behavior project

/in /by

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to identify common patterns
of social behaviors within a specific social event or a social setting. Your
writing will illustrate your ability to interpret social interactions using
the content from units 1-4.

Activity: Conduct a participant observation procedure by observing a
group/social event. The event could be a trip to a theme park, enjoying a
play at a theater, or a dinner with family at a restaurant. It could also be
attending a religious gathering, hanging out with friends at a coffee
shop, attending a sports event like a baseball or a basketball game,
celebrating a cultural holiday, or attending a meeting at your workplace.
This is NOT a reflection of a past event. the observation of behaviors
must be conducted within 2 weeks of the deadline.

First, write a few sentences about the activity itself including what the
event was, how long it was, and why you chose it. Next, summarize your
observations and describe any behaviors that stand out. Discuss your
thoughts on the common social interaction patterns between the people.
Your writing should illustrate how the observation activity facilitated
your understanding of human behaviors. You should use 2-3 relevant
concepts from at least two different chapters from Units 1-4. The paper
should 2-3 completed pages, excluding the title and the references pages.

Use APA format throughout the paper including for the Title page, and
references and in-text citations

The Health Belief Model (HBM) was developed by Hochbaum, Rosenstock, and Kegels, psychologists working in the US Public Health Services. HBM is based on perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers. This Model can be used to predict health behaviors, for example, the intention to vaccinate or comply with medical interventions. I chose this model because it is important to know if your patients will engage with healthy behavior or not. If it is the latter, you can implement education and resources to help them make healthy choices.

During the COVID pandemic, misinformation had an enormous impact on people following precaution guidelines. Many people ignored recommendations due to their lack of accurate information. The HBM can raise awareness of the relationship between health, information, and the digital landscapes the public interacts with (Houlden et al., 2021).

I believe this model can address my topics because there are a lot of people who have been misinformed about healthy behaviors regarding mental health and childbirth. This model can help screen for those individuals and once identified, education and resources can be offered to encourage better heath decisions.

· I chose the Transtheoretical/Stages of Change Model. This model helps describe a patient's motivation and readiness to change a health-related behavior they may want to improve. It is described in a five-step process and evaluates the patient's behavioral change, the process of the changes, decision-making, and self-efficacy. Here are the five stages of this model: 

      1. Precontemplation: the patient is unaware of their need to change and most likely is unwilling to change. 

      2. Contemplation: this is when the patient begins to develop a desire to change and get better. 

      3. Preparation: personal plans begin of how to change. 

      4. Action: when the patient incorporates the new behavior into their life and/or routine. 

      5. Maintenance: the patient is consistent in changing and demonstrating that change, usually for six months or more. 

· I chose this model because I feel it gives the patient ways to improve and get better in a clear and precise way. It gives the patient their own choice to get better, which I feel is an excellent way to get a patient to change unhealthy behaviors. The patient needs to have that desire to change and get better first. It demonstrates more of an understanding of the actual cognitive and behavioral changes the patient will experience and go through. “Movement through these stages does not always occur in a linear manner, but may also be cyclical as many individuals must make several attempts at behavior change before their goals are realized” (Marcus & Simkin, 1994). It gives the patient time to work through each stage, even if it may not happen the first time, but it helps them feel more fulfilled. 

· This model can be used to address the Healthy People topic and objective I have chosen because, a lot of the time, the patient is unaware they need to change or unwilling to change. They don't know what steps they need to take to get better. Once given the education on how to get better, they need to desire to get better. This model can show the patient that they are getting better and gives them something to look at. It can also show healthcare professionals how the patient is improving and where they are at.

read and suggest an additional perspective on what it means to be a nurse with a practice doctorate, offer support to the expectations with obtaining the degree that your colleague posted, or expand upon your colleague’s post. use 2 refrences 

 Post:

A practice doctorate in nursing is a Doctor in Nursing Practice (DNP). Along the healthcare continuum, the DNP degree prepares nurses for nursing leadership and administration jobs in both clinical and non-clinical settings. According to Graves et al. (2021), a nurse who has earned a practice doctorate engages in advanced clinical practice and offers advanced levels of direct patient care. They use their specific knowledge and abilities to evaluate, identify, and treat complex health disorders. Nurses with practice doctorates are critical to leadership and collaboration in healthcare teams and systems. They work with physicians and other healthcare professionals to create and carry out care plans, enhance patient outcomes, and guarantee coordinated, all-comprehensive treatment.

Additionally, practicing nurses with doctoral degrees frequently work as educators and mentors, communicating their knowledge and experience into nursing students, other medical professionals, and colleagues of DNP nurses, who often fund one of their ideas and conduct research. Doctorly educated nurses must critically assess and apply theoretical frameworks to direct their practice and progress in nursing science. Although nurses with other degrees, such as the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) certainly contribute significantly to nursing practice, it is crucial to remember that doctoral degrees typically come with higher expectations for research, leadership, theoretical comprehension, and planning. DNP graduates are expected to exhibit outstanding leadership and professional abilities, while BSN graduates are expected to deliver safe and competent patient care. Second, whereas DNP graduates are expected to have knowledge and skills in strategies for quality improvement and healthcare innovation, MSN graduates are expected to have advanced clinical abilities and expertise in their chosen specialty, particularly in advanced managerial roles.

By earning a DNP, nurses can increase their knowledge and proficiency in a particular area. My motivation stems from the information I can apply to handle complex mental health challenges and enhance patient outcomes. Assessment and improvement of the quality of healthcare delivery are specialties of DNP nurses. I may recognize, plan, and implement improvement opportunities to improve patient safety, lessen health inequities, and produce better results (Harrison et al., 2021). DNP-holding nurses are in the right position to influence public policy and improve the healthcare system. So that I may support equity, open access, and patient-centered care, I can uncover systemic gaps, make adjustments, and advocate for those changes.

Some of my experiences in addressing a gap in practice within an organization include aligning education with the practice environment. According to Fawaz et al. (2017), it will be necessary for nursing schools, organizations, practitioners, and students to all develop coping mechanisms for handling the sudden entry of new knowledge, ideas, and abilities. In addition, technology significantly impacts how we live our lives and how we practice, educate, manage, and do research. Process-based learning, which could delay the efficient implementation of my practice, is now underemphasized in nursing school.

Case Study

Two new associate-degree graduates were hired for the pediatric unit. Both worked three 12-hour shifts a week; Jan worked the day-to-evening shift and Rosemary worked the night shift. Whenever their shifts connected, they would compare notes on their experience. Jan felt she was learning rapidly, gaining clinical skills and beginning to feel at ease with her colleagues.

Rosemary, however, still felt unsure of herself and often isolated. There have been times that she was the only registered nurse on the unit all night. The aides and LPNs were very experienced, but Rosemary feels she is not ready for that kind of responsibility. Rosemary knows she must speak to the nurse manager about this, but she’s called several times, and she’s never available. The shift assignments are left in the staff lounge by an assistant.

Questions

Your discussion post should answer the following questions in a well-constructed commentary. Use references, in APA format, where appropriate.

  1. To what extent is this problem due to a failure to lead? Who has failed to act?
  2. What style of leadership was displayed by Rosemary? The nurse manager?
  3. How effective was their leadership? What are your suggestions for Rosemary?
