Building resilience is the process of developing the ability to bounce back from difficult situations, challenges, and stressors. It involves strengthening one's mental and emotional well-being, developing effective coping skills, and fostering a positive and growth-oriented mindset. Building resilience requires a combination of self-awareness, self-care, and support from others. The ultimate goal is to become more adaptable and better equipped to handle life's challenges and adversity. By building resilience, individuals can improve their overall mental health and well-being, and lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

Research Goals and Research Questions-Qualitative or Quantitative-Give.docxhenry34567896
Research Goals and Research Questions:
Qualitative or Quantitative?
Given that you now know the philosophical differences in qualitative and qualitative research, you should now be able to distinguish between those types of research goals. See this list attached of research goals and research questions. 1) Match the research goal to the research question(s) and 2) identify them as either qualitative or quantitative (no mixed methods yet), and 3) explain WHY it is so.  Use the table below to cut/paste the goals and questions into and provide your answers. Look for specific key words to help you differentiate between qualitative and quantitative, and remember that the “why†answer is vital.
Research Goal
1. The goal of this study is to investigate whether leaders' well-being, in the form of positive affect and job stress, can be explained by leader-member exchange (LMX) quality at the group level of analysis.
2. What is the process of negotiating and reaching consensus within a particular social structure?
3. The purpose of this study is to explore how spousal carers of people with MS interpreted their lived experience with their partner, the way in they assigned meaning to their being in such a situation, and the skills and knowledge they have developed to live with their situation.
4. The purpose of this study was to investigate decision-making experiences and the social psychological processes family member surrogates use for health care decisions as they related to decision making with and for a terminally ill family member.
5. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which leaders' and teams' goals work together to affect a range of outcomes when their teams fail to regulate (i.e., when they focus exclusively on one particular type of goal). We explicitly focused on learning and performance goals because this distinction is perhaps the most obvious and salient type of goal tension in work organizations.
6. What role does friendship play in girls’ developing sense of self? Specifically, does girls’ friendship provide a form of resilience as they transition from childhood to adolescence?
7. This study will examine the roles of experiential opportunities, organization-initiated cross-cultural experiences (i.e., those found in leadership development programs) and non-work cross-cultural experiences.
8. The goal of this study is to analyze the conditions under which women are promoted to top leadership positions and exploring the challenges they face post-promotion.
Research Questions
1. What do caregivers define as successful day-to-day experience?
2. How do girls describe the development of their sense of self during transition from childhood to adolescence?
3. Does group-level analysis of leader-member exchange explain leaders’ psychological states of leader well-being, in the form of positive affect and job stress?
4. After promotion, do female leaders experience a lack of support and/or challenges to their le.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. Introduction
• Douglas and Walter stand at opposite ends of
the continuum of “reactions to failure”.
• The Douglases of the world bounce back after a
brief period of malaise; within a year they’ve
grown because of the experience.
• The Walters go from sadness to depression to a
paralyzing fear of the future.
3. • It is people like Douglas who rise to the top, and
whom organizations must recruit and retain in
order to succeed. (IMPORTANT)
• But how can you tell who is a Walter and who is a
Douglas? And can Walters become Douglases? Can
resilience be measured and taught?
• We have learned not only how to distinguish those
who will grow after failure from those who will
collapse, but also how to build the skills of people in
the latter category, develop a program for teaching
resilience. (IMPORTANT)
Walters to Douglas
4. • Members may struggle with depression and post-
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but thousands of
them also experience post-traumatic growth.
• Our goal is to employ resilience training to reduce
the number of those who struggle and increase the
number of those who grow.
• Working with both individual soldiers (employees)
and drill sergeants (managers), we are helping to
create an army of Douglases who can turn their
most difficult experiences into catalysts for
improved performance. (IMPORTANT)

9. Building strong relationships
10. Leadership development
10. 1. Optimism Is the Key
• In an experiment published in 1975 by Donald
Hiroto replicated many times since, subjects are
randomly divided into three groups.
1) Those in the first are exposed to an annoying
loud noise that they can stop by pushing a
button in front of them.
2) Those in the second hear the same noise but
can’t turn it off, though they try hard.
3) Those in the third, the control group, hear
nothing at all.
• But those in the second group typically do
nothing. In phase one they failed, realized they
had no control, and became passive.
11. 1. Optimism Is the Key
• Over 15 years of study the answer is optimism.
• Developed questionnaires and analyzed the content of verbatim speech and
writing to assess “explanatory style” as optimistic or pessimistic. (IMPORTANT)
• We discovered that people who don’t give up have a habit of interpreting
setbacks as temporary, local, and changeable. (“It’s going away quickly; it’s just
this one situation, and I can do something about it.”)
