To prepare for this section of the Course Project:

• Review the National Association of County and City Health Officials. (2016) article. Reflect on the legalities of advocacy work.
• Consider any legal or ethical barriers that your employment setting may have on your ability to implement your advocacy plan.
• Navigate some of the special interest group websites listed in the Learning Resources (e.g. ACT UP and American Cancer Society) and research some additional special interest groups that relate to your topic.
• Reflect on how you might use special interest groups in the community in your efforts to create public health policy change.
• Think about the potential social change implications of your advocacy efforts.

To complete this section of your Course Project, address the following:

• Explain any legal or ethical barriers that your past, current or future employment setting may have on your ability to implement your advocacy plan.
• Explain how you might use special interest groups to create public health policy change.
• Describe potential social change implications of your advocacy efforts.

This assignment requires you to choose and critically analyse an issue that you have identified as being important to you as a beginning registered nurse. Building upon your e-journal entries and readings, this assignment requires that you read further around your issue of interest and critically analyse the literature to consider the implications for your practice. This section of the assessment allows you to demonstrate that you are able to independently construct new understandings of the course content and demonstrate an ability to translate evidence based knowledge into practice. You will choose ONE e – journal entry from one of the six (6) weeks that you will analyse in more detail. You must choose a topic from your e-journal that relates to one of these entries. Using a scholarly approach you discuss the issue in detail and explain how this will help you begin to transition to professional practice.

Issues of retention and attrition underpin workforce supply and demand. What are some of the factors which may cause a registered nurse to stop practising in the health care industry?

 

Nurses who work in rural hospital remain in demand to stay in current profession as lack of staff working in the area, thus recruiting new staff and retaining current staff would be difficult as acknowledged by (Yates et al. 2011). Therefore, staff who work in the industry for a long period of time would have more skills than new staff member as this enable them to move from one ward to another. Senior nursing staff would undergo certain expectation from hospital they work and multitask at the same time in different department at workplace as acknowledged by (Yates et al. 2011). However, this has cause the numbers of senior nursing staff members to be stress due to job overload in the workforce as mention by (Yates et al. 2011). Lastly, nurses who dissatisfied with wages, shift work, also poor relationships between hospital and employees have the tendency to quit their job as acknowledged by (Ma et al. 2009).

 

A reflection paper is NOT a research paper.  You should use your own ideas to reflect upon the materials from the learning unit.  Use the information in the learning unit to do the following:

In this unit, we have covered a lot of historical, philosophical, and artistic ground.  Hobbes and Locke are concerned with government and seem to challenge each other’s view of human nature. Galileo challenges the (religious) ideas of his day and creates a new way of conceiving our relationship to the world.  Nietzsche and Barthes challenge the creation of meaning.

For this assignment, you need to imagine these thinkers in conversation with each other.  Choose two of the authors and write a dialogue for them. The authors can be discussing one of the selections from the Contemporary Connections section or you can choose another contemporary example of their ideas.  

You’ll need to write a summary of each author’s argument: What is their position and how do you know that’s what they would say?  This should be a three to four paragraph, densely packed statement for each author. (Six to eight paragraphs in total). Then, create a dialogue — just like in a play — where each author makes a claim that you imagine they would make based on the learning unit.  They can be arguing or agreeing. (It’s up to you).  There is one requirement, however. You may NOT use two authors from the same sub-unit.  So, if you choose Locke, you may not choose Hobbes: Nietzsche can’t be used with Barthes. And vice versa.

The goal of this assignment is to work with the course materials by using quotations from the learning unit and your own knowledge to create an understanding of the questions/prompt above. Be sure to put quoted materials in quotation marks. Using web or outside sources will result in a grade of 0.

There are two documents about this business research proposal

12 more pages would be great

 I took this class this tonight, and my professor said this paper should use the same topic with the Project I, SO I attached the “introduction” document which is my work and part 1 example and rubric. AND, The research question document is my topic. IN this business research proposal paper, my professor said you should find the independent and dependent variables. Therefore, you should design a hypothesis about this, so do not off topic.

Just a reminder, in the rubric, only need to do the Part Two. It’s a business research proposal paper. The rubric its same like the document that I posted in the last time. 

  

Business Research Proposals

A research proposal can serve a number of useful purposes during the research process. However, its basic function is to describe what will be done during the research process (and why it will be done). Research proposals are assessed to determine the likelihood that the research will be useable in the specific business decision making context.

An effective research proposal will report on the following phases of the research process: 

1) Introduction: The impetus for conducting the research.

