Clinical Case Report

Part 2: Case Description and Conceptualization

Part 2 of the clinical case report assignment should be in APA style (title page,

references, etc. but does not require an abstract). This part of the case report will likely

be 6-7 pages, without references. It should include:

(1) The case, with provisional diagnoses (already completed for the paper proposal but

likely modified based on my feedback and any other client information you find helpful in

conceptualization below). See above for guidelines about an effective case. (around 2

pages)

(2) A case conceptualization, to include risk and maintenance factors in the client's

diagnosis(es): (around 4-5 pages)

(2a) Should include a range of etiological factors, based on class readings and

discussions (i.e., cognitive model, memory, emotion, neurobiology,

social/contextual factors),

(2b) These etiological factors should be tied specifically to the case description

(that is, don't speak only generally of risk factors, but how this manifests for the

particular client). In some places (e.g., neurobiology), you may need to use some

conjecture, based on the literature. That is OK. However, your case should

include sufficient detail to be able to relate several risk factors to the

conceptualization.

(2c) Should include discussion of risk factors for, AND maintenance of, PTSD

and/or related symptoms

(2d) Should be integrative, as all risk and maintenance factors intersect (e.g.,

environment affects biology, social context influences both; don't just list

etiological factors)

(2e) Should consider culture and intersectionality of client.

(2f) Should include references to literature (in APA style). NOTE: Please avoid

excessive use of quoted text, instead summarizing/paraphrasing when possible.

Quoted text should be limited to points in which you think the initial wording is

absolutely necessary to convey the author's point, and, in many papers, does not

need to be used at all.

Grading Rubric for Clinical Case Report Part 2: Case Description and

Conceptualization (75 points)

____/22 Case description. Student provides detail on client's background, traumatic

experience(s), symptoms and presenting problems, impairment/distress, and within this

description, sufficient detail to support the case conceptualization.

____/35 Case conceptualization. Student describes risk AND maintenance factors

in the client's diagnosis(es), including a range of etiological factors (i.e., cognitive

model, memory, emotion, neurobiology, social/contextual factors and culture and

identity). These factors are tied specifically to the case description, when possible

and are integrative (i.e., intersections among etiological factors are discussed).

____/9 Incorporation of empirical research. Empirical research and course materials

are incorporated effectively to advance arguments and are cited appropriately in-text.

____/9 Grammar, style, mechanics. Paper is in APA style, includes references, is

proofread, and contains proper grammar, flow, transitions, and headings as appropriate.

Nursing week 5 abstract assignment

Week 5 Abstract, Significance, and Summary

 This week, you will submit the final portions of your paper for review. Please make sure to review all of your instructor's feedback and prepare your research for final submission in week 7.  

Abstract

The abstract is generally used as a searchable, comprehensive overview of your research. When online databases search research, they pull keywords from the abstract. Compose the abstract for your research project. Your abstract should be one page in length, and include the following:

· Describe the research problem and why it is important. 

· Identify the purpose of the study. 

· State the theoretical foundations and/or conceptual frameworks, as appropriate. 

· Summarize the key research question(s). 

· Describe, concisely, the overall research design, methods, and data analysis procedures. 

· Conclude with a statement on the implications for positive social or institutional change.

Your abstract must be a clear and concise overview of your research that would be easily searchable if you were to publish in a journal. 

Significance and Summary 

In 3–4 pages, summarize your study. Provide a summation of evidence (referencing your literature) that the problem is current, relevant, and significant to the discipline. Reiterate the gap in the literature and how your project contributes to social or organizational change in nursing and nursing education.

Within your summary, state the significance of your research by identifying potential contributions of the study that advance knowledge in the discipline. This is an elaboration of what the problem addresses. Provide a strong “take home” message that captures the key essence of your research.

Lastly, describe recommendations for further research that are grounded in the strengths and limitations of the current research as well as the literature you reviewed. Ensure recommendations do not exceed the research boundaries.

Review the rubric for grading criteria.

Examining and interpreting trends in epidemiological measures

In this activity, you will examine and interpret lung cancer 

incidence
 rates in the United States over a 40 year period and compare trends over time between males and females. 


Step 1: 
Access the 

SEER*Explorer
 (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program) data from the U.S National Cancer Institute. Spend at least 10 minutes exploring the data and the functionality of this interactive data-generating tool.


Step 2: 
Generate a graph that illustrates the incidence rates for lung cancer from 1975 to 2017. Ensure that your data set contains information on both sexes.

Use the Seer*Explorer to generate the graph. Make the following selections in the dropdown menus: ‘Lung & Bronchus’ for Choose Cancer Site, ‘SEER Incidence’ for Data Source, 'Race/Ethnicity' for Characteristics to Compare, ‘Both Sexes’ for Sex, ‘All Races (includes Hispanics)’ for Race/Ethnicity Legend, and ‘All Ages’ for Age. Once you have generated the graph, be sure to read the information regarding the 'Data Source' found below the graph to ensure you understand how the data were generated. Click on 'Download and Share' to access the option to save the image.  


Step 3: 
Answer each of the following questions about the data on cancer incidence in 100 words or less.

1.     What types of incidence rates are being presented here?

2.     What do the crude incidence rates tell us?

3.     What do age-adjusted rates tell us?

4.     Why is it important to age-adjust the rate?

Describe the change in U.S. lung cancer incidence from 1975 to 2017 in both men and women combined. Discuss the factors that may account for the observed trends during this time period. Be sure to include a copy of your graph in your completed assignment.  Your answer should contain a maximum of 250 words. Be sure to include a copy of your graph in your completed assignment.  


Step 4: 
Generate a new graph that illustrates the incidence rates for lung cancer in males from 1975 to 2017. Next, include the incidence rates for lung cancer in females during the same time period. Save the graphs.


Step 5: 
Compare and contrast lung cancer incidence rates in males and in females from 1975 to 2017. Discuss the factors that may account for any observed differences. Be sure to justify your answer. Be sure to include a copy of your graphs in your completed assignment. Your answer should contain about 150 words.


Step 6: 
Discuss why it is important for public health practitioners to examine trends in incidence rates over time. Your answer should contain about 150 words.

Please be sure to adhere to the following when posting your weekly discussions:

1. Students are to write their name and the appropriate

discussion number/discussion title in the title bar for each discussion. For

example 
Discussion 1: Micheal Cabrera or Discussion 3: Sheila Smith. This is important in identifying that students are submitting original posts as well as response posts as required.

2. Students are to submit their discussions 
directly onto Blackboard Discussion Board.Attachments submitted as discussion board posts will not be graded.

3.  As a reminder,

  What study type is considered at the highest rung of the evidence-based pyramid? 

  The highest rung on the evidence-based pyramid is the meta-analysis tier. Meta-analysis is a group of systematic reviews of multiple studies to find and compare the absolute best evidence available for a specific condition, population, or intervention. There is a precise, systematic methodology to research, choose, review, and evaluate the studies to include them in the meta-analysis (Tracy, et al., 2023). It gains the top tier of the evidence-based pyramid because meta-analysis yields the strongest level of evidence after all these systematic reviews (Melnyk & Fineoout-Overholt, 2019). These specific meta-analysis studies then present a summary of the current best evidence available for the area of interest. The meta-analyses can then guide clinicians to make evidence-based decisions for the treatment of their patients.
