Introduction

For a person, it is imperative to develop a personal goal that shall serve interactions with different clients and promote better professional development. Integration of Adam’s theory in nursing is the best method to improve my personal belief since I shall be able to engage with different persons and then promote effective patient treatment sessions. The concept integrates careful study, knowledge assessment, and improvement in areas concerning certain patient issues. Collaboration with other professionals will allow me to promote patients’ health and well-being for healthcare settings that are known to deal with patients’ expected treatment and ensuring all operations are tailored to deal with their health conditions. My central belief is valid to engage with proper healthcare improvement procedures since finding an approach to dealing with a patient is a constructive process in the entire healthcare environment.

Central Belief

Quality improvement offers a dependable method for dealing with care needs. I believe in can be one of the best nurses after developing constant care processes for patients and dealing with diverse care needs. Patient care is mandatory for all mental and physical needs thus developing a structure adopted to care provisions is the best method for patient expectations of the healthcare setting. Often during my healthcare research procedures, I integrate research that helps me in seeking answers to questions all patients provide. A critical healthcare procedure can be based on enhancing productive protocols for data collection, improvement sessions, and working with experts in many healthcare fields. Working with patients who engage in conversation is better as it offers a chance to integrate doable ideas.

I believe the performance of research and analysis of different care methods is the best tactic for gaining nursing expertise for the ultimate healthcare improvement. Healthcare environments need persons who can adjust to the prevailing conditions and thus serve patients in required ways. I am a person who is always aware of critical behavioral management since these influences me to engage better with my surrounding. Patient assessment is thus valid to integrate knowledge about patient needs and increase the careful study of patient factors connecting them to their health needs as required. I believe that my DNP project shal

i) Background of the practice problem/gap at the project site

Around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating. Health problems, such as an increase in the number of illnesses and deaths, as well as financial difficulties and anxiety over the impact’s long-term consequences are all unfavorable results. These health care workers (HCWs), who are in charge of addressing COVID-19 patients, have various challenges, including preventing the infection from spreading and developing short-term and long-term strategies. Additionally, HCWs must continue to treat non-COVID patients while simultaneously taking care of their own families and other personal duties (Shavaki et al., 2020). The high rates of burnout, psychological stress, and suicide among HCWs have long been suspected, and new data confirms these suspicions. Health care workers (HCWs) are susceptible to emotional exhaustion, which can lead to errors in patient care, decreased productivity, and higher turnover rates. For the benefit of their patients, their families, and themselves, healthcare workers must be able to handle stress successfully. Mental resilience, or one’s capacity for coping effectively in the face of hardship, varies from provider to provider. COVID-19 proved that healthcare stresses, encompassing electronic medical record duties, insurance and billing issues, any patient dissatisfaction, and juggling busy work-life schedules are multidimensional.

During the Covid-19 period is a point that has changed the lives of the healthcare workers towards a negative side. They experienced tough conditions handling the needs of covid-19 patients and also balancing with the demand from the non-Covid-19 patients.

List the primary points for six sections.

i) Background of the practice problem/gap at the project site

The challenge of mental health has become a problem for the adolescents and young people in the society. The issue of mental health is a problem that an individual only understands, and it becomes a problem for the family and parents to notice it early. Suicide among teenagers and young adults is one of society’s most pressing issues right now. Many young people take their own lives because they lack self-confidence, faith in their own abilities, and a foundation of life experiences. Despite this, it is difficult to prevent teen suicides even when the primary causes are understood, because other factors often play a role. Researchers must first examine the causes of suicide ideation and attempts among teenagers in order to determine whether such support can help reduce suicide rates and rates (Patterson, 2016). The young people are finding it difficult in handling mental health issues that affect their productivity. Most of the adolescents and young people are in school that is either high school or college and education is another cause of the mental health issue. Students gets it challenging in balancing their social life and education making them become depressed since their parents have a high expectation from them academically.

ii) Significance of the practice problem/gap at the project site

Several factors contribute to the suicide of adolescents and young adults. However, none of these factors is more important than the stress that young people face today. Furthermore, teenagers are under constant strain and pressure. The speed of modern life is a major stressor for many young people, despite the fact that psychologists say it could be anything. The romanticized portrayal of suicide is a major factor in the suicides of many young people. Many young people don’t seem to care about the fact that suicide is a death sentence. I

Case Report: Application of Theory to Organizational Mission, Vision, and the Christian Worldviews

This project is about highlighting the stigma experienced by the mental health parents in the healthcare organization. The paper explains the Christian worldview of the healthcare problem, the LOWA EBP model and nursing theory (Peplau’s Interpersonal relations). More discussion in the paper will be about how Peplau’s Interpersonal relations theory and the LOWA model relate to the mission and vision statement of the healthcare organization. Finally, there is a discussion about integrating the highlighted aspects and the influence it has on reducing stigma in mental health. Next is the purpose of the project in detail.

Purpose of the Project

Stigma is a risk factor for patients seeking mental health treatment from healthcare organizations. The healthcare providers likely to showcase stigma toward the mental health patients affects the patient satisfaction in accessing care and also reduces the number of patients, especially the adolescents that seek psychiatric care from the primary setting in Arizona. This quantitative quasi-experimental project aimed to determine if or to what degree the implementation of reducing mental health stigma would impact patient outcomes compared to current practice among health professionals in a primary care unit in Arizona over four weeks.

Christian Worldviews

The nine doctrines and synthesizing them result in the broad concepts of unity and equality. The sense of equal treatment is a Christian view on the aspect of unity among Christians through the spirit and the equality that we are all made in the image of God. 2 Corinthians 8:13-14 states, “For I do not mean that others should be eased, and you burdened; but by an equality, that now at this time your plenty may supply their lack, that their enough also may supply your lack that there may be equality.” The bible verse pushes for equality in the community and, in this case, healthcare, where all patients are treated with dignity and respect to achieve comprehensive care as stated in the healthcare organization’s mission and vision statement. (See Appendix A).

Organization’s Mission and Vision to Theory and Model

Organizations in the modern world are facing tremendous changes due to globalization and technological innovation. In order to match client expectations, various industries, including the health care sector, must be aware of market variations. These changes are a part of a company’s overall transformation: structural, operational, strategic, and tec