• That suggested how we might immunize people against learned helplessness,
against depression and anxiety, and against giving up after failure: by teaching
them to think like optimists.
12. 1. Optimism Is the Key
Organization must measure resilience and teach positive psychology to create a
force as fit psychologically as it is physically. (IMPORTANT)
13. 1. Optimism Is the Key
• Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) and consists of three components:
• a test for Psychological Fitness
• Self-Improvement Courses available following the test, and
• “Master Resilience Training” (MRT) for drill sergeants.
• These are based on PERMA: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships,
Meaning, and Accomplishment—the building blocks of resilience and growth.
14. 1. Optimism Is the Key
• 10-day program in which teachers learn techniques for becoming more optimistic in
their own lives and how to teach those techniques to their students. We’ve found that it
reduces depression and anxiety in the children under their care. (Another way we teach
positive psychology is through the master of applied positive psychology, or MAPP
,
degree program ) (IMPORTANT)
• What positive psychology had to say about soldiers’ problems, I offered a simple
answer: How human beings react to extreme adversity is normally distributed.
• On one end are the people who fall apart into PTSD, depression, and even suicide. In
the middle are most people, who at first react with symptoms of depression and anxiety
but within a month or so are, by physical and psychological measures, back where they
were before the trauma. That is resilience. On the other end are people who show post-
traumatic growth. They, too, first experience depression and anxiety, often exhibiting
full-blown PTSD, but within a year they are better off than they were before the trauma.
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” (IMPORTANT)
15. 2. Testing for Psychological Fitness
• What specific strengths protect against PTSD, depression, anxiety,
and suicide? Does a strong sense of meaning result in better
performance? Are people who score high in positive emotion
promoted more quickly? Can optimism spread from a leader to his
troops?
• The Global Assessment Tool (GAT). It is a 20-minute questionnaire that focuses on
strengths rather than weaknesses and is designed to measure four things: emotional,
family, social, and spiritual fitness. (IMPORTANT)
• It helps to develop psychosocial fitness of organization.
• All four have been credited with reducing depression and anxiety.
16. Idea in Brief
• Failure is one of life’s most common traumas, yet people’s responses to it vary
widely. Some bounce back after a brief period of malaise; others descend into
depression and a paralyzing fear of the future.
• The aim of Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) is to make soldiers as fit
psychologically as they are physically.
• A key component of CSF is “master resilience training” for drill sergeants a form
of management training that teaches leaders how to embrace resilience and
then pass it on, by building mental toughness, signature strengths, and strong
relationships strong sense of meaning result in better performance?
• Are people who score high in positive emotion promoted more quickly? Can
optimism spread from a leader to his troops?
17. 3. Online Courses
CSF is online courses in each of the four finesses and one mandatory course on
post-traumatic growth.
• Emotional fitness
• Family fitness
• Social fitness
• Spiritual fitness
18. Emotional Fitness
a. The emotional fitness module, created by Barbara
Fredrickson, a professor of emotions and
psychophysiology at the University of North
Carolina, and her colleague Sara Algoe, teaches
soldiers how to amplify positive emotions and
how to recognize when negative ones, such as
sadness and anger, are out of proportion to the
reality of the threat they face.
19. Family Fitness
b. Family fitness, too, affects work performance, and cell phones, email,
Facebook, and Skype allow even soldiers on combat duty, or expats on
assignment, to remain intimately involved with their families. A course
created by John and Julie Gottman, eminent psychologists specializing
in marriage, focuses on building a variety of relationship skills—including
fostering trust, constructively managing conflict, creating shared
meaning, and recovering from betrayal.
20. Social Fitness
c. The social fitness module, developed by John Cacioppo, a professor of
psychology at the University of Chicago and an expert on loneliness,
teaches empathy to soldiers by explaining mirror neurons in the brain.
When you see another person in pain, your brain activity is similar but
not identical to what it is when you yourself are in pain. The module then
asks soldiers to practice identifying emotions in others, with an emphasis
on racial and cultural diversity. This is at the heart of developing
emotional intelligence—DIVERSITY is a way of life, not just a political
slogan.
21. Spiritual Fitness
d. The spiritual fitness module, created by Kenneth
Pargament, a professor of psychology at Bowling
Green State University, and Colonel Patrick
Sweeney, a professor of behavioral sciences and
leadership at West Point, takes soldiers through
the process of building a “spiritual core” with
self-awareness, a sense of agency, self-
regulation, self motivation and social awareness.
“Spiritual” in CSF refers not to religion but to
belonging to and serving something larger than
the self.
22. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and the Harvard psychologist
Richard McNally, it begins with the ancient wisdom that personal transformation
comes from a renewed appreciation of being alive, enhanced personal strength,
acting on new possibilities, improved relationships, or spiritual deepening. The
module interactively teaches soldiers about five elements known to contribute to
post-traumatic growth:
4. Five Elements of post-traumatic growth
23. 4. Five Elements of post-traumatic growth
1. Understanding the response to trauma (read “failure”), which includes shattered beliefs about the self,
others, and the future. This is a normal response, not a symptom of PTSD or a character defect.
2. Reducing anxiety through techniques for controlling intrusive thoughts and images.
3. Engaging in constructive self disclosure. Bottling up trauma can lead to a worsening of physical and
psychological symptoms, so soldiers are encouraged to tell their stories.
4. Creating a narrative in which the trauma is seen as a fork in the road that enhances the appreciation
of paradox—loss and gain, grief and gratitude, vulnerability and strength.
5. Articulating life principles. These encompass new ways to be altruistic, crafting a new identity, and
taking seriously, understanding important truth about how to live.
24. 5. Master Resilience Training
• Comprehensive Soldier Fitness CSF is the master resilience training- MRT for drill
sergeants and other leaders.
• Embrace resilience and then pass on the knowledge. The content of MRT divides
into three parts—
A)building mental toughness.
B)building signature strengths.
C)building strong relationships.
All three are patterned after the Penn Resiliency Program and use plenary lectures,
breakout sessions that include role playing, work sheets, and small-group
discussion.
25. 6. Building Mental Toughness
• This segment of MRT is similar in theme to the online emotional fitness course
for individual soldiers. It starts with Albert Ellis’s ABCD model: C (emotional
consequences) stem not directly from A (adversity) but from B (one’s beliefs
about adversity). The sergeants work through a series of A’s (falling out of a
three-mile run, for example) and learn to separate B’s—heat-of-the-moment
thoughts about the situation (“I’m a failure”)—from C’s, the emotions generated
by those thoughts (such as feeling down for the rest of the day and thus
performing poorly in the next training exercise). They then learn D—how to
quickly and effectively dispel unrealistic beliefs about adversity.
• overgeneralizing or judging a person’s worth or ability on
the basis of a single action.
• “Asking for help is a sign of weakness”—and teach a technique
26. 7. Building Signature Strengths
• The GAT—Peterson’s Values in Action signature
strengths survey, which is taken online and produces a
ranked list of the test taker’s top 24 character
strengths.
• Finally, the sergeants write their own “strengths in
challenges” stories.
27. What Are Your Strengths?
• “Very much unlike me” to determine the areas in which
they shine. Here is a sampling described how he used
his strengths of love, wisdom, and gratitude to help a
soldier who was acting out and stirring up conflict. The
sergeant discovered that the soldier felt consumed by
anger at his wife, and the anger spilled over to his unit.
The sergeant used his wisdom to help the soldier
understand the wife’s perspective and worked with him
to write a letter in which the soldier described the
gratitude he felt because his wife had handled so
much on her own during his three deployments.
Introspect about your strengths & focus on same. Curiosity, creativity, bravery,
persistence, integrity, fairness, leadership, and self-regulation
28. 8. Four Ways to Respond
Private Johnson tells Private Gonzales, “Hey, I just got a promotion.”
• Active constructive – ADPOT THIS REACTION FORM
• “That’s great. What are your new duties? When do you start?
What did the captain say about why you deserved it?”
• Passive constructive
• “That’s nice.”
• Passive destructive
• “I got a funny email from my son. Listen to this...”
• Active destructive
• “You know there’s no extra pay, and it will eat up a lot of your
R&R time.”
29. 9. Building strong relationships
• MRT focuses on practical tools for positive
communication.
• We also teach assertive communication,
distinguishing it from passive or aggressive
communication. What is the language, voice
tone, body language.
30. 10. Leadership Development
• Enhancing mental toughness, highlighting and honing strengths, and
fostering strong relationships are core competencies for any “successful
manager”. IMPORTANT TAKE HOME MESSAGE
• Leadership development programs often touch on these skills, but the
MRT program brings them together in systematic form to ensure that
even in the face of terrible failures—those that cost lives—army
sergeants know how to help the men and women under their
command flourish rather than flounder.
• Managers can change the culture of their organizations to focus on
the positive instead of the negative and, in doing so, turn pessimistic,
helpless Walters into optimistic, can-do Douglases which will build a
better organization/ unit. IMPORTANT TAKE HOME MESSAGE
