Annotated Bibliography Template with Instructions 18Apr22 .docx

Please make sure to select articles for this assignment that you plan to use in your Applied Project. This assignment supports the research process and, by default, the final project deliverable.

Background and Review for the assignment:

Annotated Bibliography (AB)

An AB is, in short, an explanatory list of citations to books, articles, and documents that have the purpose of serving as a reference to an author or researcher while they are in the writing or researching process. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

AB versus an Abstract

You may ask, what is the difference between an AB and an abstract. Michael Engle from Cornell University notes the difference as follows: Abstract is a descriptive summary of an article that is placed at the beginning of an article written by the authors. AB, on the other hand, have a descriptive nature as well. However, the key difference is that AB holds the purpose of providing a critical review of the article written by someone else. It can take a different viewpoint and serve as a method to categorize articles to support the writing process.

Instructions for this assignment:

1. Select FIVE articles/publications that are high on your list of references to use in your Literature Review.

2. Review the attached template that should be used for this assignment. You will see that each article (of the 5) will take 3 sections (squares) each as there are corresponding parts for each square. The first three sections on the template provide explanation on how to use the template. The next 3 provides an example to illustrate the explanation.

3. When you are ready to begin, you can save this word document template in a format similar to “Your.Name_HCR593_Ann.Biblio_Date” and delete the instructions from the version that you will submit for the assignment (example, delete the example and the explanation and instructions).

4. Then complete the sections for FIVE (5) articles or sources needed for your Applied Project.

5. As a reminder, the articles you select to use usually should meet the following criteria: (1) peer reviewed, (2) published and (3) published within the last 5 years. There may be some cases where it may be older than 5 years. For example, if you are using a source to explain the foundation of a theory or historical portion of your Applied Project, then more than 5 years ago can suffice. You must, however, use articles less than 5 years when supporting the gap (i.e. need) that your applied project is trying to fill in the literature. If you have questions, please reach out to Prof Barb.

6. The submission will be the annotated bibliography for FIVE (five) articles you critically reviewed.

SOWK 631 Assignment

Theory, Research, and Evidence-Based Practice Paper
Assignment Overview
Social work practitioners can no longer rely solely on their desire to help as the primary criterion for effective intervention. Contemporary professional practice requires the ability to demonstrate that interventions are effective for specific problems and client populations. One method for evaluating the effectiveness of a theory or intervention model is to examine how it has been applied with different client populations (e.g., children, adolescents, adults, older adults) and in addressing specific social or behavioral problems.
For this assignment, students will select one social work or human behavior theory studied throughout the MSW program and examine empirical research that evaluates its effectiveness with a specific problem or child welfare population.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
* Cognitive theory in the treatment of depression
* Behavioral theory in the treatment of school phobia
* Ego psychology in the treatment of marital dysfunction
* Self-psychology in the treatment of individuals with borderline personality disorder

Purpose of the Assignment
This paper allows students to demonstrate their ability to:
* Distinguish, appraise, and integrate multiple sources of knowledge
* Critically evaluate research-based evidence and practice wisdom
* Apply Human Behavior theories to guide assessment and intervention
* Examine theory through the lens of evidence-based practice (EBP)
Students are encouraged to re-familiarize themselves with theories learned in Human Behavior and the Social Environment and Psychopathology courses, such as:
* Cognitive Behavioral Theory
* Brief Solution-Focused Theory
* Attachment Theory
* Ego Psychology
* Racial Identity Theory
* Trauma-Informed Theories

PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW

Assignment Requirements
This assignment does not require a comprehensive review of all studies conducted on a given theory. Instead, students are expected to:
* Locate several peer-reviewed empirical studies
* Summarize each study’s purpose, methodology, sample, and findings
* Evaluate the strengths and limitations of the research
* Make critical evaluative comments regarding the theory’s effectiveness based on the literature
Students may find that there is limited or inconclusive evidence supporting the effectiveness of the selected theory. This is acceptable, provided conclusions are supported by the literature.
Students should consult literature beyond social work, including:
* Psychology
* Counseling
* Psychiatry
Recommended databases include:
* PsycINFO
* MEDLINE
* Social Work Abstracts

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Integration
Because evidence-based practice requires the integration of:
1. Best available research evidence
2. Clinical expertise
3. Client values and circumstances
Students must include a discussion of how these EBP components align or conflict with the empirical studies reviewed.