2) Background: A discussion of the theories involved and the hypotheses developed

3) A detailed methodology: Exactly what will be done, by whom to generate the data used for analysis.

4) A specific analysis plan: How, quantitatively, will you know the answer to your research question?

5) Qualifications, timetable, and the budget.

The following sections provide a more detailed (but not exhaustive) explanation of these areas.

1. Introduction

This is a statement as to the underlying reasons that prompted the research. The researcher needs to provide the reader (client, professor) with some level of confidence that they understand the surrounding issues (e.g., the external and internal environmental contexts) that raise the question that is to be answered. That involves an explanation of what is expected to be learned, and why it is of importance (to the organization).

This section communicates why the research is being undertaken. It will focus around a problem statement and the resultant research objectives and research questions that are derived. It should answer the questions: “What is to be learned?” and “Why is it relevant?” It would also be important at this stage to identify the research to be conducted as exploratory, descriptive, or causal.

2) Background (Literature review)

A discussion of what is already known about the subject and any hypotheses that may have been developed. Depending upon the nature of the research questions asked, the researcher will need to describe their understanding of the theoretical (and practical) factors that contribute to the situation (above) that raises the research question. This will involve a general description of the variables that are believed to contribute to the issue. (Literature reviews are particularly helpful at this point.) 

A thorough discussion of the concepts, indicators, and variables developed should be presented here, along with any operational definitions. 

The theory described should lead to the specific hypotheses that are to be tested by the research. A hypothesis is an, as of yet, untested belief about the nature of the world. Business research hypotheses typically fall into two basic categories: 

a)  Statements about a specific characteristic of a population (or the differences between the same characteristic in more than one population) and 

b)  Statements about the relationships between two or more variables within a population.

Any hypotheses must be testable (through an analysis of quantifiable information). 

To be useful in research and analysis, there must be a good (e.g., logical or theoretical) reason to believe that the hypothesis is true. Otherwise, the research tends to be more prone to errors (typically Type I errors). Hypotheses must also be quantifiable and testable if they are to be used for drawing conclusions (i.e., if they are to be tested statistically). Each research question should suggest at least one hypothesis.

Here are some examples of business hypotheses (in plain language):

More than 75% of our customers comparison shop online before making a purchase through our website.

The average 401(K) contribution for programmers in our industry is less than $2,000 per year.

There is a statistically detectable relationship between the age of our customers and the amount of RAM they expect in the computers they purchase.

Fine dining restaurant customers (at our restaurant) would prefer a table with chairs but proximity to a fireplace over a booth with no view of a fireplace.

3) A detailed methodology

The most important section of any research proposal is the methodology section. It is here where the researcher identifies the specific steps that will be taken to collect the information needed to answer the research questions. 

Identify the type of research to be conducted: exploratory, descriptive and/or causal/experimental (and your logic for your decision).

The research design will:

a) Identify the type of research to be undertaken: exploratory, descriptive, and/or causal. 

b) Define the nature of the information to be collected,

c) Identify the population of interest, the sampling frame, and the sample from which the data will be collected,

d) Describe the instrument (e.g., questionnaire) to be used to collect the information (i.e., measure the variables) – including the scales to be used, 

e) Outline the fielding technique (the data collection method for administering the questionnaire), and 

f) Explicitly state any known shortcomings of the research design.

When causal/experimental studies are proposed, this section should also define the experimental design to be used to control threats to internal and external validity. For complex hypotheses, this section will also include a description of the method by which subjects will be assigned to the various experimental and control groups. 

An effective research design will ensure that the methodology can account for (identify and measure) the presence of any extraneous variables (e.g., threats to validity). 

4) A specific analysis plan

Since the hypothesis is an explicit, quantifiable statement and the nature (i.e. levels of measurement) of the data to be collected are known in advance, the statistical analysis may be determined in advance. As a result, the null hypothesis should be described along with the specific statistical test to be performed. This process should include the level of significance (i.e., alpha). 

The proposal should include a description of the procedures to be run and, where appropriate, the nature of the output (e.g., crosstabs) to be produced and delivered (e.g., crosstabs).

5) Qualifications, timetable & budget

The researcher should also a statement of the ability of the researcher to conduct the proposed research in a professional, objective manner. Clients would like some assurance that the researcher is aware of the potential pitfalls that are inherent in research situations.

The research proposal should also include a timeline indicating the times at which the various steps will be completed (questionnaire development, fielding, data analysis, and report writing).

Finally, the proposal should include the budget (fee) for the services to be performed.

The document you submit should be capable of being implemented based upon the information you have provided. That is, any reasonably competent researcher should be able to conduct the research you describe without (much) further reference.
