The nature-versus-nurture debate questions the extent to which a person’s behavior and personality are a product of genetics (i.e., nature) or whether they are a product of upbringing, environment, life experiences, and influences (i.e., nurture).

As a longstanding study in the field of development, this question is critical to explore when considering factors shaping development.

Initial Post

Think about your behaviors and personality. Do you think these are pre-wired, meaning you inherited these as a result of genetics, or do you feel your personality is a result of your upbringing, your environment, and your life experiences? What is one example of how your development was influenced by nature? What is one example of how your development was shaped by nurture? Which do you think has had more influence on your development nature or nurture? Why?

TOPIC: Creating a Data Collection Sheet

Assessment Description

Creating a data collection sheet helps the project manager be more efficient when carrying out a quality improvement project. With a data collection sheet, you can easily fill out and organize your data efficiently. A data collection sheet should always be accompanied by a data dictionary. Data dictionaries are used to provide detailed information about the contents of a database, such as the names of measured variables, their data types, and text descriptions. A data dictionary provides a concise guide to understanding and using the data. This assignment includes the creation of a data dictionary and data collection sheet that will be used for your DPI Project in DNP-960A. 

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Before beginning this assignment, read Chapter 12 in Clinical Analytics and Data Management for the DNP.
• Use the “Data Collection Sheet Template,” ATTACHED to complete this assignment.
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments.

Directions:

Part 1: 

1. Using the “Data Collection Sheet Template,” create a data dictionary for your DPI Project. Refer to the examples within the template.
2. Click on the Data Dictionary tab.
3. Include all data variables (data points) that will be collected for your DPI Project, including demographics and any surveys, instruments, and tools. (Refer to Chapter 12 in Clinical Analytics and Data Management for the DNP for examples, as needed.)
4. Include descriptions for the variable name, variable description, data source, level of measurement, possible values, SPSS coding instructions, and missing values.

Part 2: 

1. Using the “Data Collection Sheet Template,” create your own template for your DPI Project. Please note that you are not collecting data for your DPI Project for this assignment.
2. Click on the Data Collection Sheet tab.
3. Edit Row 1 to match the variable names in the data dictionary.
4. Edit Row 2 to include example responses for each variable.

Please answer the questions below in one page or less, include APA references, as needed.

Chapter 30 in your textbook deals with Home Health and Hospice Care

Please review Chapter 30, read the information below on Compassion Fatigue, and answer the questions below

BOX 30-9 Evidence-Based Practice

Nurses and Compassion Fatigue

Do you wonder how hospice nurses sustain compassionate practice as they work every day with suffering patients who always die? Expert hospice nurses embrace the suffering of the client and family and become susceptible to compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue is often viewed as secondary stress. It is the stress felt by the caregiver from exposure to a traumatization. Nurses often describe this as overload. Although signs of compassion fatigue are individualized, they often include exhaustion and a reduced ability to express empathy for the client. This may result in withdrawal by the nurse emotionally from the client and family, as well as the role of nurse.

Staying psychologically as well as physically healthy as a hospice nurse requires a high level of self-awareness. Nurses must be aware of the signs and symptoms that they may have a tendency to exhibit. Symptoms are individualized based on how a particular nurse adapted to stress in the past and are often subject to developmental, spiritual, cultural, and environmental influences. Recognition of the symptoms allows the hospice nurse to institute stress-relieving activities early in the process. According to the Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project (2017), some symptoms that a nurse may experience include the following:

Isolating oneself; poor self-care (appearance, hygiene)
Repressed emotions; apathy; mentally/physically exhausted
Always finding blame with others; many complaints about job/administration
Substance abuse; compulsive behaviors (e.g., eating, spending, gambling)
In debt; legal problems; recurrent flashbacks/nightmares; chronic health problems
Problems concentrating; feeling preoccupied; denies problems
Compassion fatigue can affect an agency, if enough nurses suffer from the problem and nothing is done to assist them. It can cause problems between nurses and administrators, lead to high turnover and absenteeism, and lead to self-perpetuation. Organizations may exhibit these symptoms:

Poor teamwork; high absentee rates; continually changing coworker relationships
Challenging/breaking agency rules; aggression among staff members
Poor task/assignment completion; unable to meet deadlines; lack of flexibility
Negative feelings toward management; reluctance toward change
Poor vision of future; not able to believe that improvements can be made
(Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project, 2017)

Compassion fatigue is not isolated to hospice nurses. All nurses are susceptible to the effects. This may lead to higher rates of turnover and an increase in the nursing shortage as nurses leave the profession.

Often, caregivers experiencing compassion fatigue are unable to identify it in themselves.

Answer EACH question below:

1. What ways can you identify compassion fatigue in others?

2. What recommendations can you make to reduce compassion fatigue for yourself?

3. How can you transform your organization to reduce compassion fatigue?
