Jackson FM 2002 lsquoConsiderations for community-based research with African American womenrsquo American Journal of Public Health April vol 92 no 4 pp561-5 viewed 12 February 2007 httpwwwajphorgcgicontentabstract924561

Introduction

This review critically reviews the article lsquoConsiderations for community-based research with African American womenrsquo in the journal American Journal of Public Health The review will first summarise the article Secondly it will briefly analyse the effectiveness of the articlersquos structure investigating how the information is set out and whether the reader can access it efficiently Thirdly the review will critique the article evaluating its authority currency accuracy objectivity and coverage The review will also analyse the graph before finally judging the articlersquos accessibility and credibility Overall the article was well written clear and relevant

Article summary

The purpose of the article is to explore the need and advantages of conducting community based research with women of colour in the United States The authoritative knowledge that

these women can provide about their lives and their health could form the basis of collaboration between researchers and participants and lead to successful strategies to improve the health of African American women The article provides the goals for improving African American womenrsquos health before investigating the issues related to cultural sensitivity reciprocity accountability and authoritative voices in order to argue that the research on these women and their health must be attuned to the multiple identities the women possess that are associated with race gender and class

Article structure

The article was introduced with an abstract which provided the stance or thesis developed by the article as well as a brief overview of main points The rationales for the article and for the research it describes were also included The paragraphs in the body were short and therefore the information in each paragraph was easy to access however there were only 3 body headings which meant that there was a lot of quite detailed information contained under each heading As the article described a research study that was conducted by the author the article contained the conventional information normally provided in such a study For example there are sections related to the background and significance of the research a review of the literature and the methodology as well as the data collection and analysis techniques used The findings and conclusions were developed towards the end of the article however the conclusion was very short lacking a comprehensive summary of the main points covered by the article However the short conclusion did develop future policy and research directions References were cited in-text and set out clearly in the literature cited section The articlersquos structure was logically developed overall with the use of short paragraphs helping the reader access the main points more easily The article was HMLT rather than a scanned PDF document and included many links which helped to make the information accessible There were links to author journal subjects citations and references which allow the reader to evaluate the articlersquos worth more effectively however linked headings and subheadings may have allowed the reader to move through the paper more quickly

Article critique

Authority

The journal the American Journal of Public Health is a publication of the American Public Health Association which is an objective unbiased public organisation It was found on the scholarly Academic Search Premier through EBSCOhost which is a highly credible research database

The authorrsquos credibility was established in a number of ways These included her PhD the fact that the article was a peer reviewed article the fact that the author is an academic working at the School of Public Health Emory University in Atlanta the fact that the research described in the article was supported by an ASPHCDCATSDR Cooperative agreement and a grant from the Ford Foundation and the links to the authorrsquos other articles in the Reference section

Accuracy

The source of the information in the article was a current research project It was also backed up and supported by a comprehensive recent reference list with these sources cited in-text to support both the literature review and the research itself The strict editorial and refereeing processes also contributed to the articlersquos accuracy as did the links to other expert sources (the journal for example)


Currency

The journal was published in April 2002 while the article was accepted for publication in December 2001 The research it describes was current and the article cites up-to-date references in the body of the text (ranging from 1990-2001) Therefore the article is current

Relevance

This was an academic journal on an academic database which has high credibility in an academic context It was written to inform researchers and students rather than to entertain or advertise It would be relevant to both these groups but particularly any academic interested in nursing innovations and in health generally It could be a difficult article to read and understand and therefore would be less relevant to first year nursing students

Objectivity

The information was objectively developed well supported with a current research base and with all evidence acknowledged and referenced There was no evidence of bias a fact that was reinforced by the recognition that the article documents research which followed the rigorous research processes and the necessary ethical considerations demanded of such community-funded research The article acknowledged the complexity of the issues discussed in a number of ways For example the literature review provided explanations of the key terms discussed (for example lsquogenderrsquo and lsquoidentityrsquo) and supported their research decisions with references to the appropriate and relevant literature The participants were clearly defined ndash a sample of 545 African American women living in Atlanta - with the findings relevant to other African American women and would also be able to inform research conducted in other countries for example indigenous women in Australia

Stability

The article with its source an academic journal on an academic data base is stable as a resource

Bell RL amp Lederman NG 2003 lsquoUnderstandings of the nature of science and decision making on science and technology based issuesrsquo Science Education vol87 no3 p352-77 viewed 15 March 2005 EBSCOhost database Academic Search Premier item AN9578033

