Question Description

I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and need an explanation.

 

Over the past several decades, education, medical advances, and public health efforts have tempered the public image of HIV/AIDS. Despite these efforts, patients with HIV/AIDS continue to experience stigma and discrimination, which may negatively affect a patient’s mental health status. The stigma impedes patients from seeking HIV tests, particularly in certain ethnic and racial groups. Reducing the stigma and discrimination of HIV/AIDS is one of many roles carried out by HIV/AIDS social workers.

The advent and availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 1996 changed the course of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. ART is not a cure for HIV or AIDS. It is a medication regimen that controls the level of HIV virus in the blood, leading to prolonged life expectancy and improved quality of life for patients with HIV/AIDS. It is often difficult for patients to accept and comprehend that ART is a lifelong treatment that must be taken on a strict schedule. Deviations from treatment schedules often lead to detrimental consequences. Medical social workers play an integral role in supporting patients with HIV/AIDS on ART.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review this week’s resources. Consider stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS. Think about the negative effects of stigma and discrimination, including the psychological burdens that create formidable obstacles to effective HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.

BY DAY 3

Post an explanation of factors causing stigma and discrimination in patients with HIV/AIDS. Then, describe the impact of stigma and discrimination on the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and patients’ psychosocial profiles. Explain the propensity of excessive stigma and discrimination in certain ethnic and racial groups. Provide examples to illustrate your response. Focus on the NASW Code of Ethics, and explain ways you might address stigma and discrimination while providing HIV/AIDS education and preventive services.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources and the current literature using appropriate APA format and style.

: Factorial Analysis of Variance in SPSS

/in /by

Help me study for my Psychology class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

 

Part 1: Factorial Analysis of Variance in SPSS

Practice using factorial  ANOVA models with SPSS and, ideally, used the Collaboration Lab to ask,  answer, and otherwise address any questions you had. In this  Assignment, you apply what you learned to answer a social research  question using factorial ANOVA.

To prepare

  • Review the datasets provided.
  • Construct a research question with social change implications based on one of those datasets.
  • Be sure to focus on the assumptions of this test and ask yourself,  “Does it make sense to interpret the mean of this dependent variable?”
  • Remember that you will need categorical predictor variables.

BY DAY 7

The Assignment

Use SPSS to answer the research question you  constructed. Write an analysis in APA format, including title page,  references, and an appendix, that includes your data output and  addresses each of the tasks listed below. The content should be 2–3  pages, including setup of the assignment, results, and interpretation of  results. Your SPSS output should be included as an appendix.

  1. What is the null hypothesis for your question?
  2. What research design(s) would align with this question?
  3. What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
  4. What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
  5. If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?
  6. What is the answer to your research question?
  7. What are the possible implications of social change?

Early in your Assignment, when you relate which  dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following  variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean  of Q1 (Age). If you are using the General Social Survey Dataset, report  the mean of Age. If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the  mean of X1SES. See pages 533 and 534 in your Warner textbook for an  excellent APA-compliant write-up of a factorial analysis of variance.

Part 2: Article Critique

The practice of quantitative research not only  involves statistical calculations and formulas but also involves the  understanding of statistical techniques related to real-world  applications. You might not become a quantitative researcher nor use  statistical methods in your profession but as a consumer, citizen, and  scholar-practitioner, it will be important for you to become a critical  consumer of research, which will empower you to read, interpret, and  evaluate the strength of claims made in scholarly material and daily  news.

For this Assignment, you will critically evaluate a scholarly article related to factorial ANOVA.

To prepare 

  • Review the Article Critique Assignment Guide in the Walden Library, listed in the Week 2 Learning Resources.
  • Search the Walden Library for a quantitative article that applies  factorial analysis of variance. Note that sometimes these are referred  to as “two-way ANOVAs.”

BY DAY 7

The Assignment

Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the research you found in the Walden Library that includes responses to the following prompts:

  • Why did the authors select factorial ANOVA in the research?
  • Do you think this test was the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
  • Did the authors display the results in a figure or table?
  • Does the results table stand alone? In other words, are you able to interpret the study from it? Why or why not?

 

consider a thesis statement of “addiction has both a biologival and social component” then your headings can be “biologial factors” and “social factors” adn then you can organize them by heading within those sections further.

I’m studying for my Psychology class and need an explanation.

Please use my exact essay attached below, and revise it based on this feedback left by my teacher:

Please make the following changes for the final draft:

1. Add more headings to help organize your paper

2. Instead of arguing both side separately, consider a thesis statement of “addiction has both a biologival and social component” then your headings can be “biologial factors” and “social factors” adn then you can organize them by heading within those sections further.

failure to make the aforementioned revisions will result in point deductions for my final paper.

