Explore each of the Hofstede categories with the interviewee and report on this discussion in the cross-cultural paper.

COURSE PAPER/CROSS CULTURAL AWARENESS ASSIGNMENT

A major activity for this course deals with cross-cultural awareness. The cross-cultural awareness project can be satisfied by working with persons in our country who represent different cultures. As described below, this will involve interviewing two persons using the knowledge gained in this and other courses, so the interviews are required to be current.

(1) Students, working as individuals, will explore Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions to study two non-Anglo countries. Students will speak/interact directly with a minimum of two people from each of the chosen countries. The expectation is that students would spend a minimum of at least five hours in direct contact with persons in each of the two countries and will provide a log of time spent in the appendix of the paper. Students are expected to explore relevant data (cultural, economical, political, and social issues) to assist them in better understanding the position these countries have in the global environment.

Students should use the Hofstede six-category framework in discussions with the interviewees. Explore each of the Hofstede categories with the interviewee and report on this discussion in the cross-cultural paper. It is recommended that the student read the Hofstede book early in the course so that the Hofstede framework will be well known before the interviews are conducted.

(2) Students are then required to write a ten page paper discussing the comparisons of countries/cultures as well as their personal insights from these interview experiences. Students are required to follow the APA6 manual guidelines for a title page, use one-inch margins, font (12 font), and citations. A reference page should be included with references following the approved APA6 format. A running head should be included. However, no abstract is required nor is a table of contents.

Reflect on an issue or problem that you have noticed in your nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or problem.

One of the most challenging aspects of EBP is to actually identify the answerable question.

Formulating a question that targets the goal of your research is a challenging but essential task. The question plays a crucial role in all other aspects of the research, including the determination of the research design and theoretical perspective to be applied, which data will be collected, and which tools will be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to ensure that the research question addresses what you actually want to study. Doing so will increase your likelihood of obtaining meaningful results.
In this first component of the Course Project, you formulate questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You use the PICOT model patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome outlined in the Learning Resources to design your questions.
To prepare:
1, Review the article, Formulating the Evidence Based Practice Question: A Review of the Frameworks, found in the Learning Resources for this week. Focus on the PICOT model for guiding the development of research questions.
2, Review the section beginning on page 75 of the course text, titled, Developing and Refining Research Problems in the course text, which focuses on analyzing the feasibility of a research problem.
3, Reflect on an issue or problem that you have noticed in your nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or problem.
4, Generate at least five questions that relate to the issue which you have identified. Use the criteria in your course text to select one question that would be most appropriate in terms of significance, feasibility, and interest. Be prepared to explain your rationale.
5, Formulate a preliminary PICO question one that is answerable based on your analysis. What are the PICO variables (patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome) for this question?
6, Using the PICOT variables that you determined for your question, develop a list of at least 10 keywords that could be used when conducting a literature search to investigate current research pertaining to the question.

My assignment instructions are below
To complete:
Write a 3- to 4-page paper that includes the following:
1, A summary of your area of interest, an identification of the problem that you have selected, and an explanation of the significance of this problem for nursing practice
2, The 5 questions you have generated and a description of how you analyzed them for feasibility
3, Your preliminary PICOT question and a description of each PICOT variable relevant to your question
4, At least 10 possible keywords that could be used when conducting a literature search for your PICOT question and a rationale for your selections

What data was gathered?

This discussion topic requires you to reflect on the Performance Improvement (Quality Improvement) processes at your facility. Make sure you address all components of the topic for a robust discussion. It is anticipated that all clinical areas will be mentioned.

Recall an improvement method initiated at your facility. What data was gathered? How was this done? What outcomes were measured and how was change implemented to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes?
