How does the community health nurse recognize bias, stereotypes, and implicit bias within the community? How should the nurse address these concepts to ensure health promotion activities are culturally competent

/in /by

 

How does the community health nurse recognize bias, stereotypes, and implicit bias within the community?

It may be difficult for nurses to accept that they might be biased against any of their patients, however, it happens, and accepting it and then continually reassessing how they feel and how their approach works are the best approach to correcting implicit bias. A latent human tendency is an implicit bias that therefore interferes with best nursing practices. Recognizing an inherent bias implies recognizing that one might have certain emotions towards a particular population, the presence of an individual or community, or mannerisms that need to be discussed and dealt with in order to provide the best possible treatment.

How should the nurse address these concepts to ensure health promotion activities are culturally competent?

The following are some of the ways the nurses can address the concepts of bias, stereotypes, and implicit bias to ensure that health promotion activities are culturally competent;

  1. Noticing their assumptions-Anything from language differences to work status to regional inflections may lead individuals to conclude that a patient has certain attributes, attitudes, or values with which one might not agree. When trying to describe therapies to a patient, when listening to their wishes, or when working with an extended and active family, it is important to notice the assumptions that might be made.
  2. Knowing the patients- A good way to learn more about them is to speak with your patients. Understanding cultural differences will also assist one to become mindful of and begin to resolve any implicit bias.
  3. Talking about implicit bias in the work setting also opens the conversation, removes the taboo, and paves the way for better patient care and outcomes.
  4. Nurses should also understand the assumptions that trigger in them- A patient’s race, accent, clothing style, or appearance can spark an instant judgment in nurses, therefore, understanding this aspect will help recognize the bias.

Propose strategies that you can employ to reduce cultural dissonance and bias to deliver culturally competent care.

The following are some of the strategies that can be employed to eliminate cultural dissonance and bias to deliver culturally competent care;

  1. Acknowledgment- With acknowledgment comes to the acceptance of responsibility and accountability to make a difference. By facilitating reactions to promote supportive attitudes, such as empathy, nurses and other healthcare professionals must shift to suppress implicit bias.
  2. Advocacy- Nurses’ advocacy will help patients in the face of implicit bias to receive the individualized care they need. To serve the needs of patients, nurses must advocate for patients with tact, compassion, and professionalism, and connect and interact with other members of the healthcare team.
  3. Education- To raise awareness, acknowledge the presence of implicit bias, and reduce its prevalence, enhanced knowledge is essential. For healthcare professionals and nurses, education may be applied in standardized curricula.
  4. Personal awareness- This is the process of inward reflection to accept biases and ideals that can contribute to implicit bias. An internal compass that is used to direct everyday interactions needs gaining personal knowledge. In the face of the constant challenge of implicit bias, this compass will help nurses distinguish acceptable and inappropriate attitudes and actions and remain on the right path.

Using 200-300 APA format with references in supporting the discussion.  Propose strategies that you can employ to reduce cultural dissonance and bias to deliver culturally competent care. Include an evidence-based article that address the cultural issue 

research study proposal

/in /by

Using the definitions above, write some research questions that pertain to your research study proposal. 

How does family support impact one experiencing psychosis while incarcerated?

Imagine you are creating a questionnaire and these are questions you would ask your subjects. If you have trouble shaping the questions to your proposal, then just write a question that fulfills that level of measurement. 

  1. Write one question that seeks an answer at the nominal level of measurement.  Provide the response categories.
  2. Write one question that seeks an answer at the ordinal level of measurement. Write the response categories.
  3. Write one question that seeks an answer at the interval level of measurement. Explain what scale you will use.
  4. Write one question that seeks an answer at the ratio level of measurement.
  5. Write 3 other questions.  Specify the level of measurement of each answer.

This week’s discussion board will focus on data. Data can be measured at different levels:

  • A NOMINAL level of measurement is categorical data that cannot be ranked in any way.  Examples:  countries of origin, party affiliation.
  • An ORDINAL level of measurement is categorical data that can be ranked in some way.  Example:  child, teen, adult
  • An INTERVAL level of measurement includes numerical data that has no true zero.  Example:  temperature or “on a scale of 1 to 10….”
  • A RATIO level of measure includes numerical data that has a true zero and can be used to measure the distance from one item to the next.  Example:  items that use time or weight

Infographics are visual representations of information. They can include numbers, text, images, or any combination of the three. Just as in traditional writing assignments, infographics  can take on any of the various rhetorical modes — informative, instructive, descriptive, persuasive, etc. Infographics provide a quick way to convey a lot of information. For example, this infographic from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners conveys data related to NPs  much more concisely than another paragraph inserted here could have (https://www.aanp.org/all-about-nps/what-is-an-np-2):

Students will create an Infographic on the topic of Advanced Practice Nursing. You will create an infographic that is easily understood by the lay public or general population. The infographic should provide information useful to communicating the “What, Why, When and How” of APN.

  1. Student will select a platform (tool) for building their infographics. There are plenty of great infographic platforms out there. Most are free, but may require that you do set up an account. Check out Infogr.am, Easelly, Piktochart, and Visme.
  2. Create the Infographic using one of the above platforms.
  3. Post completed infographic in PDF format
  4. Students are not required to purchase a membership to any third party sites. If you cannot download a PDF without purchase, please submit a screenshot(s) of your final product for grading.
