The following is a short checklist regarding culturally determined values, attitudes, and beliefs, especially as they pertain to health care. Read each statement carefully, and then assign the number that most closely reflects your beliefs regarding each statement. You must choose 1 (mostly agree), 2 (somewhat agree), 3 (neutral), 4 (somewhat disagree), or 5 (mostly disagree) for each statement as it is written. This requires that you be as introspective as possible to determine where you stand on each of the issues presented. Please remember that no answer is right or wrong, but individual attitudes and beliefs influence response. By answering as honestly as possible, this exercise will help you be more conscious of your own culturally determined …show more content…
Add the number of 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s that you have. 2. How many statements do you have clear ideas (1s and 5s) about? For a majority of the statements, I have a firm opinion regarding a particular context about the subject: 17 mostly agree responses and 18 mostly disagree responses. 3. Do these outweigh the number of ambivalent (neutral) statements that you listed? Yes, the mostly agree and mostly disagree responses indeed outweigh the number of neutral responses I selected: 0. 4. Look at the statements that you agree with (1s and 2s). Is a relationship evident between the statements that influenced your responses (e.g., age of patient, patient …show more content…
Nurses have an ethical and professional responsibility to advocate for patient autonomy when patients are cognitively competent and to protect their well-being when they are deemed incapacitated. These are necessary professional roles concerning the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and respect for others. Virtue ethics is a form of deontology that adheres to the philosophy that humans have a duty (obligation) to themselves and others; moreover, to adhere to the ethical principles and perform virtuous actions and avoid vice. These cardinal virtues include wisdom, courage, temperance, justice, fortitude, generosity, self-respect, good-temper, and sincerity (Guido, 2001, pp. 33–38). Additionally, patients have the right to patient-centered care, privacy, be free from discrimination (culturally competent care), and prompt complaint resolution. It is imperative that nurses be familiar with the Code of Ethics for Nurses, along with ethical principles and employ these as guidelines for professional competence both inside and outside the areas of practice. 5. Look at the statements that you disagree with (4s and 5s). Is a relationship apparent between these statements that influenced your
Healthcare professionals have an ethical obligation to respect patient’s wishes. Consequently, many legal and ethical dilemmas arise in healthcare in response to clinical decisions related to the needs, beliefs, and preferences of patients and families. Other dilemmas result over concerns about the integrity, competence, or actions of other healthcare professionals. Preserving human dignity, relieving suffering, equality, integrity, and accountability are essential nursing values (Kangasniemi, Pakkanen, & Korhonen, 2015). Nurse leaders have an
Rate the following questions with respect to a scale from 0-7 (0-strongly disagree, 7-strongly agree)
Ethics and Morals play an important role in the nursing profession; nurses are confronted with choices to make every day, and some of them more challenging than others. Ethics are affirmations between what it can be right or erroneous. For our society ethics is presented as a complex system of principles and beliefs. This system serves as an approach with the purpose of ensuring the protection of each individual within the society. On the other hand, morals are basic standards between what is right or wrong; each individual learns to identify these standards during the early stages of human development (Catalano, 2009). A person with morals is usually somebody who recognizes how to respond to the needs of another individual by giving care and keeping a level of responsibility while giving this care (Catalano, 2009).
The survey revealed some general limitations of opinion polls. First, the results of the survey indicate the direction of people 's preferences but not their strength of preference. The survey does not
The answers to the questionnaire are of the Likert scale type so their answers are quantifiable. The six Likert answers being use are: strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, neutral, somewhat agree, agree and strongly agree. As there are six possible answers to each question and three Likert-style questions, the lowest possible score is a 3 and the highest is an 18. Scores above a 12 on the questionnaire will indicate a positive effect.
1. Three Ways to Respond The three most common and recognizable ways to respond are to: Agree Disagree Agree and disagree simultaneously Doing so will allow your reader to place your response on a mental map of familiar choices.
What evidence does the author provide that supports or contradicts each of the three hypotheses?
The Likert scale, a variation of the summated rating scale, is used to measure a participant’s attitude towards statements as either favorable or unfavorable (Cooper & Schindler, 2014, p.278). In this particular problem, my opinion of the educational degree program in which I am enrolled will be evaluated. Five response categories are being used in the survey, which includes Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither Agree or Disagree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. Each response will be valued with a number from 1-5, reflecting the degree of a participant’s positive or negative attitude. Normally, Strongly Agree (SA) represents the most positive attitude and has a scale value of 5, but there is an exception to this criterion if the statement is worded negatively. For example, questions a, d, and f below are considered to be negative statements. If a negative statement occurs, assigned numerical values are reversed to ensure consistent results, whereas a scale value of 5 represents the most negative attitude and a value of 1 is most positive (p. 278). Likert scales produce ordinal data, but not all in the world of research believe that these scales are used correctly. Some researchers/experts believe that ordinal data does not produce mean values as normal practice would suggest. As a result of this belief, drawn conclusions from Likert scales are skeptical in their minds and should be evaluated with caution.
On analysis, the results show that opinions are generally mixed, however agree was (on of) the most frequent choice(s)
Consent was obtained and the questionnaire completed as part of participation in the CFP psychology class. Data collected consisted of gender designation and the 10 item questionnaire responses The instructions at the top of the questionnaire indicated each participant to choose which letter(s) best represent their feelings in terms of how strongly they agreed or disagreed with each statement. Participants were to not consult with others and work fairly quickly. The questionaries should have taken a maximum of five minutes to complete as participants were asked to choose the first answer that comes to mind.
For example, “Please choose how strongly you agree with the statement: My parents imposed Republican values on me throughout my childhood. 1 = Extremely Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, 5 = Agree.”
The study also identified that 18.7 percent of respondents agreed, 42.7 percent of respondents strongly agreed and 38.7 percent of respondents very strongly agreed with the statement.
