Discussion: Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice
In your practice as a nurse, you may use procedures and methods that did not necessarily originate in evidence, but instead were derived from informal and unwritten conventions, traditions, and observations. While these techniques may have merit, practices are constantly being updated and contradicted by information from scholarly research studies and professional guidelines. This new information serves as “evidence” for revising practices to improve outcomes across health care.
Based on this evidence, you can formulate a question. In this Discussion, you consider the use of evidence-based practice in your own organization and formulate a question that you will need to answer for your portfolio project. This is called a PICOT question. You will also investigate strategies for overcoming barriers to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP).
To prepare:
Consider a recent clinical experience in which you were providing care for a patient.
Determine the extent to which the care that you provided was based on evidence and research findings or supported only by your organization’s standard procedures. How do you know if the tasks were based on research?
What questions have you thought about in a particular area of care such as a procedure or policy?
Review Chapter 2, pages 31–34 on “Asking Well worded Clinical Questions” in Polit & Beck and consult the resource from the Walden Student Center for Success: Clinical Question Anatomy & examples of PICOT questions (found in this week’s Learning Resources). Formulate your background questions and PICOT question.
Reflect on the barriers that might inhibit the implementation of evidence-based practice in your clinical environment.
Review the article “Adopting Evidence-Based Practice in Clinical Decision Making” in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one of the barriers described that is evident in your organization and formulate a plan for overcoming this barrier.
How has the mixing of religions and cultures created a greater level of diversity and affected people worldwide, so that what was not accepted fifty years ago, even thirty years ago is now considered normal, everyday events.
Today’s generation is seeing tremendous changes in how business is done throughout the world, and how society in general responds to social, and cultural change in ways that has never been seen before. Fifty years ago diplomacy among nations was substantially different from what we see today. Fifty years ago it would have been unheard of for women to negotiate diplomatic issues. However, today it has become the norm. While not every change is accepted worldwide, religion has become a key factor in how business is conducted. In the United States not only does religion play an integral part of politics but, one must be accepting of the other cultures that have emerged, such as Gay Rights, inter-racial and inter-religious marriages. Religion and the acceptance of religion has been so highly regarded by nations that the mere mention of religious clerics becoming involved in any type of national business is to the point that “one of the titles of the bishop of Rome is pontifex maximus, or “greatest bridge builder.” In Poland, John Paul II, helped construct a bridge that would ultimately restore the connection between Europe’s East and West.”(Albright, 36) While this is how one of the greatest popes of modern times was viewed, it does not only apply to Christianity. Many leaders in the Middle East are viewed in the same way and are held to the same regard. This has all come at the expense of the mixing of the very many cultures. Religions and cultures have been joined to the point the finding the original culture is next to impossible. We have come to accept diversity in marriage and religion.
Question
How has the mixing of religions and cultures created a greater level of diversity and affected people worldwide, so that what was not accepted fifty years ago, even thirty years ago is now considered normal, everyday events.

What is the difference between model, theory, framework, and philosophy? How are they related?
What is the difference between model, theory, framework, and philosophy? How are they related? (Discriminate between the concepts.)
R/ The purpose of this paper is to describe the differences between model, theory, framework, and philosophy, as well as how they are related. According to McKenna (1997) models, therefore are conceptual tools or devices that can be used by an individual to understand and place complex phenomena into perspective. It gives the viewer an indication of what the real thing is like (p 12). A theory is an idea that something will work without having facts. Once a theory is made then it is put to the test for validity. Per Fawcett (2005b) philosophy is to communicate what the members of a discipline believe to be true in relation to the phenomena of interest to that discipline (pp 11-12). My philosophy may be similar in nature to my best friend, who is also a nurse, but no two people share the exact same philosophy. The medical dictionary (n.d) framework is a group of related concepts and theories that are of importance to nurses to guide nursing practice, education, and research (para 1). These are all closely related in my opinion because a theory is based on the philosophy of the nurse, once proven, it becomes a framework for the model.

The Role of Isicathamiya Performance in Black Cultural Emancipation in S. Africa
(2) The Role of Isicathamiya Performance in Black Cultural Emancipation in S. Africa
Discuss broadly about the Isicathamiya performance aesthetics in the following order: (a) the theoretical-historical dimension of the rise of the genre, by looking at (i) the definition and the brief history of the genre which had evolved and developed through certain migrants’ experience and struggles, (ii) the two worlds out of which the isicathamiya performance tradition was born, and the vastly different sets of images of personal identity, sociability and aesthetic values upon which these two worlds came to rest; (b) the religions dimension, by tracing its link to the Zionist ritual, or the parallels between the isicathamiya performance and Zionist ritual celebration, as shown in isicathamiya singers and dancers who are mostly amaZayoni—adherents of black independent Zionist churches—and as such considered their performances as analogies of and commentaries on ancestor worship and Zionist church ritual; (c) the revolutionary dimension, by looking at how Isicathamiya performance began to be used showcase the black identity, and how it was later appropriated and revived by several groups of musicians such as Solomon Linda, King Star Brother, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, as a political protest to rebel and confront the then colonial oppression in the country; and (d) the politico-cultural dimension by looking at how the rapid expansion of radio broadcasting in the country contributed in shaping the evolution isicathamiya performance.
