You will write your Literature Review Section of your EBP Project Proposal. Here is a
Review of Literature Example (Word)
to use as a model or guide. To conduct your literature review, you begin with the search strategy, gather your resources, then start writing your literature review and gap analysis.
Search Strategy
In the literature review section, you are to identify your
search strategy
, which can include the following:
the databases and internet sites or search engines used to explore the literature (CINAHL, Medline, Google, Yahoo, etc.)
the search terms you used
the beginning and ending dates of the period covered in this study
the time period when the search was conducted (e.g., Fall 2008)
any special journals hand-searched and any relevant sources used in performing the literature search
Description of Literature or Gaps in the Literature
The literature review section is a review of studies that are related to your phenomenon. It should take up about eight to ten pages, or approximately 3,000 to 4,000 words. The purpose is to tell the reader what is known about your phenomenon and lead the reader to what is not known about your phenomenon (your research problem). You should have sub-headings throughout this section of the paper.
The literature section discusses the relevant research related to your study. Do not discuss each study individually; instead, synthesize the literature based on your literature matrix. You can discuss individual findings of studies (include all eight studies that you described in your literature matrix in Weeks 4 and 9) as appropriate including the statistical findings and study samples. This section needs to tell the reader what is known about your clinical area of interest. You will also summarize your review of the literature and discuss the gaps you have identified.
Assignment Instructions
Your assignment should be:
Eight to ten pages, or approximately 3,000 to 4,000 words, no cover page required, and the page count doesn’t include the references list
Your search strategy
Description of articles (who, population, sample, what was done, statistical findings, limitations, and so on)
Gaps section: the gaps you have identified from your literature search
Please refer to the
Grading Rubric

Literature Review
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a survey of scholarly sources that provides an overview of a
particular topic. Literature reviews are a collection of the most relevant and significant
publications regarding that topic in order to provide a comprehensive look at what has been
said on the topic and by whom. The basic components of a literature review include:
a description of the publication;
a reference to the author’s credentials;
a summary of the publication’s main points; and
an evaluation of the publication’s contribution to the topic.
What is the difference between a literature review and an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of your references with a summary of the content and
the publication’s relationship to your research question. A literature review is an overview
of the topic, an explanation of how publications differ from one another, and an
examination of how each publication contributes to the discussion and understanding of the
topic.
What is the purpose of a literature review?
The purpose of a literature review is to provide a review of writings on the given topic in
order to establish the reviewer’s own position in the existing field of scholarship on that
topic. A literature review provides a reader with a comprehensive look at previous
discussions prior to the one the reviewer will be making in his/her own research paper,
thesis, or dissertation. In short, a literature review shows readers where the reviewer is
entering the academic conversation on a particular topic in the context of existing
scholarship.
How do I create a literature review?
The length and depth of your literature review depends on the length of your project. If
you are writing a 10-page argument paper, you may have room to include 5-6 sources to
review, because you will also be establishing your argument as well, but there’s no hard
equation for how many/how much. Use your judgment or consult your instructor.
Here is a step-by-step approach to drafting your literature review:
1. Define Your Goal. If you are writing an argument paper, create a thesis statement
with a clear position. If you are evaluating scientific theories, develop a hypothesis
to examine. If you are providing a self-contained review of writings on a topic,
state your project’s purpose. At the beginning of any paper, define your paper’s
purpose so that the literature review will be anchored to a specific point of view.
2. Do Your Research. Review a number of texts that most closely pertain to your
topic and position, and are written by relevant scholars. Understand who the top
2
voices are in your topic’s academic field, and be sure to include the most pertinent
publications by those scholars.
3. Ground Summary in Relevance. As you summarize each publication, provide the
context for that publication’s importance b ...

Abstract
Although acknowledging the stress of raising their child with intellectual disabilities, parents also
report that their child has brought about many positive changes in themselves and family. This
study reports what parents perceive to be a positive aspect of parenting their child, as currently
what constitutes a ‘positive’ is unclear. Seven key themes were identified; an increased sense of
personal strength and confidence, changed priorities, greater appreciation of life, pleasure in the
child’s accomplishments, increased faith/spirituality, more meaningful relationships and the positive
effect that the child has on the wider community. Interpretive examination of the themes reveals
that the positive aspects identified consist mostly of meaning-focused coping strategies. T.

The State of the Science in Practice
The phrase
evidence-based practice
may be most often thought of as a clinical reference; however, research evidence is applicable in every specialty area. What types of research evidence support your work environment? How does research evidence inform your practice?
Now, how current do you think the science is that underlies your practice? How current is the evidence that supports your specialty practice guidelines?
To prepare:
Bring to mind an issue related to your practice. You may use the issue you are exploring for your EBP Project, or another current issue in your specialty area.
If possible, examine practices and/or practice guidelines established to address your selected issue and determine how current the evidence is that supports them.
Using the Walden Library, locate recently published articles that discuss research translated into evidence that applies to your selected practice issue. If you are unable to locate current articles (within the last five years), use the Internet to find evidence-based practice articles on this topic.
Consider the following questions:
How current is the science that supported the practice or practice guidelines?
What new evidence has emerged since the practice guidelines were crafted and adopted?
By tomorrow 09/11/18 12 by 10 pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references less than 5 years old. Include the level one header as numbered below:

This is what I have so far if you could please go off of my introduction. My topic is on women and obesity. What causes women to become obese? My four psychological domains that I am using for this integrative literature review are Domain- 1: Biological (includes neuroscience, consciousness, and sensation), Domain 3: Development (includes learning and conditioning, lifespan development, and language), Domain 4: Social and Personality (includes the study of personality, emotion, motivation, gender, and culture) and Domain 5: Mental and Physical Health (includes abnormal psychology, therapy, and health psychology) If you could please do the Discussion which includes the analysis, critique, synthesis and conclusion.
These are the instructions:
Integrative Literature Review
The primary goal of this literature review is to integrate concepts from four different content domains within the larger field of psychology. The four content domains should be chosen from previous coursework in this program. In this paper, students will review the findings in the individual empirical articles, organize the research in a meaningful way, evaluate the reliability, validity, and generalizability of the research findings, and present an integrated synthesis of the research that sheds new light on the topics within and across the four domains.
The result of a successful integrative literature review may be a significant contribution to a particular body of knowledge and, consequently, to research and practice. Therefore, before writing this literature review, substantive new research must be conducted via the Internet and within the Ashford University Library for each of the four chosen domains. A minimum of six sources must be included for each of the four domains. Although content from literature reviews completed in prior courses within this program may be included, it may not constitute the total research for the individual domains addressed within this assignment. No more than four sources from previous literature reviews completed in this program may be utilized for this integrative review.
The headings listed below must be used within the paper to delineate the sections of content. These sections include the following: a clear introduction that provides a general review and organizes the research in a meaningful way; a discussion in which the evidence is presented through analysis, critique, and synthesis; and a conclusion in which the discussion is drawn together in a meaningful way, the claims of the introduction are brought to a logical closure, and new research is proposed.

