Individual Success Plan (ISP)
Details:
Planning is the key to successful completion of this course and your overall program of study. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment in this course requires your collaboration with the course faculty and your Course Mentor early on to establish a plan for successful completion of mutually identified and agreed upon specific deliverables to meet your course requirements. Course requirements include: (1) completion of work associated with weekly course objectives, (2), completion of required practice immersion hours, and (3) work associated toward completion of your Capstone Project.
To ensure successful completion of this assignment, follow the information/steps below:
To develop your ISP, access the “Individual Success Plan” resource in the Topic Materials. Complete the Contact Information table at the top of the resource and type in your signature and the date you complete this table.
Read the information in the ISP document, including a) student expectations, b) derivation of the ISP, and c) instructions for completing the ISP, and then follow the instructions and complete the ISP.
Review the course objectives (each topic) to determine which practice-based experiences you plan to seek to ensure to address each course objective. Include the number of hours you plan to set aside to meet your goals. Students should apply concepts from each of their core courses completed prior to this course to reflect upon, critically examine, and improve their current practice. Students are further required to integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.
Use the Individual Success Plan to develop a personal plan for completing your practice hours and how objectives will be met. Show all of the major assignments or approved independent study assignments based on the course objectives.
As you develop your Individual Success Plan, consider the challenges you expect to encounter as you continue the practice hour and competency requirements throughout this course. How might you overcome these challenges? You can renegotiate these deliverables with your faculty and mentor throughout this course and update your ISP accordingly.

Capstone Project Topic Selection and Approval
Details
In collaboration with your approved course mentor, you will choose a specific evidence-based practice proposal topic for the Capstone Project. Consider the clinical environment in which you are currently working or have recently worked. The Capstone Project topic can be a clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a quality improvement suggestion, a leadership initiative, or an educational need appropriate to your area of interest as well as your practice immersion (practicum) setting. A combination of 100 “supervised clinical hours” in community health and leadership areas will be obtained through the application of the objectives listed in the “Guidelines for Undergraduate Field Experiences” manual and as captured in the ISP.
Practicum immersion experiences are required in a community health setting. Community health and leadership practice immersion can occur in the same site and in conjunction with the evidence-based project in the NRS-490V course. Definitions of community-based settings should encourage community integration and involvement; expand accessibility of services and supports; promote personal preference, strengths, dignity; and empower people to participate in the economic mainstream. Examples of the integration of community health, leadership, and an EBP can be found at Healthy People 2020.
The goals of the practice immersion experience is to apply the learning from your research, community health, and leadership courses:
After studying this course, you should be able to:
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of factors to consider when planning to work with a chosen community.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of approaches that will facilitate engagement of the community.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge and skills required to work constructively with communities.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge related to engagement of organizational leadership and change agents.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge related to disseminating project findings/data with organizational leadership and change agents.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge related to completing an evidence-based project to impact population health outcomes.
Demonstrate and apply Healthy People 2010/2020 principles related to completing an evidence-based project to impact population health outcomes.
According to Healthy People.gov, educational and community-based programs and strategies are designed to reach people outside of traditional health care settings. These settings may include:
Schools
Worksites
Health care facilities
Communities
Each setting provides opportunities to reach people using existing social structures. This maximizes impact and reduces the time and resources necessary for program development.
In a composition of no more than 750 words, describe the nature of your proposed project topic. Include the following in your discussion:
The setting or context in which the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need can be observed.

Discuss the strengths and weakness of nomothetic and ideographic approaches to understanding human personality.

/in /by

The essay title is Discuss the strengths and weakness of nomothetic and ideographic approaches to understanding human personality.
Human personality is a broad and varied subject in which there are many different theories and answers to different questions. In psychology, a variety of research has been done over time to understand this topic in more detail. When researching into this, there are many different ways in which psychologists can approach the topic of human personality. The nomothetic and ideographic approaches are two commonly used methods. The ideograph approach to personality looks at how each individual possess unique different psychological structures. Every individual has certain personality traits, or a combination of, in which makes them unique. On the other hand, the nomothetic approach to personality looks at the indivuals and the similarities that they have between them. It is assumed that personality traits that are studied have the same psychological effect for everyone.
One nomothetic approach to psychology is the trait theory. This looks at how a dimension of personality can be used to categorise different indivuals using their different characteristics otherwise known as traits. The trait theory looks at how personality differ on a small basic set of linear scales and classifies what these scales are. They use measures to help predict behaviour. The nomothetic approach to personality is a good way at helping to describe individual difference in personality. However, this approach does not always provide an explanation as to why certain indivuals have different personality traits. It is important to look at what causes the behaviour and making sure to distinguish between the behaviour itself and the personality trait.

