Practicum: Population Cultural Considerations and Genetic Predispositions
Overview:This week, you will identify any genetic predisposition your chosen population has to a particular disease and develop primary practice interventions that reflect the cultural considerations of the population. Then, youll develop culturally appropriate, measurable interventions to help your population members maintain an optimal state of health, avoiding the problem that you identified as them being at risk for developing.
Practicum Discussion: Culturally aware nurses recognize that states of health are revealed differently across cultures and ethnicities. Culture and ethnic background will affect the way each individual responds to health, illness, and death (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). These nurses are also aware of their own biases, which may affect the care they provide to others (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). Because most nurses work in institutions with individual patients, they are accustomed to delivering culturally competent care on a one-on-one basis. When a public health nurse deals with a population, he or she must consider how the population culture affects the ways in which the community nurse may interact. This can be with regard to the provision of education or mass health care needs such as those required in a foodborne illness, if mass vaccinations are needed for a communicable disease outbreak, or if education is required to prevent heart disease. In addition to understanding the nuances of the culture of a population, community health nurses must understand the role genetics play in health. Some disorders, such as glaucoma and diabetes, have a genetic link, as do some cancers, such as breast and ovarian.
By Day 4

Postyour response to the following:

Provide a few examples of community resources that should be put in place to assist your population in resolving their healthcare needs. What gaps in service do you see that affect your population?
Are there any cultural considerations that might inform your approach to caring for this population?
Does your population have a genetic predisposition to the healthcare problem you have identified?
Identify at least one evidence-based, culturally competent behavior change that would promote health for your selected population and for the specific healthcare problem you are addressing?
Support your response with references from professional nursing literature.

Mixed methods research designs combine quantitative and qualitative research methods to answer researchquestions requiring both perspectives.APA 7, 2 references less than 5 years.
Mixed methods research designs are considered to be the procedures of having a collection of the specific data for the research and analyzing it by having the use of both the quantitative and the qualitative research methods within a single study and thus helping on having a clearer understanding of the research problem under study (Fetters, 2019). A qualitative research method is noted to be involving the collection and analysis of non-numerical data like videos, and audio and thus getting to understand the different opinions, concepts, and deep insights on the research topic under consideration. On the other hand, the quantitative research method is considered to be the processes of research that include the numerical data and having an analysis done on the data and thus being much relevant in the making of predictions, results in generalization, and making of averages for the wider relationships that are under consideration (Creswell & Creswell, 2022).
The benefits of having the use of mixed methods research designs include having the validity of the research being carried out increased and thus having more reliability to the understanding of the topic of study. There is also the benefit of having externally valid insights into the data, detailed and also contextualized insights of the qualitative and quantitative data (Fetters, 2019). The demerits of having the use of mixed methods research designs are that it’s noted as being time-consuming and also expensive due to both procedures of qualitative and quantitative methods applications at the same time in data collection and analysis. Also, it’s noted to be requiring a greater deal of expertise and effort to be employed in having studies of the phenomenon as there is eh consideration of two different methods of application. Also, mixed research methods are noted to be having an issue with the successful integration of qualitative and quantitative data in the interpretation and analysis procedures (Panke, 2018).