Answer to Question 1
Thesis statement: Postpartum depression has made it difficult for mothers to have a healthy relationship with their child. It has been observed that a high rate of prevalence is observed among these mothers six months after child delivery. For properly managing the postpartum depression, identification of several challenges during this period is extremely essential. Answer to Question 2
Some tips for locating sources for research papers to help classmates are in various places. I would tell them to first start with the library. If accuracy is concerned, the library has many sources that are more accurate as compared to something such as Wikipedia. Depending upon the research paper size, a number of sources can be used, but the main goal must be the use of sources, which will be very much authoritative (Ghiani et al., 2014). Now, for finding sources, which are authoritative, most of these sources are cited by other sources. Another place to check is Google Scholar. It would be much better if the trail of citations is followed to the primary sources. After finding all reputable sources, this can help in explaining the topic. It is essential to get sources, which are behind the sources for your research paper. This can be considered as an area for having a real opportunity in setting the research paper apart from other classmates. There must be at least one source per page of the research paper. Answer to Question 3
Focused knowledge provides a greater depth of knowledge as well as an understanding of any given subject (Dong et al., 2017). By possessing a working knowledge of any particular subject and along with such an increased knowledge of that particular subject through focused research, will help in arriving at a deep understanding of the subject. Focused knowledge is considered a product of smart research and it is also useful in utilizing time efficiently (Jensen, 2014). Such focused research may challenge several ideas which are preconceived and back those up or rather force the individual in altering his/ her perspective on that subject. Focused knowledge is mainly narrow and mostly restricts itself to a particular topic or subject.
This kind of knowledge can be developed by searching the sources which are the best. Anyone who is looking up any particular topic must know what he/ she is actually looking for and how that individual is going to utilize it within the research paper (Masuda et al., 2014). They must also see if the chosen source is credible or not and after checking he or she must find the first source instead of the second one. Therefore, for obtaining the best research paper possible, particular questions which are to be answered that will help in writing the research paper must be ensured.

My topic is:
Global sexual violence
Those is my search (
The United Nations Children ’s Fund (UNICEF) published a global child abuse research report on the 4th, pointing out that about 10% of girls under the age of 20 have been sexually assaulted or other compulsive sexual behaviors; more than half of children between the ages of 2-14 are often suffered Parents or guardians beaten; and about 20% of the murder victims worldwide are teenagers and children under 20 years old.
The vast majority of violent incidents come from people who interact daily with children, such as family members, peers, and partners. On the whole, the proportion of wars that harm children is not large; but in the context of armed conflicts and other humanitarian crises, domestic violence suffered by women and children will grow significantly.
Sexual violence is a serious public health problem, which can have a long or short profound impact on physical and mental health. For example, it may affect the ability to reproduce and increase fertility, increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, and may lead to suicide or self-mutilation. And other behaviors. During or after sexual violence, the victim's killing due to honorary murder is also part of sexual violence. Although women are the main victims of sexual violence, people of any age and gender may be harmed by sexual violence.)

In a thoughtful commentary, Aeschleman (1991) observed a decreasing interest in single-case research (SCR)

empirical papers published in Rehabilitation Psychology, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and
Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin used a single-subject design (<1.5% of the total; Aeschleman, 1991, p. 43). A brief
examination of the past 15 years of Rehabilitation Psychology reveals one article that offered an innovative way to
analyze single-case data (Callahan & Barisa, 2005) and another that was a true single-case study (Pijnenborg,

If accuracy is concerned, the library has many sources that are more accurate as compared to something such as Wikipedia. Depending upon the research paper size, a number of sources can be used, but the main goal must be the use of sources, which will be very much authoritative (Ghiani et al., 2014). Now, for finding sources, which are authoritative, most of these sources are cited by other sources. Another place to check is Google Scholar. It would be much better if the trail of citations is followed to the primary sources. After finding all reputable sources, this can help in explaining the topic. It is essential to get sources, which are behind the sources for your research paper. This can be considered as an area for having a real opportunity in setting the research paper apart from other classmates. There must be at least one source per page of the research paper. Answer to Question 3
Focused knowledge provides a greater depth of knowledge as well as an understanding of any given subject (Dong et al., 2017). By possessing a working knowledge of any particular subject and along with such an increased knowledge of that particular subject through focused research, will help in arriving at a deep understanding of the subject. Focused knowledge is considered a product of smart research and it is also useful in utilizing time efficiently (Jensen, 2014). Such focused research may challenge several ideas which are preconceived and back those up or rather force the individual in altering his/ her perspective on that subject. Focused knowledge is mainly narrow and mostly restricts itself to a particular topic or subject.
This kind of knowledge can be developed by searching the sources which are the best. Anyone who is looking up any particular topic must know what he/ she is actually looking for and how that individual is going to utilize it within the research paper (Masuda et al., 2014). They must also see if the chosen source is credible or not and after checking he or she must find the first source instead of the second one. Therefore, for obtaining the best research paper possible, particular questions which are to be answered that will help in writing the research paper must be ensured.

