You will create an infographic from the provided template that will inform and educate your population of interest using the following criteria:

1.       Create an APA-formatted title page that will be included as a separate Word document. In addition to the APA-required information on this title page, include your target audience and feedback from a member of your target audience. (Note: You will first create the infographic, share it to obtain feedback, and then document this feedback on your title page.)

2.       Review the 3 objectives you listed in your Health Promotion Plan. Utilizing these objectives and the content in the “outline” section of your Health Promotion Plan, develop content for your infographic.

3.       Use text, headings, and graphics to convey the content to your target audience for them to achieve the stated objectives.

4.       Include understandable information about your behavioral theory/model as it applies to your topic and provide a reference for your behavior change theory in your reference section. Select at least one element from your chosen behavior change theory and demonstrate an application of the behavior change model that can be implemented by the reader

1.       For example, the Health Belief Model could be utilized by providing a statistical fact on the incidence of a disease and potential poor health outcomes if recommendations are not followed. The Transtheoretical Model might be demonstrated by inquiring about readiness to change and a reminder on resources. Social Cognitive Theory might be demonstrated by asking the reader to select a support group to join. An application of the Theory of Planned Behavior might be to inquire about a change in attitude after reading the infographic along with intentions for the future.

5.       When writing your content, use simple and straight-forward language appropriate for your target audience. Proper spelling, grammar, and mechanics are required. Remember to avoid using medical jargon and complex medical terms. 

6.       Include references and in-text citations for your sources. You need a minimum of three scholarly or professional sources. Include APA-formatted references in the section of the infographic labeled “References.” The font can be made smaller than 12 (no smaller than 8 size font) to fit your references into this section as needed. They do not need to be double spaced on this document.

7.       Please note you will need to share your infographic with a member of your target audience and document their feedback on the title page.  For example, “John Doe reviewed the infographic and indicated he had difficulty understanding some of the terms. The terms were modified.” You may not document feedback from a healthcare provider or patient.

8.       Save your final document as a .pdf file format and upload to the dropbox.

In your group you will brainstorm and decide what social phenomenon your paper will examine. This can be anything we “do” in society today. Then you will decide which era everyone will contribute to the history section, which country you will contribute to the cross-cultural section, and which macro perspective you will contribute to the macro perspectives section. When you have decided all of this, one person in the group will send a DM that CCs me and your groupmates with a brief proposal of your topic and which parts each of you will contribute to each perspective. The proposal is due by Sunday, Week 3, 11:59 pm, as an inbox message (1 proposal per group, and I will give more details about this once groups are assigned, in an announcement). Learning Objectives Banner Demonstrate the ability to use a societal framework in order to analyze any given situation rather than an individual analysis. Writing Prompt Banner WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT (50 points): In groups of four, you will complete an 8 – 10 page research paper examining how something that we do not usually think about in our daily lives has been socially constructed. This can be anything and creativity is encouraged. You will consider your “stuff” from three perspectives, and each group member will contribute one part per perspective (see below), to explain how that thing has come to be the way we know it today. *Every paper must have the following sections: Historical Section: Each group member will pick a specific era in your “stuff’s” United States history (go back as far as possible). Research and write about your era, and then put the together in chronological order in this section of the paper. Cross-cultural Section: Each group member will pick a different country. Research and write about how your “stuff” is used in your country in present day, and then put each country together in this section of the paper. Macro Perspectives Section: Each group member will pick another macro perspective that you can relate to your “stuff” (i.e. gender, politics, media…). You will research and write about how that macro perspective has shaped our understanding/experiences of your “stuff” in present day, United States culture. Each section should have a subheading heading and be included in your final paper. In the paper you will take a sociological and objective approach. For example, if you are researching marijuana I DO NOT want a paper about why smoking marijuana is bad for people and should not be legalized (or, on the other hand, why you think it should be legal). Your paper should be in standard essay form, 12 pt font, double spaced, 1” margins. Please proofread. You must have a works cited page listing at least 8 outside sources (2 per group member). You will upload the final paper here (one person in the group will submit the paper), and it must be turned in as a word doc, pdf, or goggle doc. No other file will be accepted, and if another format is submitted that will result in a grade of zero for the group. Turn them in on the assignment page (Module 14.1). VISUAL PRESENTATION (25 points): You will also be responsible for turning in a visual presentation to represent your “stuff” and share what you learned with the class (approach it like, what would you use to accompany a presentation in a face-to-face class, i.e. powerpoint presentation, prezi, etc.,). These will be uploaded to a discussion board thread (Module 14.2) In your group you will brainstorm and decide what social phenomenon your paper will examine.

NURS 4030 Assessment 3 Instructions

PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach

Instructions

Create a 3-5 page submission in which you develop a PICO(T) question for the diagnosis you worked with in the first two assessments and evaluate the evidence you locate, which could help to answer the question.

 

Introduction

PICO(T) is an acronym that helps researchers and practitioners define aspects of a potential study or investigation.

 

It stands for:

 

P – Patient/population/problem.

I – Intervention.

C – Comparison (of potential interventions, typically).

