The study has an ethnographic approach in order to have a more personal perspective on the topic and focus less on numbers and statistics. The research data is collected through a series of interviews and participant observation. The partakers for the project were randomly selected through a self-selection sampling process. The participants were selected from UP at UGA, which is a student organization that provides resources or referrals to mom-students, and giving moms emotional support and friendship. I was unable to select moms outside of this organization due to the time limit of this project. I contacted the president of UP at UGA, Brenna about my project and she emailed all the moms that attend UP at UGA. Then she emailed me back the five moms’ contact information that were interested in participating in the study. The five student moms did not have a significant cultural background from each other or did not really mention their cultural …show more content…
I wanted to gain insight on what a mommy support group consist of and on the interactions between moms. The original proposal stated that I would complete the participant observation first before my interviews since it might allow the moms to open to me more during the interview. However, the first mommy support group I attempted to go to was canceled because none of the mothers was able to attend the meeting. Following that, I tried to attend their next meeting on 13 November 2016 but that was canceled because the masseuse had to call in sick. Consequently, I was unable to meet the mothers before the interviews. Furthermore, since it was a week before Thanksgiving Break and the end of the semester, the organization did not have any more mommy support group planned. Therefore, I had to deviate from my original plan. Instead of attending one of UP at UGA’s meeting, I participated in a meeting held by Athens Mothers’
Studies have been conducted and examined whether parent – child conflict during the middle childhood years varied among families and if conflict had an impact on children’s respect towards authority figures. Children’s behaviors in parent – child interactions , it has been shown that there is cultural differences in parents backgrounds and parents behaviors . Authoritarian parenting practices have been found, in many studies, to be more common among ethnic minorities, while not showing associated negative child outcomes typically found within American children raised within same parenting styles. (e.g. Garcia Coll et. Al., 1995).
The Moms.com negotiation has two roles: Kim Taylor as the buyer for WCHI (Independent television station in Chicago) and Terry Schiller as a syndicated sales representative for Hollyville, Inc. an international multimedia corporation that specializes in producing television shows and motion pictures. On this negotiation I played the role of Kim Taylor.
I choose to interview Mary from the Fresno City College child development center. Mary works with toddlers who are 2 years of age. While observing Mary with her students, I notice she was well organized and very attentive to her students, and they seem to respond very well to her. I also noticed that Mary has a lot of patients with her students and they love her. I also noticed while observing Mary, that she seems to deal each of the students differently according to what needs that need to be met and how each of the students learning is different. Mary is well organized and has a strategic schedule that she goes by.
During the semester, I was successful at completing the objective, of collaborating with peers, other professionals and families plan and implement culturally competent nursing care to childbearing families. I improved my skill of communicating with patients whose culture was different than mine; I did this by picking patients with a unique culture. For example, I would pick to work with a patient that didn’t speak the same language as me. This helped me with communicating with different groups and cultures. For example, if a mother or their family member spoke a different language than me, I wouldn’t not joke around with them as they have a different culture, and my joke may be translated differently or negatively. Unfortunately, that barrier
7/20/15, there was a report made the Department of Social services and the allegations were; Reporter states grandmother is watching child and maternal grandmother seems paranoid. Reporter states the family is not using air conditioning and the house is hot with a child. The maternal grandmother covers vents in house and she feels someone is listening. Maternal grandmother feels there are cameras in the fans. Reporter states the maternal grandmother was heard saying she will whoop the child’s ass about 2 months, unknown why she stated that. Reporter states maternal grandmother moved in February of this year. Reporter states maternal grandmother was living in Laurens County with her father. Reporter states maternal grandmother stated people have a hit out on her and family about a month ago. Reporter states
In this case, children will be involved; so many different parties will be included. I will need to apply to the Institutional Review Board (IRB), ask parent permission, and talk to the school site. As mentioned above, the demographic is based on students that came from Hispanic backgrounds and who are considered as Hispanic English Language Learners in the school system. Participants who do not have a Hispanic background and are not considered Hispanic English Language Learners will be excluded from the study. However, there might be a chance that a participant will not considered a Hispanic English Language Learner and will struggle in the classroom. During the debriefing, the participants and their parents will have the opportunity to hear about the different resources that are offered in the school and out in the community to help their child succeed in the
It also involves social context and behavior. At around 12 months the Attachment relationships are by insecure-avoidant and insecure-resistant types. Disorganized attachment is where the parent seems to be disconnected and dissociated with the infant. Parenting style and behavior tend to interfere with the children’s formation of attachment. Parental intrusiveness is a no contingent, verbal directives or physical behaviors in parents that constrain the children’s activities and behavior. In this study parents believed that discipline and control and child temperament had no significant correlation now were they correlated with attachment disorganization. Child gender did significantly show a higher disorganization for boys than girls negative intrusive parenting at age 6 months, parental belief in discipline and control at age 6 months, and child difficult temperament at age 6 months. Overall, Negative intrusive parenting did have an impact on attachment disorganization and children temperament. Negative intrusive parenting style can lead to provoke fear in young children which then reflects to the children being disorganized attachment as early as 6 months. Parenting style has a large effect on the child’s attachment and temperament as they grow older. Parenting strong belief in discipline and control could lead to a long term consolidate and stabilize negative
Step 1: In the case study, “Two Moms”, there are multiple problems brought up. The first problem is Denise, a student with two moms, is getting picked on by her classmates. The second problem is the teacher, Ms. Ribiero, is not sure how to bring up hard topics in her classroom, such as homosexuality, and the different ways families can look. The third problem is the backlash received from the parents.
