  • Developing a Proposal for an Intervention Plan to Address a Health Need in a Specific Population Developing an Intervention Plan to Address a Health Need in a Specific Population Title: “Interventions for Improving Health Outcomes: A Literature Review and Proposal”

    Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
    For the first section of your final capstone project you will develop a proposal for an intervention plan to fulfill a need within a specific population. This assessment is meant to capture your initial thoughts about the need and impacting factors to help focus your in-depth analysis later on in the course.
    First you will brainstorm and crystallize some of your ideas for this assessment, specifically ideas around needs, a target population, and some initial support from the literature and other sources of evidence. The problem statement is an important part of your capstone project as it will help illustrate the importance of your project, as well as help to clarify your project’s scope.
    Preparations
    Read Guiding Questions: Problem Statement (PICOT) [DOC]. This document is designed to give you questions to consider and additional guidance to help you successfully complete this assessment.
    As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
    As you reflect on your work in the field, what population do you feel has the greatest need? Why? Is the need across the population, or within a specific setting?
    What interventions already exist for the selected population? Are they effective? Why or why not?
    How will site support from your practicum and your preceptor support your goals and objectives?
    Instructions
    Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way as to help you build specific skills that you will use throughout your program. Complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
    Your problem statement will focus on presenting information related to the problem-intervention-comparison-outcome-time (PICOT) approach to nursing research. You will also present a brief literature review that supports the need you identified in your problem statement and the appropriateness of your broad intervention approach. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your problem statement will be able to provide substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the other project components in this course, as well as into the final draft of your project.
    At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and the Guiding Questions: Problem Statement (PICOT) document (linked above) to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.
    Reminder: these instructions are an outline. Your heading for this this section should be titled Problem Statement and not Part 1: Problem Statement.

    Homework
    Wk 4 Case Report: Service Delivery
    Wk 4 Case Report: Service Delivery
    Homework Content
    Some assignment components could potentially trigger emotions or trauma. Please contact your faculty member if you have concerns.
    Social workers connect macro-level policy work with mezzo- and micro-level practice by assessing the needs of communities and individuals to deliver helpful social services. For this assignment, you will analyze a client case to determine the community resources you might recommend if you were the social worker assessing the individual in the scenario.
    Scenario
    Complete the following steps to prepare for this assignment:
    Select one of the following scenarios to use as an example situation for this assignment:
    Case 1: Carmen
    Carmen is a 33-year-old Hispanic woman who lives with her husband and 9-year-old son. She reluctantly sought assistance after fleeing her home. The client presents with visible, partially healed lacerations and cuts to the face during the intake session. After being asked about her lacerations and cuts, the client reluctantly reports that her husband had physically become violent after coming home intoxicated. She adds that she decided to flee the home after her husband threatened to kill her and her son. The client fears for her child, who remains with the father. Carmen goes on to reveal that she did not report the incident to authorities because she is undocumented and was afraid of being deported. 
    Case 2: Lian
    Lian is a 20-year-old, first-generation, Asian American transgender client who has been residing at a shelter. She reports having run away from home at the age of 17 following her mother’s rejection after her decision to initiate hormone treatment. For several years, Lian was homeless, at times resorting to sex work to survive financially. She reports that she completed several administrative courses funded through a previous agency that she believes will make her a competitive job candidate, but she also feels that her experiences with discrimination continue to present a barrier to securing gainful employment. Lian cannot afford to change her gender identification across key legal documents such as her driver’s license, which, she admits, has created significant issues for her. She reports that she was recently informed by the shelter that she has 30 days to secure a viable long-term housing solution.   
    Case 3: Lamarcus
    Lamarcus is a 21-year-old African American male who was charged with simple possession of marijuana. Lamarcus is a first-generation college student and works full-time. He reports using marijuana recreationally on occasion to help him with anxiety. As a first-time offender, Lamarcus was directed to a pre-trial diversion program that required him to complete several courses related to risks associated with substance abuse. To avoid conviction, the pre-trial diversion program also required that Lamarcus complete community service hours at a local nonprofit serving at-risk youth. On his second day at the nonprofit, Lamarcus overheard an administrator describe one of the teenagers enrolled at the program as “already exhibiting the characteristics of an angry Black man.” Lamarcus reports that he confronted the administrator, who quickly dismissed his claim and expelled him from the program. He is seeking social services to help him avoid being expunged from the pre-trial diversion program.
    Identify a social welfare policy affecting the client’s situation and research its effects on oppression and social injustice.
    Research services and resources available with in your community and identify 3 programs that could potentially benefit the client.
    Deliverable
    Write a 700- to 1,050-word case report analyzing the selected scenario as if you were the social worker recommending social services to benefit the client in the situation. Include the following in your case report with evidence to support your recommendations:
    Presenting Issue and Case Overview: Summarize the client’s known circumstances, including socioeconomic factors and sources of potential support. Describe the client’s relevant experiences with systemic oppression and social injustices. Summarize your understanding of the unique needs and risks presented by the client.
    Impact of Policy: Identify a policy or policy failure that has significantly affected the client’s life and explain its effects. Explain an improvement that should be made to an existing social welfare policy to enable better outcomes for the client, including ways to safeguard against oppression and social injustice.
    Community Resources: Describe 3 existing community programs available in your area that you would recommend to potentially benefit the client and meet their needs.
    Use the titles of each section listed above as headings to organize your case report.
    Cite scholarly sources and format according to APA guidelines.
    Please use case number 1

