Analyzing the Losses of Others

 

Background:  This project will involve interviewing three individuals about their most significant loss in Life.  You will then analyze your findings in relation to concepts from the text/class.

 

 

 

  1. Interview 3 people about the thoughts and feelings they experienced relative to the GREATEST loss in their lives.  Ask each person, “What is the greatest loss that you have experienced in your life so far?”  Remember the loss does not have to be about death!  Let each person decide his/her own greatest loss.  If at all possible you will want to interview relatives for this project.  You may be surprised at the insights you gain into your own family.
  2. Before you interview your interviewees, be sure to compose a list of questions that you will ask.  Ask each person the same questions.  You may also use some of the sample questions listed below.  You must ask a minimum of five (5) questions.

     

 

  • What was your greatest loss so far in your life?
  • What exactly happened?
  • Did you experience any different physical symptoms as a result of this loss?
  • Were there any unusual emotional thoughts or feelings you had as a result of this loss?
  • Were there any changes in your daily routine following this loss?
  • How were your sleep patterns affected by this loss?
  • What words best describe exactly what you lost from your life?
  • Has this loss changed you as a person?  If so, how?
  • Has this loss helped you to understand others who have had a similar loss?  In what ways?

 

  1. Face-to-face interviews are strongly recommended!  Skype interviews are allowed.  Email and telephone interviews are NOT permitted.  It is important for you to see the facial expressions of the person you are interviewing.  Sometimes these will tell you more than the person verbalizes.
  2. Be probative in your interviews.  When a person gives a one word answer, follow up with something like, “Tell me how that felt.”  “Describe what you mean when you say….”
  3. Summary Section: Write a summary of your 3 interviews.  Compare the answers from your respondents.  How do their loss experiences compare with yours?
  4. Conclusion Section : What was most remarkable to you about this project?  Did any of your interviewee’s answers surprise you or were they exactly what you expected?  What lessons did you learn while doing this assignment?

     

     

    Formatting Instructions _ Paper must include:

 

  • Title Page with the title of project, class name, class number, your full name, and date.
  • Name of each person you interviewed and their relationship to you.
  • Exact time, dates, and locations that you interviewed each person.
  • Each person’s signature,  These will be hand written on a separate piece of paper.
  • Each person’s answers as verbatim as possible.  Do not write it from the 3rd person, “He said that…” typed directly beneath each question(single space the answers)  Use bold type for the questions and regular type for the answers.
  • A summary section Double-space this section.
  • A conclusion section. What was most remarkable or noteworthy to you?  Why? What did you learn from this assignment?

Ethical Dimensions of Research Studies

In the best-selling book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Skloot, 2010), the author highlights the true story of an African-American woman who died in 1951 from cervical cancer. What makes her story unique is that prior to her death, cells from her tumor were removed and successfully grown in a petri dish. This was the first time scientists were able to successfully replicate cells outside the body, and it is estimated that billions of Lacks’ cells have been used in medical research. However, Henrietta Lacks was never asked for permission to take a sample and her family was never made aware of the widespread use of her cells. Although the culturing of her cells has been pivotal for advancing research, strong ethical concerns later arose about using these cells without patient or family approval.

 Skloot, R. (2010). The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. New York, NY: Crown Publishing Group.

 

This week’s readings describe historical examples of unethical research, such as a study of syphilis among African-American men in which treatment was withheld and a study in which live cancer cells were injected into elderly patients. Today, stricter controls that seek to protect study participants are placed on researchers, but breaches still occur. Careful attention must be given toward preventing unethical behavior. In this Discussion, you explore ethical considerations and issues in research.

To prepare:

  • Select a current health-related case involving research ethics. (If none come to mind, browse the Internet to familiarize yourself with recent cases.)
  • As you review the case that you have selected, reflect on the ethical principles discussed in “What Are the Major Ethical Issues in Conducting Research?” article found in this week’s Learning Resources. Which principles were breached in the case you have identified?

 

Post  a (1) description of the case that you selected and the ethical issues involved. (2) Analyze the ethical principles that were breached by the researchers or organizations in your selected case as well as the possible cause of the breach(es). (3) Suggest how the research might have been conducted differently to avoid or minimize the ethical problems. (4) Discuss how research can be done on sensitive issues while still protecting the rights of the rights of the research subjects

) Explain the rationale for the change, and whether or not the intended outcomes have been met. (3) Assess the management of the change, and propose suggestions for how the process could have been improved.

As a nurse leader, you need to have the skills and knowledge to collaborate and communicate with those who plan for and manage change. This capacity is valuable in any health care setting and for many different types of change. Furthermore, it is essential to be able to evaluate a change effort and determine if it is promoting improved outcomes and making a positive difference within the department or unit, or for the organization as a whole.

To prepare:

Review Chapters 7 and 8 in the course text. Focus on the strategies for planning and implementing change in an organization, as well as the roles of nurses, managers, and other health care professionals throughout this process.
Reflect on a specific change that has recently occurred in your organization or one in which you have worked previously. What was the catalyst or purpose of the change?
How did the change affect your job and responsibilities?
Consider the results of the change and whether or not the intended outcomes have been achieved.
Was the change managed skillfully? Why or why not? How might the process have been improved?
Post (1) a summary of a specific change within an organization and describe the impact of this change on your role and responsibilities. (2) Explain the rationale for the change, and whether or not the intended outcomes have been met. (3) Assess the management of the change, and propose suggestions for how the process could have been improved.

Explain the differences between electronic health record implementation, adoption, and optimization.

/0 Comments/in /by

Today’s healthcare organizations are challenged with multiple projects occurring simultaneously.  Electronic health record implementation is a long-term commitment of financial, physical, and human resources. One aspect of this implementation project is workflow analysis: the transition from paper-based documentation to using technology for all aspects of managing patient information poses a significant change and often challenges to how busy clinicians work. A third component of a large-scale technology project could be the implementation of a patient portal.

In a 3- to 5-page essay, respond to the following:

  • Explain the differences between electronic health record implementation, adoption, and optimization.
  • Explain the concept of an electronic health record migration path.
  • Discuss how the electronic health record is not a single application or computer device, but a complex set of software and hardware.
  • Define workflow analysis and explain the steps necessary when attempting to complete a workflow redesign within a departmental area (you may choose any department within a healthcare organization).
  • Describe the benefits a patient portal will bring to patients in a healthcare organization. Describe why patient portals are becoming more popular and how health informatics professionals can help in their management.
