psychology homework help

Discussion 1: Planning a Needs Assessment

Social workers often identify client problems that suggest the need for a new or more focused service. Rather than bemoaning the lack of resources, many social workers consider creating new services in the future. They might next imagine what an appropriate service or program would look like. This week, you generate a needs assessment plan for a program that meets an unmet need of your choice.

To prepare for this Discussion, review the examples of needs assessments presented in both of the readings. Consider the elements of a needs assessment plan that you must include in your own plan.

· Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently unmet need. Describe the unmet need and how current information supports your position that a needs assessment is warranted.

· Identify the sources of information that you might use when conducting a needs assessment, including potential informants. 

· Explain who among these potential informants would be valuable resources and why. Identify steps for obtaining credible, unbiased information.

Discussion 2: Remaining Compassionate and Professional

As a social worker, you interact with individuals who are at various stages of change in their lives. This may become frustrating for you when clients are struggling to achieve their goals. Thus, it is important for you to develop strategies to process your experiences so that you can maintain your compassion and professionalism. As you consider the strategies you have developed to address these issues, also consider how you might help other social workers to develop such strategies. Perhaps you consulted with your supervisors when you had difficulty processing your emotions in particular situations. As you consider assuming a supervisory role, how might you apply your learning from those experiences to helping those whom you supervise?

For this Discussion, review the Levy case study in this week’s video. Consider how you, as a social worker, might address the challenge of remaining engaged with a client while not letting your emotions affect the interaction. Also, consider how you, as a supervisor, might discuss this topic with a social worker whom you supervise.

· Post a strategy that you, as the social work supervisor in the Levy case study video, might use to debrief the social worker after the session described in the video.

Real life experience

/in /by

Psychology

The purpose of this assignment is to recognize the concepts we have studied, at work in real life, in your observations of an adult or elderly person’s daily experience.   Keeping a field log of your observations of the person for one day, you will critically discuss how this person’s activities are shaped and constrained by their age and societal expectations. This will allow you to actively observe some of the concepts learned in class.

Writing expectations

The paper should be 6-7 typed pages, double-spaced, 12-point font, with 1″ margins.  Remember to use APA format to cite and reference your sources.

Instructions

1.  Create a log.  For one day record your key observations of the person as he/she interacts with others.  Be particularly observant about how the person acts with their peers and how they act with others outside of the peer group.  You may want to observe this person in different settings, for example in a class setting, a church, with family members or an organized group activity.  This is a formal written log which will be submitted with your assignment and is included in the overall page count.

***Please do not observe a family member/spouse or close friend for this assignment.  A friend, acquaintance, or co-worker would be a better choice in order for you to be able to maintain objectivity.  It is up to you whether you wish to inform the person that he/she is being observed.

2.   For your paper, you must answer the following questions referring to specific concepts/theories you have learned thus far in the class.

a.  What was your initial impression of the person? What is their gender, age and economic status?

b.  What did you observe about how social the person is?

c.  What did you observe about how others interact with the person?

d.  What did you observe about prejudicial or stereotypical behavior toward the person (e.g., based upon their age/gender)?

e.  Do you believe that this person is developing typically or atypically based upon what you know so far about his/her current stage of life?  Why?