My topic is:
Global sexual violence
Those is my search (
The United Nations Children ’s Fund (UNICEF) published a global child abuse research report on the 4th, pointing out that about 10% of girls under the age of 20 have been sexually assaulted or other compulsive sexual behaviors; more than half of children between the ages of 2-14 are often suffered Parents or guardians beaten; and about 20% of the murder victims worldwide are teenagers and children under 20 years old.
The vast majority of violent incidents come from people who interact daily with children, such as family members, peers, and partners. On the whole, the proportion of wars that harm children is not large; but in the context of armed conflicts and other humanitarian crises, domestic violence suffered by women and children will grow significantly.
Sexual violence is a serious public health problem, which can have a long or short profound impact on physical and mental health. For example, it may affect the ability to reproduce and increase fertility, increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, and may lead to suicide or self-mutilation. And other behaviors. During or after sexual violence, the victim's killing due to honorary murder is also part of sexual violence. Although women are the main victims of sexual violence, people of any age and gender may be harmed by sexual violence.)

In a thoughtful commentary, Aeschleman (1991) observed a decreasing interest in single-case research (SCR)
designs in the rehabilitation psychology literature: Between 1985 and 1989, Aeschleman found only 6 out of 402
empirical papers published in Rehabilitation Psychology, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and
Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin used a single-subject design (<1.5% of the total; Aeschleman, 1991, p. 43). A brief
examination of the past 15 years of Rehabilitation Psychology reveals one article that offered an innovative way to
analyze single-case data (Callahan & Barisa, 2005) and another that was a true single-case study (Pijnenborg,
Withaar, Evans, van den Bosch, & Brouwer, 2007).
We disagree with Aeschleman's bleak conclusion that SCR designs “… have not made a methodological impact on

Literature Review: Childhood Obesity
The prevalence of childhood obesity in the United States has increased at such a rapid rate that this has been considered a serious healthcare issue. This issue has attracted the attention of policy makers, government agencies, and the community. Due to the extent of the problem, a large number of researchers have investigated a number of factors relating to childhood obesity. One of the factors that have been investigated is the impact of changing the attitudes of the patients towards obesity and lifestyle factors that cause a risk factor. In this study, the main factor being investigated is the impact of education on exercise and diet on patients who have a BMI of more than 30. The following is a summary of a review of the literature used to determine the impact of educating patients on exercise and diet changes.

Observational Study DesignsA clinical pediatric nurse has .docxpoulterbarbara
Observational Study Designs
A clinical pediatric nurse has noticed a rise in childhood cancer diagnoses among the Hispanic population served by the local clinic. The nurse is concerned about this increase in cancer incidence in the patient population and turns to the literature to explore current research on this topic. The nurse finds through the reading that there appears to be an association between parental smoking and childhood cancer and wonders if this could be the cause of the rise in cases.
This type of suspected association between a risk factor (exposure) and a particular outcome (childhood cancer) can be evaluated using an observational study design. This week, you were introduced to observational study designs used in epidemiology. For this Discussion, you will identify an epidemiologic association of interest (e.g., smoking and lung cancer, obesity and heart disease, hormone replacement/modification therapy and breast cancer) and determine an appropriate observational study design for exploring that association.
To prepare:
Review the different types of observational study designs presented in the Learning Resources: ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort.
Carefully examine the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each design.
Consider an association between a risk factor and a particular health outcome that is of interest to you. Then, select the observational study design you think would be the most appropriate for exploring this association.
Consider how using observational study designs can lead to improvements in population health.
By tomorrow 03/14/2018 12 noon, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below:
Post
a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Identify the association between the risk factor and health outcome you selected and suggest which observational study design you feel is most appropriate for examining that association.
2) Support your selection of the observational design, noting its strengths and limitations for addressing the health problem.
3) What might you be able to learn by using your selected study design that might lead to improvements in population health? Support your response with evidence from the literature.

In nursing, evidence-based practice (EBP) is a blend of research f.docxsleeperharwell
In nursing, evidence-based practice (EBP) is a blend of research findings, clinical skills, and patient choices (Skaggs et al., 2018). In clinical practice, nurses are pushed to adopt this problem-solving strategy to deliver individualized patient care. EBP includes information on evidence-based practices in practically all areas of nursing, such as direct patient care, workflow concerns, infection control, supply management, charting, and central line care, to name a few. EBP enables nurses to utilize the most recent research methods in real-world settings, such as direct patient care. With the nurse's extensive knowledge and data on quality improvement, potential improvements to current processes that may result in better outcomes can be considered. EBP can improve patient care by focusing on known results. In a fast-paced industry like healthcare, it is crucial to remain current with the most recent research methodology.
Journals subject to peer review are one of the most reliable sources of evidence-based research. In reality, peer-reviewed publications are the most reputable source of study findings. They are the settings where researchers evaluate the efficacy of drugs, therapies, and behaviors and publish their findings (Schmidt & Brown, 2017). Peer-reviewed sources are those that have been evaluated for quality by experts and professionals in accordance with industry standards. Unlike many websites, peer-reviewed materials are examined prior to publication. This shows that the library's collections are a more reliable source of information than the Internet. PubMed and CINAHL are two important evidence-based research tools. PubMed is a database of articles and papers covering a broad spectrum of biological and clinical research. Evidence-Based Practice is an advanced search option in CINAHL that restricts search results to articles from evidence-based journals, articles about evidence-based practice, articles about applying evidence-based practice to research, and research articles, including systematic reviews, clinical trials, and meta-analyses.

Evidence-based practice illustrates the difference between on-the-job experience and research-based assessment and interventions that are done daily. The importance of EBP will stop healthcare professionals from providing care that is ritualistic and traditional. EBP can also determine the efficacy of the care provided and evaluate the care to ensure positive patient outcomes (Tappen,.R.M. 2015). One of the worst mindsets to have is “that is how we have.

