Research Methods and Critical Thinking Skills

1. Choose a subject in health care that is of interest to you. Examples might include health behaviors, epidemiology, health information, wellness activities, etc.

2. Research a possible issue or problem within this area of health care.

3. Form a hypothesis for how to solve the issue or problem you have identified and use the scientific method to create and test your hypothesis.

4. Create charts, graphs or maps to illustrate the data from your research.

5. Using critical thinking and problem solving skills, how can health science professionals be successful in improving this problem?

MAKE SURE YOU:

Successfully chooses a topic and health problem that is appropriate by demonstrating all of the following criteria:

● The topic is manageable.

● There is research and material available related to the chosen topic/health care
problem.

Successfully presents a hypothesis for how a health problem can be addressed by demonstrating all of the following criteria:

● The hypothesis clearly defines the topic (health problem) and scope of the
experiment.

● The hypothesis is specific and defines the variables that will be tested.

● The hypothesis is stated in the “if what, then” format Successfully uses the scientific method to prove or disprove the hypothesis by demonstrating all of the following criteria:

● Two or more research studies are used to support, or refute, the hypothesis.

● Two or more research methodologies are demonstrated (i.e. qualitative or qualitative).

● All research methodologies and studies applied are supported by relevant and
credible sources.

“As cities are re-planned, rezoned and rebuilt, culture is increasingly used as a developer’s battering ram, and artists worldwide are having to assess what their relationship is to the things they make and the ways they live.

This, then is a different kind of culture war.” Nato Thompson, Culture as Weapon (2017) Critically analyze the role of culture in regeneration. How apt is the metaphor of culture war?

The purpose of this individual assessment task is to assess your knowledge of strategy theory, and your ability to communicate strategic analysis in written form.

What is strategy, and why is it important for all organizations, regardless of shape and size, to have a strategic plan? Using an example of a well- known business from your local area (Woolworths), analyse their environment and discuss how strategy can be used to deliver a competitive advantage.

This question should be answered in a persuasive essay format, with an introduction, body, and conclusion.

Real-life examples are encouraged and should be used to support your answers.

Compare and contrast the data and comment on the quality of healthcare in a separate paragraph.

In this assignment you will go through the process of comparing data from multiple hospitals to determine the quality of care. Crucial to the quality plan is data. You will review three hospitals in Hospital Compare. Select three hospitals that have data and not just “No difference from the benchmark.”

Those will not be accepted as they do not provide data to promote the learning process. The hospitals can be from any state in the country.

Compare and contrast the data and comment on the quality of healthcare in a separate paragraph. NOTE: Compare and contrast only three issues (see the issues in the instructions).

Topic: Antigenic Shift and Drift of influenza virus and its genetic implications.
As a reminder, for this project, you are the science reporter for your local newspaper. You have just received an assignment from your editor.

She asks you to write an article on a major topic within the field of microbiology. She stipulates that in this article you must:

1. Generate a historical timeline of the major scientific discoveries leading to our current understanding of the topic.

2. Include a summary of our current understanding of the topic.

3. Project where the next major advance or breakthrough in your topic will come from.

How is the disease dealt with once it is discovered in order to prevent its spread?

viruses, prions and viroids. Infection by any one of these can have serious consequences to human health and/or economic well being. In the event of an outbreak, it is important to be able to identify and contain these pathogens to avoid potentially deadly outbreaks.

Your assignment is to choose one of the three infectious agents and consider the epidemiological features of your selection. By epidemiological features we mean: Can you characterize the causative organism? Where does the disease come from? Who is affected? How do they acquire the pathogen? What are the symptoms and risk factors? How is the disease dealt with once it is discovered in order to prevent its spread? You can choose one pathogen based on the general scenario described below.

For this assignment you now work for the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Research Service. You have been assigned to characterize a new epidemic that has spread rapidly at a farm in Montana.

You arrive at the farm observe the livestock, crops and farm workers for signs of illness. You sample the fluids and tissue of several affected organisms and bring them to a state-of-the-art USDA laboratory for analysis. The outbreak is fictional but all the information – from the organism, to how it is acquired, to the symptoms it causes – should be legitimate for the infectious agent.

What is the affected organism (animal/plant/human or any combination)?

What are the symptoms exhibited by the affected organism(s)?

What is the pathogen that you have identified after analysis of the infected material?

How where you able to identify the agent in a laboratory?

Describe the etiology. How did the infection make its way to the farm?

Trace the fictional outbreak from its origins either locally, nationally or internationally.

Knowing how the infectious agent is disseminated, what recommendations do you make to the farm manager for containment and treatment of infected organisms?
