It was expected by both patients and health professionals that health professionals were the ultimate authority by virtue of their expertise and would therefore make the final decision about what was best for patients (Stone, 1979). Patients were not expected to play an active role in their healthcare. Nor did providers expect patients to abide by their teaching. In fact, information about their health was typically held from them (Flavo, 2011). The patients knowing too much would make the physicians feel less important and the patient would have less respect for them.

Now, patients have total control over their health and the care they receive as well as the ability to remain compliant or not. Despite what they believed back in the day; patients respect providers more when they give information to the patient about their condition. “Patients frequently misinterpret a lack of information as meaning that the truth is so negative that it cannot be shared with them” (Flavo, 2011). I have found that in my practice, patients are more willing to open up, ask for help and return to follow up appointments if the provider and nurses are more open and hands on with the patient teaching.

However, patients must want to participate in their care. They must be active and engaged to have the best possible outcomes. By telling the patient the consequences of not adhering to the care plan can build trust, enforce teaching, and assure the patient is aware of what is going on.

In my field, I always assess the readiness of my patient to learn. Most are post-surgery, so they do not get up without pain medication or wanting to lay in bed all day and not get in the chair. After assessing readiness, I begin planning the day they are admitted, and that plan continues through till the day of discharge.

The involvement of the patient in the decisions concerning their own health has increased over the years. Patients are now expected to assume more personal responsibility for health outcomes, and patient participation in health and health care has been promoted as best practices. In the past, patients were viewed as passive recipients of health care (Stone, 1979). Generally, neither patients were expected to play any active role in their health care by health care professionals too. (Stone, 1979). Today, this has changed drastically. Patients can now ask questions about their health and demand answers.

Today’s health care system accommodates the personal feelings that patients have on the various treatment plans available. Clinicians and nurses are now being trained on involving patient in their health care practice decision making process from school. I still remember reading patient right, informed consent chapters in nursing school which always guide us to inform patient any all his health issues and get permission before performing and treatment plan. This is an example of empowering patients to make decision in their health care. Technology is considered to be one of the significant sources of developing control over health in people. Patient gain lot of health information related to their health problems in internet so they can get more information and easily understand the therapeutic intervention and make decision appropriately Internet where we can get preventive measures to illness in primary level has enabled people to practice healthy health habit to avoid illness . People are gaining control over health. For example looking to internet and practicing yoga is also an example of gaining control over fitness and health. My 20 year old cousin has DM and he is aware about his disease, sign and symptoms of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia ,diabetic diet, he states “ aunty I learnt all this from health related websites”. This in just an example how people have knowledge about their health condition and can make decision based upon this knowledge with health care team.

Discussion 1

Provide examples of experimental and nonexperimental research design. Contrast the levels of control applied to each.

Discussion 2 

Describe sampling theory and provide examples to illustrate your definition. Discuss generalizability as it applies to nursing research.

How Would You Handle This Petition?

Betty Smith, a unit clerk, has come to see you, the nurse-manager of the medical unit, to complain of flagrant discriminatory practices against female employees of University General Hospital.  She alleges that women are denied promotional and training opportunities comparable to those made available to men.  She shows you a petition with 35 signatures supporting her allegations.  Ms. Smith has threaten to forward this petition to the administrator of the hospital, the press, and the Department of Labor unless corrective action is taken at once.  Being a woman yourself, you have some sympathy for Ms. Smith’s complaint.  However, you believe overall that employees at University General are treated fairly regardless of their sex.

Ms. Smith, a fairly good employee, has worked on your unit for 4 years.  However, she has been creating problems lately.  She has been reprimanded for taking to much time for coffee breaks.  Personnel evaluations that recommend pay raises and promotions are due next week. 

Instructions:

1. Read the scenario above and answer the following questions:
   1. How should you handle this problem?
   2. Is the personnel evaluation an appropriate time to address the petition?
   3. Outline your plan and explain your rationale
2. Your paper should be:
   • Typed according to APA style for margins, formatting and spacing standards.
   • Typed into a Microsoft Word document, save the file, and then upload the file

Nichole Rivera Week 10- Main PostCOLLAPSE

     Dissemination of evidence in nursing is the sharing of evidence-based knowledge, research, and findings by nurses to others including health care providers and the general public. This educates others in the nursing field, ensures that practice stays up to date, and improves the cost and quality of care. Some of the more common methods of dissemination include policy briefs, publishing findings in national journals or in statewide publications, presenting at conferences, and speaking publicly at professional association meetings, or creating EBP posters (Carpenter, Nieva, & Albaghai, 2020).

