Based on this unit’s assigned reading from Bonita, Beaglehole, & Kjellström, how would you design a study that attempts to determine if focused meditation can reduce a person’s heart rate? Describe the study design you would use. Also, identify a potential error and ethical issue that might be relevant

From the reading of Bonita, Beaglehole & Kiellstrom, we learn about different types of studies. Within so many options, I would choose an analytical study or correlational research approach. Correlational research refers to a non-experimental research method which studies the relationship between two variables. An analytical study such as this goes further by analyzing relationships between health status and other variables (Bonita, Beaglehole, & Kiellstrom-WHO 2006). I would find a group of 50 people within the same age and find the average heart rate amongst those. My two variables would separate the population of non-mediators and mediators. I would begin to take everyone’s blood pressure and heart rate two minutes before and after meditation (basic vital signs should be used, as we can find different heart rates with increased blood pressure). I would allow 30 minutes of meditation in single solitary rooms (maybe monitor the meditation of each person, sound controlled). Each participant would participate in the rotation twice, to ensure variable A and B. If the time is allowed during this designed study, I could also add an EKG study during meditation to provide accurate flowing heart rate. I believe one major error I could run into would be that some of the population could argue that meditation is a sacred evolution that requires their own type of meditation. So, it would be hard to really determine their steady heart rate process, but I believe overall this experiment would get a general idea if mediation can lower a population heart rate.

After reading this week’s reading selections, I think a randomized controlled trial would be how I design a study to attempt to determine if focused meditation can reduce a person’s heart rate. I would randomly select a group for 24 individuals, with 14 being in two separate groups. A particular intervention, such as focused meditation, is studied in a randomized controlled trial to analyze the affects (Bonita et al., 2006). I plan to conduct a pre-meditation anxiety test to form my two groups. A meditation session that included repetition of the cardiovascular testing plus the mindfulness meditation 20 minutes introductory meditation, 30 minutes body scan and 10 minutes self-guided meditation as well as repeating cardiovascular measurements immediately following meditation and 60 minutes after. A random subset of the population, excluding individuals who do not fit the criteria for the study, is separated into two groups (Bonita et al., 2006). The two groups are the control group, with no intervention, and the group with the intervention of focused meditation (Bonita et al., 2006). Those two groups would each then be divided in half, one half having a high heart rate and the other half having a low heart rate (Bonita et al., 2006). The differences of each set of groups will then be compared and a null hypothesis will either be proven or disproven. I would complete a body scan on everyone to show the effects mediation has on the entire body. A post mediation anxiety test would be performed to compare the pre-mediation levels. A potential error of this study would be that outside factors such as nervousness of being a part of the study could be affecting heart rate of participants.

– APA Format

– References within the past 5 years

Introduction

To affect quality care coordination as a leader in practice, you have to understand the outcomes you want to achieve, the best practice that supports the outcomes, the related legal and ethical concerns and how to determine recommendations to produce the outcomes. This includes collaboration with the interprofessional team, data use, and the ability to communicate clearly and precisely.

Preparation

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

The quality of care coordination outcomes may depend upon efficient use of health care information systems.

• How do you start to assess the needs of a community related to care coordination when you think about outcomes?

Legal and ethical implications of implementing or changing any care coordination practice can have far-reaching effects.

• As you think about improving care in the community with enhanced interprofessional coordination, what types of ethical and legal issues come to mind if care coordination does not improve?

Context

Using health care information systems to effect change is critical to creating quality outcomes. A leader in practice for care coordination needs to be able to measure and evaluate change using data.

Requirements

You will develop a presentation for the leaders of a health care organization or community-based care delivery service in which you explore current organizational or community resources for a specific situation related to care delivery. Your presentation will include either voice-over or video of you speaking about your presentation to the audience. Your slides should include bulleted points (one line each) that highlight your points for each topic. Your slides should not be text-intensive; put all the details in the speaker notes.

PRESENTATION FORMAT AND LENGTH

At a minimum, your presentation must include the following slides:

• Title.
• Purpose (the reasons for your presentation).
• A specific situation related to care delivery and current organizational or community resources.
• The legal and ethical issues that can occur due to the current practice.
• Recommendations for improvement and a comparison to current practice.
• An evidence-based intervention.
• Explanation of data use and interprofessional support.
• References (at the end of your presentation).

The content of your presentation should consist of 8–10 slides, not including the title, purpose, and references slides. Do not exceed 10 slides as this could create problems for submitting your work to SafeAssign.

***Make a Comment***

Some communities perceive mental illness among individuals in terms of religion. Various forms of mental illnesses are perceived to be the outcome of a complex interaction between cultural, psychological, biological, and socioeconomic influences. Depending on the nature of the mental illness or the disease, any of the outlined core factors may be played weaker or stronger roles. Every religion in various cultures within societies has ramifications for mental health and disease because of their system of beliefs in this regard. We addressed how the rituals and the beliefs of the Hindi religion play a role in mental illness development. It is also discussed how individuals are assisted in sustaining their lives in various regions through religion. We also discussed the relationship between symptomatology and religions.
