Epidemiology and the stages of disease prevention

In this activity, you will apply the concept of prevention in terms of stages to a chronic disease control strategy in your country and consider the ways in which epidemiology can inform public health intervention.

Step 1: Review Table 6.1 “Levels of prevention” found on page 104 in this resource: Basic Epidemiology. (see attachment here) 

WHOBasicEpidemiology.pdf

Step 2: Choose one non-communicable chronic disease that is either prevalent in your community and one that you should know about as an APN.  

Step 3: Briefly describe several actions the APN, the state and US could take to contribute to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of your chosen chronic disease.  

Please address each of the following points in 200 to 300 words:

Primary: Briefly research (using online resources from a government, university, or professional association) and summarize the common risk factors for your chosen disease. Explain one or more actions your state/country could take to reduce the population’s exposure to one or more of these risk factors. (Note: Specify if you are recommending a strategy that targets the entire population or only high-risk individuals. ‘Population strategy’ and ‘High-risk individual strategy’ are described on pages 105-108 of the activity resource.)

Secondary: Briefly describe at least one common screening test for your chronic disease, and one or more actions your state/country could take to increase access to or increase public awareness of the benefits of this test. (Government websites are often a good place to get information about screening programs in your country. For example, information on cancer screening in the U.S.A. can be found here: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/screening/)

Tertiary: Summarize one or more actions the healthcare system in your state/country could take to reduce the progression or complications of the disease you chose to focus on. (For example, you could describe the treatment, rehabilitation, or any other approaches that would help people, with the chronic disease, live longer and healthier lives).

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, all discussion posts must be minimum 500-550 words, references must be cited in APA format 7th Edition, and must include minimum of 3 scholarly resources published within the past 5-7 years (not part of the classroom coursework).  

Empowerment

  1. How does empowering and decision-making as a nurse leader relate to client safety outcomes? 
  2. When would you use empowering strategies? 
  3. Why is empowerment so challenging to implement as nurses? 
  4. Next, create an Empowering scenario using the following features:

The Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretative Statements was developed to guide nurses in ethical decision making and analysis.  

Nurses are expected to adhere to and embrace the standards of these provisions which include our values, morals, and ideals of the nursing profession (ANA, 2015).

This Code of Ethics outlines the very essence of what it means to be a nurse.

This module will introduce you to the nine provisions outlined in the Code of Ethics for Nurses.

When discussing Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research we think of three distinct yet interconnected research paradigms employed across various disciplines. These approaches differ in philosophical foundations, data collection techniques, and analytical methods while sharing a joint commitment to rigorous research. It is essential to draw upon recent scholarly resources published within the past three years to elucidate the differences and similarities among these methodologies.

Quantitative research is characterized by its emphasis on the numerical data and the statistical analysis to get conclusions and make generalizations (Creswell & Creswell, 2017). Researchers in quantitative studies employ structured surveys, questionnaires, and experiments to collect data from a sizable sample size. Statistical techniques like regression analysis and hypothesis testing are commonly utilized to analyze quantitative data. The hallmark of quantitative research lies in its objectivity and the ability to establish causal relationships and trends within a population.

Qualitative research, on the other hand, focuses on understanding the depth and nuances of human experiences and perspectives (Creswell & Creswell, 2017). Qualitative researchers gather non-numerical data through interviews, observations, and open-ended surveys. The analysis involves thematic coding and content analysis to identify patterns, themes, and meanings within the data. Qualitative research offers a rich and holistic exploration of a phenomenon, often uncovering insights that quantitative methods may miss.

Mixed methods research represents an integration of both quantitative and qualitative approaches within a single study (Creswell & Creswell, 2017). The mixed methods is used by researchers to take the strengths of both paradigms to provide a more comprehensive understanding of their research questions. Data collection and analysis can occur sequentially or concurrently, with findings integrated at various stages. This approach enhances the triangulation of results and allows researchers to explore complex research questions from multiple angles (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018)

While these three research methodologies exhibit fundamental differences, they also share similarities. All of the three approaches adhere to systematic research methods, are committed to ethical conduct (American Psychological Association, 2020), and require rigorous data analysis. Additionally, they contribute to advancing knowledge within their respective fields, each offering unique insights and perspectives.

In conclusion, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research studies are distinct but complementary approaches to research. They differ in data collection, analysis, and philosophical underpinnings while sharing a dedication to sound research practices. Researchers choose these methodologies based on their research questions and objectives, recognizing that each offers valuable contributions to the pursuit of knowledge.
