Provide a 3-4 sentence response to the below discussion question answer in apa format with in-text citations and references: Answer: An evidence is said to be statistically significant if the relationship between two or more variables other than any random chance of occurrence. Mostly used in hypothesis testing, if p value is less than 5% then results are said to be statically significant. Example: A study on impact of work-related stress on employee motivation may be said as statistically significant as possibility is that some other variables are also important. Clinically significant evidence: It is based on treatment effect that if another variable introduced then what will be the new result. Most of the time, this type of experiment used in scientific program. These findings are important in evidence-based project by the following’s ways: -The relations among various variables might be obtained. -In scientific based literature clinically significant evidence has great contribution. -Patient safety research project may be analyzed based on clinically significant evidence. -Many organizational problems / projects can be evaluated based on statistically significant evidence by internal validity/ testing of hypothesis. Leug states that there is a great significance in the measures on how different each outcome in treatment can control groups are not real and are not by a chance. P values are the given probability to the outcomes given by chance and assumption by new control treatments and measures. There is a mathematical significance in justification to the EBP when you have statistical significance. Original Question: What is the difference between statistically significant evidence and clinically significant evidence? How would each of these findings be used to advance an evidenced-based project?

Discussion 2 Charla Clervil                                                          NUR4667 Problem/Issues related to health There are a lot health related issues with population all over the world but the one we will talk about the American Indians health issues. There is a cultural barrier, geographic isolation, low income. Some of the diseases that causes death are heart disease, cancer, injuries, diabetes and stroke.             A little history about the American Indians, a long history of underfunding of the Indian Health service has led to significant challenges (Warne & Bane Frizzell,2014). According to the journal American Indian and Alaska Native tribes have had a unique history with the united states, that is mixed with conflict, warfare, cooperation and partnership. They have a life expectancy that is 5 years less than the average Americans. Due to them having low funds it is hard to get all the care or the best care. Research shows that we need to identify dimensions of American Indians community capacity in relation to the funding application process. We need to look at the need of the community, networks, resources and community leadership (Pedersen & Brown, B. 2016).  By doing so we could improve health priorities by focusing on them. Education, raising awareness and understanding about the diseases, the resources to get help. They will benefit a lot in community teaching. Teaching how prevent diseases and live a healthy life. (Blais, 2016)             In conclusion, American Indians have many barriers stopping them from improving their healthcare. The culture, funding not counting predispose genetics to certain disease and eating lifestyle. In effort to help improve nurses and researchers and scientist should play their part in community teaching, studies on where to find resources to get funding and help.

Planning is the key to successful completion of this course and your overall program of study. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment requires early collaboration with the course faculty and your course mentor. You will need to establish a plan for successful completion of (1) deliverables associated with weekly course objectives, (2), required practice immersion hours, and (3) deliverables associated with your capstone project. Access the “Individual Success Plan” resource in the Topic Materials. Read the information in the resource, including student expectations and instructions for completing the ISP document. Use the “Individual Success Plan” to develop a personal plan for completing your practice hours and how topic objectives will be met. Include the number of hours you plan to set aside to meet your goals. A combination of 100 supervised clinical hours in community health and leadership areas will be obtained through the application of the objectives listed in the Guidelines for Undergraduate Field Experiences manual. Practicum immersion experiences are required in a community health setting. Community-based settings should encourage community integration and involvement; expand accessibility of services and supports; promote personal preference, strengths, dignity; and empower people to participate in the economic mainstream. According to HealthyPeople.gov, educational and community-based programs and strategies are designed to reach people outside of traditional health care settings. These settings may include schools, worksites, health care facilities, and communities. Community health and leadership practice immersion can occur in the same site and in conjunction with the evidence-based project in the NRS-490 course. If you are a registered nurse in Washington, your practicum experience must include a minimum of 50 hours in a community health setting. Students should apply concepts from prior courses to critically examine and improve their current practice. Students should also integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.

You can renegotiate these deliverables with your faculty and mentor throughout this course and update your ISP accordingly. Once your ISP has been developed and accepted by your course faculty, you will have your course mentor sign it at the beginning of, and upon completion of, each assignment that incorporates practice immersion hours. You will track all course practice immersion hours in the ISP. APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected. You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