Qualitative research provides advantages for studies that involve special populations, including those that are traditionally underrepresented in research and those with low literacy. Qualitative data collection methods through open ended interviews, may be more effective and less intimidating than surveys for those who have been marginalized in research in the past (Bower & Scambler 2007). For instance, the Qualitative Research for Immigrant populations. Immigrants, however, may have different cultural backgrounds and previous exposure to research. Commonly adopted research procedures, such as the informed consent process, may be culturally inappropriate for research with culturally diverse populations, and hence require cultural adaptations (Lu & Gatua 2014).
My resource family involved an adult woman known as Louiza. Louiza was a patient diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma disease. The first interview began by looking at the family situation, and the risks associated with the disease. The interview process was crucial in understanding the nature and lifestyle of the family. The sampling method reflected aspects of motivational interview questions designed to collect qualitative data. The data helped to ascertain the feelings of the subject toward the situation. The data collection exercise commenced with sending a notification alert to Louiza. The notification expressed my intention and permission to assess the health problem in the family. The notification note also requested
The goal for the mother is for her to learn to adjust to her children getting older and needing more independence. The first intervention is for the Sue to let her son gain more independence by enrolling him into social events that include other children in his age range so that he can learn have to interact with others. Ted will attend a social event with his peers once a week for 3 months that will be self-reported by Ted and his mother. Another intervention is for the mother to be more supportive of the daughter and to reduce her criticism. The mother will say something positive to her daughter once a day for seven days a week. The mother and the daughter will self-report the completion of this activities at every session for a total of
The purpose of the present study was to examine breastfeeding behaviors in women from different socioeconomic areas as well as how women experienced breastfeeding social networks. The findings of the study indicate that women from different socio-economic areas exhibit the same behaviors when breastfeeding in public. When in public areas, mothers’ tended to cover themselves and behave conservatively behaviors (e.g breastfed in private locations). while breastfeeding alone especially when around other people. Conversely, when women were with other women they knew, mothers’ were less inclined to cover their breasts and displayed relaxed behaviors. It appeared that women felt more comfortable when they were with other women they knew. It was also noted throughout the interviews that mothers’ felt inclined to cover themselves while breastfeeding. Although the mothers’ interviewed indicated they believed society was acceptant of breastfeeding, mothers also stated that society was still uncomfortable with public breastfeeding. Though no one had explicitly expressed being disturbed by their public breastfeeding, women reported experiencing nonverbal signs of social disapproval (e.g. stares). The only difference observed between mothers in the low socio-economic area and the mothers in the high socio-economic area was in regards to prevalence. Breastfeeding in public was observed more often in the high socio-economic area than in the low socio-economic area.
A phenomenological methodology has been encouraged in nursing and midwifery circles as the choice of scientific research (Crotty 1998: Lopez & Willis 2004). This is due to the researcher's mode of collecting the participants ‘life world’ or the ability to ‘identify a real-life issue’ as stated by Barnacle, 2004; Carpenter, as cited in Liamputtong 2017; Crotty 1998; Schneider, Whitehead, Elliott, LoBiondo-Wood and Haber 2007. The philosophical approach leads the researcher; the ability to interpret the participant's lived experience (Barnacle, 2004; Creswell, 2017; Crotty 1998; Lopez & Willis 2004). In relation to the research question: What are non- specialized registered nurses' perceptions of medication calculation practice in Paediatric