     Two methods that I would never use include the two forms of public speaking. I would love to attend those events, but I am not an effective public speaker because I am so uncomfortable with it. Two forms that I would consider using would be the smaller scale ones to start, such as state-wide publications and possibly EBP posters. In regards to the EBP posters, some barriers may be due to the use and delay of a printing service, or a private designer. Another consideration would be mistakes in the printing, having to reprint, or having to find another company to print (Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt, 2018). I believe a barrier to both methods would include not being able to read your audience. Consideration in advance of audience likely to be interested can provide cues for suitable packaging and targeted communication of results. Another barrier resulting from not being able to read your audience may be miscommunication. It is impossible to fit every bit of information on a poster, but I love the abbreviated important facts. If the dissemination is considered lacking, the attempt may be looked at as waste of resources that is unable to influence positive health outcomes (Carpenter, Nieva, & Albaghai, 2020).

Dissemination Strategy

Dissemination strategy is an intentionally-developed approach to disseminating a particular project that comprises identifying targeted potential adopters, evaluating the climate of readiness for change, planning engagement building throughout the project, and allowing project results transfer. Dissemination is the process of distributing or circulating information, generally (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2018). There are numerous ways of spreading the evidence.  When delivered in a context of caring and a supportive organizational culture, the highest quality of care and best patient outcomes can be achieved (Gallagher-Ford et al., 2011).

Two dissemination strategies that I would be most inclined to use and why

Unit-level presentation and local dissemination are the two dissemination strategies I would want to use. A unit-level presentation and local dissemination are the best dissemination strategies (Harvey & Kitson, 2015). Unit-level dissemination is merely successful, mostly guaranteeing where the issue considered improves the unit’s underlying problem. Different departments with a given setting can have a varied assessment of the operational environment. This means there is a need to take into consideration the context under which the evidence-based practice. Thus, guaranteeing that the engagement is strategic helps ensure that, based on the results, the intervention in place is unit-based (Brownson et al., 2018). Organizations try hard to apply crucial aspects of improving their performance. Nevertheless, evidence-based practice eliminated the uncertainty risk, which is essential in attaining better results.

Local dissemination involves essential players at the local level, which is a better aspect that emphasizes institutional development (Hall & Roussel, 2016).  Nevertheless, it is crucial to ensure that the dissemination of outcomes is done in an environment with resources and technical aptitude to achieve better results. Knowledge and Skills among the population are likely to be a challenge in efficiently implementing the developed practice. There is a need to manage existing stakeholders’ needs, which is crucial and helps organizational planning and service delivery. Implementing evidence-based practice should create an intensely transformed environment where it is easier to apply the positive change. Thus, training is essential in sanctioning stakeholders to implement evidence-based practice (Brownson et al., 2018). 

Least Inclined Dissemination Strategies to be used

Posters presentation and Podium presentation are the least inclined dissemination strategies I would use in communicating EBP. The poster presentations may not give out enough information, and the presentation may not look exciting and engaging, thereby losing the presentation’s aim. The podium presentation, on the other hand, may experience a low turnout of participants. There could be meager publicity for the presentation leading to low attendance.

Barriers to be Encountered and Overcoming These Barriers

Different obstacles and facilitators in implementing evidence‐based practice interventions have been recognized (Sidani et al., 2016). Unit level Presentation: Lack of interest from staff interest is the obstacle that can experience from the unit level presentation.  An example is staff resistance when a change needs to be applied that the team does not like or want. One of the ways to overcome this obstacle is by involving the staff in the presentation. For example, they are making a member of employees one of the speakers at the presentation. In that manner, they will be very interested in their presentation.

 Local Dissemination: The barrier that could be facing in using peer-reviewed journals is the lack of access to the journals. An example is journals that consent to a subscription fee, which often puts off many readers. One way to defeat this barrier is by giving the readers of such journals free online access.
