Do Civilians And Rescue Workers Experience The Same Kind Of Secondary/Vicarious Trauma?

November 20, 2019 1 Comment Uncategorized

1) A 1-2 paragraph description of the question of interest.

2) A 1-2 paragraph summary of the method and results of each of the studies you read (there might be more than three total if one or more of your articles reported multiple studies).  Be succinct and do not plagiarize!  Use your own words to describe what was done and what was found.

3) A 2-4 page integrative summary of the results presented in the three articles, in which you provide as clear an answer as possible to your original question.  Note that in some cases, there might not be a clear answer.  For example, if one study found that Asian Americans had higher rates of PTSD than European Americans, a second study found that European Americans had higher rates of PTSD than Asian Americans, and a third study found no ethnic differences in the prevalence rates of PTSD, there is no clear answer to the question “Are Asian Americans and 

European Americans equally likely to experience PTSD after a trauma?”  In a case like this, your integrative summary should focus on a discussion of why the three studies might have had such different findings.  Perhaps one or two studies had serious methodological problems.  In that case, you might want to rely more heavily on the findings of the other study.  Or perhaps all studies were methodologically strong, but there were key differences that might explain the different findings.  Be sure to have a strong bottom line at the end of your paper, even if it is merely to say “We don’t know the answer to this question yet.”

4）Use “New York firefighter recalls 9/11” video as reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DGjTdBg0lY

5)The paper should follow APA format (if you need assistance with APA format, consult with your TA).  Please include a cover page, a separate page with an abstract, and a reference page; these don’t count towards the 5-6 page total.  Page numbers are required.  Proofread and spell-check your paper before turning it in.

Patient-physician relationships are the primary important factor when providing quality care.  Patients desire physicians to show empathy, one who is knowledgeable, provides patient education in terms that the patient comprehends,  and is attentive.  All of these characteristics embody meeting the patient’s needs and leaves the patient feeling positive about their encounter.  A positive relationship and experience makes room for patient satisfaction. Communicating to the patient clearly, medication instructions and other important medical information sets the tone for a healthy conversation. 

What detracts from the relationship is lack of healthy communication skills, shared decision making, empathy and compassion, understanding different cultures, and language barriers.  When incorporating shared decision making into the patient-physician experience,  the family becomes involved, patients are educated, and personal and cultural preferences are made known and can be addressed.

I think that a positive patient and physician relationship is important to make sure that you are getting the best and most appropriate care for the need that you are in. Trust, open communication, honesty, and respect are some of the factors that it takes to have a positive and effective relationship with your physician (Shipman, 2010). If these characteristic are felt by the patient, they will be more trusting and willing to follow their physicians treatment plan and advice. I feel that honesty and trust are the most important because, that will get you the most effective and direct treatment and care. If you can be honest with your doctor about symptoms of medication, no matter how embarrassing, the sooner he or she can point you in the better direction for your wants and needs. I was lucky to find that within my medical network, however, my husband and I just moved to Michigan. I will need to take the time to hunt for a new physician for us, sooner rather then later. I think one factor that has surfaced that may hurt the patient and physician relationship is, the internet. Many people think they can look up what is actually wrong with them, they diagnose themselves, and continue to follow WebMDs treatment plan instead of their own physician. People that look to social media or the internet to diagnose themselves or find their treatment plan are sometimes their own worst enemies.

Parents usually respect the opinions of their child’s early childhood professional and will welcome many suggestions. To help encourage parents’ choices in food selections for their children they can offer material on healthy kid friendly recipes and snack choices. Many times, parents just need some ideas on what food to offer when they have run out of ideas on their own. Another idea that I’ve seen work first hand is to host a family fun night and have parents and children come out and learn how to make healthy foods from a certified chef. This event is not only fun, but parents walk away with ideas and are encouraged to make better food choices for their family. 

Part 2:

Discuss how early childhood professionals can address childhood obesity and healthy nutrition in the early childhood classroom. Please discuss two examples for the classroom environment and one example to share with parents for the home environment.

Obesity can be addressed by simply just discussing good and bad food choices with the children inside the classroom. Sharing ideas and showing alternatives to bad foods can really help them think about the food they eat at home. Unfortunately, children are not solely responsible for the food they eat, their parents buy the food in the house and allow them to eat it. If children have an idea of what food choices are good, they can suggest those food options to their parents. As a parent I would see my child suggestion of a good food choice as a great idea.

One example  in an early childhood setting that  can help encourage  the parents  choices  in the food they are giving their  child  is to  show them the menu  of the  food  that the school gives. I know in the school  I work  for  we give fruit  with  both  breakfast and lunch. Snack  they  give the healthy snacks like string cheese yogurt and sometimes the  snacks are small bags of cheese- its or  a small bag of vanilla wafers or a small bag of ghramm crackers. Showing  a parent  a menu is  very important because what if the parent has not tried  giving their child a fruit  with their meal. One  the fruit is healthy  but  will fill the  child up, and two what if the  child  never  had it and  then they  have  a  reaction they will be able to  tell the  doctor  what they  had to make sure they  are  not  allergic. 