Young and the Restless
Week 11: Couples Therapy Movie Experience & Paper (28 points)
Couples Therapy Movie/TV Experience & Analysis Paper (Due week 11): 28 points
Couples Therapy Movies Experience & Analysis Paper based is based on the UCLA Marriage Enrichment Program & Happily Ever After The Movies & Relationship Study (A research study that is being conducted by Professor Ronald D. Rogge from the University of Rochester’s Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology) as well as the “PAIR Program” Promoting Awareness and Improving Relationships with Movies, my experience as a LMHC, LPC and LMFT Clinical Supervisor, Prepare/Enrich Certified Marital Counselor, Certified Supreme Court Mediator, and Certified Parent Coordinator.
http://www.courses.rochester.edu/surveys/funk/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
“A recent study at UCLA of Couples after the first 3 years of marriage (Roggie, et al., 2014) suggested that couples felt enriched by watching movies together and then “engaging in relationship focused” discussions after each movie. In these conversations the couple would discuss how their relationship was similar to different from the intimate relationship portrayed in each movie.’
This is a self-growth and Movie/TV analysis experience activity. Ideally doing this with a partner would be fun however not required. You can do this alone and base it on a relationship you had or one you hope to have or your family. It is not important to disclose if it is your relationship that you are using if you do not want to however be consistent with who you are using in your reflections.
The best approach to this assignment is to pick a show or a movie and watch it the beginning of the term and then at the end unless you choose a TV show to “binge” watch as part of this class or over the 3 months of class to immerse yourself into the show and couples you will be assessing and exploring in this project and take notes based on the assessment questions each time you watch the movie/show.
You will be looking at the following objectives for the couple:
• Explore strength and growth areas
• Strengthen communication skills
• Identify and manage major stressors
• Conflict resolution abilities
• Develop a more balanced relationship
• Explore family of origin issues
• Discuss financial planning and budgeting
• Establish personal, couple and family goals
• Understand and appreciate personality differences
Your Task (Cut and Paste these questions into a WORD document and create a template to use while watching movies/TV shows of your choice):
1) Pick 1 movie or “binge” watch a TV show (at least 4-6 episodes) related to Couples and Family.
2) Answer the following questions in a journal format or paper if you choose referencing the TV show/movies you watch, your text and other Couple and Family Therapy resources you use to support your thoughts/ideas.
1. What movie/TV shows did you watch? List.

You may have seen how financial news outlets provide real-time financial market reporting. They often produce stock-market news feeds for traders; these news feeds include a stock chart. The stock chart may include different filters that allow you to see how the stock is performing today or has performed over one or more years.
There are many factors that will influence pricing that can’t be controlled or predicted accurately. The approaches used to value stocks (determine what the stock is truly worth) are usually theoretical. You should consider what drives stock prices and why.

Tesla's stock has a positive trend over the past year. The stock has ranged from a low of $187.06 a year ago to a high of $883.09 on January 26, 2021 (Yahoo, 2021a). Tesla's shares have skyrocketed more than 20,000% since it went public in 2010, with its price rising more than 700% over the last year (Levin, 2021). This growth has made Tesla the most valuable car company in the world. There are many reasons for this epic growth. After years of not turning a profit for years, Tesla has finally shown a profit for the last 6 quarters. Tesla also beat estimates by producing more than 500,000 vehicles and selling its fifth vehicle, Modle Y, ahead of schedule (Levin, 2021). In addition, Tesla was added to the S&P 500 on November 16th, 2020, which helped the share price spike. These are the main drivers of the success of Teslas stock over the past 12 months. Another positive trend that has factored into the growth of Tesla's stock is the growing demand for EV stocks in general. Tightening emission regulations and the government's continued push towards renewable energy have also help Tesla's shares rise.

Are you guys ready? Students say, “Yes”! Teacher starts asking questions. Team A! Which sports Jackie Robinson played? Students raised their hands. Robert? Can you give the answer? Robert says soccer. Teacher appreciating Robert’s effort says very good Robert and write 10 under the column of Team A. Next question for Team B, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went to the college to become? Students raise their hands. James, can you answer? James says, “Minister”. Teacher appreciates the attempt but the answer is not correct. Ok! Now, what you guys think what was the main contribution of Abraham Lincoln?Timothy raised his hand and replied, he brought freedom and abolish slavery. Rosie raised her hand and replied, he ran the country being a president of the country. Teacher says, when we freedom was attained by the African American it was not solely due to Abraham Lincoln. Who played the actual role? Joseph replies, African Americans themselves. Teacher appreciated Joseph’s answer saying absolutely right. No leader can bring freedom from slavery or racism until its people are themselves not ready to put their efforts. Nation needs to be united to get rid of inequality.

Your organization uses custom-built legacy software applications and systems to support its sales processes.

Management is frustrated because the sales applications and systems do not provide the information and reports necessary for them to measure, monitor, and manage sales production in the organization. Sales executives and account managers are frustrated because the sales software applications and systems do not support the sales cycle for the products and services that the organization sells.
You have been assigned to analyze your organization’s sales processes and identify an IT system capable of improving the sales processes of your organization. In addition, your organization is looking for an easy-to-use, cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution to generate more leads, increase sales, improve customer service, reduce the cost of sales for the organization, and increase revenue.

Literature Review: Childhood Obesity
The prevalence of childhood obesity in the United States has increased at such a rapid rate that this has been considered a serious healthcare issue. This issue has attracted the attention of policy makers, government agencies, and the community. Due to the extent of the problem, a large number of researchers have investigated a number of factors relating to childhood obesity. One of the factors that have been investigated is the impact of changing the attitudes of the patients towards obesity and lifestyle factors that cause a risk factor. In this study, the main factor being investigated is the impact of education on exercise and diet on patients who have a BMI of more than 30. The following is a summary of a review of the literature used to determine the impact of educating patients on exercise and diet changes.
Comparison of Research Questions
Most of the literature analyzed for this study focuses on the intervention strategies for childhood obesity. Cheung et al. seeks to understand the extent of the childhood obesity in America. The research asks about the incidence of childhood obesity in America in a bid to demonstrate the extent of the problem.

Observational Study DesignsA clinical pediatric nurse has .docxpoulterbarbara
Observational Study Designs
A clinical pediatric nurse has noticed a rise in childhood cancer diagnoses among the Hispanic population served by the local clinic. The nurse is concerned about this increase in cancer incidence in the patient population and turns to the literature to explore current research on this topic. The nurse finds through the reading that there appears to be an association between parental smoking and childhood cancer and wonders if this could be the cause of the rise in cases.
This type of suspected association between a risk factor (exposure) and a particular outcome (childhood cancer) can be evaluated using an observational study design. This week, you were introduced to observational study designs used in epidemiology. For this Discussion, you will identify an epidemiologic association of interest (e.g., smoking and lung cancer, obesity and heart disease, hormone replacement/modification therapy and breast cancer) and determine an appropriate observational study design for exploring that association.
To prepare:
Review the different types of observational study designs presented in the Learning Resources: ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort.
Carefully examine the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each design.
Consider an association between a risk factor and a particular health outcome that is of interest to you. Then, select the observational study design you think would be the most appropriate for exploring this association.
Consider how using observational study designs can lead to improvements in population health.
By tomorrow 03/14/2018 12 noon, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below:
Post
a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Identify the association between the risk factor and health outcome you selected and suggest which observational study design you feel is most appropriate for examining that association.
2) Support your selection of the observational design, noting its strengths and limitations for addressing the health problem.
3) What might you be able to learn by using your selected study design that might lead to improvements in population health? Support your response with evidence from the literature.

