Factor Responsible for Poor Utilization of Mental Health Services in Texas 

/in /by

Need 350 words total

The product of a doctoral degree is a completed and defended dissertation. To begin developing the dissertation, scholars go to the literature, synthesize the information found there, and build arguments that support the need for a study. The literature, then, is the foundational building block of the dissertation. In this assignment, you will analyze and synthesize the contents of several empirical articles to arrive at and defend a potential topic for your dissertation. Please note that this potential topic will be refined through the iterative dissertation development process as additional scholarly literature is identified, read, and synthesized and the study honed to a manageable scope.

General Requirements: Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments.

· Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. The manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.

· This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.

· You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Directions:

Dissertation Topic: Factor Responsible for Poor Utilization of Mental Health Services in Texas Locate four peer reviewed, empirical articles related to the potential broad topic area of your dissertation. Remember, your topic area must align with your degree program. Select only articles that have been published within the last 2-3 years and that could logically be included in the literature review of your dissertation.

Write a brief description of the articles (300-350 words total) that includes the following information for each article:

1. A statement of what the authors studied.

2. A statement that generally describes the study participants.

3. A description of the study findings.

4. A statement of one limitation or future study idea identified in the article.

Write an argument (250-500 words) that presents a potential study topic for your dissertation and defends the need for the potential study. The topic must emerge from a synthesis of the limitations or future study ideas you identified above, and the argument must describe how the potential study might address the synthesized limitations or future study ideas.

Respond to this discussion APA cite 200 words

The topic I chose to discuss in my Capstone project is the different career positions that are available after obtaining a degree in health care management. I chose this topic for several reasons. First of all, it will be easy for me to extend my main paragraphs into 15 pages long because there is so much to discuss. There has been so many different careers mentioned and discussed in health care management throughout the past two years that I have been enrolled in this Bachelor’s program. As a result, I have several notes and books related to my topic that will help me successfully complete this project. The way that this topic is related to the field of health care administration is obvious. Health care administration is such a broad field and many positions are required in it. I will use the process of strategic planning to analyze the issue in health care administration and health care management by first making an outline of my topic and creating subtopics with numbered details. I will begin my paper by talking about the importance of the health care management field and why the demand for careers in the health care management field is so important. Then, I will proceed with pages on different health care positions and why those positions are important. I will conclude my paper with a list of every position that was mentioned throughout the body of my paper with a short main idea on each one and the reason for choosing my topic. I will use several references throughout my paper that will include books, statistics with and without graphs, and several online resources. I hope my topic sounds acceptable and I wish everyone the best of luck!

iew the TED Talk “Depression, the Secret We Share” (TED Conferences, LLC, 2013) and compare the description of Andrew Solomon’s symptoms to the criteria for depressive disorders in the DSM-5

/in /by

What is it truly like to have a mental illness? By considering clients’ lived experiences, a social worker becomes more empathetic and therefore better equipped to treat them. In this Discussion, you analyze a case study focused on a depressive disorder or bipolar disorder using the steps of differential diagnosis.

To prepare:View the TED Talk “Depression, the Secret We Share” (TED Conferences, LLC, 2013) and compare the description of Andrew Solomon’s symptoms to the criteria for depressive disorders in the DSM-5. Next review the steps in diagnosis detailed in the Morrison (2014) reading, and then read the case provided by your instructor for this week’s Discussion, considering the client against the various DSM-5 criteria for depressive disorders and bipolar disorders.

Post a 300- to 500-word response in which you address the following:

  1. Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis for the client. For any diagnosis that you choose, be sure to concisely explain how the client fits that diagnostic criteria. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, medical needs, and the Z codes (other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention). Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months.
  2. Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.
  3. Recommend a specific evidence-based measurement instrument to validate the diagnosis and assess outcomes of treatment.
  4. Describe your treatment recommendations, including the type of treatment modality and whether or not you would refer the client to a medical provider for psychotropic medications.

argument for or against the use of single-sex classrooms.

Discussion: Single-Sex Classrooms

Many research studies suggest that male brains are different than female brains and that boys learn differently than girls. There even is evidence to suggest that at a young age, girls hear better than boys. This may significantly impact learning, especially when boys and girls are in the same classrooms. In addition to very real (though not always present) brain and learning differences, there are stereotypes about differences in the cognitive ability of boys and girls. And as seen in previous weeks, stereotyping can lead to behavioral differences on the part of both learners and teachers.

