  • Self Care Plan Revised

    Revise self care plan based on professor feedback:

    Please consider weekly administration of the Perceived Stress Scale as that will provide more data trends to observe. Not mandatory for approval. Simply suggested.

    Please do make sure that the primary outcomes identified in the outcomes section are the same as those you will be assessing.

    The weekly journaling to assess other named outcomes is a nice approach. Needed are the prompts that will guide your weekly entries that will promote reflective responses the same each time. An example is, “Describe how my self-care has contributed to my emotional health this week. Provide an example.”

Paper reviews. Walden University. TO PREPARE Review the Learning Resources on measurement, data collection, and bias-free language. Access and reflect on Part 1 of your research proposal. Consider what you have learned about research by conceptualizing and planning a research study in this manner. Anticipate what the proposed studys results might be. Add content to Part 2 of your Research Proposal document. By day 7 Submit the second part of your research proposal including the following sections in 2 to 3 pages: Sampling and Sampling Method (12 paragraphs) Data Collection (1 paragraph) Ethics and Cultural Considerations (12 paragraphs) What ethical and/or cultural issues need to be considered? How will you address those issues in your study? Discussion (1 paragraph) If you were to conduct the study, what would you expect the results to show? What would you do if the data didnt align with your expectations? Reflection (1 paragraph) What did you learn about research through this process? Make sure to include appropriate APA citations and a reference list. In Part 1 of your research proposal, you established the need for further study in your literature review and mapped out your problem statement, research question, and methodological approach. Now you expand on that foundation by including your plans for sampling, data collection, and ethical and cultural considerations. You also do a bit of reflection in Part 2first by anticipating the results of your study and what youd expect to find, and second by reflecting on the research process and what you have learned. For instance, to what extent has your understanding of research deepened? Does the research process seem more valuable now after having built your own proposal? Consider these questions as you complete your full research proposal, adding information to the Part 2 sections.

For your convenience, all Ray videos are embedded within this weeks Learning Resources. Review any feedback you have received from Week 8 Discussion 2 and the Week 9 Assignment. Download the Biopsychosocial Assessment Template from the Learning Resources and use it for this Assignment. By Day 7 Using the template, submit a 5- to 7-page biopsychosocial assessment focusing on Ray. The assessment should be written in professional language and cover the following sections: Presenting issue (including referral source) Demographic information Current living situation Birth and developmental history School and social relationships Family members and relationships Health and medical issues (including biological, psychological, and psychiatric functioning and substance use) Spiritual and cultural development Social, community, and recreational activities Client strengths, capacities, and resources At the end of the document: Include a summary and analysis of the overall challenges experienced by the client and how the social environment has contributed to those challenges. Describe how this analysis of the social environment would be beneficial to treatment and goal-setting. Then, describe two goals that you can work on with this client based on the assessment. Explain why these goals are appropriate and relevant to the case in addressing the presenting issue and challenges. Please use the Learning Resources and additional research to support your analysis. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list In this course, you have explored the complex interplay of the social environment and aspects of biological, psychological, and social development from birth to adolescence. Of course, this interplay is never immediately apparent to a social worker when working with a new client. The social worker must gather information, via interview, to begin to understand and make sense of the clients unique situation. Social workers use a biopsychosocial assessment (sometimes called biopsychosocial-spiritual) to collect and document specific information about the clients life and the factors that have shaped it. It is, at once, a summary of current issues and problems, a listing of past factors that may be relevant to the present situation, and a description of potential issues that may have an effect on the client in the future. The assessment provides a holistic picture of the client and is used to guide treatment and goal setting. For this Assignment, imagine yourself as Rays social worker. Though you wont be interviewing him, you have learned a great deal about his story in videos throughout the course. Now, in this Assignment, you apply that learning to identify, categorize, and record important information about Rays development in a biopsychosocial assessment. Resources