In nursing, evidence-based practice (EBP) is a blend of research f.docxsleeperharwell
In nursing, evidence-based practice (EBP) is a blend of research findings, clinical skills, and patient choices (Skaggs et al., 2018). In clinical practice, nurses are pushed to adopt this problem-solving strategy to deliver individualized patient care. EBP includes information on evidence-based practices in practically all areas of nursing, such as direct patient care, workflow concerns, infection control, supply management, charting, and central line care, to name a few. EBP enables nurses to utilize the most recent research methods in real-world settings, such as direct patient care. With the nurse's extensive knowledge and data on quality improvement, potential improvements to current processes that may result in better outcomes can be considered. EBP can improve patient care by focusing on known results. In a fast-paced industry like healthcare, it is crucial to remain current with the most recent research methodology.
Journals subject to peer review are one of the most reliable sources of evidence-based research. In reality, peer-reviewed publications are the most reputable source of study findings. They are the settings where researchers evaluate the efficacy of drugs, therapies, and behaviors and publish their findings (Schmidt & Brown, 2017). Peer-reviewed sources are those that have been evaluated for quality by experts and professionals in accordance with industry standards. Unlike many websites, peer-reviewed materials are examined prior to publication. This shows that the library's collections are a more reliable source of information than the Internet. PubMed and CINAHL are two important evidence-based research tools. PubMed is a database of articles and papers covering a broad spectrum of biological and clinical research. Evidence-Based Practice is an advanced search option in CINAHL that restricts search results to articles from evidence-based journals, articles about evidence-based practice, articles about applying evidence-based practice to research, and research articles, including systematic reviews, clinical trials, and meta-analyses.

Evidence-based practice illustrates the difference between on-the-job experience and research-based assessment and interventions that are done daily. The importance of EBP will stop healthcare professionals from providing care that is ritualistic and traditional. EBP can also determine the efficacy of the care provided and evaluate the care to ensure positive patient outcomes (Tappen,.R.M. 2015). One of the worst mindsets to have is “that is how we have.

Week 11: Couples Therapy Movie Experience & Paper (28 points)
Couples Therapy Movie/TV Experience & Analysis Paper (Due week 11): 28 points
Couples Therapy Movies Experience & Analysis Paper based is based on the UCLA Marriage Enrichment Program & Happily Ever After The Movies & Relationship Study (A research study that is being conducted by Professor Ronald D. Rogge from the University of Rochester’s Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology) as well as the “PAIR Program” Promoting Awareness and Improving Relationships with Movies, my experience as a LMHC, LPC and LMFT Clinical Supervisor, Prepare/Enrich Certified Marital Counselor, Certified Supreme Court Mediator, and Certified Parent Coordinator.
http://www.courses.rochester.edu/surveys/funk/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
“A recent study at UCLA of Couples after the first 3 years of marriage (Roggie, et al., 2014) suggested that couples felt enriched by watching movies together and then “engaging in relationship focused” discussions after each movie. In these conversations the couple would discuss how their relationship was similar to different from the intimate relationship portrayed in each movie.’
This is a self-growth and Movie/TV analysis experience activity. Ideally doing this with a partner would be fun however not required. You can do this alone and base it on a relationship you had or one you hope to have or your family. It is not important to disclose if it is your relationship that you are using if you do not want to however be consistent with who you are using in your reflections.
The best approach to this assignment is to pick a show or a movie and watch it the beginning of the term and then at the end unless you choose a TV show to “binge” watch as part of this class or over the 3 months of class to immerse yourself into the show and couples you will be assessing and exploring in this project and take notes based on the assessment questions each time you watch the movie/show.
You will be looking at the following objectives for the couple:
• Explore strength and growth areas
• Strengthen communication skills
• Identify and manage major stressors
• Conflict resolution abilities
• Develop a more balanced relationship
• Explore family of origin issues
• Discuss financial planning and budgeting
• Establish personal, couple and family goals
• Understand and appreciate personality differences
Your Task (Cut and Paste these questions into a WORD document and create a template to use while watching movies/TV shows of your choice):
1) Pick 1 movie or “binge” watch a TV show (at least 4-6 episodes) related to Couples and Family.
2) Answer the following questions in a journal format or paper if you choose referencing the TV show/movies you watch, your text and other Couple and Family Therapy resources you use to support your thoughts/ideas.
1. What movie/TV shows did you watch? List.

The stock chart may include different filters that allow you to see how the stock is performing today or has performed over one or more years.
There are many factors that will influence pricing that can’t be controlled or predicted accurately. The approaches used to value stocks (determine what the stock is truly worth) are usually theoretical. You should consider what drives stock prices and why.

Tesla's stock has a positive trend over the past year. The stock has ranged from a low of $187.06 a year ago to a high of $883.09 on January 26, 2021 (Yahoo, 2021a). Tesla's shares have skyrocketed more than 20,000% since it went public in 2010, with its price rising more than 700% over the last year (Levin, 2021). This growth has made Tesla the most valuable car company in the world. There are many reasons for this epic growth. After years of not turning a profit for years, Tesla has finally shown a profit for the last 6 quarters. Tesla also beat estimates by producing more than 500,000 vehicles and selling its fifth vehicle, Modle Y, ahead of schedule (Levin, 2021). In addition, Tesla was added to the S&P 500 on November 16th, 2020, which helped the share price spike. These are the main drivers of the success of Teslas stock over the past 12 months. Another positive trend that has factored into the growth of Tesla's stock is the growing demand for EV stocks in general. Tightening emission regulations and the government's continued push towards renewable energy have also help Tesla's shares rise.

