As a healthcare leader, you will be accountable to many people, including employees, patients and their families, the executive board, and the agencies that monitor the organization’s behavior. Oftentimes, you are required to help support your colleagues in instances where they are not feeling as motivated or as confident in their role as a healthcare practitioner. What is the best way to approach these situations? How can you help provide support to your colleagues to help them increase their motivation or feeling of self-actualization, so that the patients and the organizations for which you work are treated appropriately?

For this Assignment, you will reflect on your responsibilities as a healthcare leader and examine the importance of providing the appropriate tools and strategies to support their humanistic needs.

To prepare for this Competency Assessment, take the following self-actualization tests from the following websites: https://www.explorepsychology.com/wp_quiz/self-actualization-test/ and https://www.allthetests.com/quiz01/dasquiztd.php3?testid=1022641069.

Review your scores. Consider what these results tell you about your ability to feel self-actualized and how you feel impacts you as a healthcare leader. Think about what these results say about your ability to exhibit the skills to support your colleagues. 

The Assignment

Part 1: 

Write a 1-page op-ed piece, to be published in a newspaper, about what you think the feelings of motivation and self-actualization play in your role as a healthcare leader. For more information about writing an op-ed review, go to:

In your op-ed:

Explain the potential conflicts that can arise in the organization and how that impacts the organization as a whole.

Describe the effects on others in an organization, if a leader models positive and supportive behavior to help motivate other employees

Synthesize the importance of a leader to exhibit humanistic qualities from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Explain why it will be beneficial to answer this question with facts.

The Course Outcomes covered this week are CO2 and CO4.

CO2: Describe cultural differences related to drugs.

CO4: Perform a culturally competent nursing assessment. (PO7)

Nurses complete assessments on individuals on a daily basis. Self-assessments are in order before considering our abilities to provide culturally competent nursing care.

  • Complete Transcultural Nursing Skills Self-Assessment Form (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
  • Note the number of No answers in your self-assessment. Share one or two of your No answers with your classmates, and describe how you will convert the No to a Yes over the next few weeks.
  • What interventions are needed to turn each No into a Yes response?

As a nurse, you perform assessments on individuals all of the time. Before we can provide culturally competent assessments, however, it is important to become aware of our own perspectives and abilities. This week, you will do a self-assessment and begin to think about ways to improve your own cultural competence. Please do the following:

Needs Assessment: External Factors that Impact Curriculum and Program Development

            When a potential student is deciding on attending a new college or university, there are many factors that could change that decision.  The desire to attend a nationally accredited school can play a large part in the decision-making process.  Potential employers know that accredited institutions undergo rigorous processes to achieve and maintain the high quality standards set by accrediting bodies that looks great on a student’s resume.  During this weeks post, I will post a brief description of the setting my team selected for the course project.  I will explain which accrediting body or agency they have accreditation from and why.  Then I will identify the standards I selected and explain if the setting meets the outlined expectations.

Accrediting Body

            The northeast region team has selected Seton Hall University for this course’s project.  The main campus of Seton Hall is located in South Orange, New Jersey with their health and sciences campus in Clifton and Nutley, New Jersey.  This university has accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, or CCNE.  This agency is the national voice for academic nursing education and works to, influence the nursing profession to improve healthcare, establish quality standards for nursing education while assisting schools in implementing them, and promotes public support for research, practice, and professional nursing education (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2012).  It is the responsibility of the educators in the facility to make sure that the curriculum components such as the mission, vision, philosophy, organizational framework, student-learning outcomes, and the program of study are well outlined and taught appropriately (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).  Seton Hall continues to use this accrediting agency to make sure that their education is up to date and they are preparing students for the world of nursing. 

Standards

            The CCNE accreditation process is based on core values, I will discuss a few of them in this post and describe if Seton Hall meets the expectations.  The first is to foster an educational climate that supports program students, graduates, and faculty in their pursuit of lifelong learning (Billings & Halstead, 2016).  According to the Seton Hall University website (2019), students and faculty are encouraged to pursue their education and continue learning with multiple graduate nursing programs, graduate courses, doctoral programs, and certificate courses.  The second standard is to encourage programs to develop graduates who are effective professionals and socially responsible citizens (Billings & Halstead, 2016).  Seton Hall University obliges with this standard in a few different ways.  They offer multiple clinical settings to allow the student to become an effective professional, and they have classes discussing legal issues, research, leadership, and management.  Giving a student these tools will provide them with the skills to be socially responsible citizens as well as effective professionals.  The final standard is to facilitate and engage is self-assessment.  The University has a department whose sole focus is on self-assessment.  They consistently perform assessments on programs in the university and recommend improvements that should be made within each program (Seton Hall University, 2019).  As we continue to explore this university’s curriculum, I will continue to evaluate how Seton Hall is doing as a nursing program, and see what changes need to be made.  The CCNE standards discussed are currently being met, but there is much more to explore, and there are always improvements that could be made.

HPV is very common.  In fact, it is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US.  HPV is so common that nearly all sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives.  Most people never know that they have been infected and may give HPV to a partner without knowing it. 

A potential answer to this problem is HPV vaccines.  HPV vaccines work extremely well.  Clinical trials showed the vaccines provided close to 100% protection against pre-cancers and for HPV4, genital warts.   Since the vaccine was first recommended in 2006, there has been a 56% reduction in HPV infections among teen girls in the US, even with very low HPV vaccination rates.  Recently, Gardasil 9 was approved by the FDA, which now covers nine HPV types (five more HPV types than the original Gardasil).  Gardasil 9 has the potential to prevent approximately 90 percent of cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers (not to mention various cancers of the mouth and throat).

However, the question remains… why are HPV vaccination rates so low, and should be put public health policies in place to improve them? 

After reviewing the weblinks, weigh in with your thoughts on potential policy tools and processes for improving HPV and related cancer outcomes.  What are the potential strengths and weaknesses of these tools/processes?  Are there any proposed or passed legislative initiatives that you would support?  Defend your response. Posts should be thoughtful, insightful, and a minimum of 250-500 words.  These posts should add significant substance to the conversation and clearly reference (i.e. cite) information from current textbook chapter readings/lectures (please follow current APA guidelines for your in-text citations and references).