Introduction

This review critically reviews the article lsquoUnderstandings of the nature of science and decision making on science and technology based issuesrsquo by Randy L Bell and Norman G Lederman which appeared in the journal Science Education The review will firstly summarise the article Secondly it will briefly analyse the effectiveness of the articlersquos structure investigating how the information is set out and whether the reader can access it efficiently Thirdly the review will critique the article evaluating its authority accuracy currency relevance objectivity and stability The review will also analyse the graph before finally judging the articlersquos accessibility and credibility Overall the article was well written clear and relevant

Article Summary

The purpose of the article was to investigate whether knowledge of the nature of science impacted on decision-making regarding science and technology based issues The article also determined the factors and reasoning used to reach decisions The study involved 21 adult volunteers selected from university professors and research scientists from across the United States The participants completed two open-ended questionnaires and subsequent interviews The first questionnaire and follow up interview were designed to assess participantrsquos decision making Participants were then grouped according to their views on the nature of science as gauged by the second questionnaire and follow up interview The grouprsquos overall decision making were then profiled using the responses to the Decision Making Questionnaires and follow up interviews After comparison of both group profiles it was found that there was little difference in the groups overall decisions factors influencing decisions or processes used to reach decisions Participants in both groups based their decisions mainly on ethics personal values or socialpolitical concerns All considered scientific evidence but more as a part of a multifaceted issue The nature of science did not significantly impact on either grouprsquos decision making These results contrast with basic assumptions of current science education reform efforts and call for a re-examination of the goals of nature of science instruction Future research directions include the relationship between general epistemologies and decision-making and the relationship between decision making and moral development

Article Structure

The article under review was accessed via EBSCOhost in a clear and well set out form It was retrieved as a PDF document The article was introduced with an abstract that briefly outlined the purpose of the article its main points findings conclusions implications and future research directions The article is broken into headings and subheadings with relatively short paragraphs making the information readily accessible The Introduction provided background information and the rationale behind the article This allowed clear understanding of the context and importance of the study The body was logically organised


into scientific headings Method Results Discussion and Implications Appendices and References This allowed the reader to read the entire article or just the part of interest The article had both qualitative and quantitative aspects with excerpts from interviews and surveys combined with statistical data from the study The article was summarised but this occurred in the Discussion and Implications section in a long and jumbled form making a clear and concise understanding of the main points difficult There were extensive references cited in-text and set out clearly in the References section The article was a PDF document which meant it could easily be printed and read It did not have links throughout the text but did have links in the citation The sentences were structured so that an average person could read most of the article however in some sections the level of literature was advanced The overall accessibility of the information was quite good

Article Critique

Authority

The authorsrsquo credibility was established in a number of ways Both authors are associated with education institutions with Randy L Bell being an academic at the Curry School of Education at University of Virginia and Norman G Lederman is an academic in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education at Illinois Institute of Technology The authors are also recognised in their field with an early version of the article being presented to the annual meeting of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching in 2000 The authors have also written a number of other articles some of which are included in the References section The article was from the journal Science Education which is a reliable and peer reviewed journal The article was found through EBSCOhost on the Academic Search Premier database This is a highly credible research database It can be seen that the article has authority

Accuracy

The information included in the article was from a study conducted in 1998 The information is verified and supported with in-text referencing and an extensive list of references The editorial and reviewing processes that the article was subject to both contribute to the accuracy and reliability of the article The information in the article is therefore accurate and reliable

Currency

The study the article is written about was conducted in 1998 The article was written in 2001 revised in early 2002 and accepted for publication 19 April 2002 It was published in May 2003 The references included in the list of references range from 1963 to 2001 The article is therefore current and supported by a range of studies over an extensive time frame

Relevance

The article is from an academic journal and is therefore intended for the scientific community It was written to inform and detail specific research conducted by the authors not to entertain The subject is covered well but because it was conducted in the United States on a limited amount of high level academics it is not generalisable The article is very detailed with the topics being explored in great depth The material is presented in a logical and organised way The article is accordingly relevant to the academic community

Objectivity


The information presented in the article is from a research study The results are presented in an objective way with all evidence and supporting documentation acknowledged The authors clearly outline some of the limitations of the research and make reference to alternative points of view enhancing the objectivity of the article The article is based on fact with all stringent research processes and decisions clearly explained As a result the information presented in the article is objective

Stability

The article is from an academic journal that is available in both print and electronic forms It can also be found on an established and highly credible academic database EBSCOhostrsquos Academic Search Premier For these reasons the article is stable as a resource