First Person Account of Psychological Diagnoses Reflection Paper

/in /by

I don’t understand this Psychology question and need help to study.

 

This application assignment is intended to give you an opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of a particular psychological diagnosis. First, you will examine that psychological disorder through the lens of one person’s real life experiences by selecting and reading one of the following first person essays. Each of these essays provides a firsthand account of the author’s experiences with a mental health diagnosis. You should select an essay that is of interest to you and one that provides you with an opportunity to learn about experiences that might be different from your own personal experiences, such as from an author who has different experiences than you based on their diagnosis, their gender, culture, social or geographic background, etc. After reading the essay, you will embark on your own research of this psychological disorder by using three sources: 1. your textbook, 2. NIMH website information, and 3. one other scholarly source of your choosing (see note below). Using all these resources, you will answer the following questions (A thru C below) in well-written paragraphs.

To submit this assignment: Create a word document with your written answers (labeled A-D as below) and upload your file (type doc or docx). Your final document should be 3-5 full paragraphs and not be longer than 2 pages.

LINKS TO ESSAYS:

These essays are selected from the book: LeCroy, C.W., & Holschuh, J. (2012). First person accounts of mental illness and recovery. John Wiley & Sons.

(you will find the essays in the 5 files)

WRITTEN ANSWER QUESTIONS:

[IMPORTANT: Please be sure to label/title your document with the name of the essay you chose]

A. Summary and reflection on the essay [4 pts] : Write 1-2 paragraph(s) that provides a brief summary of the essay you read, including a description of the author’s experiences with the psychological diagnosis they describe. Be sure that you describe the following:

        1. [1 pt] What diagnosis & symptoms does the author describe in their essay?
        2. [1 pt] What do you think is the author’s primary goal, or take-home message, for the reader?
        3. [1 pt] What are your observations about the developmental aspects of this essay? Describe at least one aspect of the person’s story that relates to an important aspect of developmental psychology. For instance, discuss how you think their experiences relate to their particular stage of life, how their experiences link to their experiences with parenting, their cognitive development, etc.
        4. [1 pt] Describe at least one aspect of the person’s experiences that reflects important social and/or cultural factors. Be specific about what social/cultural factors are important in this person’s story. Be careful not to make superficial assumptions or base your observations on cultural stereotypes or generalizations – reflect thoughtfully on this person’s own words. How do they describe their social and/or their cultural world? How do these influences shape the author’s experiences and their story.

B. Understanding the diagnosis. [7 pts] Develop 1-2 well-written paragraphs that provide the following descriptive and factual information about the diagnosis:

1. Description and symptoms 3pts– provide a summary/overview of the main features of this condition, including the key symptoms that are part of the diagnosis.

2. [2 pts] Describe basic prevalence information and statistical information/facts about the diagnosis. How common is this diagnosis in the US population? Provide at least 2 other facts about the diagnosis based on your research.

3. {1 pt} Causes and risk factors – write 1-2 sentences about what the known causes or risk factors are for this condition.

4. [1 pt] Treatment – write 1-2 sentences about what types of treatment are considered effective for this condition.

C. Your Personal observations/reflections [5 pts]. Write 1 paragraph describing your own observations, thoughts, and reflections about this story. You have a wide range of angles you can take – I just want to see you write a thoughtful and well written paragraph explaining what you took away from this essay and this assignment. For instance: What did you learn that you did not know previously? What questions did this essay/assignment spark for you? What aspects of this story can you relate to other experiences you have had or other courses you are taking? Did this essay relate to your future career goals? How? Etc.

D. List of References. Make sure you list your 3 sources and proofread your paper. You will also be graded on the quality of your citations [2 pt] and the quality of your writing [2 pt]. Note on your sources: You are to use three reputable, scholarly sources for this assignment. One source should be your course textbook, the second source should be the website of the National Institute of Mental Health. (side note: If you are not already familiar with what the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is/does, then I urge you to read about this important scientific organization). There is a lot of information throughout the NIMH website but you will especially want to look under “brochures and fact sheets” and “statistics” sections ( see https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/index.shtml (Links to an external site.)). For your third source, you should find a scholarly, scientific article on the diagnosis by conducting a search using a reputable scientific database. I suggest you use “google scholar” or the UMKC library database for “PubMed” or “Psychinfo” to conduct your search). You may use any scholarly format for listing your references (such as APA or MLA style).

You can find the “PubMed” and “PsychInfo” databases through UMKC by following this link and scrolling to the appropriate database: https://libguides.library.umkc.edu/az.php?a=p
