Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign

To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy
campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and
be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of
nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you
develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done,
you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also
wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people
to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea
of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to
succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help.

Over the next 3 weeks, you will develop a 9- to 12-page paper that outlines a
health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of
a population of your choice. This week, you will establish the framework for
your campaign by identifying a population health concern of interest to you.
You will then provide an overview of how you would approach advocating for
this issue. In Week 9, you will consider legal and regulatory factors that
have an impact on the issue and finally, in Week 10, you will identify ethical
concerns that you could face as an advocate. Specific details for each aspect
of this paper are provided each week. The Final Paper will be due in Week 10.
This paper will serve as the Portfolio Application for the course.

Before you begin, review the complete Assignment.

This week, begin developing your health advocacy campaign by focusing on the
following:

Week 10 Application

To prepare for this final portion of your paper:

• Review provisions 7, 8, and 9 of the ANA Code of Ethics in relation to
advocacy for population health.

• Reflect on the ethical considerations you may need to take into
account in your advocacy campaign.

• Research the ethical considerations and lobbying laws relevant to the
location where your advocacy campaign will occur.

• Consider potential ethical dilemmas you might face in your campaign.

To complete: Revise and combine parts one and two of you previous papers and
add the following:

• Explain any ethical dilemmas that could arise during your advocacy
campaign, and how you would resolve them.

• Describe the ethics and lobbying laws that are applicable to your
advocacy campaign.

• Evaluate the special ethical challenges that are unique to the
population you are addressing.

• Provide a cohesive summary for your paper.

Week 1: Evaluate Two Types of Articles from Business Literature (10 Points)
Various types of writing are useful for professional communication. For
doctoral students, peer-reviewed journal publications are essential. These
publications contain research reports vital for developing dissertations.
However, in the workplace, trade journals and popular press are often more
familiar sources.

This week, two forms of professional literature are reviewed: trade journals
and popular press. Later in the course, we will add academic resources to the
professional resources.

Trade Journals
Many trade journals, such as the AICPA’s Journal of Accountancy, provide
reviews of applications or best practices in an industry related to practical
research useful for daily operations. Expert practitioners frequently write
these articles and focus more on the application of knowledge than the
creation of it. These articles may also focus on applying theories from other
areas to a specific industry problem; for example, using forest conservation
principles in organizational development. Editors review these article
submissions, but because they are more often editorial in nature, they are not
subject to the same rigorous scrutiny as original research journal articles.

Popular Press
The popular press is yet another source of information. Books such as Blue
Ocean Strategy or The World Is Flat are based in research, but are presented
in a more practical light and do not necessarily make clear distinctions
between the facts and opinions they present. News sources, such as Business
Week or Fast Company, also fall into this category where the line between
knowledge and editorial is blurred. Again, editors often review these solely
to avoid factual misstatement, but not to establish validity or reliability of
the opinions expressed.

 

Be sure to review this week’s resources carefully. You are expected to apply
the information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.

Heads-Up to the Signature Assignment
Your culminating Signature Assignment (due in Week 8) will be a reflection of
all that you have learned within the course, and it may require that you
complete some work ahead of time. To ensure you are prepared and have adequate
time to complete this assignment, please review the instructions by looking
ahead to Week 8. You can contact your professor if you have questions.

Introduction

In our daily lives, at school and on the job, there is a need for effective
written communication skills. We have all turned in a report at one time or
another that wasn�t written as well as it could have been. Poor writing
reflects badly on us, it limits the influence we can have on others, and it
steals time away from those who do to decipher what we mean. To avoid these
problems, there are a few commonly accepted principles of writing that we can
follow. The purpose of this writing guide is to outline these principles for
you. You should keep this guide and refer to often; especially when you are
writing a paper for a professor or a letter to your boss.

The manual is broken into three sections. The first section deals with the
document as a whole. This section addresses issues including the best format
to use in certain situations, word choice, and document flow.

The second section deals with paragraphs, their structure and function. It
addresses issues such as paragraph generalization and support, and
transitions.

The third section of this guide will deal with the individual sentence
structure. This includes writing a complete sentence, wordiness, and
punctuation. This section finally touches on the active/passive word use.

The first appendix to this guide contains a diagram, taken from Munter (1997),
about the writing process. This diagram divides writing into five steps: (1)
Gather, (2) Organize, (3) Focus, (4) Draft, and (5) Edit. An important feature
of this diagram is the arrows that return to the beginning after each step.
This is an important feature to emphasize because it highlights the fact that
writing is an iterative process. Good writing does not appear magically, nor
is it a limited skill available only to those with brilliant minds. All good
writing goes through a process of thoughtful analysis (gathering, organizing,
and focusing ideas), drafting, editing, and rewriting. This guide will help
you make some improvements to your writing, but nothing can compensate for
thought and time. We highly recommend that develop a habit of finishing a
draft well before the due date so you can spend consider time editing and
rewriting. Moreover, we encourage you to enlist a friend or colleague who can
critique your writing and make it more effective.

