Here’s a question I have for you this week. Compare and contrast the TAPS Health Assessment Tool and the CAPS Health Assessment Tool. Try creating a side-by-side chart so that at a quick glance you can identify the similarities and the differences. The differences are key as this is how to tell them apart.

What steps do you take to locate primary and peer-reviewed research articles when performing a literature search?

What resources are available to you to engage in a meaningful and successful literature search?

As you have explored throughout this course, Walden University provides vast resources for student support to ensure success in their academic program of study. When it comes to research and using Library resources, several support mechanisms are available to you as well.

Taking the first step to think about a research topic or area of interest and filtering that topic using a series of keywords and operations will be a fundamental component for performing a literature search in Walden Library’s databases. While the ultimate goal is to produce a set or results that match your search criteria, you must keep in mind that that the quality of the research articles obtained will likely vary. Thus, you must critically examine and analyze the aims of the research produced and how it aligns, confirms, or negates your topic or area of research. As you develop proficiency in this area, you will discover that you can extract content themes and frameworks to enhance future research and the need to identify additional research support.

For this Assignment, consult the Walden Library webinars and resources provided. These resources serve as a general good first step for performing literature searches and engaging with the databases of research available to you. Think about a research topic or area of interest to focus on for this Assignment. Then, search the Walden Library to locate and retrieve peer-reviewed research articles that pertain to your topic or area of interest. 

6-paragraph assignment in which you do the following:

  •  a 1-pararaph introduction of how you conducted your literature search and the databases consulted in your search in relation to your practice area or area of interest. Be specific and provide examples.
  • a 1-paragraph summary of each of the articles you have selected (a total of 3 paragraphs).
  •  1 paragraph that synthesizes the three articles using a scholarly voice.
  •  a final paragraph in which you discuss the differences between summarizing and synthesizing research. Be specific and provide examples.

 A burn injury can severely affect a patient’s physical and emotional well-being. As a nurse you may be in charge of taking care of a patient during any of the three phases of burns. Please complete the Phases of Burn Injury table to better understand the needs of a burn patient and ways to meet those needs.

WEEK 1 DISCUSSION 2

· Define health promotion in your own words.

 Health promotion, in my own words, is the process of empowering individuals, communities, and societies to enhance their overall well-being and achieve their highest level of physical, mental, and social health. It involves dedicated efforts to prevent illness, promote healthy behaviors, and address the encouragement of health to achieve optimal quality of life. 

· Discuss the differences in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

1. Primary Prevention: This focuses on preventing the onset of health issues. It aims to reduce the risk of disease or injury before they occur. Examples include vaccinations, health education, and lifestyle interventions to promote healthy habits.

2. Secondary Prevention: Secondary prevention is about early detection and intervention to prevent the progression of a health issue. It includes activities like regular screenings, diagnostic tests, and prompt treatment to control a disease or injury in its early stages.

3. Tertiary Prevention: Tertiary prevention is geared towards minimizing the impact of established diseases or injuries and preventing their complications. It involves rehabilitation, disease management, and strategies to improve the patient's quality of life.

 

· Identify two patient-focused topics of interest from the Healthy People 2030 website that interest you. For each topic, identify an objective from the Healthy People 2030 website on which you would like to focus. Why are these topics of interest to you? Provide a rationale for your selections.

1. Topic 1: Mental Health and Mental Disorders

· Objective: “Increase the proportion of children, adolescents, and adults who receive treatment for a major depressive episode.”

· Rationale: Mental health is a critical but often stigmatized aspect of overall well-being. Focusing on increasing access to treatment for depression aligns with the goal of promoting mental health and reducing the burden of mental disorders.

2. Topic 2: Substance Abuse (Drug and Alcohol Use)

3.  

· Objective: “Reduce the proportion of people who misuse prescription drugs in the past year.”

· Rationale: The misuse of prescription drugs is a growing public health concern. Reducing this misuse can reduce the associated health risks, addiction, and adverse consequences on individuals and communities.

Health Promotion is a huge factor in health care. It is about taking care of your health and preventing or treating disease and illness. Primary prevention is mostly about preventing damage to your health before it can occur. Secondary prevention is about preventing the illness from progressing and further damaging health. Tertiary prevention helps manage long term, complex health problems to improve life with the disease as much as a possible.

 

I chose to focus on Heart Disease and Stoke from the Health People 2030 website. I chose this because it relates so closely to my practice at work on a Heart and Vascular Unit. Another reasoning I had behind researching this topic is because it is so relevant in health promotion and heart disease effects so many Americans, when it could be prevented.

 

Part of the Heart Disease and Stroke topic included screening for atrial fibrillation. This objective caught my interest because it is so much more common than people realize and often people live with atrial fibrillation without knowing until a larger event, such as heart attack or stroke occur. It could do so much for Secondary Prevention if the general population had more of an understanding of atrial fibrillation and a way to screen.

 

Diabetes is a huge problem in the population of the United States and effects so many of all ages. As a nurse I about half of my patient will come in with type 2 diabetes. This is another disease that has so many other effects on the body and health that could be prevented or controlled.

 

Type 2 diabetes is occurring in children and young adults more often. This could be prevented with education on a balanced diet and the risk of being diabetic. There is also ways to control blood sugars and lower A1C in these younger generations that are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