Paper Specifications
* Length: 6–8 pages (excluding title page, references, and appendices)
* Formatting:
* Typed, double-spaced
* Times New Roman, 12-point font
* One-inch margins

Discussion Topic: **** NOTE DUE DATE: Module 1: Discussion Board 1 – Introductions**** NOTE DUE DATE: Module 1: Discussion Board 1 – Introductions

Welcome all!  We will be using the discussion boards (DB) to share progress, challenges, and barriers as you go through your applied project. A few reminders about DBs: 1. just like progress notes in this class, no DBs will be accepted late; 2. Note that three (3) peer posts are required for full credit rather than 2 (which is typical in most past courses in the program).

  • The initial post for DB1 – Wednesday, January 14 by 11:59 pm (AZ time)
  • Three (3) Peer responses for DB1 – due on Saturday, January 17th by 11:59 pm (AZ time)
  • Note that Discussion Board primary and associated peer posts, respectively, will NOT be accepted late in this course. There are only four total in this course, so mark your calendar accordingly!

Discussion Board 1: 

Part 1: Let’s hear your story…

1. (Any part of this is fine; it does not have to be all of it.) Where do you work (if you do), and what do you do? OR What has been your experience with regulatory science / regulatory affairs AND/OR what do you plan to do in the field (your hopes and dreams)?

Part 2: Create a collage of pictures that tell “your current story”. Helps us know who you are – See mine as an example!

Part 3: Create one to two sentences (so very brief overview) of your project idea. All the years I have been lucky enough to work with Applied Project, I see as many unique project ideas as I do students. However, I do see topic “trends” – lets see how many trends we have in this class! 🙂

HCR 593- Apply Project

Module 1: Applied Project Proposal Overview
You will be submitting a proposal for your applied project for approval by faculty. Approval must be granted before the end of week 3.
 This is not some draconian method of weeding out grad students — it is our way of helping you clearly define your aim and research questions for a project that is both valuable, doable and achievable in the timeframe. 
 A proposal is a design of a project – whether for formal research, directed reading, a public opinion project, or an educational unit.
In each case, the proposal should cover 3 things:
  • identification of the subject matter.
  • a statement of an initial main point, working thesis, or purpose, research question
  • some background to support the “need”/”gap” for this project currently
  • list of sources that can be used.
The clearer and fuller a design you have at this early stage, the easier it will be to complete work in the longer run.  Use your judgment when filling out the Applied Project Proposal, and feel free to check in with faculty who could help guide you in making this plan.
 Students who have successfully finished their Applied projects often write that along with proactive diligence and flexible adaptation to uncontrollable variables, the key to Applied success lies in the prompt development of a clear and detailed project Proposal. Many are wondering: “what topic should I pick?”  Maybe there is an ongoing or upcoming project at work in that you can develop or implement; possibly there was a topic during the master’s program that you wanted to learn more about; possibly a hot health issue or a cool policy topic that you have an opinion about or want to poll others to get a sense of what a population is thinking about – there are endless possibilities for your project! If you are stuck and need an idea, we are more than happy to brainstorm with you. Extra effort now will considerably smooth your project progress, so develop this document with care, and be as specific as possible throughout this formal delineation of your project and its where, why, what, how, and when.
Instructions
Formatting:
The preliminary proposal should be formatted as follows:
  • Typed, single-spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
  • 11 or 12 point font or less
  • Arial, Helvetica, or Times font.
  • The length of a paragraph should be less than one-half page.
Style:
Style is equally as important as content. It is critical to write clearly and concisely and pay close attention to grammar and spelling. Avoid colloquialisms and slang. Avoid careless mistakes. The proposal should be well-written and proofread carefully. Poorly written proposals will be returned for revision.
Tone:
The proposal should be written in a serious and matter-of-fact tone, as you find in a peer-reviewed journal article. Refrain from stating personal opinions or any personal narrative outside of the personal statement.
As you prepare your applied project proposal, using the provided template, think about the following including all of the following:
1) Project Definition:
Provide a one-sentence description that defines your project. Save the specifics for the sections below; here, simply label the big picture. Start thinking of terms/acronyms that you may need to define.
2) Project Setting:
Clarify the location and the most relevant background there – the “where” – of your proposed project. Clearly specify the “arena” for this project. As appropriate (different project types involve differing ranges of external contact), include mention of any key agencies, departments, and/or parties involved. If your project is primarily analytical (e.g. analyzing an organization, a group, a process, a body of rhetoric or literature, etc.), specify the genres and types of research materials you will be exploring.
3) Project Relevance and Rationale:
Identify the main issues that you have chosen to address and justify their importance – the “why” of your project. Clarify the problem, or “opportunity,” at the setting named above, and explain the relevance of addressing this problem or opportunity.
4) Project Objectives:
State your targeted outcomes for this project – the “what” – of your project.  What, exactly, are you going to acquire, accomplish, produce, and/or deliver? Note that the broader goals (e.g. “to improve communication between departments”) are identified earlier, under “Relevance.” By contrast, in this section you must name the specific and concrete – if possible, measurable – accomplishments (external and personal) intended of your project.
5) Project Methodology:
Describe your proposed game plan – the “how” – through which you plan to obtain the outcomes described above.  That is, how will you go about accomplishing the objectives you defined in the previous section?  Provide an overview of your planned approach to reaching your stated objectives, and also list any essential resources (material and human!) you will need in order to succeed.  Be clear on how and when (during this project or at a later time) your project will be implemented. Also, include a specific manner of project evaluation. How will you determine your level of success? What will you measure? Whose evaluative input will you seek?

