Recruitment And Selection Process

It is apparent that age discrimination is prevalent in today’s society within health care. This section will further explore ageism and provide ways to overcome it. According to Potter and Perry (2014) ageism is defined as “discrimination against people because of increasing age” (p. 376). Ageism has the ability to undermine self-confidence in older adults, limit their access to care, and even distort health care providers’ understanding of the uniqueness of each older adult. The Canadian Special Senate Committee on Aging has concluded that ageism in Canada is delicate and pervasive and immediate action is required (Potter & Perry, 2014). Ageism can result in over- treatment or under-treatment. For example, over-treatment can include “overuse

We will look into the KSAOs model as an assessment of recruitment selection process for the position of Administrative

Health care disparities in the United States occur on the provider level. The implicit biases providers are susceptible to help shape physician behavior and produce differences in medical treatment across a host of demographic characteristics but mainly along the lines of race and ethnicity. This paper focuses mainly on the relationship between providers and Black Americans. There is a complex and historical relationship between providers and Black Americans which dates back to the 16th century that is the basis for the biases physicians exhibit towards this particular minority group in today’s healthcare system. Contrary to popular belief, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study in 1932 is not the forerunner to a host of medical abuses committed against

According to the Administration on Aging, people age 65 and older currently represent 12.9% of the population of the United States as of 2009, with that number expected to double in the next 15 years (Administration on Aging, 2014). Along with the continued rise in the population of older adults comes an increased need for services specifically addressing the needs of this population. Despite the increasing needs for services for older adults, seniors are among the most overlooked and underserved populations in the United States.

In 1978, the Medical program of the University of California had a dual admission’s program, one fore regular students and one for minority’s. The applicants for the minorities did not have to meet the standards that the regular admissions did. The special program was offered to African Americans, American Indians, Asians, and Espanics, but no white students were admitted. When Allan Bakke, a white male, submitted his application, he was rejected

Racial categories play a significant role in healthcare and research, and should not be eliminated. Firstly, studying race advances health care research because it adds a layer of understanding between the doctor and the patient; the researcher and the subject. Race is a real aspect of human life, and ignoring it completely will make a superficial relationship between health care professionals and their patients. By studying the behavior of physicians, a 2010 study concluded “patient race is important to physicians when making decisions about preconception genetic testing and that decision making is influenced by patients’ physical characteristics” (Bonham et al. 2010). Patient race was important to the physicians’ decision making skills.

She admits the loss of potential participants was also due to use of “African American” words in the recruitment letter to refer the sample population which is sensitive for the targeted population. In the sampling frame, she initiated the research with her assumption that “traditional norms to care to old-aged family members was being eroded with the lifestyle changes in current and future generation”. Therefore, she focused on young caregivers to approach the studying context so that the findings suggested that “family members provide intensive efforts in caring for their elders”. Groger admitted transparently that her research should focus on the system to explore the actual use, choice of and preference for the long-term care arrangement. If so, she might find more special and unmet needs for long-term care. The African-American population is vulnerable and underrepresented in the society so that racial difference in access to institutional care would be probably present. Hence, I learnt that the researcher’s positionality (knowledge, assumptions and perceptions) on the context influences on the sampling design and findings of the research especially in studying the marginalized people. It will lead to different results and misconceptions in the findings. Use of white interviewers in that research would be another reason for high refusal rate because potential participants probably would not like to talk with white researchers because of their long-term stigmatization. Limitations of training and time for interviewer also probably led to inconsistency in recruiting strategies and difficulty in building mutual relationships between the interviewers and participants. I observed in this article that institutional requirement is also a constraint to change the recruiting process in the midstream of this

Accordingly to construct this argument, I analyze immigration into the United States in the early 1900’s, specifically immigration through the quarantine stations on Ellis Island, Angel Island, and the Mexican-American border. This historical period supports an integrated investigation in the treatment of immigrants and the resulting ideology of parallels between race and disability. First, I will discuss how immigration law enforced by quarantine stations in the United States borders and ports contributes to an acceptance of an idea white supremacy. Additionally, I compare and contrast the stigma different racial ethnic groups obtained upon their arrival to America. Furthermore, I analyze how biological-based eugenics were the fundamental idea on immigration laws during this time and it’s development within the selection of able bodied immigrants for the workforce based on alignment with the social concept of physical fitness for hard

The six week practical rotation I completed at SJOGH Mount Lawley operating theatre solidified my goal to be part of the theatre and recovery team. During this time I studied instrument names, passing technique, sterile scrub procedure and how to set up and maintain the sterile field. On several occasions I was able to act as scrub scout, only requiring supervision and assistance from my buddy nurse with medications because it was out of my scope of practice to

The seven stages of PAPM helps in understanding the dynamic process of adopting to the guidelines, as part of the educational brochure, given to PCPs and the utilization of guidelines into their practice (Weinstein, 1988). These stages will be used each week, during the evaluation process, to determine and evaluate the target population including its adaptation of the educational brochure and the current changes in their

The population sampled will contain 250 adults and 250 children. The subjects will be randomly recruited through their primary care physician at UC Irvine’s medical center. The incentive for the subjects will be the possibility to win one of 100 $50 gift cards. The primary care physicians will be instructed to recruit patients in duplicates that are matched based on gender, current BMI, disease status, age, and ethnicity.

Recently, a health education opportunity was proposed at the service level. All CHA4 PHN’s were advised to participate in a teleconference about PPD put on by

The geriatric population has been subject that has been of concern to public for many years. Older adults with chronic medical problems has been an issue which numerous health reports, articles, researches and debates have been based on. The question here will be why is older adults with chronic medical problems a popular topic of discussion? Literature reviews and researches have been carried out in an attempt to explore and evaluate the current conditions of the geriatric population and also basic resources needed to improve the quality of life for this population in the community. This article will be share a common theme base with other existing literatures in an attempt to discuss social issues and social problems which makes

A convenience sampling will be used in recruiting participants since it is economical, accessible, and less time consuming. In addition, this sampling method is suitable for representing the target population which is patients experiencing varying number of health conditions where often times are reluctant to participate in research studies (Grove et al., 2013).

The study population consisted of outpatients and inpatients at the HUOC and HCP, of whom less than 5% refused to participate, resulting in a consecutive sample of 2372 PLWH enrolled from July 2007 to June 2010 and followed until December 2012. The participants were aged 17 years or over; and no criteria were established for exclusion or withdrawal from the study.