Cregan K 2005 lsquoEthical and social issues of embryonic stem cell technologyrsquo Internal Medicine Journal vol35 no2 viewed 15 March 2007 Ethical and social issues of embryonic stem cell technology

Introduction

This review critiques the article lsquoEthical and social issues of embryonic stem cell technologyrsquo by Kate Cregan in the Internal Medicine Journal The article will be summarized and its purpose defined The review will then examine the structure of the article in terms of how the


information is displayed and the ease with which the reader can access the information The article will be critiqued based upon its authority accuracy currency relevance objectivity and stability The review will also analyse the graph before finally judging the articlersquos accessibility and credibility Overall the article was well written clear and relevant

Article summary

The purpose of this article is to consider the negative implications of embryonic stem cell technology on an ethical and social level According to the article the issues relating to this controversial topic transcend the religious arguments commonly brought to the fore in such debates The use of stem cell technology will lead to the transformation of societyrsquos view of life causing it to be commercialized and simultaneously devalued The article does acknowledge the possible benefits of the technology However it questions whether such benefits for a privileged few are worth the commercialization of women living in poverty - those most likely to become a source of embryos for such technology The use of stem cell technology will have harmful consequences affecting not only these women but also society as a whole as the concept of life is reduced to a scientific process

Article structure

The article was introduced with an abstract that provided an effective overview of the article by establishing the background to the issue as well as the theme and main points of the piece The article itself is qualitative in nature and is two pages long It is accessible online as a PDF document As such links are not included in the article but contact details for the author are provided In addition the citation of the article available through EBSCOhost MegaFILE Premier does contain links to articles related to key words and subject terms These links provided useful background to the topic Despite the shortness of the article information is not easily accessible There is a logical ordering of points but the piece lacks headings and both the paragraphs and the sentences are long so accessing the information reading and understanding the article is not easy Furthermore the conclusion is not a summary of the points made but a question defining the overall theme of the article There is no in-text referencing but three references are provided in a reference section Additionally there is a section acknowledging the piece upon which the article was based The original piece co-authored by Kate Cregan and Paul James lsquoStem-cell alchemy techno-science and the new philosopherrsquos stonersquo in the Arena Journal includes several in-text references and twenty-one references in total Overall therefore while the abstract is effective and the links provided via the citation are useful the structure of the article makes it difficult to read and understand

Article critique

Authority

The official journal of the Adult Medicine Division of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians the Internal Medicine Journal in which the article was featured is an extremely reputable source This journal aims to inform and educate its target audience being the medical community In addition the fact that the article was found via EBSCOhostrsquos Academic Search Premier which is known to be a reliable database adds to its credibility as does that fact that it is peer reviewed Furthermore the author is a research fellow for the Australian Research Council as well as an academic at Melbournersquos RMIT University and has written numerous other books and articles The various positions and the contact details of the author are displayed on the article All of this information indicates that the article is highly credible


Accuracy

The source of much of the information in the article was the original piece upon which the article was based While the article itself has only three references and no in-text referencing the original co-authored by Kate Cregan and Paul James contains several in-text references and a total of twenty-one references implying great accuracy The articlersquos accuracy is also confirmed by the careful scrutiny that it was subjected to by Internal Medicine Journal ndash it was accepted for publishing nine days after being received The fact that the article is peer reviewed also verifies its precision

Currency

The journal issue containing the article was published in February 2005 while the article was accepted for publishing in October 2004 Its references date from 2001 The original piece upon which the article is based was published in 2002 with references dating from 1998 The recent publication of the article and the recent references indicate that the article is very current as does the content of the article which deals with the latest developments in stem cell technology

Relevance

The article was published in a medical journal intended to inform the medical community As it was written to provide information for an educated sector and published in a reputable journal it is relevant to the intended audience The topic covered is also a significant one in todayrsquos society The article covers several aspects of the issue and although the information originates in Australia it relates to the global community

Objectivity

The information in the article was derived from Doctor Creganrsquos extensive experience in the area of stem cell technology associated with the Australian Research Council The article shows research decisions and contains both facts and opinions However where opinions are presented both sides of the argument are illustrated The fact that the article considers the negative implications of embryonic stem cell technology on an ethical and social level does not lead to bias because the positive possibilities of the technology are also acknowledged Limitations of stem cell technology and conversely the restrictions of not utilizing such technology are discussed The majority of the claims and arguments made are supported if not in the article then in the original piece by references to prior research or literature and frequent mention is made of alternative points of view However in several instances strongly worded assertions are made and are not supported by documented evidence The article serves its purpose as an objective presentation of the negative social and ethical aspects of stem cell technology to the medical community However it could have been written more objectively if emotive and strongly worded statements had not been used or had been better supported