SOCW 6111 week 2

Discussion 1: Informed Consent

Informed consent means that a social worker or another professional will not intervene in a client’s life or release confidential information about him unless that client has freely consented
— Dolgoff, Harrington, & Loewenberg, 2012, p. 160

Social workers are bound by the NASW Code of Ethics (2008) to provide informed consent with every client. A signed informed consent form protects the client and the social worker. It exemplifies the profession’s respect for its clients, allows for self-determination, and is the cornerstone of good social work practice. Sometimes, though, reporting of confidential information is mandated by law.

By Day 3

Post a description of the importance of confidentiality when working with your client. How does the principle of confidentiality impact the therapeutic relationship? Then, explain your understanding of mandated reporting and how it empowers vulnerable populations.

Support your posts with specific references to this week’s resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references

By Day 5

Respond to at least two colleagues, using personal experience or research to expand on his or her post.

Support your responses with specific references to this week’s resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

 

Discussion 2: Dual-Role Relationships

Consider this scenario:

You receive a hotline call at your mental health agency from a client requesting a same-day appointment. You are the only social worker available to work with clients at the time, as your coworker is out of town on vacation for 10 days. A 15-year-old boy struggling with depression (no suicidal ideation) and addiction calls asking for help. While you are gathering information over the phone, you realize that he happens to be the son of a friend. Do you continue the process, planning on providing him with services, or do you refer him to another mental health clinic that is over 30 miles away? Do you make him wait until your coworker returns? Do you contact his parents and tell them he called?

In certain geographical areas there may be limited resources and in turn a lack of opportunities for clients to obtain assistance. In some rural or otherwise isolated areas there might be situations that make it difficult to maintain ideal boundaries due to dual-role relationships. Dual-role relationships exist when a professional fills multiple roles at the same time, a situation that may be unavoidable in certain circumstances.

Understanding the significant impact of a dual-role relationship with a client is important in order to avoid harming the client. Further, recognizing the impact on the client and the relationship will assist in the creation of strong professional boundaries. In these situations, a social worker might feel his or her ability to maintain these boundaries is compromised or may even experience a value dilemma due to the existence of dual-role relationships.

Consider the importance of boundaries in a therapeutic relationship. Think about ways a social worker might violate the NASW Code of Ethics as it pertains to dual-role relationships. Is there ever a situation in which dual-role relationships are acceptable, or even preferable?

By Day 4

Post an explanation of how you might respond to the situation with the 15-year-old boy on the hotline. Include ways your decision may impact the client. Support your position with references to this week’s resources, professional experience, and additional research. How will you address a possible dual-role relationship?

Support your posts with specific references to this week’s resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

By Day 6

Respond to at least two colleagues by explaining how your colleague’s decision contradicts or supports the NASW Code of Ethics as it pertains to dual-role relationships. In addition, provide a suggestion for how your colleague might balance the needs of the client while maintaining the NASW Code of Ethics regarding dual-role relationships.

Support your responses with specific references to this week’s resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Michael Smith RE: Discussion 1 – Week 2COLLAPSE

According to Kirst-Ashman & Hull, (2018), “Confidentiality is the ethical principal that workers should not share information provided by a client or about a unless that worker has the client’s explicit permission to do so (pg.426) While it seems like a simple concept confidentiality entails much more complexity and requires deeper understanding. Workers need to understand the concept of confidentiality to avoid soliciting unnecessary information while at the same time informing clients of the restrictions with respect to policy and law (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2018). The therapeutic relationship can be impacted by confidentiality in either a positive or negative way depending on how confidentiality is handled within the agency. By protecting the privacy of clients, practitioners can enhance client trust and client/worker communication. Throughout the process of development, studies show that situations can occur within an individual’s environment which have potential to alter-development and in fact cause digression. As a former Child Abuse Investigator for Arkansas Department of Children and Family Services I have a complete understanding of the purpose of mandated reporting and I am fully aware of its value in protecting marginalized populations. For a long time, Arkansas has led the country in the number of children coming into Foster care. Not only does mandated reporting help in ensuring that the health and safety needs of alleged victims are protected but promises that the families are assessed and services are rendered to improve the family’s quality of life. These services ensure that children can remain in the home or aide in making reunification possible.