Next question for Team B, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went to the college to become? Students raise their hands. James, can you answer? James says, “Minister”. Teacher appreciates the attempt but the answer is not correct. Ok! Now, what you guys think what was the main contribution of Abraham Lincoln?Timothy raised his hand and replied, he brought freedom and abolish slavery. Rosie raised her hand and replied, he ran the country being a president of the country. Teacher says, when we freedom was attained by the African American it was not solely due to Abraham Lincoln. Who played the actual role? Joseph replies, African Americans themselves. Teacher appreciated Joseph’s answer saying absolutely right. No leader can bring freedom from slavery or racism until its people are themselves not ready to put their efforts. Nation needs to be united to get rid of inequality.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Week 9 Review of Literature Example
Written by Jennifer Oddy, Entitled:
Distress And Coping of Mothers of Children With Muscular
Dystrophy
Introduction
The purpose of this literature review is to discuss the current
knowledge regarding experiences of mothers who care for their
child with muscular dystrophy, their coping mechanisms, and to
understand their lived experiences in order to provide better
nursing care to these mothers. Not only will the current
knowledge be addressed, this literature review will also speak
to what is unknown about this phenomenon. The concepts of
maternal stress/well-being, adjustment, anxiety, and coping will
all be addressed as common themes emerging from the data.
The research question for this study is:
What are the lived experiences of mothers who care for their
child with muscular dystrophy?
The search for literature took place in the spring of 2015, which
was completed using EBSCOhost to search 17 online databases
through the Regis College Library. Google Scholar was also
used, which brought up articles from PubMed that have been
utilized. Eight peer- reviewed research journal articles were
4. obtained and scrutinized for the purpose of this review of
literature and the literature matrix (Appendix B). Search terms
included: children, chronic disease, mother, distress, coping,
muscular dystrophy, maternal experience, stress, and
adjustment. To ensure the most relevant literature was cited, the
majority of the articles were from 2007-2013. One article was
from 2003, two from 2005, and the remaining five articles were
between 2007 and 2013. The older articles were included for the
purpose of their significance to the subject matter. However,
this gap in literature provides evidence that there is need for
further research regarding the lived experiences of mothers who
care for their child with muscular dystrophy.
This review of literature will include empirical and theoretical
sections, as well as a brief description of how the researcher
arrived at this topic of interest. In the empirical literature
section, the literature from eight peer-reviewed journals will be
synthesized. Individual findings from certain articles will be
cited in order to provide details about the experiences of
mothers caring for their child with muscular dystrophy. These
experiences will then be related to the discipline of psychology,
demonstrating the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach.
The empirical literature will be concluded with the gap in
literature and why there is a need to further investigate this
topic. These topics are all used to form the following sub-
headings: overview, lifestyle as a contributor to maternal stress
and well-being, difficulty adjusting, anxiety directly relates to
quality of life, the struggles of coping, maternal stress related to
other disciplines, a summary, and the gaps in literature. The
purpose of these sub-headings is to organize the empirical
literature section.
Empirical Literature
Overview.
There have been a number of research articles that delve into
5. the experiences of mothers who care for their child with
muscular dystrophy. The Literature Matrix (Appendix B) is an
overview of eight research articles that studied the experiences
and lifestyle of these women. Two research articles were
literature reviews and six were experimental studies. One study
used a conceptual model to guide the research, which will be
presented in the theoretical section of this literature review.
Children and families who are faced with the stress of having a
child with muscular dystrophy must adapt to physical,
emotional, social, and financial challenges. The increase in
every-day caregiving requirements, lifestyle, the disease
complexities, and family dynamics can influence long-term
health outcomes (Barlow & Ellard, 2005). In addition, the
financial status and interactions of the child and/or family with
their environment can be severely impacted (Brown et al.,
2007). Through this review of literature from the eight articles,
four emerging themes became evident: the lifestyle associated
with having a child with muscular dystrophy affects maternal
stress and well-being; mothers experience difficulty adjusting;
maternal anxiety is directly related to quality of life; and the
struggles with the experience of coping. This empirical research
section will use the themes to organize the literature, followed
by a brief section about maternal distress relating to other
disciplines, as well as the gap in the current literature.
Lifestyle as a contributor to maternal stress and well-being.
While both mothers and fathers may have worries about
maintaining family function when caring for a child with
muscular dystrophy, typically the mother herself is identified as
the primary caregiver (Brown et al., 2008). This is described as
“carrying the burden,” since the mothers are the individuals
following through with doctor appointments, monitoring the
child’s status, administering medications/treatments, all in
addition to feeding the rest of the family and cleaning the home
(Brown, et al. 2008). This places a large stressor on the mother,
6. who may be so concerned about everyone else’s well-being, that
she may not have time for her own. The literature has shown
that the lifestyle of having a child with muscular dystrophy can
severely impact maternal well-being (Barlow & Ellard, 2005).
Carroll, Gallagher, and Phillips (2010) conducted a descriptive
comparative study regarding the psychosocial predictors of
sleep quality in parents caring for a child with a chronic
disease. The researchers used convenience sampling to obtain
67 parents of children with developmental disabilities to
compare to 42 parents of typically-developing children. The
results of the study identified sleep quality as an important
aspect of well-being and strongly related it to overall quality of
life. There is reasonable consensus across the literature that
problematic and challenging behaviors are a main source of
stress for parents of children with a chronic disease (Carroll et
al., 2010). Having a child with muscular dystrophy may invoke
a state of stress in mothers. Unfortunately, stress has been
found to be the strongest predictor of poor sleep quality (β =.45,
t = 4.17, p <.001) and accounted for 30% of the variation in
sleep quality among mothers who care for a child with a chronic
disease. Knowing this, it is no surprise that parents of children
with chronic disease report poorer sleep quality than parents
who do not face this burden. In addition, the majority of these
parents met the “poor sleepers” criterion. While sleep is
something that most people take for granted, it is an important
part of well-being that can be altered in impeding circumstances
such as having a child with muscular dystrophy (Carroll et al.,
2010).
Another descriptive comparative research study conducted by
Nereo, Fee, and Hinton (2003), was aimed at examining parental
stress in mothers of boys with muscular dystrophy (MD). The
sample was done by consecutive and convenience sampling, and
consisted of 112 mothers of boys with MD, 800 mothers of
healthy children, 28 mothers of children with cerebral palsy,
7. and 46 siblings of boys with MD. The results demonstrated that
stress related to child behavior was higher in the MD group
(23.98) than the normative group (18.7). The mean MD parent-
child dysfunctional interaction score was also much great in the
MD group (M=23.98) than the normative sample (M=18.7).
Lastly, the mean MD difficult child score (M=30.64) was
greater than the normative sample (M=26). These results
demonstrate the presence of problem child behaviors
