Broad Topic Area
The efficacy of 19znf based on quantitative methods of measurement
p. 1-2
Lit Review
The literature review explores the background and history of the problem, discusses theoretical foundations and conceptual frameworks, and reviews relevant NF models. It identifies a need for an expanded theoretical/conceptual section
pp. 24+
Problem Statement
It is not known, by way of statistical evaluation of either clinical assessments or QEEG z-scores, if 19ZNF is an effective NF technique.
p. 62
Research Questions
R1a. Does 19ZNF improve attention as measured by the IVA assessment?
R1b. Does 19ZNF improve behavior as measured by the DSMD assessment?
R1c. Does 19ZNF improve executive function as measured by the BRIEF assessment?
R2. Does 19ZNF improve electrocortical function as measured by QEEG zscores such that the post z-scores are closer to the mean than pre z-scores?
p. 63
Sample
21 participants: cases which met the inclusion criteria of being a 19ZNF case, having both a pre and post QEEG assessment, as well as either an IVA, or a DSMD, or a BRIEF assessment, for both pre and post conditions.
p. 68
Describe Phenomena (qualitative) or Define Variables/Hypotheses (quantitative)
The instrument to measure attention was the IVA continuous performance test. Ha1a: The post scores will be higher than the pre scores for the IVA assessment.
The instrument to measure behavior was the DSMD. Ha1b: The post scores will be lower than the pre scores for the DSMD assessment.
The instrument to measure executive function was the BRIEF.
Ha1c: The post scores will be lower than the pre scores for the BRIEF assessment.
The instrument to measure the QEEG z-scores. Ha2: The post z-scores will be closer to the mean than the pre z-scores.
pp. 63-65
Methodology & Design
Quantitative, quasi-experimental research used a retrospective, one-group pretest-posttest design.
p. 66
Purpose Statement
To evaluate 19ZNF, in a clinical setting, using a retrospective one-group pretest-posttest research design.
p. 86
Data Collection Approach
gathering archived de-identified data, from closed case files, of a NF private practice. The process consisted of collecting the necessary data elements (i.e. subject demographics, assessment scales scores, and z-scores) into spreadsheets, for further analysis by statistical software (SPSS).
p. 63
Data Analysis Approach
Descriptive statistics on each of the sample groups; the means for the pre, post, and difference scores were also calculated, using t-tests.
pp. 79-81
Evaluation (Maximum 250-500 words)
The key points in the literature review focused on the background and history of NF, the theoretical foundations and conceptual frameworks for NF, and relevant NF models. It identified a need for an expanded theoretical/conceptual section and thus set the stage for 19znf. The variables under study consisted of: IVA, DSMD, BRIEF, QEEG z-scores. The problem focused on in this study was that it was not known, by way of statistical evaluation of either clinical...
…abilities such as instincts and intuition. Children demonstrate these instincts and intuition all the time, yet simultaneously they represent themselves as blank slates that indicate the extent to which children require instruction and guidance. The reconciliation is as self-evident in children as 1=1.Innate abilities may be understood as forms of Socrates expressed it long ago in ancient Greece. Socrates believed that all knowledge and truth was written on the soul and that all learning undergone in life was the act of recollectioni.e., the act of remembering the knowledge of truth that was already written on the soul (Plato, 2010). Indeed, Plato states: Plato states that a man must have intelligence of universals, and be able to proceed from the many particulars of sense to one conception of reason;--this is the recollection of those things which our soul once saw while following Godwhen regardless of that which we now call being she raised her head up towards the true being (417-418). This does not invalidate Lockes argument for both may be said to have something of the truth in them, but the limitations of Lockes argumentnamely that it does not account for intuition and instinctsuggest that while there may be a tabula rasa of sorts in the human being, there may also be what Socrates identifies as essentially a pre-coded…
Theoretical Foundations of Nursing: Nursing can be described as a science and practice that enlarges adaptive capabilities and improves the transformation of an individual and the environment. This profession focuses on promoting health, improving the quality of life, and facilitating dying with dignity. The nursing profession has certain theoretical foundations that govern the nurses in promoting adaptation for individuals and groups. These theoretical foundations include theories, theory integration, reflection, research and
Theoretical foundation explored within this article is that there is a real relationship that exists between psychotherapists and clients, and that this relationship profoundly affects the outcome of the sessions (Gelso et al., 2012, p. 495). This relationship is couched with other working relationships between the therapist and the client. Moreover, the real relationship can be analyzed from the perspective of both the client and the therapist, so that it
Theoretical Foundations for Nursing Roles and Practice Nurses interview guideline It is imperative to have specific markers that will aid in executing an interview for an applicant wishing to be employed as a nurse. This will aid in getting the right person for the job, such that the individual will perform above and beyond the duties assigned to him/her. Education competency is the most vital marker, which should be supplemented by other
leading and managing together, or mixing them into a "super-person" profile? According to Hewitt (2015), there is a delicate balance between management and politics, and that the two are intertwined to succeed. The author points out that management and leadership must be intertwined and balanced if there is to be hope for success, innovation, opportunity and growth. There are various approaches to the issues relating to management and leadership. According
Culture of Interest: Japan Theoretical foundations of cultural and cross-cultural analysis: Japan and America Japan: Mildly collectivist culture American culture American: An individualistic culture Similarities and differences in Japanese and U.S. culture Potential biases of researcher Appendix I- Hofstede four Dimensional Theory Edward Tylor (1832-1917) defines culture as a collection of customs, laws, morals, knowledge, and symbols displayed by a society and its constituting members. Culture is form of collective expression by groups of people. Since the dawn
diverse population nurses must attend to, the concept of 'transcultural' nursing is important to understand. Instead of viewing health as a universal concept, transcultural nursing attempts to understand the conceptual building blocks of the nursing profession as cultural products that are socially-constructed. It strives to understand the similarities and differences between different health attitudes and practices (Leininger 1991). First developed by Madeline Leininger, transcultural nursing is founded upon the
