...were used in training sessions over the course of 5 months, with eight one-day training sessions. The training sessions took place in Massachusetts. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Children's Bureau funded the project (Collins, Hill, Miranda, 2003, p. 43). The purpose of the training programs were to train group home workers in assisting foster care youth in the transition from care to independent living. The authors realized that there's very little attention paid to staff in group homes and training programs toward supervisors. "The training program was, therefore, designed with the assumptions that community-based group home staff members are fundamental to the preparation of youth for later independence," (Collins et al, 2008, p. 43). The training was in collaboration with a school of social work and public care welfare agency. The attendants include a total of 186 that were mainly group home supervisors and workers. Also in attendance were staff of Massachusetts Department of Social Services Adolescent Outreach Program (Collins et al, 2008, p. 44). The training sessions intentionally took in consideration the challenges of transition youth from care to independent living. Four main topics were covered during the training sessions; positive youth development, utilizing relational and task models in youth work, the use of transition planning framework, and building staff and program capacity (Collins et al, 2008, p. 45). Trainers made sure...

...hospital setting. These are surgical site infections, central line-associated bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (Nassof, 2009). Urinary tract infections comprise the highest percentage (Paterson, 2012). These infections usually are spread by the contaminated hands of healthcare providers or the patient’s family members. They are also caused by contaminated surfaces or hospital equipment that has not been properly cleaned (Nassof, 2009). The rate of exposure to infectious materials could be reduced if healthcare providers adhered to certain standard precautions such as hand hygiene. The proposal for this nursing research utilization project is to educate nurses on the importance of hand hygiene using evidence base protocol and how they can implement it in order to prevent nosocomial infections. Most if not all healthcare providers sometime in their career fail to wash their hands. Regardless of staff views on hand washing, research evidence-based studies confirm that hand washing is the most important way healthcare providers can prevent the spread of infection...

... How Master Therapists Work (2014) is to the field of psychotherapy and counseling. Both books tell us with vivid accuracy what key qualities separate the best of the best from simply being good at what you do. Len Sperry, MD, PhD, ABPP and Jon Carlson PsyD, EdD, ABPP. and their subject matter are of great interest to me. The subtitle captures the heart of the book’s content and the quintessence of what I want to learn more about, Effecting Change from the First through the Last Session and Beyond. I felt very inadequate as I began practicum concurrent with starting the MAPC program in August, 2013 (still do). Adding the privilege of doing practicum in a real clinic right from the start with real clients resulted in a high motivation to learn quickly in order to be effective and helpful. One of my supervisors at that clinic, in her first formal assessment of me wrote in response to the category/rating: uses theories appropriately: Rating 4 (out of 5) “but unknowingly” (Fountain, 2013. p.4). My interest in acquiring tools, techniques, and knowledge of the counseling process was and remains very high. This book is a means toward that end....

...Module 1 – Session Long Project Introduction to Probability Theory and Health Statistics Your specific assignment for this week is to select one type of quantitative health datum to collect from your own life. Some examples of data to collect could be: 1. How many minutes do you spend exercising each day? 2. What is your total daily caloric intake in calories? 3. What is your resting heart rate in beats per minute? 4. How many ounces of water do you drink each day? 5. What is your estimated total caloric expenditure from exercise each day? 6. What is your estimated daily intake of saturated fat in grams? 7. What is your daily systolic/diastolic blood pressure? Your Task: 1. Choose one variable that varies measurably from day to day. Be sure to specify the units of measurement, and state how it will be gathered. 2. Then collect at least 5 days’ worth of data on that one variable. For example, if your variable is how many minutes you spend exercising each day, simply record the number of minutes that you spend exercising each day during the sampling period. Be sure to save this data for use in remaining SLP assignments. The more data points that you gather during the session, the better. 3. Describe the data you have collected and its importance in relations to individual/population’s health.

...(Hackney, 1992). Theory can be used to define “the nature of the relationship between the counselor and client, to conceptualize the nature of the presenting problem(s), and to define the resulting counseling goals or desired outcomes” (p.2). In the past, much focus has been paid on delineating and accentuating the differences between the many theories of therapy (Sprenkle, 2003, p. 93). Today, there is a move towards convergence of theories within the helping practices (Hackney, 1992, p. 3; Sprenkle, 2003). Researchers and practitioners are searching for an integrated approach which emphasizes the key components within the helping process and relationship that have been linked to effective therapy (Hackney, 1992, p.2). Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) have been shown to bring about positive changes in therapy. CBT and PCT, like all single-theory approaches, have limitations. Literature suggests that when the change-producing techniques of CBT and PCT are combined and applied, counseling is more effective (Josefowitz & Myran, 2005; Tursi & Cochran, 2006). In this paper, CBT and PCT are reviewed and then integrated into one approach. A case example is then presented and hypothetical helping sessions are described to demonstrate how the various techniques of the approaches can come together...

...Staffing on the Inpatient Psychiatric Unit at the University of Virginia Hospital University of Virginia School of Nursing Margaret Halladay, Lillian McDonough, Chelsea Bateman, Olivia Robison, Elizabeth Whitsett, Hannah Knabe, Janie Rhodes, and Fangzhong Luo On our honor, as UVA students, we have neither given nor received aid on this assignment. Margaret Halladay, Lillian McDonough, Chelsea Bateman, Olivia Robison, Elizabeth Whitsett, Hannah Knabe, Janie Rhodes, and Fangzhong Luo Introduction The nursing students working on 5E, the psychiatric unit at the University of Virginia, identified patient safety as a clinical problem related to inadequate staffing. Previous research revealed that 63% of the staff on this unit identified that inadequate staffing greatly affected patient safety. In order to research this issue further, the nursing students developed a follow-up survey that would help to identify the aspects of patient safety that are most affected. By understanding which aspects of patient safety create an issue on this unit, the group will develop an intervention with increasing safety as the expected outcome. Safety on this unit is difficult to measure because the unit does not face the same problems that staff encounter on Medical Surgical Units. One way to measure safety on 5E is to review the number of patient falls. Data was obtained that revealed in November of 2012, 5E reported the most falls of any unit in the hospital. Other safety markers...

...Group therapy has gained popularity in a gradual but steady way in the contemporary society. The main feature of group therapy is group counseling, which involves people forming support groups for self-help and support about a common problem. A therapist engages a group in planned counseling sessions by using a custom made programmed for them. The group’s proper existence, progress and ethics are of great importance for it is a reflection of the groups conduct in their relation. Basically, ethics give a definition of the agreed upon do’s and don’ts in the group activity .It therefore stands that, group’s discipline is a great determiner for group success or failure. Of worth importance is group trust among the members of group members of the therapy for maintenance of credibility in their activities. Without maintaining trust within a group, it is not possible to achieve cohesion (Baum, 2005). Trust is essential in group therapy because it will enhance openness and the members will be able to share freely. Indeed, this is an essential ethical issue that should be considered in group therapy. Respect and professionalism are key elements that a therapist should possess in handling group members while maintaining a firm leadership of the group. Therapists are the chief custodians of the group; hence, they need to cultivate a culture of ensuring that every member is treated with respect and honor. This is feasible in ensuring that the rights and liberties of every person are observed...
