What can be found at these websites? Was the information useful?

Your assignment is to choose a topic from Chapter 12, Defining Psychological Disorders, in your e-textbook. Your paper should be from 1,200- 1,500 words (or about 5 double-spaced typed pages), and you should follow APA style. Please adhere to page length requirement.

First discuss your topic using information from the textbook. Provide a brief overview of your topic.

Choose at least two Web sites that contain information about the topic. Both sites need to be credible and one site should represent a national organization that has formed because of the topic. For example, if you choose depression as a topic, then you could choose any national organization devoted to researching and/or providing information about depression. Critically discuss this website and then select a second website pertaining to your topic and critically discuss and analyze the information there. What can be found at these websites? Was the information useful? Who could benefit from this information, etc.

Next, choose two journal articles from credible sources, using one of the psychological databases to find more in-depth information than what is listed in your textbook about your topic. These articles should be research-oriented, i.e., involve a research study. As such, the study will have participants, procedures (or methods), and results. Wikipedia, Psychology Today, or other such sources will not count as credit for one of your research articles. They must be from from a credible psychological journal.

When composing your paper, first select a title that is indicative of your paper. Then, begin with an introduction telling the reader the purpose of the paper and what you will review (i.e., the topic, two websites and two research articles). Next, discuss how the topic is presented in the textbook and why you chose it as your topic of interest (keep in mind that you should avoid being too personally revealing in discussing your topic). Then spend most of your paper writing about the information you discovered in your research (from the two websites and the two journal articles). End your paper with a concluding paragraph that tells the reader what they should know from reading your paper and the importance of this information.

Make sure your paper flows logically and is not a patchwork of bits and pieces of information.

Below you will find the criteria I will be using to grade your paper. This assignment is worth 18% of your final grade. Points will be deducted if your paper is turned in late, so please try to have yours turned in on time.

How would you utilize this model to guide your policy development?

Health Care Policy

Health Care Policy

In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Trautman, Dr. Wakefield, and Ms. Coyle discuss how public policies initiated at the national or state level ultimately influence what occurs at the institutional and local level of nursing practice and health care delivery. Health care policy usually is developed to address health care cost, quality, or access, or a combination of the three. Due to the nature of their interaction with patients, nurses are well situated to be effective, knowledgeable advocates for their patients.

In this week’s Discussion, you will examine how current policies impact how you as a nurse provide health care. You will then select an issue of interest and determine how you could advocate for policy in that area.

To prepare:

Select one public policy that currently is impacting you and your practice. Consider the following:
What health care driver was the policy designed to address: cost, quality, access, or a combination?
Does the policy appear to be achieving its intended results? On what data are you basing your assumption?
What have been the effects (adverse or positive) of this policy on health care cost, quality, and access?
How is this policy affecting your nursing practice?
Next, select a health care issue—something you see or experience on a daily basis—about which you would like to influence a practice change through the policy process.
Review the Learning Resources, focusing on Kingdon’s Model. How would you utilize this model to guide your policy development?

Post by Day 3 a brief description of a public policy that is having an impact on your practice; summarize your analysis of the policy using the bulleted list above as a guide. Then, summarize the issue you would like to influence though a change in public policy, and outline how you would utilize Kingdon’s Model to guide your policy development.
