The Gender Approach Discussion Topic

February 27, 2021 Leave a comment History, Undergraduate

No outside sources please . Please check plagiarism..

I HAVE ATTACHED READINGS…

This week we are going to look at the Gender History approach. First, there is a big difference between Women’s History and the historical interpretive approach of Gender. Women’s History is simply to make women the focus of your research topic, like studying politics, economics, or military events. Women’s History is not an interpretive approach, but instead it is a historical topic. Gender as an interpretive approach looks at the cultural meanings of what it meant to be a man or women in the past, but it can also define power relationships within a society or culture. Drawing from the methods of the Cultural History approach, gender is about culturally defined social definitions and how those can translate into social, cultural, economic, and political power. So don’t say that gender is about looking at only women.  It can be about men and women, just women, or as one of our readings this week illustrates, just men.

The first article by Scott is the most important, defining article about gender ever written. In this article, Scott was the first to define gender as an interpretive approach to understanding the historical past, noting that it was not just women’s history. Scott’s article has two parts. The first part (pages 1053-1066) is a summary of what others have argued about women’s history and gender; this is not Scott’s argument or definition of gender. The second part (pages 1066-1075) contains Scott’s definition of what gender is about. In the second article, Calavita combines and race in her historical analysis of the Chinese Exclusion Act. The third article by Jeffrey Glasco applies gender to military history and labor history.

For this discussion complete all of the above readings. Some, like Scott, might seem difficult, so read them more than once if you need to.

Then, please address the following questions in your initial post:

  -What is the Gendered approach to History about? What is Gender and how is it different from the topic of Women’s History? How does Scott define gender as an approach to understand the historical past? (Your task here is to define how historians define gender, which maybe different from your personal definition of gender).

-How is the Calavita article on how gender complicated the enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion Acts a good example of the use of the interpretive theory of gender?  What is Calavita’s argument (thesis), and what are her conclusions?

-How does Glasco use gender as a historical approach in his article? How can he use gender, but not include any women as historical subjects in his article? Why is it important that Glasco’s article was published in a leading labor history journal rather than a military history oriented journal?

Post your initial post here. Then come back and respond to at least two more of your peers’ initial posts along with any questions addressed to you. There is a lot to cover in this discussion, but hopefully you will find the readings valuable and enlightening. Remember this discussion is about how historians define gender rather than a debate about what the “true” definition of gender is.

week 8

February 27, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Health Care and Life Sciences

Now I want you to focus on the concept of basing staffing needs off need to assure  positive patient outcomes in a procedure of your choice

  You are charged as the Director of the RT department at RTs make a big difference Medical Center

  Your CEO does beleives in Respiratory Care – but wants to make sure certain procedures you are providing result in high quality safe and effective  outcomes for the Medical Center.  He asks you to pick a respiratory care procedure  or protocol you feel really makes a positive difference in the future of patients and the hospital.  He knows this may take more time both for you and your staff.  He wants you to prepare a report. In the report you are to identify the protocol or procedure, tell how you will educate all so they know you are focusing on this specific area , how you will implement it if it is not already taking place, how you will monitor and report the data.  What you feel yo will need to do to assure success.  He also wants to know if this will involve more time for some of your managers and if staff will need to take more time. Of course he also wants to know if this quality data program will cost him – the hospital any more money to perform.  Be creative or use a procedure or protocol already in place at your center.

  This is a discussion so it will be graded as such and 2 relies to your peers on their presentation is required

 

    Example – You are sure that when RTs ( not nurses or MDs) provide consistent asthma education by reinforcing and educating them via  their personal asthma plan each on every shift -that there is a 75% drop in the readmission rate of such asthmatics with in 30 days .

Every asthmatic at the end of each day shift will successfully demonstrate  evidence of being able to competently state why they must take their daily medication,  when  they should  take and demonstrate how to  deliver it effectively themselves . 

  You theorize if each RT was given 5 asthmatics for one 12 hour shift and allowed to spend up to a total  of  1.5 hours through out the 12 hour shift- outcome is this – this drop in readmission to the hospital within 60 days

You will need a manager on nights and days to assure staff are providing the education .  This will take about 10 minutes of their time every shift.    You will be asking the IT department to report data from the EMR showing admits and readmits of patients receiving education from Resp Care .  You will also be interviewing those patients who do return within 30 days to gain insight as to why they had to be readmitted so soon.

  This would be your quality project-  You need to assure you tell us why you picked this quality project and tell us how you will sell  this to your CEO .  You must include the number of staff you would need to use on a typical 12 hour shift to assure success of the project.  Tell us how you will keep track of the daily progress and how you will provide the quality metric.