Stability

Having been published in a medical journal and being accessible through a credible and reliable academic database the article is a stable resource

Analysis of graph



Conclusion

This review summarised and critically reviewed Creganrsquos article lsquoEthical and social issues of embryonic stem cell technologyrsquo The content structure strengths and limitations of the article were analysed and critiqued The article has contributed to a better understanding amongst the medical community of the disadvantages both social and ethical of stem cell technology Although it lacks an accessible structure and is therefore difficult to read it is well researched and highly credible

Responsible professional practice requires nurses to understand and apply the professional standards and codes that influence clinical decision making and the outcomes of health care This assignment applies the elements of responsible professional practice to a nursing teamrsquos treatment of a 20 year old patient with chronic constipation The elements discussed include privacy confidentiality scope of practice and delegation of duties law and ethics infection control and professionalism and code of conduct

4 Body paragraph

Privacy is one of the elements of responsible professional practice that need to be demonstrated in relation to a nursing teamrsquos treatment of a 20 year old patient with chronic constipation The team members include an enrolled nurse an unlicensed health care worker and a nursing student from the regional university Kerridge et al (1998 p128 cited in Chiarella 2005 p405) define privacy as lsquoonersquos ownership of onersquos body or information about onersquos selfrsquo Clients would not feel confident in telling their most intimate and private details if they could not expect that these would be treated confidentially (Chiarella 2005) Thus a member of the team for example the nursing student nursing the 20 year old patient would need to seek the patientrsquos permission before revealing any information the patient had disclosed to the registered nurse According to Braunack-Mayer and Mulligan (2003) sharing information between members of the treating team or between different treating practitioners while a common and necessary practice in the delivery of healthcare but should not be conducted without the knowledge of the patient This would apply in the case of a young female patient who according to Rowe (2005) is still an adolescent suffering a potentially embarrassing bowel problem (203 words)

I suppose I had always set high standards for myself in my working life and I perceived those academically qualified to have higher standards than myself To say I took on a major task by trying to complete a degree and work part time was something I dont want to do again I need to be able to realistically plan and balance my time

Skim reading and attending the tutorials helped me to understand more where the assignments were heading and why they are organised in the way that they are I still feel annoyed that things are so confusing though

Sample expectations templateContext Expectations Perceptions now

University I thought that lecturers would be lsquohigh and mightyrsquo

One problem I expected would be the (negative) communication between lecturerstutors and me backwards and forwards

I thought of it as a lot like school where you went into a classroom you opened your textbooks and you did this exercise blah blah Very much like schools

It wasnrsquot indoctrinated but it was drummed into us at grade 12 ndash if you hit uni yoursquore not going to be spoon-fed and itrsquos going to be a whole new world So I thought it would be academically reasonably hardhellipI thought it would be harder (academically) than it is

I expected uni to be difficult and time consuming I expected that I would have to work very hard to gain a pass I expected to be in a class full of very capable people

Itrsquos really hard coming from me Irsquom telling you Like I feel a lot different being in my own environment and when you come here itrsquos totally differenthellipIrsquom not in control if thatrsquos the way to put it I mean Irsquom not an ego-tripping person like I have to have total control Although thatrsquos a new challenge for me alsohellipbecause in the 18 years Irsquove been self-employed Irsquove created a lot of personal challenges But this is another one that Irsquove created Whether itrsquos a monster from the deep Irsquom not sure

My expectations of university were both realistic and unrealistic I expected that almost all students would have concrete goals and reasons for studying what they did but in reality a minority had definite goals and future career plans and most were undecided and floating Many were not sure of why they were at university possibly because it was expected and a natural transition in study rather than for personal goal reasons I noticed that most mature aged students had definite goals and reasons for commencing tertiary studies It may be because they have given up work and income in order to commence study and so have much more at stake

With a military background university is the total opposite At university you need to learn all the lsquonormsrsquo which are very different Casual wear versus immaculate uniforms and presentation Choosing your own timetable that was incredible When I turned up on the first day I did not know where to go or even how to read the timetable Organising your study and assignments everything is totally up to you personally with so much responsibility left on yourself when it is totally the opposite in the military whereby you must fit into the group and not be an individual