The remaining appendices to this guide contains examples of document format,
including a business letter, a memo, and an e-mail; commonly misused words; a
reading resource list; and self-grading checklist to use in your own writing.

If you have comments or suggestions about this guide, please send them to Dr.
Brown at kenneth-g-brown@uiowa.edu. We hope that you find this brief guide
useful in class and at work!

Purpose and Audience
Your purpose and your audience will determine many critical features of your
document, including your format, strategy, and word choice. So the first thing
to determine when you are writing a document is — Who are your primary and

Compute the right solution of the following question

Question- The Young’s modulus of ice is 9GPa. If a pothole, shaped like a
cylinder, has volume of 4 liters and a diameter of 25 cm, fills up with rain,
and then freezes, the ice wants to expand, at the expense of the surrounding
concrete. The density of water can be taken as 1 kg/liter and the density of
ice is 0.93 kg/liter.

Part 1- Calculate the radius if the ice could form without constraint in the
pothole. Use (delta r/r) as an estimate for the radial strain.

Part 2- Calculate the force that the ice-filled pothole exerts on the
surrounding concrete.

Nursing /Clinical science

What do clinical researchers do

First, let us look at the empirical aspects of the science. What do clinical
researchers do? What methods do they use and how do they control for
confounds? Secondly, let us take a look at the application of the science to
real world practice. What types of reliability and validity should clinical
assessment tools display and what are the pro’s and con’s of structured
interviews verses unstructured interviews and of projective tests verses
standardized tests? What is the purpose of clinical diagnosis?

The flu, a broken leg, cancer, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia….They’ve
all got something in common. Sometimes, we forget that just like a broken leg,
having abnormal bouts of depression, anxiety, etcetera are medical issues that
need to be addressed. As with more observable medical research, psychological
abnormalities also requires clinical research studies to determine different
way to combat the issues or determine the most likely causes for certain
issues. In these studies, researchers are able to establish different concepts
that allow them to test the validity and reliability of their work for future
use on an array of people. During clinical interviews, these tested methods
are put to use to establish clinical diagnoses to help providers care for
their patients and clients in a useful manner.
Clinical researchers conduct studies and trials for new medications, theories,
and applications. The scientific method plays a large role in this particular
career field (of every variation). Researchers regularly go through a similar
process of the “scientific method” which begins by asking a question related
to the topic they wish to run a trial on. Once a question has been asked the
researchers will then accomplish a literature review of sorts to increase
their knowledge of the former results related to the subject. Utilizing this
research, an education hypothesis should be made. A clear set of dependent and
independent variables should be established along with a process to test the
concept/item they wish to test. Often times, this testing will need to be
approved by a particular board associated to the field of study. Of course,
once the process has been approved, the researchers will move on with testing.
Using statistics, observations, and other types of information the researchers
will then analyse the data and draw a conclusion based on the study they
designed (Comer, 2014)

In real world applications, tests and treatments must be used in a sense that
allows them to be reliable and valid in the circumstance. Reliability is
graded by the ability to test and retest a certain item and score relatively
similar results each time. The two tests should generally be taken within a
short time frame (within a couple of weeks or months of each other, rather
than years). Validity, on the other hand, is a bit more complex. Validity can
take a couple of forms: face validity, concurrent validity, and predictive
validity. Face validity is a sort of logic test; does the item we are using
logically appear to fit the scenario it’s being associated to? Predictive
validity helps to predict future behaviours in relation to the situation.
Finally, concurrent validity compares two (or more) items to see if those
items with similar issues result in a similar solution using with the
treatment chosen. (Comer, 2014)

When determining the use of certain applications in a real world scenario,
it’s important to decide whether or not to begin the program with a structured
or unstructured interview of the patient/ client. Unfortunately, with
interviews as a whole, the validity and reliability can be called into
question based on the potential biases of the interviewer or the misdirection
of the interviewee. Unstructured interviews allow the patient/client to
discuss things they feel most comfortable with and what they think may be
causing their issue. The problem with a lack of structure is a potential
misdirection or avoidance of uncomfortable topics, making many question the
reliability of the interview yet again. Structured interviews are slightly
more reliable in a sense that the questions asked could be re-asked with the
likeliness of gather the same answer. Structured interviews may also bring
issues to light that were not considered by the interviewee for a variety of
reasons. Again, as with the unstructured interview, the structured discussion
could be led by a biased interviewer resulting in skewed results or mislead by
an uncomfortable interviewee. (Comer, 2014)

The utilization of all the above (clinical research, reliability/validity, and
interviews) are to determine a clinical diagnosis for issues perceived in an
individual. A clear and reliable diagnosis is the first step to recovery of
the mind or body. Understanding the underlying issues, whether biological,
psychological, emotional, or whatever is what allows medical professionals to
pursue a road to recovery that’s been proven to work in similar situations
through trials and testing.
