YOUR VISION AS A PRACTITIONER SCHOLAR1YOUR VISION AS A PRACTITI.docx

YOUR VISION AS A PRACTITIONER SCHOLAR 1 YOUR VISION AS A PRACTITIONER SCHOLAR 6 Your Vision as a Practitioner Scholar Sandy Pennington Capella University Abstract My greatest vision is to help patients go through physical rehabilitation with respect and humaneness. In return, this exposure will give me a chance to practice psychology in a field that interests me greatly. I will also be able to make first hand observations in my area of specialization. These observations will continue to further my knowledge in my chose field and help me help other patients better. This field will also help me to meet likeminded colleagues with whom I can formulate better ways of assisting the patients who are now in wheelchairs. Assisting individuals who are confined to wheelchairs to get their lives back will not only help me achieve my professional goals but also enable me to contribute to the society positively. Introduction The practitioner-scholar theory exposes psychology students to the real world instead of only relying on the theoretical part of their studies. With this theory, students are able to practically apply what they have learnt in class or a real world setting. The theory therefore helps students to continuously use scholarly research so as to derive new questions and practical answers to psychological problems. It also pushes psychology students to question the assumptions that have been in use over the years and formulate new solutions for existing and emergent problems. The students are exposed to a wide range of practical activities that relate to their course, throughout. The use of this method in training therefore exposes the student to the nature of research studies and how to collect data, and compile it to produce valuable information. In return, the psychology student will be able to inform his practice in a meaningful way, and may even instigate changes within the profession through the hands on approach to their studies (Foley & McNeil, 2015). Vision My vision is to become the most successful psychologist in the area of physical rehabilitation. I envision being a psychologist who is well respected in my field and who is on the frontline of research into the issues regarding patients who are confined to wheelchairs. I want to be able to represent this fraction of patients in a manner that dignifies them and gives them hope to live one more day with the confidence and hope that they can get better not only physically but emotionally and socially. I also want to be able to champion for the allocation of more funds into the area of physical rehabilitation and the accompanying course of treatment. Goals My goal is to help as many patients as is humanely possible to be able to live comfortably without needing to use the wheelchair. For those patients who cannot entirely be weaned of the wheelchair, my goal is to help them accept themselves and show them the various ways through which they can still .

Overview Develop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as it relates to a target vulnerable population. Include an analysis of existing evidence and position papers to help support your position. Your analysis should also present and respond to one or more opposing viewpoints. Note : Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. Position papers are a method to evaluate the most current evidence and policies related to health care issues. They offer a way for researchers to explore the views of any number of organizations around a topic. This can help you to develop your own position and approach to care around a topic or issue. This assessment will focus on analyzing position papers about an issue related to addiction, chronicity, emotional and mental health, genetics and genomics, or immunity. Many of these topics are quickly evolving as technology advances, or as we attempt to push past stigmas. For example, technology advances and DNA sequencing provide comprehensive information to allow treatment to become more targeted and effective for the individual. However as a result, nurses must be able to understand and teach patients about the impact of this information. With this great power comes concerns that patient conditions are protected in an ethical and compassionate manner. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes. Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that could support a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.

300 words Building healthier cities and communities involves local people working together to transform the conditions and outcomes that matter to them. That civic work demands an array of core competencies, such as community assessment, planning, community mobilization, intervention, advocacy, evaluation, and marketing successful efforts. Supporting this local and global work requires widespread and easy access to these community-building skills. However, these skills are not always learned, nor are they commonly taught either in formal or informal education. The internet can provide an effective means for transmitting skill-building resources broadly and inexpensively. This section describes a free resource for building healthier communities called the Community Tool Box . WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY TOOL BOX? BACKGROUND. In the early days of the World Wide Web (1995), we began work on an Internet-based resource for community change and improvement, the "Community Tool Box" (CTB). Our mission is to promote community health and development by connecting people, ideas, and resources. We focused on developing practical information for community building that both professionals and ordinary citizens could use in everyday practice -- for example, leadership skills, program evaluation, and writing a grant application. The emphasis was on these core competencies of community building, transcending more categorical issues and concerns, such as promoting child health, reducing violence, or creating job opportunities. We developed a broad and evolving Table of Contents and started writing, one section at a time. By mid-1999, there were over 160 how-to sections and over 3,500 pages of text available on the Community Tool Box. As of July 2000, there were over 200 sections online and more than 5,000 pages of text. AUDIENCE. The audiences or end users for this site include: People doing the work of community change and improvement (community leaders and members) People supporting it (intermediary organizations such as public agencies or university-based centers) People funding it (governmental institutions, foundations, and others). Use of the Community Tool Box grew nearly exponentially: over 100,000 hits in 1997, over 500,000 in 1998, and well over one million in 1999. Guestbook data confirm that users represent a wide variety of community-building settings and positions and come from all corners of the planet. ATTRIBUTES. Building healthier communities is hard work, requiring frequent adjustments to emerging opportunities and barriers. To be a resource for community work, a "tool box" would exemplify the following attributes: Its content needs to be comprehensive . Since effective community members and practitioners need a variety of skills, sections of the Tool Box would have to reflect a broad array of core competencies (e.g., skills in conducting listening sessions, organizing focus groups, leading meetings, group facilitation and recording). The inf.