consistently predicting maternal stress, which relates to child
behavior and the difficulty of caring for a child with muscular
dystrophy. In addition, Nereo and colleagues (2003)
characterize muscular dystrophy as a complex chronic condition
since it involves specialized and time-consuming care. The
disease poses stressors in terms of daily care requirements.
Negotiating wheelchair transportation, meeting recommended
physical therapy requirements, and increasing physical demands
are just a few of the accommodations that mothers must make
time for in their daily schedules. These physical burdens can
place a strain on the caregiving mother and increase preexisting
stress (Nereo et al., 2003).
In addition to the physical aid that mothers provide, muscular
dystrophy can also affect mental health. The disease is both
chronic and terminal, therefore carrying the necessity for many
psychological adjustments to occur within the family at any
given time (Nereo et al., 2003). Furthermore, parental stress can
have a direct impact on the health of the child. Lynn et al.
describe the concept of uncertainty in relation to family and
dynamics. As parental uncertainty increased, child uncertainty
also increased (Lynn et al., 2010). As uncertainty in the child
increases, so do anxiety, depression, and psychological distress.
This is not healthy for the child, nor the mother and/or the rest
of the family that is involved.
Difficulty adjusting.
Chronic diseases in children have an impact not only on the
8. child, but also on other members of the family. Barlow and
Ellard (2005) provided an overview of the current literature
regarding the psychosocial well-being of children with chronic
disease, their parents, and siblings. A total of 391 articles were
identified that were selected according to strict inclusion
criteria. Two researchers reviewed the articles for reliability.
The findings were consistent that emotional distress (anxiety
and depression) was greater among parents of children
diagnosed with chronic diseases. Mothers may not have the
financial ability to hire a caregiver, leaving the stress solely on
her. It then becomes an issue that the mother does not have time
to run errands, get the household chores done, or even be able
to work. Not only does this hinder the mother, it also impedes
on the already delicate health of the child (Barlow & Ellard,
2005). Consistent with this research, the article “Correlates of
maternal and paternal adjustment to chronic childhood disease”
states that mothers reported significantly more difficulties than
fathers while attempting to adjust to things like new lifestyle,
caregiving requirements, and changing prognosis (Crawford &
Dewey, 2007). Specifically, mothers were prone to higher levels
of psychological distress if they had poor family cohesion and
less social support. This is consistent with the rest of the
literature, Barlow & Ellard (2005) stating that mothers are less
likely to be affected by the stress of their child’s chronic
disease if they have a social output, and Brown et al. (2008)
referring to demographic variables such as resources and social
groups and how they play a role in the support of these parents.
Crawford and Dewey (2007) conducted a descriptive study in
order to determine if different factors were associated with
maternal and paternal adjustment to having children with life-
limiting chronic diseases. Convenience sampling was used in
order to obtain a sample of 11 mothers and 9 fathers of children
with muscular dystrophy. A control group of 19 mothers and 11
fathers of healthy children was also obtained for comparison.
The results demonstrated that mothers reported significantly
9. more adjustment difficulties than fathers (F[1,124]= 6.57, p<
.05), had a harder time adapting (F[1,124]= 4.80, p< .05), and
families with children with chronic diseases had lower scores in
family cohesion (F[2,124]= 4.84, p< .01). Through data
collection, Crawford and Dewey attribute adaptation struggles
to things like previous psychological functioning of family
members, socioeconomic status, concurrent psychosocial
stressors, and quality of relationships. These are all things that
have the potential to significantly alter a mother’s ability to
adjust. Another large factor that plays a role in maternal
adjustment is the prognosis of muscular dystrophy. It is a
progressive and fatal disease where the child can take a turn for
the worse at any given moment (Nereo et al., 2003). Because of
this, it is difficult for mothers to adjust to an ever-changing
state of health of their child (Lucio et al., 2013). Lucio et al.
also states the significance of this in the health care setting.
“The adaptation process of mothers is not instantaneous and it
can change from one period of control to a situation of lack of
control. Taking care of a sick child requires skills, knowledge
about the disease and the devices to be used. The mothers need
clear information from the health professionals and their doubts
need to be clarified, so that the care to these children is
performed safely and autonomously,” (Lucio et al., 2013, p. 87)
Anxiety directly relates to quality of life.
In a qualitative, descriptive research study, Lucio and
colleagues (2013) aim to understand the mother’s perspective on
caring for their child with muscular dystrophy. Convenience
sampling was used to select children with muscular dystrophy
from a public hospital, and the nurses then made contact with
their mothers. The open- ended interviews revealed important
information about the quality of life while caring for a child
with muscular dystrophy. Mothers considered caring for their
child to be a difficult task, since they deal with unknown
devices that their child has become dependent on. This leads to
a chronic fear of losing their child and fear of what happens
10. when the electricity goes out. All this fear causes anxiety,
which the researchers found to directly affect the quality of life
of the mother as well as child. Quality of life can be greatly
negated while caring for a child with muscular dystrophy.
Mothers often leave their chores, change their daily routine, and
postpone their commitments in order to stay with their child
who is dependent on their care. Not only are these children
care-dependent, a lot of them also rely on mechanical equipment
to live. Much of the anxiety experienced in these mothers roots
from “being afraid with the possibility of them not surviving,
due to the malfunction of the equipment,” (Lucio et al., 2013, p.
86). Besides the fear of death, anxiety is highlighted as a factor
that directly afflicts with quality of life of both the children and
mothers (Lucio et al., 2013).
The struggles with coping.
Webb (2005) completed a qualitative grounded theory study that
was completed with the purpose of addressing the lack of
available information for parents about coping with muscular
dystrophy (Webb, 2005). Twenty-three parents (15 families) of
children with MD were selected from postings on the internet
and from an annual Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy
Conference. Six major coping themes emerged from the in-depth
interviews: (1) MD is caused from a mutation in the X
chromosome, therefore mothers tend to blame themselves; (2)
Diagnosis is the first tough issue that parents face; (3) Mothers
feel fear, denial, anger, guilt, and confusion about the
diagnosis; (4) Mothers sought “treatment” to help slow the
progression; (5) The anxiety related to their child chronically
relying on equipment; (6) Worries about the child finishing
school. These are all issues that cause stress and anxiety in
mothers caring for their child with muscular dystrophy. In one
instance, the researcher found that families “coped” by
overprotection, lack of child discipline, and magical thinking
(Webb, 2005). On the contrary, there were some positive
findings. Four types of coping strategies emerged: (1) Families
11. focused on the present, living one day at a time; (2) Families
attempt to live as normal a life as possible; (3) Families had a
proactive attitude regarding care for the child in order to reduce
the risk of crises; (4) Families developed coping resources
based on personal strength (Webb, 2005). Although there are
not a lot of studies regarding coping skills in parents of children
with disabilities, what is available demonstrates the need for
progression. This demonstrates the necessity to empower other
families to learn coping strategies like these. Parents want to
proactively participate in their sons’ lives, and they, as well as
practitioners, need to encourage other parents to do the same
(Webb, 2005).

