Analysis of best practices and used methods in research articles of culturally competent care : applied systematic literature review
Get PDFBackground: The ever-increasing multicultural population in the world creates a significant challenge to nurses providing individualized and holistic care to their patients. Finland is one of the countries that are facing these challenges. In between 1973 and 2003, 22 250 refugees immigrated to Finland and they started facing problems related to cultural differences. The social and health care system then needs to develop cultural competence care in immigration population. This final project is a part of Local and Global Development in Health Care, which is a joint project between social and health care. Purpose: The purpose of this final project is to describe the best practices and used research methods in culturally competent care. Method: Using an applied systematic literature review, the author appraise the methodological rigor of studies published in English from 2000-2009. These include: qualitative and quantitative study, full article for review, and targeted studies to describe the best practices and used research methods in culturally competent care. The most common reasons for exclusion were that the finding was not relevant to the study questions. The conceptual framework for this study is based on the Papadopoulos, Tilki and Taylor model for developing cultural competence. Results: This study describes the best practices and used research methods in culturally competent care. This review confirms that there was uniformity of used methods in the articles. These are: interviews and questioners, and surveys from recorded or available data. These methods help to explore the minority’s experience of culturally competent care in health care. This best practices analysis describe that racial and ethnic minority respondents were more likely to perceive bias and lack of culturally competent care when seeking treatment in the health care system overall than whites. Perceptions of racism and mistrust of whites had a significant negative effect on trust and satisfaction from received care. Patients’ preferences for a same race or same ethnicity physician were also associated as a preferable encounter in patient-physician relationships.
Conclusion: This review confirms that there is uniformity in the data collecting methods such as focus group and telephone interviews, questioners and records or available method. These methods help to identify the minority’s challenges in their health and illness needs. According to this review the minority patient were experiencing different challenges and bias. Some of the challenges were language barriers, language and racial discriminations, and communication problems. These kinds of problems lead the minority patients to dissatisfaction of their care and poor communication. Developing trans-cultural nursing practice is a key factor to minimize cultural challenges and to provide quality patient care.Tavoite: Tämän lopullisen projektin tarkoituksena on kuvata hankkeen hyviä käytäntöjä ja tutkimusmenetelmiä jotka käyttävät kulttuuri toimivaltaista hoitoa.
Menetelmä: käyttäen järjestelmällinen ja soveltavaa kirjallisuuden arviointi menetelmä tutkimuksen laatija arvioi metodologian täsmällisyys vuosina 2000-2009 englanniksi julkaistujen tutkimuksien kirjallisuuden käyttäen. Näitä ovat: ne laadulliset ja määrälliset tutkimukset, kokonais artikkelit ja julkaisut, kohdennettuja tutkimuksia, ja hyviä käytäntöjä jossa käyttety kulttuuri toimivaltaisten hoidossa. Yleisin syy tutkimuksen pois jätto oli jos tutkimus ei ollut asianmukainen. Käsitteelliset puitteet tässä tutkimuksessa perustuu Papadopoulosin, tilki Taylorin kehittämä kulttuurisen mallin.
Tulokset: Tämä tutkimus kuvaa hyviä käytäntöjä ja käytetyjää menetelmiä kulttuuri toimivaltaisten hoidossa. Tämä tarkistus vahvistaa sen että käytettyn menetelmat ovat yhdenmukaisia. Nämä ovat: haastattelut ja kysyjät, tutkimukset, ja arkistot tai käytettävissä olevija tietoija. Nämä menetelmät auttaa tutkimaan vähemmistöjen kokemusta kulttuurisesti toimivaltaisten hoidossa. Tämä analyysi kuvaa että eri rotuun ja etniseen alkuperään vähemmistöjen vastaajien yleisesti ilmoittama puutelista kohtelua ja bias terveydenhuoltojärjestelmasta kun silloin pyritään kulttuuri toimivaltaista hoitoa, kuin valkoiset joiden parhaiden käytäntöjen todennäköisemmin mieltävät. Näkemykset rasismin ja epäluulo valkoisiin tuo merkittävää kielteistä vaikutusta luottamuksen ja tyytyväisyyta saadusta huoltoa vastaan. Potilas-lääkäri suhteissa potilaiden suosio saman rodun tai etnisen alkuperän lääkäri oli myös assosioitu tahan näkemykseen.
Päätelmä. Tämä arvio vahvistaa, menetelmien yhdenmukaisuuta tietojen kerämisestä keskittyä ryhmästa, kuten hastatteluja puhelimitse, kysyjät ja muita käytettävissä olevia menetelmä. Nämä menetelmät auttaa tunnistaa ja määrittää vähemmistöjen haasteisiin, niiden terveyteen ja sairauden tarpeisiin. Tämän tutkimuksen mukaan vähemmistö potilat olivat kokeneet eri haasteisiin ja bias. Joitakin nama haasteita olivat kieli esteet, kieli ja rotuun syrjintää, ja tiedonanto ongelmia.
Tällaisia ongelmia johtaa vähemmistön potilaiden hoidon tyytymättömyyttä ja niiden köyhien tiedonanto. Sairaanhoitohenkilöstön käytännön kehittäminen transcultural muotoon on ratkaisevan tärkeää minimoimaan kulttuurisiin haasteisiin ja tarjota laadukkaita hoitoa potilaille.This thesis is in both digital and printed forma
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
