A nurse researcher hypothesized that subjects who participated in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy” to improve self-concept would score higher on the Adolescent Self-Concept Measuring Device (ASMD) than subjects who did not participate in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy” to improve self-concept.

 

The purpose of the study was to examine and compare the Adolescent Self-Concept Measuring Device (ASMD) scores of pregnant adolescents who participated in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy” and the ASMD scores of pregnant adolescents who did not participate in the program “Build Your Self-Concept During Pregnancy”.

 

Self-concept was operationalized as measured by the ASMD. This instrument has been evaluated for content and construct validity. The instrument has a Cronbach’s alpha co-efficient (.93).  The tool consists of 20 items with each item scored at intervals of 0-5 to represent each subject’s evaluation of her self-concept. Possible scores on the tool are from 0 to 100.

Here is a sample text that shows the “thought process” to critique the abstract from Hayes’ (2014) research study about the impact of new medication prescriptions for older adults who are discharged from the emergency department. Using a step thought process, the template questions, and headings keeps you focused and on track with your critique work.

 

Step 1- Nieswiadomy (2012) recommends that the abstract should use 100-200 words to summarize the research study and should contain the essential components (i.e., purpose, hypothesis or research question(s), methods, description of subjects, and major findings).

Step 2 – Hayes’ (2014) abstract contained 154 words, the purpose ( i.e.,  to determine the effect of newly prescribed medications for older adults discharged from the emergency department), the research question (i.e., What is the effect of newly prescribed medications for older adults discharged from the emergency department?), the methods (self-administered Medication Complexity Index and telephone administration of the Knowledge of Medication subtest at 48-72 hours after discharge from the emergency department), and a description of the subjects (i.e., 60 adults aged 65-90 years). The abstract did not contain the major findings of the study. NUR 343 Argumentative Nursing Research Paper

Step 3 – Constructive suggestions for the researcher: Hayes (2014) could have reported the study’s findings in the abstract in order to attract the reader’s attention (Nieswiadomy, 2012). Hayes (2014) needed to better emphasize and give examples to demonstrate how emergency nurses can use her research findings in their practice. In particular, emergency nurses need information about working with the aging adult population who receive newly prescribed medications at discharge.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Deep Venous Thrombosis Essay

Chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis are both conditions that affect the veins .Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, to effect this important function there are valves which prevents backflow of blood, pooling, and clotting in the lumen. These conditions both affect the legs ie the calf muscle and the lower extremities in different ways. Here we evaluate the conditions on the following topics, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment

According to(Gulati, 2013) Chronic venous insufficiency is estimated to affect 40%of people living in the united states and highly occurs in women of more than 50yrs of age. This is due to the continued inability of the veins to carry blood back to the heart. This happens when the calf muscle does not contract regularly to compress the veins and aid in an upward flow of blood Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Deep Venous Thrombosis Essay. Hence increased pressure is applied on the valves which are positioned to stop the backflow blood i.e. one-way valves. this causes damage to the valve, as a result, the blood flows back and pools in veins lumen .the pooling are known as stasis .When a clot is formed it blocks the flow causing more pressure to the smaller vein that can easily burst .When this happens a reddish-brown, sensitive to bump swelling occurs and if broken a very painful ulcer occurs.

This is common due to the high population of aged people in unites states, also a very sedentary lifestyle that many have adopted or sometimes the cause may be secondary to pelvic tumors. Idiopathic chronic venous insufficiency is also common Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Deep Venous Thrombosis Essay.

The common signs and symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency include edematous ankles and calf muscle, newly formed varicose veins, aching or always tried legs, lathery-looking and itching skin on the legs, static ulcers

This can be diagnosed by use of duplex ultrasound, this simply placing a small device on the skin where you will be able to visualize the blood flow by use of waves .x rays can also come in handy if the duplex ultrasound is not available

The most common treatment for chronic venous insufficiency is a lifestyle change; this includes wearing of compression stocking, exercises that involve the calf muscle e.g. walking. Avoid standing or sitting for long hours. In medical management, the physician may give some antibiotics if ulcers have formed. Anticoagulants to stop clot formation. pain killers to relieve pain if they are painful. Management may also involve non-invasive methods like sclerotherapy, a procedure where the doctor injects a solution into affected to scar and eventually cause bypass of the affected vein. Technologically treatment has improved to Endovenous thermal ablation where radio waves are used to heat and close the affected vein Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Deep Venous Thrombosis Essay. Vein ligation, vein repair, vein transplant, and vein bypass can be done.

Deep venous thrombosis condition affects a vein deep inside the body, the pathophysiology of deep venous thrombosis formation of a clot which in turn blocks the vein causing pooling in vein.

The major cause of DVT is a blood clot. Which may result from various reasons these include; injury to a blood vessel, drugs that encourage blood clotting, surgery: this happens when clot escapes the eye of the surgeon before suturing. and reduced movement either by age or sickness.