Nakesha Morgan RE: Discussion 1 – Week 2COLLAPSE

Week 2 Discussion 1 Ethics, Confidentiality and Informed Consent

The importance of confidentality when working with clients is to protect individuals information and or personal documents.  Some information that is expressed from clients can be sensitive and having confidentiality while displaying ethical behavior.  It helps to gain relationships with clients and personal relationships.

Having signed consent from clietns regarding their information being released to other professionals is very important.  Making sure that consents and other information that need to be shared with clients should happen during initial meeting.  The signed consent protects the clients and the worker.  It will be considered a great social work practice (Mattison, 2018).

As it comes to confidentiality and being a mandated reporter some exceptions has to be made as it relates to children and elder clients.  It is considered legally to report any suspicion or neglect/abuse to children and elders within this vulnerable population.  It is still important to protect the clients confidential communications and documentation to certain extents.

As social workers it is a need to understand the confidentiality concept and also avoiding information that doesn’t need to be disclosed. Clients are informed of the restrictions as it reflects to the laws and policies that are put in place (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2008).

Discussion 2

Michael Smith RE: Discussion 2 – Week 2

According to Kirst-Ashman & Hull, (2018), “Dual Relationships occur when professionals assume two or more roles at the same time or sequentially with a client (pg.452). Due to the boundary issues created by establishing multiple relationships the Social Work Code of Ethics standard 1.06c prevents Social Workers from engaging in relationships with clients or former clients which presents the potential to cause harm (Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H. 2018). I reside in a rural area so I completely understand the struggle with boundaries, confidentiality and dual relationships mainly to the lack of resources within the area. Another issue that I have observed growing up in a small area is that standards of confidentiality are not the same. Many people feel that personal affairs are the affairs of the community since everyone knows one another on a more intimate level. According to Gonyea, Wright, & Kulkosky, (2014), “For many residents, this closeness is positive and helps build identity and sense of belonging to that community in terms of Us versus Them. Therefore, residents of rural areas are often hesitant to seek services from an outsider because they are not to be trusted, which can lead to multiple levels of personal and professional relationships. Further, persons from rural areas may resent an outsider offering assistance (pg.126)

As it relates to the discussion, had I taken the crisis call of the 15-year-old boy despite being knowledgeable of the client’s family or being connected in anyway I would have continued to dialogue through the helping process, because by not doing so it would most likely cause more harm than good to the teenager. The underlying purpose of the field education experience is to enhance both my knowledge and understanding of the nine core competencies of the profession (Garthwait, 2017).The NASW Code of Ethics governs ethical decision making and, in this case, I would refer to both 1.06 Conflict of Interest and 1.07 Privacy & Confidentiality (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2018). Faced with this ethical dilemma I would gather all the pertinent information possible before consulting with my supervisor with the hope that a referral could be made.

Premise:  You show up for work in a new organization or “parachute” into the organization (often knowing little about the organization).  This analytical paper describes how you observe and orient in this new environment to more fully understand the organization’s behavior.

In addition to the grading guidelines above… You should address the deeper currents of culture as well as howprocesses and mission drive behavior.  You should address your place in this organization (from which perspective are you writing), not merely from a “job description” perspective, but from at the individual and group levels of analysis.  While not limited to these topics, your paper should also address leadership, motivation, communications, and ethics.  In addition to incorporating a wide variety of specific OB distinctions from the course, the paper must analyze (not merely describe) the organization’s behavior from each zoom level:individual, group, organization, and inter-organizational. 

 

 

 

Other than the format guidelines in this syllabus, how you clearly format this paper is up to you.  You might be effective in first-person or third-person.  The paper requires you to think deeply about OB in a specific organization.  There is no required formula to accomplish this assignment.

 

 

 

This is a final paper and should draw upon and synthesize concepts, distinctions, and major themes from the entire course.  You may use an organization you have experience with or research one where you would like to work.  Ideally, from reading this paper, I should have the experience of being there with you and gain a valuable understanding of this organization.  Another way to look at this paper is as the document which uncovers the currents of organizational behavior in a methodical way.  The exercise of writing this paper provides you with a template for analyzing your next organization’s behavior, to avoid organizational pitfalls, and more quickly make a valuable contribution.

 

The papers must be typed (12 point font) in Times New Roman Font; double-spaced (unless otherwise noted), with one inch margins, and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper.

 

Use the OB concepts from the book as many as you can. The paper must analyze (not merely describe) the organization’s behavior from each zoom level: individual, group, organization, and inter-organizational.  Textbook:  Robbins, S.P. and Judge, T.A. 2012.