The preceding issues relate to a topic of importance and debate in education today: the very structure of the educational experience. For example, should boys and girls be segregated in the classroom, acknowledging brain and learning differences? Or, does gender segregation only reinforce the historical stereotypes about the differences in cognitive abilities between males and females? There is significant evidence for both sides of the argument.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review Chapter 11 in the course text,Gender: Psychological Perspectives. Focus on the gender-related differences and similarities in issues related to school, education, and careers.
  • Review the research information (use the Research tab) found on the National Association for Single Sex Public Education website. Focus on the information related to use of gender differences from a psychological and biological basis but also look at related societal issues.
  • Review the article, “Science Faculty’s Subtle Gender Biases Favor Male Students.”
  • Consider how being educated in same-sex classrooms might affect the learner in the present, as well as in the future, educationally, psychologically, and socially. Also think about the impact there might be on society as a whole if everyone was educated in same-sex classrooms.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Postan argument for or against the use of single-sex classrooms. Justify your position. Consider the effect on individual learners (educationally, psychologically, and socially—in the present and in the future of the individual), as well as the effect on society. Consider schooling at all levels: elementary, middle school, high school, and college. If your last name begins with A–M, take the “For Single-Sex Classroom” side. If your name begins with N–Z, take the “Against Single-Sex Classroom” side.

Schizophrenia Over Time: Experiences Living With the Illness

/in /by

Experiences of schizophrenia are not homogeneous; there is wide variety in onset, course of illness, and combinations of symptoms. Social workers need to be able to understand the different manifestations and pathways of the illness to plan interventions. Social work services play a key role in stabilizing crises, supporting family coping, and influencing overall quality of life and outcomes of individuals with schizophrenia. In this Assignment, you practice applying this necessary individualization.

To prepare: In the Learning Resources, focus on the associated features, development, and course of the illnesses in the schizophrenia spectrum. Also focus on descriptions of the disorder and the way it develops for different individuals.

Choose two articles from the list in the Learning Resources that apply to treatment support and interventions for the schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders chapter in the DSM 5. Choose either Saks or McGough to focus on for this as

Submita 3- to 4-page paper, supported by at least4 scholarly resources (not including DSM-5), in which you address the following:

  1. Describe Saks’s or McGough’s experiences with schizophrenia. Identifyonset, associated features (specifically referencing the positive and negative symptoms), development, and course.
  2. Explain how you would use the Clinician Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity measure and the WHODAS to help confirm your diagnosis.
  3. Explain how you would plan treatment and individualize it for Saks or McGough. Support your response with references to scholarly resources. In your explanation, consider the following questions:
  4. What are the long-term challenges for someone living with the illness?
  5. What social, family, vocational, and medical supports are needed for long-term stabilization?
  6. Briefly explain how race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, or other identity characteristics may influence an individual’s experience with schizophrenia.

nature of military families including the non-normative stressors that a military family may face.

/in /by

The Department of Defense (DoD) defines a military family as a spouse, child, and any other dependent who meets the legal definition of family. Those who qualify as legal dependents are eligible for military benefits, but this does not preclude the importance of other significant relationships or extended family members. Military families often face the same challenges as non-military families—from raising children and managing finances to caring for extended family members. In addition, military families face challenging situations that are unique due to the roles and responsibilities of military personnel, and these situations affect the service members’ relationships with their families.

Families of military personnel are immersed in military culture. Family members engage in and adhere to military culture’s norms, behaviors, and language just as much as military personnel. Military families are connected in many ways, and military culture can promote resilience among these families.

Understanding how elements of military culture can help promote resilience is critical knowledge in your role as a helping professional working with military families.

For this Discussion, you discuss the nature of military families including the non-normative stressors that a military family may face. You also address protective factors in military culture that support resiliency.

Post one word that you might use to describe military families and explain why this word is a good descriptor.

Then, identify one non-normative stressor that military families may experience (excluding PCS/deployment).

Describe one way this stressor impacts the family unit, the marital/significant other relationship, and relationships with extended families.

Finally, explain one way that military culture supports resiliency. Support your response with the current literature and/or the resources.

Be sure to support your post with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your

references.
