Health Benefits of Breastfeeding

Recommended approach:

Step 1: Clarify & research your nursing specialty
Nursing Specialty topics include:
􀁸Maternal Health
Health benefits of breastfeeding

The topics listed above identify large areas of nursing that may include more specific areas of nursing. For example: Public Health/Community nursing may include: outreach/street; occupational health; home care; forensic; correctional; parish/faith nursing.

Students are permitted to choose the nursing specialty. Students are encouraged to clarify their choice of topic with the professor if they are unsure regarding appropriateness.

Your scholarly literature review of the specialty area should include the following information:
􀁸What is the role of the nurse?
􀁸Who are his/her/their clients?

Remember: the more specific your nursing specialty, the more difficulty you will have in finding scholarly resources.
Questions to consider are: MUST ANSWER THESE
􀁸What is the history of this nursing specialty? When/why did it come about?
􀁸What are the rewards and challenges of this nursing specialty?
􀁸Is this nursing specialty recognized by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA)?
􀁸What does the future look like for this specialty? Trends?

Step 2: Research health promotion or advocacy
Define health promotion. Consider the role of health promotion or advocacy within the Canadian healthcare system.
What is nursing’s role in health promotion or advocacy?

Step 3: Link health promotion or advocacy to your specialty
Explain how the specialty and health promotion or advocacy are linked. Consider how health promotion or advocacy might be applied to your nursing specialty. Are there any evidenced-based resources to help you deepen your understanding of health promotion or advocacy within your nursing specialty? Select one health promotion/prevention this specialty does and expand on the concept.

Step 4: Review the expectations of the paper. Review APA 6th ed format. Review the marking rubric.
Remember the purpose of your paper. Refer to the OWL Purdue website for APA formatting. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html

Step 5: Begin to write your first draft.

Introduction: Should clearly identify the purpose and direction of your paper (i.e. should clearly state for the reader what can be expected from your paper). Ex/explaining health promotion with citation, introducing the nursing specialty and health promotion to be discussed…

Body: Present your findings and ideas in a succinct manner (on the specialty, on health promotion or advocacy and the application of health promotion). Support your ideas by evidence in the body of the paper. It needs to flow, easy to follow, logical sequence.

Conclusion (Summary): Includes a very brief repeat of what the opening paragraph identified in your paper. It should state the importance of the stated health promotion.

Step 6: Review, re-work, review, re-work.
Submit your paper to the writing center for APA formation and proof reading of the paper. This will provide you with constructive feedback (everyone needs an editor). Ask your volunteer reader what they understood about the message of the paper (Example: Did your editor learn anything from your paper? Is your editor able to clearly summarize the content of your paper? Such as what is health promotion, what is the nursing specialty, and background of this specialty, and a specific health promotion they do, and the importance of such application. Utilize the feedback provided to revise
your paper.

Step 7: Finalize your paper.
Grade your paper using the rubric provided. Have you done what you were asked to do? Check the
original content of your paper. Is there research to back up the data? Do you have enough original content or is the paper heavily-weighted with other people’s ideas? I still want to hear your thoughts through this paper. Are all borrowed ideas properly cited? If not, make the appropriate changes.

Step 8: Submit your paper. Ensure that your paper is professionally prepared and submitted electronically via BrigthSpace prior to the deadline identified in the course schedule

What were some examples that you saw? Describe what this activity was like for you? How did the participants choose which identities to share? Did anyone in the group surprise you? Why? How did it feel to be able to stand up and challenge stereotypes?

I am but I’m not

The activity engages participants in a process of identifying what they consider to be the most salient dimensions of their own identity. It is also a helpful introduction to stereotypes and ways in which people identify salient stereotypes in their lives.

Introduction
Common stereotypes can be very hurtful and difficult for individuals to celebrate their own identities. In this activity we will claim some of our own identities and dispel stereotypes we may believe exist about the group.

How to Play

1. As 5 participants to fold their paper in half and re-open it to create 2 columns. On one side, the heading will be “I am.” On the other side, the heading will be “I am not.” Instruct participants to write the word “but” in the middle of the two columns.

2. Students will be asked to write at least five “I am, but, I am not” statements on their paper. Demonstrate one example to the group, such as, “I am Asian, but I am not good at math.” Participants should use this opportunity to introduce their identity and dispel any stereotypes about them.

3. Make sure there are no questions, and allow time for everyone to write at least five statements.

4. Allow participants to share their own after emphasizing listening skills and respect.

You will write about the following:

1. What were some examples that you saw?

2. Describe what this activity was like for you?

3. How did the participants choose which identities to share?

4. Did anyone in the group surprise you? Why?

5. How did it feel (for you and for the participants) to be able to stand up and challenge stereotypes?

6. (if there was any laughter during the exercise) What was that about? Why were people laughing?

7. Where did we learn these stereotypes?

8. How can we reduce them? What role do we play in doing so?

Things to Consider

Addressing stereotypes is always a trigger. The debrief is very important. People may articulate stereotypes in their “but I am not” that might trigger other participants. A helpful way to debrief is to ask the group (or individual) “Where did you learn that stereotype? What was your first message about that stereotype? How is it reinforced for you?” It might also be helpful to ask other participants if they had heard that stereotype before and what their first messages about it were, too. The key to this activity is the process of examining one’s own identity and the stereotypes associated with that identity, then having one’s own stereotypes challenged through others’ stories and stereotype challenges. It is crucial, especially for the final part of the activity when participants are sharing their stereotypes, to allow for silences. People will be hesitant to share initially, but once the ball starts rolling, the activity carries a lot of energy. Allow time at the end for participants to talk more about whatever stereotype they shared.
