Nurse educators are the primary hospital resource for generating such educational programs. This summary will describe the steps to follow when planning an effective staff development program, which include assessing learning needs, selecting a learning theory, developing learning objectives, presenting learning content, and evaluating learning. Assessment of Learning Needs In order for the teaching-learning process to be effective, an assessment of learning needs must first occur (Kearney-Nunnery, 2012, pp. 162-176). Performing an analysis of learning needs will identify knowledge gaps and skill deficits and enable the educator to select the most relevant topics when creating staff development programs. Research has shown that questionnaires are a reliable method to collect this type of information (Doughty, 2012). To analyze and determine learning needs of nurses in the intensive care unit where I work, a questionnaire composed of two parts was used. The first part consisted of five questions related to clinical procedure topics for which nurses had potential knowledge deficits or interests. The second part addressed the preferences of delivery methods for educational content. Fifteen of the twenty nurses who received the questionnaire responded and the majority of respondents agreed they needed further knowledge of a procedure known as rapid sequence...

Whether we are talking about marketing information, cost projections, accounting results, or internal quality reports, every company depends on knowledge to support its planning, decision-making, and control. So how does knowledge fit into the picture? The emergence of the field called knowledge management has highlighted some key propositions in the last 10 years or so. All organizations are storehouses of knowledge that operate in information-rich environments made up of people and things both inside and outside the organization itself Organizations organize, interpret, and evaluate this information to solve organizational problems Knowledge is the primary mechanism for processing and utilizing information People's brains are the key knowledge resource of any organization Codified knowledge stored in books, audio, videotapes, and computer systems can be an important knowledge resource as well There are organizational processes and strategies for IT management and management in general.

...with ADHD (some diagnosed, some undiagnosed but will display some of the behaviours/traits of pupils diagnosed with ADHD). Pupils with ADHD do have some barriers to learning. Some of these pupils are quite able academically and, therefore, may not have been identified as requiring special educational need (SEN) support if it weren’t for the perceived negative behaviours frequently displayed. These behaviours could include: trouble sustaining attention in tasks, trouble organising tasks and activities, refusal to comply with adult instructions, fidgeting with hands or feet or squirming in seat, disruption to the lesson by talking excessively, easily frustrated and having trouble waiting for his or her turn, distress at seemingly minor issues, disturbing other children, leaving the classroom etc. A range of strategies can be used to help these pupils settle in a main stream classroom and raise their achievement. It would be interesting to find out if it is an issue of Sensory sensitivity that is largely a factor in inhibiting the learning of these pupils. Baranek (2002) and Barkley (1998) report that pupils with ADD, ODD and ADHD often have Sensory Processing concerns and also Motor planning deficits. Many people who work with children are unable to understand their needs and it has always been a concern. This research project will provide help not only pupils with ADHD but to all the adults who work with them. The sample chosen in this project is a boy and a girl who have already...

...Informative Essay Causes & Effects of Stress in College Students Tracy Thomas Professor Evans ENG 115 March 20, 2014 "The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burden of Disease Survey estimates that mental disease, including stress-related disorders, will be the second leading cause of disabilities by the year 2020" (World Health Organization: 1990). In today's fast paced society it is common for people to experience stress in various aspects of their lives. Due to the ever evolving and increasing amounts of responsibilities the average college student has to manage on a daily basis, there is an urgent need for appropriate stress management skills in the following main causes of stress in a college student’s life: personal, academic, and financial. Let's further clarify these areas. Personal - balance of family and social life; academic - challenge of maintaining mandatory GPA; financial - stress of the cost of education and the need to garner and maintain gainful employment to cover these costs. Academic success is contingent upon the student's ability to properly manage these top causes of stress by implementing a regiment of academic time management, dietary and social health wellness routines, and by consistently harnessing available resource networks. Let’s consider how the effects of stress impact the economy. Although the term "stress" is used in a wide variety of contexts, it has consistently been proven...

...Matrix of Theoretical Models Matrix of Theoretical Models November 19, 2011 University of Phoenix Material Appendix A: Matrix of Theoretical Models Theoretical Model | Description of Theoretical Model | Type of health care change situation in which model best applies | Kurt Lewin’s Change Theory and Force Field Analysis | Kurt Lewin’s theory model has three stages of change including: freezing, change or moving, and refreezing. The first stage of freezing involves finding methods to help people relinquish learned habits that were inefficient. Recognizing the need for change occurs in this stage. According to Schein (2002), the moving stage “allows members of the group to change from one set of behavior to another, such as new job responsibilities, new roles, and new job skills” (p. 37). The third stage of refreezing makes the change the standard operating procedure, the change becomes permanent. Without this last stage, individuals can revert back to the pre-change policies and procedures. Lewin’s theory believes that behavior is “a dynamic balance of forces working in opposing directions” (Lewin, 1951). He acknowledged that there are driving forces that cause change to occur, pushing individuals in the desired direction. Restraining forces counter driving forces, pushing an individual in the opposite direction. Examples of restraining forces include personal defense mechanisms or group “norms.” The goal within a force field of driving and restraining forces is...