I think therersquos an unwritten rule that yoursquove got to complain about your teachers Everyone has to do that at some point or another Things like they donrsquot know what theyrsquore talking about just basically incompetent Therersquos always complaints about a unit thatrsquos just completely irrelevant or pointless or not effective Another unwritten law is not to get to lectures too early I chopped and changed when I got there but I found when I got there fifteen minutes before there were maybe 2 or 3 of us in the lecture theatrehellipit gets to five to and then everyone just piles in Irsquom really surprised that a lot of students never ever go to the computer labs and they donrsquot have computers at home they just donrsquot care Like when an assignment is handed in Irsquom out there every night checking my results to see if its come in yet My friends just donrsquot care I think if you want to be a student you donrsquot


care you get your results when you get them get a bad result then the lecturerrsquos an idiot I was surprised at some of my friends whorsquove been out here for a while donrsquot put the effort in that I was putting in like going out to the library or the computer labs ndash they get it done just on time and they just get through

Nursing program

I expected that study at university would be a solo affair and that it would be hard to make friends and enjoy myself I though it would be all hard slog that I would just go to classes and come home and then study

I expected that in the first week I would spend ages running around but having no one really to do anything about my problems That I would go and line up in a queue for 3 and a 12 hours to get some information and then realise Irsquove made a mistake

As we were put into groups according to subject choice and timetable arrangement we saw (and still see) these people all the time It made a huge difference especially in the first couple of weeks in that we already had a circle of friendshelliphaving someone with the same timetable as me has been really great as we get along really well ndash instant best friend It was like a giant jump-start Because I was settled with friends so quickly it was a lot easier to organise the work side of thingshellipwith other people to help and talk to

I had ethical problems with nursing where I had to reflect on things which are really toughhelliphow you felt when somebody dies in front of you They screw you up inside and it takes so long because yoursquore feeling so wound up in it it really makes it hard to writehellipItrsquos hard because it makes you think about it again and it brings it all back again Partly as a debriefing and partly just a way of thinking about what yoursquore doing and why yoursquore doing it rather than saying what yoursquove done

CMS1008 I thought this looked like an English subject and as I hated English at school and didnrsquot feel confident about my writing grammar and spelling I felt sure that I was going to have trouble in this course It seemed to make me also examine my learning skills and I didnrsquot like this and I couldnrsquot see what it had to do with nursing

Another thing I felt uncomfortable about was that the teacher said that it was a touchyfeely subject and I feel much more comfortable with black and white or right or wrong information

My expectations werenrsquot matched by reality I realise now that this is not English as such but it is giving me the skills to do better at university I feel more confident about the way information is structured and about how to reference information As a result of the teacherrsquos feedback I have made a great improvement as I found that feedback helps a great deal For example I discussed my approach with my tutor and she thought I was on the right track so that made me feel good

MAT1008 Studying maths again was a frightening prospect especially when I first saw some of the problems My first reaction was ldquoWhat have I donerdquo I have been putting off doing Foundation Maths for 2 semesters I have done well in all my other subjects but maths well itrsquos like hitting a brick wall

However I feel more comfortable with computing as I have experienced difference software and feel I can cope

Many of the staff have taken a personal interest in my work I mean you wouldnrsquot expect that Itrsquos beenhellipyeah itrsquos motivated me itrsquos also given me the confidence to ask them questions and thatrsquos something that has really helped me a lot

As no-one is watching over you itrsquos up to you ndash if you want to succeed then you have to put in the time and effort to make things work for you


with study desk etc I feel confident that the tutors can help me overcome any problems with computing

NSC1500 I though science would be a struggle intellectually I still have this idea of university being like Oxford Cambridge ndash the elite So yoursquore expecting everybody to be very clever and intelligent and obviously working hard to get their degree but it wasnrsquot like that

Science is a complete language of its own and in order to succeed or even understand the subject you must have a clear understanding of the style of language and literacy I have come a long way since the beginning of my degree whereby I can now pick up most biology physiology chemistry and microbiology books in the library and I can understand most of what I am reading When I first started the degree I would have not understood most of it it would be like reading a foreign language I also now understand the reason why science is communicated in its particular style as the language and methods of science are the basic building blocks to any concepts They are all inter-related and so my degree in a way was learning the language and ideas of science so that I can apply it to unfamiliar science (new technologies) and figure out for myself what the information means This primes science students for on-going study during their careers whereby they are required to refer to science journal articles to keep up-to-date with the rapid advances in science technology today

Communication First of all I donrsquot know why communication is included as part of a subject I can walk and talk and therefore communication well Nursing is about technical and clinical things and I believe I donrsquot need to use communication in nursing