Instructions:
Begin engaging in a discussion and continue to interact frequently with your colleagues through Sunday by expanding on a colleague’s strategy for creating culturally sensitive and appropriate partnerships. Please respond to 2 collegues
Collegue#1 DISC
Sister to Sister
Sister to Sister is a brief 20-minute, one-on-one, skill-based HIV/sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk-reduction behavioral intervention for sexually active African American women between the ages of 18 to 45. This intervention is delivered through the course of routine medical visit. The main idea of this program is to provide intensive, culturally sensitive health information to empower and educate women. It also strives to help women understand the various behaviors that put them at risk for HIV and other STDs. The program also enhances women’s knowledge, beliefs, confidence and skills to help reduce their risk for STDs, especially HIV (“Sister to Sister”, 2018).
Cultural Appropriateness and Relevance to the Population.
The original program was designed for African American women, but has since branched out and is for high-risk sexually active women 18-45 years old who have a male partner and attend a primary health care clinic. Based on the research results from the CDC, compared with women in the control group, women in the skills-building interventions reported reduced HIV risk-associated sexual behavior, reduced frequency of sexual intercourse, reduced unprotected sexual intercourse, fewer sex partners, using condoms more often, but no effect on social desirability of condom use. The intervention research was statistically significant and was effective in terms of cultural appropriateness sand relevance to the population (“Sister to Sister”, 2018).
Culturally Appropriate Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Strategies
Community based participatory research (CBPR) recognizes that an outsider (e.g. researcher) can work best with community partners, who themselves are experts. To make this intervention more culturally appropriate and a community based participatory research, one could collaborate with leaders in the African American community and leaders in women’s health to earn the trust of African American women so that they will engage more receptively to the program and will follow through on completing the program. We should reach out to the community members and identify if HIV infection rates are a major concern for them to help getting them thinking about the pathology prior to establishing or implementing an intervention (Rhodes, Duck, Alonzo, Ulloa & Aronson, 2013).

COLLEGUE#2 DISC
Description of the intervention you chose.
The intervention program I chose was CLEAR: Choosing Life: Empowerment! Action! Results! This is a male & female sexual behavior intervention program for HIV/AIDS individuals , age 16 years and up. The program consists of five core value improvements; emotional constraint, self-esteem improvement, personal goal targeting, critical thinking development, and communicational and behavioral (U.S. Center for Disease Control, 2018).
Explain whether the intervention as described was effective in terms of cultural appropriateness and relevance to the population.
According to the program informational literature, this was a culturally effective intervention. The statistics given were that condom use among youth, overall, increased by 36% and condom use among HIV-negative partners increased by 41%. As far as culturally relevant and appropriate, I can’t think of a better demographic, a culture influenced by raging hormones, alcohol, and/or drugs (U.S. Center for Disease Control, 2018). With regards to efficacy, the stats are very impressive for this amount of behavioral change for this demographic.
Explain culturally appropriate community based participatory research (CBPR) strategies you might use to make the intervention more culturally appropriate and explain why you chose these strategies.
I feel that using social media and thinking regionally could have a great positive impact on this type of intervention, especially given the demographics (School of Public Health: UC Berkley, 2012). These CBPR strategies could have a quicker adaptation and implementation for the successful outcome on a broader scale.

Questions on Collegue#2 DISCUSSION
Thank you for your post on CLEAR. It seems like a very effective program that has the potential to assist many people. You mentioned that using social media would have a positive impact on the participants. Could you provide an example of how social media would positively influence participants? Social media is sometimes frowned upon and there are some that argue that there is nothing positive that results from its use. I was wondering what methods do you think would help the target audience from using social media as a platform.
