I have written a research paper that I need help with writing the GENERAL DISCUSSION. Please read the documents I will share with you carefully and make sure to understand it before you write the general discussion. I have high expectations.

To write the General Discussion, I will share with you a document. YOU MUST READ MY RESEARCH PAPER CAREFULLY! I am looking for accuracy and quality here. You have to report specific findings and write a thoughtful 2-page general discussion. I will share the document and guidelines with you once you feel competent to do this kind of work and place the bid. Otherwise, please do not.

Here is a review of General Discussion Essentials:

Discussion

GENERAL INTENT

The objective here is to provide an interpretation of your results and support for all of your conclusions, using evidence from your experiment and generally accepted knowledge, if appropriate. The significance of findings should be clearly described.

WRITING A DISCUSSION

Interpret your data in the discussion in appropriate depth. This means that when you explain a phenomenon you must describe mechanisms that may account for the observation. If your results differ from your expectations, explain why that may have happened. If your results agree, then describe the theory that the evidence supported. It is never appropriate to simply state that the data agreed with expectations, and let it drop at that.

• Decide if each hypothesis is supported, rejected, or if you cannot make a decision with confidence. Do not simply dismiss a study or part of a study as “inconclusive.”
• Research papers are not accepted if the work is incomplete. Draw what conclusions you can based upon the results that you have, and treat the study as a finished work
• You may suggest future directions, such as how the experiment might be modified to accomplish another objective.
• Explain all of your observations as much as possible, focusing on mechanisms.
• Decide if the experimental design adequately addressed the hypothesis, and whether or not it was properly controlled.
• Try to offer alternative explanations if reasonable alternatives exist.
• One experiment will not answer an overall question, so keeping the big picture in mind, where do you go next? The best studies open up new avenues of research. What questions remain?
• Recommendations for specific papers will provide additional suggestions.

Style:

• When you refer to information, distinguish data generated by your own studies from published information or from information obtained from other students (verb tense is an important tool for accomplishing that purpose).
• Refer to work done by specific individuals (including yourself) in past tense.
• Refer to generally accepted facts and principles in present tense. For example, “Doofus, in a 1989 survey, found that anemia in basset hounds was correlated with advanced age. Anemia is a condition in which there is insufficient hemoglobin in the blood.”

The biggest mistake that people make in discussions is to present a superficial interpretation that more or less re-states the results. It is necessary to suggest why results came out as they did, focusing on the mechanisms behind the observations.

Assignment: Theories and Social Influences in Women’s Health

This week you considered some of the biological and social differences between females and males, as well as the need for a gender specific course in the subject. Whether or not you think it is necessary or appropriate to have a separate course in women and health, it is important to be aware that there are issues, social influences, and theories specific to women’s health.

For this Assignment, you explore some of the theories and social influences related to women’s health and some of your own interests in the area. Select two issues in women’s health in which you are interested and consider how they are conceptualized in the theory or social influence that most resonates with you.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

• Explain the theory or social influence that best captures your current beliefs about women and health.
• Describe two issues in women’s health in which you are interested and explain how they are conceptualized in the theory or social influence you chose.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

Assessment Instructions

Instructions

Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way as to help you build specific skills that you will use throughout your program. Complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

Your evaluation plan design will be the forth section of your final project submission. The goal for this is to finalize the outcomes that your plan is seeking to achieve and to create a plan to evaluate the degree to which those outcomes were achieved after your intervention plan has been implemented. This will allow you and your care setting to determine the degree to which the plan was successful in addressing the identified need of your target population and setting.

You will also discuss ways in which your role allows you to lead change and drive quality improvement, and to potentially improve the project in the future. In addition, you will reflect on how the project will leave you better prepared for success in other aspects of your current and future career. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your implementation plan design and discussion will be able to provide substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the final draft of your project.

At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and the Guiding Questions: Evaluation Plan Design document (linked in the Resources) to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. In addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction that refreshes the reader’s memory about your problem statement, your planned intervention, and how you intended to implement your intervention (this should only be a single paragraph).

Reminder: these instructions are an outline. Your heading for this this section should be Evaluation of Plan and not Part 1: Evaluation of Plan.

Part 1: Evaluation of Plan

• Define the outcomes that are the goal of an intervention plan.
• Create an evaluation plan to determine the impact of an intervention for a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need.

Part 2: Discussion

Advocacy

• Analyze the nurse’s role in leading change and driving improvements in the quality and experience of care.
• Explain how the intervention plan affects nursing and interprofessional collaboration, and how the health care field gains from the plan.

Future Steps

• Explain how the current project could be improved upon to create a bigger impact in the target population as well as to take advantage of emerging technology and care models to improve outcomes and safety.

Reflection on Leading Change and Improvement

• Reflect on how the project has impacted your ability to lead change in personal practice and future leadership positions.
• Reflect on the ways in which the completed intervention, implementation, and evaluation plans can be transferred into your personal practice to drive quality improvement in other contexts.

The purpose of this Final Project Assignment is for you to recognize human development and outcomes (e.g., developmental constructs, processes, milestones, and stages) through the lifespan of an influential person. You will describe this person’s development through cognitive, physical, and social-emotional processes at various key periods, and how his or her development is influenced by nature (genetics), nurture (environment), or both.

For this Final Project Assignment, you will read a biography about an individual of your choosing. Think about leaders, artists, composers, researchers, professors, and otherwise influential people, etc. The person you choose should be someone who has had an impact (positive or negative) on others and/or on society.

This Final Project Assignment is a 6- to 8-page paper composed of three parts. These parts include: the Summary during Week 2, Part 1 during Week 7, and the Final Project submission during Week 10. Note: It is recommended that you begin reviewing the biography you chose starting at Week 2 and plan your time accordingly.

For this week, you will review the Final Project Assignment Overview document and consider an influential person you would like to learn more about.

To prepare for this Final Project Assignment:

• Review the Final Project Assignment Overview document found in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Select a biography, not an autobiography, of an influential person. Your selection must be one person and not a group of individuals.
• The biography should be written for adults and not children and cover the entire life of the individual.
• You must use an actual hardcover/paperback book or ebook (Note: Using biography.com or other websites as primary sources of information is not acceptable).
• You must include at least two theories from this course in your Final Project Assignment and discuss at least two of the three developmental processes (cognitive, physical, and social-emotional).