  • “Intent vs. Impact: A Case Study on Race and Everyday Interactions” “Racism on Campus: A Clash of Perspectives”

    Purpose of this assignment is for students to see all the ways that race impacts everyday happenings in our lives.
    Instructions/Discussion: Your job is to figure out who is most right and who is most wrong in this situation by discussing the differences between intent and impact.
    Use the following case study to decide which of the characters is most right and which is most wrong. Write a 2 page essay where you explain your decisions and your thought process for this decision.
    Intent vs. Impact
    One of the concepts that must be understood in order to have meaningful discussions about race is the differences between intent and impact. At first glance the differences may seem obvious and unimportant. But let’s look deeper and see what we find.
    Definitions:
    Intent: 1. something that is intended; purpose; design; intention: The original intent of the committee was to raise funds. 2. Law. the state of a person’s mind that directs his or her actions toward a specific object. 3. meaning or significance.
    Impact: 1. the striking of one thing against another; forceful contact; collision: The impact of the colliding cars broke the windshield. 2. an impacting; forcible impinging: the tremendous impact of the shot. 3. the force exerted by a new idea, concept, technology, or ideology: the impact of the industrial revolution.
    Class Example and Assignment:
    Characters:
    Fred, he’s a black male who has been going to BCC for 3 years now and knows the campus pretty well. He is comfortable when at school and always arrives about 5 minutes early to class.
    Jean, she a white female who is new to BCC; this is her first quarter. She doesn’t know where everything is on campus just yet, and is always late for class.
    Situation:
    Monday morning: Fred is waiting for the classroom to empty so that he can enter and attend his Sociology class. It begins at 8.30 daily and he is always there before the previous class lets out. Jean sees that it is 8.25 and she has to be on the other side of campus by 8.30 so she is running. Jean doesn’t see Fred and runs into him full force, says she’s sorry and keeps on her way.
    Tuesday morning: Fred is waiting for the classroom to empty so that he can enter and attend his Sociology class. It begins at 8.30 daily and he is always there before the previous class lets out. Jean sees that it is 8.25 and she has to be on the other side of campus by 8.30 so she is running. Jean doesn’t see Fred and runs into him full force, says she’s sorry and keeps on her way.
    Wednesday morning: Fred is waiting for the classroom to empty so that he can enter and attend his Sociology class. It begins at 8.30 daily and he is always there before the previous class lets out. Jean sees that it is 8.25 and she has to be on the other side of campus by 8.30 so she is running. Jean doesn’t see Fred and runs into him full force, says she’s sorry and keeps on her way.
    Thursday morning: Fred is waiting for the classroom to empty so that he can enter and attend his Sociology class. It begins at 8.30 daily and he is always there before the previous class lets out. Jean sees that it is 8.25 and she has to be on the other side of campus by 8.30 so she is running. Jean just misses hitting Fred this morning and hurries on her way.
    Friday morning: Fred is waiting for the classroom to empty so that he can enter and attend his Sociology class. It begins at 8.30 daily and he is always there before the previous class lets out. Jean sees that it is 8.25 and she has to be on the other side of campus by 8.30 so she is running. Jean doesn’t see Fred and runs into him full force, says she’s sorry and keeps on her way.
    A similar pattern continues for 2 weeks.
    Conclusions:
    By the following Monday morning, two weeks after Fred and Jean first encountered each other the following things are likely to be true: Fred is pissed. This white girl has run into him 8 out of the 10 times that she has passed him. She says that she is sorry but she still hits Fred far more often than she misses him. She can see that he waits in the same spot every day, so it must be that she wants to hurt him. Fred believes that what is happening between them is racism pure and simple, and that anyone one who watched what has been happening all quarter will see things his way. So he calls Jean a racist, and begins to yell that “white people act like they own this campus.” A crowd begins to gather. Jean is shocked by Fred’s anger and becomes angry herself when Fred accuses her of racism. She has simply been trying to get used to college life and finds that she has been running late every morning. When she does knock into Fred she says she’s sorry, so why is he holding this against her? Besides, why do black people always make everything about race? He must not like white people because he seems to be blaming all whites for what is happening between them and he’s making a big fuss in the process. All she has been doing is trying to get to class on time.