Another example  is culture has  a big part in food. Some cultures  eat different  food and  not use  to the American  food  that is given in the day  care.  The  day care I work  at is mixed races  and  we  have our food  catered in  from  a company and  some of the  food  is  a big  hit  and  other times the  children  do not want it, not all of  them. After  i  read  the information  from  http://www.healthyeating.org/Portals/0/Documents/Tip%20Sheets/CulturalFoodGuide.pdf  I learned  about the  different  cultural.  “With a Celebration of Culture, you can: • Recognize the value of healthy food and identify healthy choices using culturally relevant examples. • Learn how foods from all cultures can be part of a healthy diet. • Encourage nutrient-rich food choices from the diverse cuisines, cultures and traditions available today” Some  cultures do not  allow  people in their  culture  eat different  foods,  for  example  African  Americans  have  a period of  time they  can not eat meat . If  the  child in  the  center is  African  American  talk  to  the parent  to  see if  they  are allowing their child to  have meat if  not if they can bring something  in for them to  eat.

Part2

If a child likes  a certain food they  will  want  to keep eating it.  You have to monitor  the in  take  they have. The  child might  not need be happy  with you at the moment because you  are saying “no  more” but you  are really helping them out. As teachers you have to be on the same page with the parents about the food in take.

Does this imbalance contribute to a basic unfairness in the criminal justice system? why or why not?

1) The grand jury was developed in the 1300s in England as a way to interpose the citizenry against the absolute power of the monarch. Is such an institution still needed today? why or why not?

 

2) Is it fair that prosecutors’ offices have all of the resources of the state at their disposal, whereas a defense attorney has only himself/herself and a limited staff? Does this imbalance contribute to a basic unfairness in the criminal justice system? why or why not?

What would be the most appropriate researchable population for use in your research project? What are the challenges of obtaining a sample from this population? How could you address those challenges? (Essential I-IX

 

 

Discussion # 7

Find a study published in a nursing journal in 2010 or earlier that is described a s a pilot study. Do you think the study really is a pilot study, or do you think this label was used inappropriately? Search forward for a larger subsequent study to evaluate your response. 

 

Discussion # 8

Identify a state health policy and the tools used to implement the policy. How do you think the political climate has affected the choice of policy tools and the behavioral assumptions by policymakers?  How have professional nursing organizations been involved in this policy issue? If they have not, what recommendations would you make for them to participate?  Develop a few talking points to inform other health care professionals regarding this issue.

The discussion board asks about the importance of strategic human resource planning.   Maintaining a talent pipeline is critical to an organization’s success considering an entire generation of employees will be retiring over the next 10 years.  Their skills, abilities and knowledge will retire with them. 

 

NOTE: You will need to make your initial post before you will see classmates’ posts.  Remember the discussion board is an ongoing conversation and can not all be completed in one day/sitting.  Please refer to the discussion board rubric under syllabus/schedule content area of Bb for full details on the expectations of discussion board use. 

You must have an initial response to the following discussion questions along with at least two follow up responses to other postings

American businesses are entering a very transformative period related to their workforce.  An entire generation has reached, or will soon reach, retirement age.  Once they opt to retire, their collective knowledge, skills, abilities and experiences will retire with them. 

A strategic business plan is difficult to execute under most circumstances, but without the right people it is impossible.  Strategic human resource planning is critical to an organization’s success. 

What strategic steps should the Human Resources department begin taking to meet future staffing needs particularly for skilled professionals, “knowledge workers” and management? 

Below are two articles related to Strategic HR planning to consider as your formulate your response:

The topic for this research paper is deceptively simple: When and how did we become “human?  

This assignment is a Position Paper in which you are to take a position on the topic (based on your personal understanding of the material presented in this class) and support your position by reviewing, discussing and citing reputable research sources.  

  1. Your first paragraph must explain your definition of what it means to be “human”, ending with a thesis statement that encapsulates your plan to support your position.  
  2. IMPORTANT: This assignment covers only from the past 2.5 million years ago to today.  
    1. DO NOT include discussion of species prior to 2.5 million years ago.  
    2. DO NOT include discussion of the development of bipedalism for this assignment.
  3. Present and analyze the current scientific research regarding this topic.  
  4. Your paper must end with a clear and concise conclusion that recaps your argument and restates your thesis.
  5. Introduce and define the scope and focus of your paper in a concise thesis statement that appears at the end of your first paragraph. A thesis statement tells the reader what the paper is about.
  6. Support your position as stated in your thesis. Ways to support your position include discussing physical aspects of hominin evolution over the past 2 million years (what changed, what species, what impact?), genetic aspects of hominin evolution over the past 2 million years (what derived, what species, what impact?) and/or cultural aspects of hominin development (what changed, what species, what impact: changes in stone tools, social group behaviors or interactions, symbolic representations, etc.). What is your supporting evidence for your position on when did hominins become “human” in the last 2 million years?
  7. Read and refer to at least three different sources (more sources are recommended). DO NOT use Wikipedia or similar crowd-contributed websites as sources of information for this paper. Talk with the college reference librarian for help in finding appropriate research for your paper. You may use links in the class power points to research further sources for your paper (NOT the power points themselves).
  8. Recap and conclude. Your conclusion must include a restatement of your thesis and clearly reference your analysis and position on this topic.
  9. Submit your completed assignment by clicking on the Turn-It-In link at the bottom of the Assignment page on the course website.

Include as much of the following information as possible: author(s) family name followed by first initial, year of publication, title of article or book, name of journal, magazine or book including volume/issue and page numbers of publication, website where the article was published, date of website information retrieval.  
  12. Use in-text citations to identify the source(s) of quoted and/or technical and/or highly specialized information included in your paper. In-text citations look like this: (family name of author, first initials of author, year of publication). For example: (Smithson, J. 2019). DO NOT use footnotes. DO NOT include the entire source citation as an in-text citation.
  13. IMPORTANT: Do not plagiarize information presented in your paper. Do not copy from any source, including the article(s) you use as references.
