Answer: Identifying gaps during literature review or other types of evidence is an integral step in a systematic review. Gaps in research findings can be related to insufficient or vague information, biased information, inconsistent results, unknown consistency with the results, or not providing the right information. Research gaps can limit the ability for key stakeholders to make decisions and implement evidence-based practice changes (Robinson, 2013).

Even though research may present with gaps, do these gaps help or hinder when attempting to create change in an organization? The answer could be both. In one instance, it could hinder the process if the existing evidence does not answer the question or there are significant deficiencies with the information which limits the ability to create a solution to a practice problem. On the other hand, research gaps can be further developed and provide a springboard for stakeholders to look into other areas of research or evidence (Robinson, 2013).

Provide a 3-4 sentence response to the below discussion question answer in apa format with in-text citations and references:

Answer: The statistical significance of evidence is the measurement of data that determines that the results are unlikely to have happened by chance. It also can mean that the results are “reliable and can be duplicated” (Polit & Beck, 2017) when applied in another situation The application of a p-value of five refers to the idea that in 100 times more than 95% the results will be the same. The clinical significance of evidence is whether when applied to patient care will have the same effect. The evidence is not just taken on face value or the results of the statistical results but also must best be evaluated by “making an informed expert judgment of the benefits and risks associated with research findings” (EL-Masri, 2016). 

Each of these findings can be used to advance evidence-based projects in different ways. The statistical tells us if the data is leading us in the right direction based on reliability and clinically the benefits to the patients will be seen.

Original Question: What is the difference between statistically significant evidence and clinically significant evidence? How would each of these findings be used to advance an evidenced-based project?

Provide a 3-4 sentence response to the below discussion question answer in apa format with in-text citations and references:

Answer: An evidence is said to be statistically significant if the relationship between two or more variables other than any random chance of occurrence. Mostly used in hypothesis testing, if p value is less than 5% then results are said to be statically significant.

Example: A study on impact of work-related stress on employee motivation may be said as statistically significant as possibility is that some other variables are also important.

Clinically significant evidence: It is based on treatment effect that if another variable introduced then what will be the new result. Most of the time, this type of experiment used in scientific program.

These findings are important in evidence-based project by the following’s ways:

-The relations among various variables might be obtained.

-In scientific based literature clinically significant evidence has great contribution.

-Patient safety research project may be analyzed based on clinically significant evidence.

-Many organizational problems / projects can be evaluated based on statistically significant evidence by internal validity/ testing of hypothesis.

Leug states that there is a great significance in the measures on how different each outcome in treatment can control groups are not real and are not by a chance. P values are the given probability to the outcomes given by chance and assumption by new control treatments and measures. There is a mathematical significance in justification to the EBP when you have statistical significance.

Create a detailed outline for your disease state presentation. Include 3-5 major bullet points and several supporting points for each requirement.  Your outline should indicate which sources (at least 5) you plan to use within each section. I have included a skeleton outline below that you can use to fill in with details from your specific topic and research.  Also, feel free to use an outline of your own making/choosing.

A. Introduction

1. Thesis statement: (actually write it out)

2. Main issues

B. Pathophysiology and Etiology

C. Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment

D. Screening

1. Recognition techniques

2. Potential impact on health and wellness

E. Education and Prevention

1. Recommendations and application to the field of public health

2. Resources needed

F. Conclusion

Following your outline, I would like you to create an annotated bibliography for at least 5 of the sources you plan on using as support in your disease state presentation.  An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents.  Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation.  The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.  You are welcome to use citation management software (e.g., EndNote, etc.) to create your annotations or to create them yourselves. 

Two of your sources may come from popular sources (CNN broadcasts, news articles/editorials, popular magazines, etc.), but a minimum of three must come from credible academic sources (found using Google Scholar or other scholarly database search engine available through the library- PubMed, MedLine, SpringerLink, etc.).

Immunity to infectious conditions is acquired one of four ways- natural active (i.e., antibodies formed due to previous infection), artificial active (i.e., antibodies formed due to presence of vaccine), natural passive (i.e., antibodies passed from mother to child to provide temporary protection), and artificial passive (i.e., antibodies injected to provide temporary protection or lessen severity of infection).  Of these, the benefits vs. risks of artificial active immunity has been questioned by some, contributing to the growth in re-emerging infectious diseases.  Re-emerging infectious diseases are diseases that were previously under control, but due to lack of participation in immunization programs, infectious disease outbreaks continue.

After watching the videos below, share your thoughts on the challenges facing immunization programs.  Identify a specific public health problem that is increasing due to lack of immunization adherence, and describe its pathology (i.e., functional and structural changes characterizing the disease), and its signs and symptoms.  What can be done to properly educate the public and encourage immunization?

Measles: To Vaccinate or not?

Origins of Anti-vaccine movement

Science of Anti-Vaccination

Not all Doctors Agree (Though I do not agree with this viewpoint personally, I believe it is right to present both sides of the argument)

Based upon the current chapter readings/lectures, personal experiences, worldview, and media/resources provided, you must comment on the specific reflection prompts provided- reflecting on how they relate to the weekly topic(s) and current society.  Posts should be thoughtful, insightful, and 250-500 words.  These posts should add significant substance to the conversation and clearly reference (i.e. cite) information from current chapter readings/lectures (please follow current APA guidelines for your in-text citations and references).

Role of the School Nurse

It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses  that the professional registered school nurse is the leader in the  school community to oversee school health policies and programs. The  school nurse serves in a pivotal role to provide expertise and oversight  for the provision of school health services and promotion of health  education. Using clinical knowledge and judgment, the school nurse  provides health care to students and staff, performs health screenings,  and coordinates referrals to the medical home or private health care  provider. The school nurse serves as a liaison between school personnel,  family, community and healthcare providers to advocate for health care  and a healthy school environment (American Nurses Association &  National Association of School Nurses, 2011).

Reference

You are the parent of two teenagers and an active PTA member at their  school. The principal approached you about an upcoming professional  gathering for middle- and high-school nurses in your district. She asked  you to make a short presentation on school health privacy and how it  can affect nurse-student care within the teen population, where personal  health issues and privacy concerns often collide.

Preparation

Research and gather information about the issues facing school  nurses in your state of licensure, as well as state and federal privacy  laws that govern your school health privacy information. You will also  need to learn about the legal limitations and responsibilities of the  school nurse.

Directions

Create a 6–8-slide PowerPoint presentation that examines the  privacy issues unique to nurses serving the high-school age population.  Address the following:

  • Describe the types of health and wellness issues that can affect  adolescents in their high-school years. Be sure you think beyond the  usual things and really research the types of issues that are affecting  young people today.
  • Explain how privacy laws can impact the school nurse in regard to patient safety and health outcomes for adolescents.
  • Explain how privacy laws benefit the student, the school, and the school nurse.
  • Recommend two specific evidence-based ethical strategies  regarding health and wellness privacy communications in a school  environment.

Use the notes section of each slide to expand your points and cite  your supporting evidence. Also, include a title slide and a reference  slide that lists the resources you used in this assessment.

Be creative. Consider your intended audience.

Additional Requirements

Your presentation should meet the following requirements:

  • Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • References: Include a reference slide with a  minimum of three references; a majority of these should be peer-reviewed  sources. All resources should have been published within the last 5  years.
  • APA format: Resources and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
  • Length: 6–8 slides.
