Part 3. Formally written reflective paper, APA formatted, including the following:15 points of the 30 total points

Describe the results of your plan and what you learned from your experiences. You will be turning in a PSMJ paper summarizing what you completed. Grading will be based upon the students thorough and detailed coverage of each prompt. There is not a word count for the PSMJ entries. However, in this senior-level class, I expect more than a couple of sentences per question.

You can do this in essay format, video format, or question/answer format. Whichever format you choose, make sure you cite correctly as well as include a reference page so I can refer to what was used. Also, make sure to still follow APA guidelines as outlined in the How to do well on writing assignments portion and APA info section.

Instructions for your formally written, APA formatted reflective paper. Include all of the following:

1) A detailed description of your stressor, and an explanation for why you chose this stressor.

2) Describe your reasons for choosing the coping strategy/chapter from your textbook to address your stressor. Why this chapter and not another one?

3) Describe your expectations for results. What kind of change did you expect to achieve after implementing your stress management plan for a week?

4) Describe what happened — what was achieved/worked and what did not work. Using specific examples from your experiences paired with references to your textbook and workbook, describe how, what you applied from your learning to your stressor. Use descriptive language to illustrate what you used from your readings and how you applied the knowledge to better manage your stressor. 

5) Talk some more about the actual results of what you learned from this activity. Include information about: What you learned about the coping strategy you used; Differences between what you expected and the reality of how your plan worked; Describe what you learned about yourself — behaviors, insights, emotions, etc.

6) What would you do differently to make your plan even more successful? Are there modifications you could make which would have helped you to be more successful in managing your stressor?

7) What are your thoughts and opinions on this approach to stress management.

8) Will you try using the approach you used for another stressor? Why or why not?

– PART 2 & 3 =

1) Your formally written, APA formatted reflective paper/video describing the results of your plan along with what you learned from your experience. Remember to cite within the paper correctly and include a reference and cover page. Remember you can do the paper in question-answer format, but you will still follow the APA guidelines. This includes doing a cover page, reference page, and citing. The difference would but for your essay portion of the paper, you will include the question with its number then answer under.

2) You will also turn in any portions from PART 2 which includes tracking notes. See PART 2 section pasted below for a reminder.

In this class, as in many I teach, students come from disciplines across the TWU campus and students in many of my classes are from different age groups, economics, and life experiences. Some students are single, some students are married, many work and have families – but all try to balance university studies, work, family, and life. Some students are even at the point in their life where they may be taking care of their parents.

Of the links provided in Module 4, the textbook reading, and your experience with friends or families that have been touched by any of the leading causes of death, which one concerns you the most? Explain why. Next, armed with knowledge, what can you do for friends, family, and the community to help prevent the leading cause of death you have selected to share in this discussion board?

After reviewing the Module, download and read the Mental Health Ten Basic Principles. The WHO created this list and it sounds like a great approach to mental health care. Find a LOCAL community-based mental health intervention (if there is not one in your community, try your city, county, state, etc.). Review the community health program and discuss how well it follows the 10 basic principles. What does this program address and where does it fall short (if applicable). Discuss who this program is for and how it uniquely addressing mental health aside from diagnosing and treating. Do they offer treatment beyond prescription medicine? Has it proven effective?
Your paper should be 2- 3 pages, double-spaced, and in APA 7th edition format. The page count does not include references.
You will include the primary NCHEC Area of Responsibility and Competencies you are addressing in this assignment as a separate paragraph. Discuss the areas you are practicing for this assignment and the specific competency(ies) you are utilizing. Discuss the importance of these competencies as it relates to the profession of public health.