According to a center for diseases control and prevention( CDC), deep venous thrombosis have the following symptoms; swelling of the ankle or general foot, cramping pain starting from the calf muscle, warmth on the affected area, and change of color on the affected area.these are symptoms for lower extremities but if one has deep venous thrombosis on hands one may experience neck pain, shoulder pain, and sometimes general weakness on the affected hand.

To diagnose deep venous thrombosis you can perform the following ;a compression test where one gets to express pain on compression,checking of temperature on the painful area. A venous dropper ultra sounded and dimmers blood test can also be done

The methods of treatment for deep venous thrombosis are both invasive and non-invasive methods. These methods include the use of compression stockings, insertion of filters in the large abdominal vein known as venacava to prevent clots from moving to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. The physician commonly prescribes the use of warfarin to dissolve clots and advice on reduced exercise to stop the clots from moving up to the lungs Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Deep Venous Thrombosis Essay.

In comparison, the major difference in Chronic Venus Insufficiency and Deep Venous thrombosis is that Deep venous thrombosis is the formation of a be a blood clot within a deep vein causing blockage and Chronic Venous Insufficiency is a decrease in blood flow from the legs to the heart. Deep venous thrombosis can be cured while chronic venous insufficiency does not have a cure. They also have a no of similarities these include they cause edema, pain, and discoloration. The risk for both conditions are related and be caused by similar conditions. Inactivity can cause an increase in both conditions and can be prevented by increasing daily activity. Diagnosis of CVI and DVT can be done by use venous Doppler ultrasound and D-Dimer blood test Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Deep Venous Thrombosis Essay.

This estimate contributes to approximately 10% of the global disease burden and is expected to increase by the year 2030 (David et al., 2018).  In the United States, behavioral and mental disorders affect close to 50 million adults. However, despite the high prevalence, highly recognized therapies are effectively being used to alleviate this problem resulting to improved health outcomes CBT vs REBT Essay. The best examples of therapies being used are: cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavioral therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment approach used to manage people with different mental and behavioral health problems based on thoughts, behavior and emotions. In comparison, rational emotive behavioral therapy emphasizes on rational thinking for the development of healthy expressions and emotional behavior. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between the two behavioral therapies and how the differences might impact my clinical practice as a mental health counselor. CBT vs REBT Essay To add on, I will discuss about the version of cognitive behavioral therapy I would use with clients with supporting reasons.

Similarities Between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) And Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavioral therapy use theories which are founded from the ABC model. Therefore, the two therapies have similar beliefs in terms of development and maintenance of psychopathology (Brown  & Gaudiano, 2013) CBT vs REBT Essay.  To add on, the practical applications of both CBT and REBT are the same more so in terms of organization and interrelations of beliefs which may either be labeled as irrational or dysfunctional. The last similarity is that the major notions of CBT and REBT uphold that human behavior and emotions are highly dependent on individual beliefs, ideas, thinking and attitude and not by the sole occurrence of events. Therefore, for behavioral and emotional change to occur, one has to change his/her thinking.

Differences Between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) And Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy

A major difference between CBT and REBT is that REBT addresses the irrational thoughts and philosophical basis of emotional disturbance based on a client’s personality, which results to solutions that involve unconditional self-acceptance. On the contrary, CBT addresses irrational thoughts based on a client’s disorder through reinforcement of positive qualities which leaves many pitfalls in case of a client’s poor performance (David, Lynn & Ellis, 2010).  CBT insists on psychoeducation as an early vital component of treatment while REBT is highly reliant on psychoeducation in the entire period of treatment CBT vs REBT Essay.

With regards to the therapeutic relationships, CBT emphasizes on having a high quality therapeutic relationship for good treatment outcomes whereas REBT does not recognize the necessity of a therapeutic relationship. In terms of reasoning, CBT utilizes inductive reasoning by laying emphasis on inferential thinking. In contrast, REBT maximizes on deductive thoughts with a focus on evaluative reasoning (Sapp, 2014) v. Generally, these differences would help to gauge the best case practice scenarios that one therapy may be well suited to adequately address a client’s needs as in comparison to another for a mental health counselor.

The Version Of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I Might Use With Clients

The version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that I might use with clients is Dialectical Behavioral therapy. This form is highly reliable in being able to identify the triggers which result to negative tendencies and thoughts such as self-harm, suicidal thoughts and drug abuse (Craske & American Psychological Association, 2017).  It also provides a mental health counselor with a framework for identifying the irrational and dysfunctional behavior in a client and the tools that can effectively be used to counteract it CBT vs REBT Essay.

Conclusion

From this discussion on the similarities and differences between REBT and CBT, it is rather evident that the latter is more advantageous as compared to the former CBT vs REBT Essay. A perfect example is in the management of self-esteem, the establishment of a therapeutic relationship and thinking style. With this knowledge, mental health counselors are able to apply the most effective therapies depending on a client’s needs.
