As you reach the conclusion of this Assignment, take a minute to appreciate your achievement. Your theoretical foundation for research represents a significant milestone not just in this course, but also in your growth as a doctoral student and a nurse scientist. Whether you retain your focus on your selected phenomenon or adjust your plans as you move forward, you will be able to build on the skills you have honed in this course to develop your program of research in the future.

To prepare

• Ensure that your paper addresses the following:
  • Your phenomenon of interest
  • Concepts (definitions, attributes, antecedents, and consequences)
  • Conceptual relationships
  • Assumptions
  • How an existing framework or theory could inform your work. (Explain how the framework/theory originated and what modifications you may need to make for it to be useful for your research.)
  • Research questions or hypotheses
  • Graphic model and narrative, as necessary, to support the model

Note: Please include your graphic model and narrative within the paper you submit.

Final Paper (due week 10 Sunday, November 8th) (called Assignment 1 again) (8-12 pages not including the title page or references – don’t worry about page limit – write and write succinctly)

Parts:

• Title page
• Introduction
• Phenomenon of interest
• Concept including definition, some ROL, antecedents, defining attributes, and consequences (you must have at least 2 citations for each defining attribute – if possible include a table starting with antecedents, then attributes, and finally consequences so you can see the flow)
• Relationships about concepts – antecedents and concept, antecedents and consequences (maybe), concept and consequences; concept and another concept (similar or opposite – hope and hopelessness, quality of life and well-being, etc.), direction of relationships – one direction or two, positive or negative; any other related concepts and their relationship with your concept (pull in text)
• you do NOT Have to include the model case and another case but if you want to you can but make sure you call out all the defining attributes in the model case and if you use a borderline case, talk about which defining attribute is missing – you can make up the case study and focus on your context (POI); you do NOT have to include empirical referents but if you want to, do so
• Assumptions (remember to keep them general)
• Theory or conceptual framework
• Research questions and/or hypotheses (research questions about concept and antecedents, concept and consequences, concept and other concepts or factors, one big global question) (remember to include the population of study and context)
• Graphic with a brief explanation of the graphic (make sure you have antecedents, defining attributes, and consequences as well as the theory – it is about the CONCEPT)
• Summary
• References (separate pages)

Informatics in the Clinical Setting

Conduct an interview with someone in an informatics role in a clinical setting. Then, in a Microsoft Word document of 5-6 pages formatted in APA style, discuss each of the following criteria:

• Role description and education level required for the role.
• Describe their views on how their role affects patient safety and improves the quality of patient care.
• Describe the human factors faced in the role and other challenges.
• Express insights gained from the interview.
• Research and discuss the impact of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicators and The Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals in your clinical setting. Describe how these governing agencies influence delivery of direct patient care.
• Research, discuss, and identify the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) utilized in your clinical setting. Be sure to get the perspective of your selected informatics professional during your interview.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.

The purpose of this assignment is to draft and submit a comprehensive and complete rough draft of your Nursing Theory Comparison paper in APA format. Your rough draft should include all of the research paper elements of a final draft, which are listed below. This will give you an opportunity for feedback from your instructor before you submit your final draft during week 7.

Based on the reading assignment (McEwen & Wills, Theoretical Basis for Nursing, Unit II: Nursing Theories, chapters 6–9), select a grand nursing theory.

• After studying and analyzing the approved theory, write about this theory, including an overview of the theory and specific examples of how it could be applied in your own clinical setting. 

Based on the reading assignment (McEwen & Wills, Theoretical Basis for Nursing, Unit II: Nursing Theories, chapters 10 and 11), select a middle-range theory. 

• After studying and analyzing the approved theory, write about this theory, including an overview of the theory and specific examples of how it could be applied in your own clinical setting.

The following should be included:

1. An introduction, including an overview of both selected nursing theories
2. Background of the theories
3. Philosophical underpinnings of the theories
4. Major assumptions, concepts, and relationships
5. Clinical applications/usefulness/value to extending nursing science testability
6. Comparison of the use of both theories in nursing practice
7. Specific examples of how both theories could be applied in your specific clinical setting
8. Parsimony
9. Conclusion/summary
10. References: Use the course text and a minimum of three additional sources, listed in APA format

The paper should be 8–10 pages long and based on instructor-approved theories. It should be typed in Times New Roman with 12-point font, and double-spaced with 1″ margins. APA format must be used, including a properly formatted cover page, in-text citations, and a reference list. The proper use of headings in APA format is also required.

1. Please find a randomized trial you would like to use for the article critique assignment. Make sure it is from a nursing journal and is not older than five years. 
2. Read the “The Three-Minute Appraisal of a Randomized Trial” article.
3. Evaluate the following:
   1. What is the key criteria for evaluating an RTC?
   2. Are the results of the trial valid?  Were the subjects randomized?
   3. What about the experimental and control group?  How were they allocated?  Did they look like each other?  What about the variables?  Did the group look the same?
   4. What were the results of the trial?  How were the results of the trial being measured?  What statistical measures were used?  Was the results significant?  Was the hypothesis accepted or rejected by the authors?
   5. Are the results applicable to clinical practice?  Are the results feasible?

TOPIC: Measuring Morbidity: Prevalence and Incidence

Please use ONLY the ATTACHED table to complete the assignment

Read the scenario below and complete the assignment as instructed.

Scenario

In Community X (population 20,000), an epidemiologist conducted a prevalence survey in January of 2012 and reported an HIV prevalence of 2.2%. Over the next 12 months, the department of health reported an additional 50 new HIV cases between February 2012 and January 2013. The total population stayed constant at 20,000.

Part 1

1. How many people had HIV in January 2012? Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer.
2. Calculate the incidence rate assuming no HIV-related deaths over the 12-month period. Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer. Be sure to clearly indicate the numerator and      denominator used in your calculation and include an appropriate label for the rate.

In a summary of 200-250 words, interpret the results and discuss the relationship between incidence and prevalence. Discuss whether or not the epidemiologist should be concerned about these new HIV infections, assuming a previous incidence rate of 0.5 per 1,000 person-years prior to this updated risk assessment.

Part 2

A rapid test used for diagnosing HIV has a sensitivity of 99.1% and a specificity of 90%. Based on the population prevalence of 2.2% in 2012, create a 2×2 table showing the number of true positives, false positives, false negatives, and true negatives. Calculate the positive predicative value and negative predictive value for this test. Refer to the “Creating a 2×2 Contingency Table” resource for guidance.

In 200-250 words, discuss whether or not the epidemiologist should recommend this test as part of a universal HIV screening program. Provide rationale for your recommendation applying the positive and negative predictive values. Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer.
