Northcentral Technical College Evidence Based Practice Resources Discussion

Description For part one of this assignment, you will revisit the six research articles (3 qualitative and 3 quantitative) that you found in Weeks 6 and 7 that addressed your PCF. Use these articles to practice the initial steps of the Evidence-based Practice (EBP) approach (see Appendix I in Williams, Patterson & Edwards, 2014.). For each article: ASK: Identify an important clinical question that can be addressed by the study. Decide whether the clinical question you articulated above is a who, what, where, when or why question and explain why this is the case. ACQUIRE: Summarize the process you undertook to find this article (which is the process you will use to find future evidence). APPRAISE: Summarize the article’s strengths and any weaknesses/concerns related to internal and external validity, measurement, analyses, ethics, and any other relevant issues. APPLY: Discuss what you would take from this article to help you answer the clinical question you articulated above. Then, evaluate the fit of this information with your experience to date, as well as your hypothetical client population, and clinical context. In doing so, ensure you comment on: Whether the methods used for the study limit to whom the results of the study might apply (e.g., if the participants in this study were primarily inner city adolescents in foster care, does that mean the results will only apply to similar clients, or not? Why or why not?). Whether the methods used for the study limit the context in which the results of the study might apply (e.g., if the study was carried out in an inpatient psychiatric treatment center in Sweden, does that limit their utility for outpatient clients in the US? Again, why or why not?). ANALYZE AND ADJUST: Propose a few specific measures or ways that you might evaluate the effectiveness of your hypothetical treatment of clients using the information obtained in this study. In other words, how would you assess if the ways you might alter your therapy based on the information from this article were effective? Length: 6-8 pages Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. For part two of this week’s assignment, review the six questions you proposed in Part I. Repeat EBP step one (ASK) and articulate another clinical question related to your PCF that is of interest to you. Complete step 2 (ACQUIRE) and find two additional research studies that you believe could provide an answer to that clinical question. For each study, cut and paste the study abstract into your assignment document and then explain in 5-7 sentences why you think the results of this study would help you provide a reasonable answer to this new clinical question (essentially this comment will be a combined description of EBP steps three and four—APPRAISE and APPLY). Thus this part of the assignment will look like this: EBP Step 1 (ASK) This is a second clinical question I could ask related to my PCF: (e.g., “What is….” “How should therapists address X in therapy.?”) EBP Step 2 (ACQUIRE) I located two more research studies that can help me answer this clinical question. Abstract from Article 1: Abstract from Article 2: EBP Steps 3 and 4 (APPRAISE and APPLY) This is why I think the results of the study discussed in Article 1 would help me provide a reasonable answer to this new clinical question. This is why I think the results of the study discussed in Article 2 would help me provide a reasonable answer to this new clinical question.  Part I: Brief description of articlesDeVoe, E. R., Ross, A. M., Spencer, R., Drew, A., Acker, M., Paris, R., & Jacoby, V. (2020). Coparenting across the deployment cycle: Observations from military families with young children. Journal of Family Issues, 41(9), 1447-1469.In the modern world, members working in the military services and their partners have adopted the home front parenting, which is attributed to various dramatic transitions. The focus of the qualitative study centers on the incidences of deployments and their influences on children who are subjects of military families. The authors focus on the experiences outlined by the co-parents who took charge of children when the military parents were subjected to deployment. The study did not contain research questions that could have guided the response. However, the authors’ focus on this study attributed the irritating breathed experiences and depressors or co-parents during the disposition era. The authors use the interview as a research design to guide the study. In terms of applicability, the article reveals how the absence of parents creates a gap with their parents that leads to separation anxiety. However, the presence of home front parents plays a vital role in maintaining this relationship and reduces the potential for a child to develop notions of not wishing to maintain social relationships. Pexton, S., Farrants, J., & Yule, W. (2018). The impact of fathers’ military deployment on child adjustment. The support needs of primary school children and their families separated during active military service: A pilot study. Clinical child psychology and psychiatry, 23(1), 110-124.When children are directly associated with circumstances around the war, they become vulnerable and may be negatively impacted by the war-related trauma. Similarly, the parental deployment also influences the psychological well-being of children as they struggle to cope with the absence of parents, thus escalating the separation anxiety. Therefore, the authors depict that those children may be affected by the separation from their parents who are serving personnel. This separation has a likelihood of causing a detachment from other social relationships in cases where stress inhibits the reconnection of the family relationships. The issues cause massive stress that has serious impacts on mental health. The focus groups were used as the primary research design to guide the study. In terms of applicability, the study creates insight into the health recommendations required for children exposed to parental separation. The most fundamental recommendation is that care is often needed in adult relationships to avoid spreading traumatized experiences. Skomorovsky, A., & Bullock, A. (2017). The impact of deployment on children from Canadian military families. Armed Forces & Society, 43(4), 654-673.The demands of military life come with constraints of maintaining a strong relationship among the family members, particularly for young children. When children are separated from their parents, they develop stressors that might cause serious mental industries. This is not the case with Canadian families, as scarce information is generated to confirm the assertion. The study, therefore, focuses on evaluating the effects of deployment on the welfares of children subjected to families involved in the Canadian Armed Forces. The study utilizes focus groups as the primary research design. Nevertheless, a focus group with children (N=85) demonstrated a negative impact of deployment and showed social support seeking as a protective measure for the stressor. The study is important as it creates awareness of the psychological impacts of the deployment and allows the medical professionals to examine the possible health conditions to recommend.Part II: Qualitative Article CritiqueCritiqued By: Date: 3/01/2022Source reference:DeVoe, E.
