Forensic Psychology: How psychological, cultural and religious factors relate to aggressive behavior and the effect of their various justice systems in dealing with the label of criminality

– Students have performed a systematic review, where they searched literature, identified articles of interest, and extracted relevant data of interest. We are looking to have this written for a publication in the journal “PlosOne”.

– There is no standardization or guidelines on how systematic reviews of pharmacoeconomics studies are conducted. Different researchers perform this differently. The current study is to perform a systematic review of the pharmacoeconomics systematic reviews in the area of cancer as an example of one practice area where cost is particularly important. 

– The objective is to analyze the trends and patterns of how the pharmacoeconomics systematic reviews are conducted in literature in relation to designs and methodological aspects, and how data are aggregated and conclusions are made. What things are done similarly and what things are done differently? What are the observed limitations in such systematic reviews that affect the validity, quality of interpretation and generalizability of results? How future systematic reviews can be enhanced? Also, a quality assessment is performed.

“The economic imperative for quality is essentially quite simple – survival for the individual organisation and industries and ultimately the local, national and global economies….As consumers become more selective in their choices quality can no longer be considered as an optional extra but essential for any organisation in a saturated market-place.”

Beckford p.242 (2016)

Critique the validity of tools and techniques in successful TQM implementation using examples to illustrate your answer.

Assessment is as essential to family therapy as it is to individual therapy. Although families often present with one person identified as the “problem,” the assessment process will help you better understand family roles and determine whether the identified problem client is in fact the root of the family’s issues. As you examine the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat the client family.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Assess client families presenting for psychotherapy

To prepare:

Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on family assessment.

View the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos, and consider how you might assess the family in the case study.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On successful completion of this assignment you will be able to:

•Critically apply knowledge of anatomy and patho-physiology to maintain and

ensure the safety of patients undergoing surgical procedures.

•Synthesise the application of extended knowledge and skills and clinical decision making in all aspects of the role.

For this assignment you will need to carefully select a patient where it is anticipated you will undertake all the clinical skills i.e. assist for the procedure, apply direct diathermy, undertake closure and administer local infiltration to the wound site. You will need to choose at two or three skills to critically discuss in depth the application of your

knowledge and skill.

1. Discuss only any relevant patient related factors e.g. co-morbidity, age, allergies

which could impact on the patient’s perioperative care.

2. Critically review your Scope of Practice, boundaries and limitations in relation to

your role in general and specifically to your chosen patient. Don’t forget

informed consent.

3. Discuss your care for the patient applying and demonstrating your extended

knowledge and problem solving/decision making skills.

4. Evaluate your own practice in this case and any feedback received from your clinical

Supervisor

Points to include

•Provide a brief background of your role. What is an SCP? What is your role? How

does it differ from an SFA?

•Choose one patient

•Introduce the patient and provide any relevant information – that can impact on

their care e.g. diabetes

•Pre-op visit – informed consent. Do you consent? What does this involve?

Provide a brief discussion to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of

the importance of consent.

•Team brief & WHO checklist. What role do you take as the SCP?

•Brief discussion – positioning. What is your role and why?

•Prepping and draping. What role do you take and why?

•Discussion relating to anatomy involved in surgery – retraction – use of direct

diathermy (good critical discussion about this skill)

•If applicable administration LA – (good critical discussion about this skill)

•Wound closure choice of suture material, needle and technique – (good critical

discussion about this skill)

•Application of dressing

•Post-op visit

•Accountability – responsibility – scope of practice – boundaries –

•Use of most recent evidence based practice to support your critical discussion.

Some helpful tips

•When you discuss in your case study the skills that are part of your role as the

SCP e.g. pre-operative visiting rather than just describing that it was carried out,

discuss your role as the SCP briefly providing some critical analysis of it. Did you

put the patient at ease? What are the benefits for the patient?

•What is therefore required is some real meaty critical discussion around the new

skills you have developed e.g has it been easy? Has it been challenging? How

have you managed the situation? What was the rationale for your choice? What

impacted on your decision making at that time? These are just examples of some

of the questions you can ask yourself which will help to inform some critical

discussion

•Do not copy and paste any information from any previous essays as this will

show as plagiarism. This may be your own work but it is not good academic

practice.

•Your essay should be presented with a front sheet to be completed accurately

o Word count 4000 Size 12 Font Times New Roman or Arial Double lined

space

o Contain footers with your name and page numbers Use Edge Hill

Referencing system You can use sub headings

Assignment: Course Project, Part I – Identifying Stakeholders

Note: Please review the Course Project Overview in Week 1 before beginning this assignment.

For this assignment, you will identify people (positions) who are affected by or involved in the transfer enrollment process (stakeholders), their offices/departments within the university, and their roles/interests in the process*. In other words, “Who has a dog in the transfer fight?”

Use PowerPoint or the drawing function in Word to display the information graphically on slides or paper. Arrange stakeholder textboxes according to their level of authority on campus. The person/position with the highest level of authority will appear at the top of the slide or paper and the person/position with the lowest level of authority will appear at the bottom of the slide or paper. Boxes may be grouped at different levels in between (see diagram below).

For example, the provost will be affected by a change in transfer credit policy because the additional transfer students who enroll will progress through the institution more quickly (having received credit for major courses taken at other institutions). The provost is a high-ranking person at the university, so her box would appear close to the top of the slide or page.

The parking coordinator also may be affected by a change in transfer credit policy. More second- and third-year students mean more cars, and more cars mean more parking. The position of parking coordinator would appear closer to the bottom of the slide or page.

Each textbox should include the following information:

1. Stakeholder’s position (e.g., parking coordinator)

2. Office/department within university (e.g., physical plant)

3. Interest/role in process (e.g., additional transfer students will require additional parking spaces)
