Use the job analysis you conducted in Week 2, and determine the appropriate design for the position.

Analyze the various elements required for creating a job description for the specific position.

Create a job description that includes the information defined in the job analysis.

Provide a rationale for the chosen design.

Explain the purpose and importance of each section within the job design.

Support your reasoning with credible resources.

6 DISCUSSION POST DUE NLT 6PM EST SATURDAY 3 October

1.    Sexually transmitted diseases are more prevalent among older adults than most people realize. How might this be related to societal attitudes toward sexuality in later life? 2.    A 79-year-old bisexual woman recently moved into an assisted living facility after her partner died. Discuss some issues she might face related to her social and sexual needs, and how you might help people in her situation.3.    List at least three common misconceptions or stereotypes about how older adults express their sexuality, then elaborate on the more nuanced reality surrounding those misconceptions.1.Visit   the   “Sexuality   in   Later   Life”   page   of   the   National   Institute   on   Aging   website (https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/sexuality-later-life)  to  learn  about  sexual  problems  related  to illness, disability, medicine, and surgery. Select four issues that may affect older adults’ ability to have and enjoy sex and describe ways they may be able to manage or overcome them.

Research studies often compare variables, conditions, times, and/or groups of participants to evaluate relationships between variables or differences between groups or times. For example, if researchers are interested in knowing whether an intervention produces change in the desired direction, they will want to know whether the change is due to chance (statistical significance) or possibly due to the intervention. In this case, researchers could use a pre and post measurement of the same participants on the condition being treated, or they could compare a group of individuals who receive the intervention to a group that does not receive the intervention. Researchers could also compare two groups of individuals who receive different interventions. The rigor of the research design helps control for other factors that might account for the changes (e.g., time, conditions, group differences in other factors, etc.). To prepare for this Discussion, consider the concept of statistical significance.

Post your explanation of how the difference between statistical significance and the true importance (clinical significance) of the relationship between variables or the degree of difference between groups affect your practice decision making. Be sure to include an explanation of what statistical significance means. Include an example from a quantitative study that found statistically significant differences. Discuss whether the results of the study would—or should—influence your practice as a social worker. Please use the resources to support your answer.
