Based on the readings and my personal experiences and values, I would describe my worldview as generally open-minded, pragmatic and solution-focused. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people, regardless of background, and that through respectful understanding and cooperation, even seemingly intractable social issues can be addressed constructively.
My social change project focuses on improving access to healthcare, which aligns well with millennial ideals of equality and justice. I would like to help promote social changes that expand opportunity and empower underserved communities. However, entrenched interests and ideological divides could make reforms difficult. Ripeness theory suggests waiting for a "teachable moment" when attitudes are receptive to change. And critical theory examines how power dynamics

SANE (also marked in red). The discussion section should
contain three to five paragraphs and should be a discussion of
how the literature review impacts your topic. Go back to your

2. SANE
To help with holistic and timely healing of sexual assaul t
patients, shortage of resources should be addressed and more
sexual assault team members must be procured. This is a vicious
cycle that needs to be addressed by the community as a whole.
The turnover rate for SANE nurses is high, while sexual assault
patients face long-term mental and physical effects.
Additionally, the society they live in engage in victim-blaming,
and their trauma is minimized. While healthcare institutions are
challenged with the pandemic, sexual abuse rates, and their
intensity have risen with lockdowns. Although, methods to
3. improve the quality of care are ongoing; additional steps should
be taken to control further damage. This paper will give an
overview of the SANE program, present the ongoing issues
faced by sexual assault patients and some possible solutions to
these issues.
Literature Review
ProQuest was primarily used for searching for all 4 Journal
articles and Google Scholar was used for the 2 websites. The
terms “sexual assault”, “shortage of forensic nurses”, PTSD in
sexual assault victims” etc. were used. Articles within 5 years
was entered in the filter.
The first article explained the duties of these health care
workers. It explained that these nurses examine the victim to
obtain proof of an assault or physical injury. The proof is
provided as evidence during the hearing of the case. The nurses
also pose questions to the victims to evaluate the assault deeply
for a clearer picture of the case scenario. They also administer
drugs to prevent any infection as well as testing for pregnancy
(Delgadillo, 2017)
The second article induced an existing shortage of SANE
nurses in the majority of the developing countries. That goes
hand in hand with a shortage of screening facilities in their
health care centers. As the article elaborated, there are few
forensic programs infiltrated in hospitals. According to SANE,
Nurses are in very high demand in many countries. It further
claimed that the available number of nurses is minimal.
Considering the highly developing emergency cases (Lavoie et
al., 2020)
The third article provided a definition and a better
understanding of the term assault, SANE and Forensic nurses. It
describes sexual assault as any unwilling sexual activity. It
provided the more extended version of the abbreviation, SANE,
as Sexual Assault Nurse examiner. It defined the SANE of the
nurse who topped up studies on matters related to sexual
harassment. These nurses give services to victims of sexual
4. harassment (Nathan et al., 2020)
The website explained the process of administering PTSD
to sexual assault victims and that sexual assault should be
treated as an emergency. It is recommended in the article that
anyone who is raped or molested sexually should seek medical
care immediately. It stated that once the patient gets to the
SANE nurses, they undergo examination, and antibiotics are
prescribed to prevent diseases. It provided further information
on how to easily access healthcare facilities immediately after
the assault (Nodell, 2021)
The other article analyzed the effects of sexual assaults on
victims. It stated that the nurses could tell this through their
thorough examinations done on the patient. The stated effects
further explained that it leads to psychological, emotional, and
physical damages on the victim. Only to mention, physical
effects include Injuries, mental effects include depression and
stress disorders, while emotional effects entail trust issues, fear,
and shock (Rivara et al., 2019)
As highlighted in the article by SANE, Nurses play a vital
role in saving lives. It explained that when a victim gets
immediate care as soon as they get to the Healthcare worker,
infections and contracting diseases such as HIV/AIDS are
halted. They also help provide robust evidence that is useful
during the court’s hearing. These nurses also offer guidance and
counseling to prevent ill motives such as suicide after the
activity (Delgadillo, 2017)
This article explains the effects of PTSD in sexual assault
survivors. Detailed study was conducted involving variety of
status factors. Perpetrator identity has been highlighted as a
major trigger for PTSD. Since studies were done
internationally, several different perspectives was drawn and
some conclusions were not evaluated. This article however
promises to serve as a useful tool for future prospective studies
(Scott et al., 2018)
5. As researched, the SANE nurses are identified as facing
problems in their line of Duty. As explained, survivors who are
not ready to answer questions hinder these nurses’ effective
working (Delgadillo, 2017). The job is mind-blowing and
tiresome since it involves convincing the affected individuals
against their ill intents and depression.

Bob into ehaving better (power-ha ed), which failed. Diane
finally went to Sally, who would hopefully u e her authority
(power-ha ed) to deal with Bob. Bob then initiated a hara
ment complaint to deal with Diane (right -ba ed).
As we can see, a large reason for the negative outcomes
achieved by Sally, Bob, and Diane i that virtually every
process they u ed fell into the rights and power category. Mo t
of Sally, Diane, and Bob' behaviour became adversarial and
co tly in term of time and energy; it damaged morale, pro-
ductivity, and relationships in the workplace. These are all the
classic costs of conflict the parties experience when escalating
up the stairway.

Default to using Interest-based processes first
There are very few situations where rights or power should be
used as a first choice. 3 Interest-based processes such as prob-
lem-solving, negotiation, and mediation are inexpensive
enough and ucce ful enough that here hould be a pre-
sumption of u ing the e interest-ha ed processes first. In other
words, the default approach should be interest-based, moving
to right -ba ed only if the interest-ha ed fails, and moving to
power-based only if the rights-based approach fails.
Use the lowest-cost Rights or Power process
Within each tep, there are processes that will cost more or co t

Discussion 1: What Is Your Worldview?
As a human being, an employee, a manager or leader, or even as
a friend, our values and beliefs shape who we are and how we
act in various situations. In many cases, where we are from and
how we were raised can have an important impact on the values
and beliefs we hold dear. Think about the values and beliefs
that help define you and shape your action. How can these
values and beliefs help you during a conflict negotiation? How
might they hurt you during the conflict negotiation process? As
a manager or leader, how can you ensure your values and beliefs
remain neutral and do not create a bias?
In this Discussion, explore your worldview and begin thinking
about the values and beliefs that shape you.