O – Outcome(s).

T – Time frame (if time frame is relevant).

The end goal of applying PICO(T) is to develop a question that can help guide the search for evidence (Boswell & Cannon, 2015). From this perspective, a PICO(T) question can be a valuable starting point for nurses who are starting to apply an evidence-based model or EBPs. By taking the time to precisely define the areas in which the nurse will be looking for evidence, searches become more efficient and effective. Essentially, by precisely defining the types of evidence within specific areas, the nurse will be more likely to discover relevant and useful evidence during their search. When applying the PICO(T) approach, the nurse can isolate the interventions of interest and compare to other existing interventions for the evidenced impact on the outcome of the concern.

 

You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health PICO(T) Process activity before you develop the plan proposal. This activity offers an opportunity to practice working through creating a PICO(T) question within the context of an issue at a Vila Health facility. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 3 successfully. This is for your own practice and self-assessment and demonstrates your engagement in the course.

 

Reference

Boswell, C., & Cannon, S. (2015). Introduction to nursing research. Jones & Bartlett Learning.

 

Professional Context

As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.

 

PICO(T) is a framework that can help you structure your definition of the issue, potential approach that you are going to use, and your predictions related to the issue. Word choice is important in the PICO(T) process because different word choices for similar concepts will lead you toward different existing evidence and research studies that would help inform the development of your initial question. When writing a PICO(T)-formatted research question, you want to focus on the impact of the intervention and the comparison on the outcome you desire.

 

Scenario

For this assessment, please use the diagnosis you worked with in the first two assessments.

 

Instructions

After reviewing the materials you created to research a specific diagnosis in the first two assessments, apply the PICO(T) process to develop a research question and research it.

 

Your initial goal is to define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In some cases, a time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing a question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define your question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two sources of evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze them in more depth. Specifically, interpret each source’s specific findings and best practices related to your chosen diagnosis, and explain how the evidence would help you plan and make decisions related to your question.

 

If you need some structure to organize your initial thoughts and research, the PICOT Question and Research Template document (accessible from the “Create PICO(T) Questions” page in the Capella library’s Evidence Based Practice guide) might be helpful.

 

In your submission, make sure you address the following grading criteria:

 

Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. Create a PICO(T)-formatted research question

Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question (databases, journals, websites, etc.).

Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence as it relates to the identified health care issue.

Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question.

Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using the current APA style.

Final Project Option B: You Be The Chief

Scenario 1

Atlanta has experienced a series of incidents of scandalous police shootings of unarmed individuals and accusations of racial profiling in both police use of physical force and traffic stops. This has led to widespread protests around the city and calls from citizens, community leaders and local politicians for police reforms to address these issues and repair police community relations.In your writing assignment, outline the steps your department would take to reduce illegitimate usage of physical force and racial profiling, and the proactive efforts you would take to help repair police-community relations and enhance police legitimacy. These reforms can include changes in hiring practices, introducing new trainings, changing police tactics, improving supervision of police officers, enhancing police accountability and punishment of wrong doing and so forth.

Steps To Complete This Assignment

1. Read the final assignment information on 4.8 Exam 3 & Final Project
2. Review both police chief scenarios and choose one. Write an assignment in response to the scenario you choose. This assignment will follow the general structure for a short academic essay/term paper.
3. Begin your assignment with a brief introduction that describes the scenario you chose and tells the reader the that following sections will make evidence-based recommendations for each component of the scenarios you are asked to address above.
4. In the body paragraphs of your assignment, discuss each of the issues you are addressing, outline your response to each, and argue why it is likely to succeed based on research evidence. This should be by far the longest section of your paper (3-4 pages of the 5-page minimum)
5. Summarize your recommendationsin a brief conclusion. Explain why you, as chief of police, feel they are the best way to effectively address your chosen issues.

How Will I Evaluate Your Assignment? 

To succeed with this assignment, make sure that you follow these format and length requirements:

• Required Length: The assignment must be at least FIVE typed, double-spaced pages in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins. The paper must be a minimum of 5 FULL pages, not counting a title page or the references page at the end. You will turn in your paper via upload to the final course assignment folder on the course iCollege page.
• Required Sources: Your assignment must include a MINIMUM of three scholarly sources outside of the course materials on iCollege. Note that many answers will need to draw from more than three sources as likely more than three recommendations will be made in more complex recommended solutions.  By scholarly source I mean a research journal article or scholarly book, not Wikipedia or other websites, newspapers, magazines and so forth.
• Proper Citations: Use APA format where applicable, if you draw from any sources outside of course material. See citation formatting examples (in APA style) at the end of this assignment sheet. When drawing from course materials on the iCollege page you may just more casually refer to them. For example, “As discussed in the course materials in module 3.2….”
• Review the assignment rubric for more detail on how these reports will be evaluated

Using the list below, select ONE company and review their ESG-related reporting. Using this information and your own opinion, write a 400+ word memo that addresses the following questions.

• Using the ESG Reporting, explain how the company addresses each aspect – Environmental, Social and Governance
• In your personal opinion, does information reported on ESG have an impact on your assessment of the company?
