Academic Success And Professional Development Plan Part 4: Research Analysis

Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.

Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.

In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.

What methods can nurses use to actively influence health policies and legislation?

Bottom of Form

Reply 1 Maria Katrina

As a healthcare worker, nurses have the ability to influence health policies and legislation in more ways than they know. “Nurses’ influence on health policy protects the quality of care by access to required resources and opportunities” (Arabi, Rafii, Cheraghi & Ghiyasvandian. 2015). There are many resources available to the nurse so that they can try to create change at the federal, state, and local level of the organization. At the local level, a nurse can become involved by taking on leadership roles that allow them to communicate with local officials or legislations that will affect their hospital. The nurse will have an active voice and be able to provide examples from experience as a frontline worker. At the state and state level, joining more prominent organizations and keeping track of the new policies and legislations is a way to stay involved. This would include any conferences as well as joining larger organizations where they can be a representative of their region or state. It simply starts with being involved and participative within the hospital system and then figuring out how to spread their knowledge and information. Nurses can also email or call local or state offices to figure out who to address their concerns to.

There are various methods nurses can utilize to influence health policies and legislation. Nurses are often at the front line and witness first-hand how the health care system is unable to meet patient needs.  Rules, regulations, policies, and legislation are often put into action without a nurse input therefore delivery of health care or health care access can be poor. In order for nurses to contribute and effect change it has to begin with moving out of their comfort zone and into the arena of policy making. It is a responsibility that gives nurses the platform to make a difference. Successful advocacy can bring about changes and many state nursing and specialty nursing organizations sponsor annual state legislative days and offer policy internships. Nurses can attend policy workshops that are created to provide nurses the opportunity to learn more about health care issues and the legislative process. There is also another avenue in which nurses can join professional nursing organizations to enhance efforts. Organized nursing associations have more resources and able to strategize effectively versus individual nurses. Nurses must also be educated and informed of the legislative process and knowing who the key players are that will affect the change needed. In the end, there are multiple ways for nurses to influence policy and it begins with advocating through the simple actions of making a phone call or even writing a letter expressing your opinion. A nurse can also run for office themselves to influence health policies and legislation (ANA, 2007).

Discuss the controversy regarding childhood immunization and the potential affect on community health.

 

Reply 1 Sabrina

Choosing to vaccinate your child is both controversial and more recently, very political. Research has been conducted both for vaccinations, as well as reasons as why to not vaccinate. Government officials push vaccinations for children to prevent widespread infections of preventable diseases. Some feel that the government has an agenda to infect children with poisonous vaccinations.  “Limiting the development and use of vaccines however are social, political, ethical, and economic considerations, and this article will provide a brief exploration of each of these issues and the intersection with the need for such vaccines.” (Poland, et al, 2009) Political views are interjected within the vaccination debate. Some parents feel that the risks of side effects outweigh the benefit from the vaccinations.

Reply 2 David

Unfortunately, there have been many controversy regarding childhood immunizations and the potential affect on the community health. There are groups called “anti-vaxxers” who believe its actually bad to vaccinate their children. One big reason why “anti-vaxxers” believe vaccines are bad is because they believe vaccines do more harm than good. Another reason why vaccines are bad is because it isn’t good to give multiple vaccines at one time. “A number of studies and reviews have been conducted to examine the effects of giving various combinations of vaccines simultaneously. These studies have shown that the recommended vaccines are as effective in combination as they are individually, and that such combinations carry no greater risk for adverse side effects” (CDC 2020). There has been a large debate regarding vaccines as of late. Another example would be the measles break out at Disneyland. It was so bad that the theme park had to close for a period of time to make sure it was safe for tourist to visit. When people stop taking vaccines, they add to the problem of a disease coming back. Even though they might think a disease has been eradicated.

We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.

• Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

• Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

• APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

• Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

• LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

• Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

• Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