influence the mind and behavior of the mothers doing the
caregiving (Barlow & Ellard, 2005). A number of studies have
confirmed an increased risk for psychological dysfunction in
mothers who have chronically ill children, one of which will be
discussed in detail, “Single parents of children with chronic
illness: an understudied phenomenon,” (Brown et al., 2008).
Brown and colleagues performed a narrative systematic review
whose purpose was to examine the literature revolving around
chronic illness and to evaluate the impact on single parenting
and children with chronic diseases. Twenty articles were used to
study single parenting. The researchers found that the anxiety
experienced by a mother during the treatment of her child was a
predictor for later posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS).
Parents of children with chronic diseases also demonstrated
increased rates of treatment for anxiety and had increased
maternal negative affect scores. These parents have few social
resources, thus increasing parental stress and other
psychological disorders. These results just barely skim the
surface of the complicated psychosocial issues experienced
when caring for a child with a chronic disease (Brown et al.,
2008).
12. Summary.
The literature provided supports this study and addresses the
research question. The literature provides insight on what the
experiences of mothers are who care for their children with
muscular dystrophy. In conclusion of the empirical literature
section, it is safe to say that mothers caring for their child with
muscular dystrophy experience a great amount of stress and
anxiety (Barlow & Ellard, 2005; Brown et al., 2008; Carroll et
al., 2010; Lynn et al., 2010; Nereo et al., 2003). This can affect
maternal well-being, and also take a toll on the child’s health
(Carroll et al., 2010). Stress and anxiety play a large role in the
quality of life of mothers, which reflects in the care they
provide to their child (Lucio et al., 2013). These things can all
lead to difficulty adjusting and poor coping skills in the mother.
Stress, anxiety, maternal well- being, adjustment, and coping all
relate to the discipline of psychology, which demonstrates the
need to approach this problem in a multi-disciplinary fashion. If
practitioners, psychologists, social workers, parents, etc. can
spread their knowledge about healthy coping and adaptation,
other parents could be empowered to live the same way,
bettering their lives as well as that of their child (Webb, 2005).
The range of psychological functioning in mothers is a very
wide spectrum. That being said, the emphasis should be placed
on identifying triggers that influence mothers’ psychological
responses to the stressors of a child’s chronic disease. Mothers
in this situation should make time for themselves, even if that
means having a family member take over the caregiving role for
a few hours. In an article based upon stress reduction in mothers
of children with autism, researchers from Vanderbilt University
speak on the subject. Studies have shown clear benefits of
mother-led stress-reduction classes for women in the same,
unique situation. Researchers created two programs: one
focusing on mindfulness and training, the other emphasizing
dealing with guilt by developing character strengths and
13. positive, healthy mental exercises. “Evaluations conducted
during and after the study showed that the mothers benefited
from either program. They had lower levels of stress, anxiety
and depression, along with improved sleep and life satisfaction.
They also had fewer ‘dysfunctional,’ or unhelpful and negative,
interactions with their children,” (Autism Speaks, 2014). It is
essential that mothers partake in such activities in order to
maintain a healthy lifestyle and relationship with their family
and children.
Gaps in Literature.
Muscular Dystrophy is a very time-consuming disease for the
child and the mother. The experiences, adjustment skills, and
coping capabilities should be shared for other mothers to feel
empowered. “Studies based on coping skills of parents whose
children have disabilities, although scant, add valuable
information to the research literature,” (Webb, 2005, p. 386). If
there were more research on this topic, mothers who are
currently struggling could perhaps be inspired to better their
situation.
One recommendation for further research should include
adaptations by the child and family to the diagnosis of a chronic
disease across the lifespan. Most of the articles focused on the
effects and adaptations of the family in the immediate stage of
diagnosis and soon after. If we knew more about the adaptations
made over a long period of time, it would enable caregivers to
plan for developmentally appropriate support as the patient
changes over time (Mussatto, 2006). In addition, there should
be tools to identify families that are at risk for poor
adaptation/resilience. If families do not have access to
necessary resources, they could struggle and be at risk for being
in an even worse situation (Brown et al., 2008).
Brown et al. (2008) included an entire table (Table II) dedicated
to the gaps in research and questions to be addressed. The
14. biggest gap in research seems to be during the adaptation phase.
At what point in the child’s life does being a single parent
matter post? How does adaptation for the single parent change
over time? Are there protective factors enhancing single
parenting? Negative factors? And culture. The articles seemed
to have sampled a homogenous population. Would the results be
different if other cultures were sampled? (Brown et al., 2008)
As one can tell, there are still many questions to be asked and
research to be completed. Mothers who have children with
muscular dystrophy are a very fragile population. Understanding
the lived experiences of these women can help practitioners and
other women in the same situation reach out to offer help and to
empower mothers to do the same.
