Revisit Miriam, the graduate nurse whose specialty area is critical care. As Miriam’s practicum experience proceeds, she is increasingly interested in new technology and best practices in the care of acutely ill patients. Looking ahead to her work as a nurse educator, Miriam has begun researching scholarly articles on new developments in critical care. Her purpose is to both expand her own knowledge and create an annotated bibliography that she can share with her students.

In this Assignment, you gather information on advancements in your practicum specialty.

To Prepare

  • Reflect on your specialty of interest and your practicum experience. What key topics, processes, best practices, advancements, and technologies have you seen or heard about?
  • Search the Walden Library for articles on any or all of these dimensions. Keep in mind that your focus is on current developments and that articles you select should have been published within the last three years.

To Complete

  • Create an annotated bibliography that consists of 10 scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
  • For each article:
    • Provide a brief summary (4–5 sentences).
    • Explain why this article is relevant (1–2 sentences).
    • Explain the application of the findings of the article to practice (1–2 sentences).

                                          Group Processes

Group therapy is an effective treatment option for a wide range of disorders and is much more cost-efficient than individual therapy. As a result, many insurance companies are showing preference for group therapy over individual therapy. This has led to more therapists including group therapy in their practices, making it very likely that you will facilitate group therapy in the future. To successfully develop groups and apply this therapeutic approach, it is essential for you to have an understanding of group processes and formation.

This week, as you examine group processes and stages of formation, you explore curative factors of groups and strategies for managing intragroup conflict. You also assess progress for a client family receiving psychotherapy and develop progress and privileged psychotherapy notes for the family.

  

                         Assignment: Group Processes and Stages of Formation

In your role, you must understand group processes and stages of formation, as this will help you develop groups and determine an individual’s appropriateness for group therapy. Whether you are at the beginning stages of group formation or facilitating a session for a developed group, it is important to consider factors that may influence individual client progress. 

For this Assignment, as you examine the video Group Therapy: A Live Demonstration in this week’s Learning Resources, consider the group’s processes, stages of formation, and other factors that might impact the effectiveness of group therapy for clients.

                                                                                To prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide 

  on group processes.

· View the media, Group Therapy: A Live Demonstration, and consider the group 

 dynamics. (THE VIDEO TRANSCRIPT IS ATTACHED TO THIS ASSIGNMENT)

                                                           

                                               The Assignment

  In 3-page paper, address the following:

· Explain the group’s processes and stage of formation.

· Explain curative factors that occurred in the group. Include how these factors 

   might impact client progress.

· Explain intragroup conflict that occurred and recommend strategies for 

  managing the conflict. Support your recommendations with evidence-based 

  literature.

An organizational structure identifies the roles and responsibilities of those in leadership positions that will impact the goal of the organization and (Renani, Ghaderi & Mahmoudi, 2017). It also indicates how information is shared through the various levels of leadership (Marquis & Huston, 2017). It identifies the hierarchical leadership structure of an organization for accountability ( Renani et al., 2017).

SLMC is a healthcare organization that has cared for a number of its neighboring communities in the Chamberlain County of South Carolina for the last 50 years. The organization consists of 500 physicians and 450 nurses and as such needs an organized way to function where roles are defined so the goals of the organization can be met. The purpose of the organization is to improve quality care and safety and to make improvements in healthcare and to provide care of the surrounding communities.

As the nurse administrator, the organizational structure that would be best for St. Louis Medical Center (SLMC) would be the shared governance. Shared Governance in healthcare is an essential component of providing quality and safe care to patients (Marquis & Huston, 2017). Based on the structure, the decision-making process is in collaboration with board members, physicians, the leadership team, and nurses (Marquis & Huston, 2017). The structure is made of several committees tasked to lead and make decisions which will affect the care of the community. Shared governance also supports empowerment through nurse autonomy and decision making (Marquis & Huston, 2017).

The organizational theory best for this type of structure would be the contingency theory. The contingency theory allows the organization to respond to its priorities based on the needs of the organizations as well as its community  (Birken, Bunger, Powell, Turner, Clary, Klaman, Weiner, 2017). The reason this type of theory would be ideal is that the structure would facilitate the development of a committee to respond to its community’s challenges. For example, addressing issues related to the ten percent increase in heart failure admissions noted. This organizational theory will positively impact the institutional goals based on the changes that can be made that will address issues inside and outside the organization and its mission and vision.