On your first day here you are not sure if you know anyone you tend to sit by yourself and try and shrink into the background But once you start going to classes and meeting a few people and start having conversations with them you become more comfortable with the environmenthellipfeel more connected to the university and more confident in coming here everydayhellipYou need to interact with the environment to become part of it you need to be able to interact with the

The more I watch and listen to the lecturers and to other students who are working in Blue care and in aged care facilities the more I realise how important communication is I need to be able to fine tune my communication to different contexts and purposes as well as be aware that it is a lot more difficult than I though in terms of potential problems and barriers

This next example reflection has the added advantage of including in-text referencing which shows the portfolio reader that you have consulted the research base

As a beginning nurse it is an important part of my training to develop excellent communication skills by reflecting on my weaknesses and strengthening them


people because they are the environment

When I first got out here I thought how am I going to keep coming to all these lectures and they are boringhellipand what if I donrsquot succeed After the first few assessments you get to learn how by asking questions and I went to study skills things you basically learn what yoursquove got to do ndash yoursquove got to be able to listen got to be able to talk to your teacher got to be able to take notes got to be able to study effectively yoursquove got to be able to use a computer system these are all crucial

As found by Keatinge et al (2002 p19) not listening is an example of a communication in health care I would like to learn more about body language as this is a very strong communication tool and may indicate emotions felt by clients and understandings by different cultures allowing me to assist with issues they may not be able to talk verbally about (Dowd Eckermann amp Jeffs 2005)

hellipI found the library pretty daunting to start with I avoided it for about the first two weeks then I came very early one day before any of the young students were there staring at this silly woman walking around I asked one of the young fellows over there who was extremely unhelpful so I went upstairs and walked around and tried to work it out for myself

The skill of seeking help and information is vital as ultimately a student is responsible for themselves and their own study success and if a student does not understand something then it is essential that they seek help and information successfully and are able to effectively express themselves and their query for further assistance If a student does not develop this skill then they will suffer in silence and ultimately may fail their subject as a result of a small problem manifesting itself throughout the semester and subject On many occasions I have sought information and help in particular when working out problems If I had not approached the lecturer then my final semester results would have suffered Clarifying the problem early also enabled me to better understand the subject matter and future concepts that were taught Donrsquot be afraid to ask if there were anything yoursquore in doubt about rather itrsquod be better to be clear and sure about something than to be unclear and lose a lot of marks and a good grade because of it

Maths

Computing The last time I played around with a computer was when space invaders just came out so Irsquom finding that really


hard thatrsquos the hardest

Databases

Time management

The main barriers I find are having the kids at home and trying to get enough timehellip Itrsquos time really Yoursquore racing around in the morning getting the kids organised Yoursquore racing off to uni Yoursquore going to uni and doing all your tutorials and everything and then yoursquore going home and yoursquore having that family situation again and finding that time to sit aside and say ldquowell OK this is what Irsquove got to dordquo I think my biggest barrier at the moment is organising time Because a lot of the work that you do at uni even though you go to tutorials and that therersquos a lot more that has to be done at home and itrsquos finding those extra 40 hours per week with 4 kids and a husband whorsquos away and home and away and home Itrsquos not easyhellipHubbyrsquos very supportive but kids I find arenrsquot that supportive Theyrsquore not willing enough to help in tidying up things and everythinghellipIrsquove sat down and talked to them But you know you can talk lsquotill yoursquore blue in the face and theyrsquore not going to listen

Financially itrsquos a problem because I have to work I donrsquot have a car and I work most nights late in hospitality and then I have to get up early and be at eight orsquoclock lectures and I find that pretty tough sometimeshellipdefinitely financially it is hardhellipI finish at 1 2 in the morning and the next day when you wake up you get up clean up the house do a bit of washing sit there and do your books Before you know it its time to go back to work again And then you get to Sunday afternoon and the weekendrsquos gone and I think what have I done Irsquove got an excellent timetable and am organized at home but therersquos really not enough time

Critical self-awareness

I have a little bit of self-doubt I suppose the best way that I can explain it is that it doesnrsquot matter what knowledge Irsquove got to now ndash itrsquos worth nothing Irsquove really got to relearn ndash academic writing academic life and academic study Irsquom doing accounting ndash what Irsquove learnt up to now and the way Irsquom being taught the theory now ndash therersquos the conflict What the theory is in the real worldhellip so Irsquove got to say ldquoOkay this is what I know but this is what Irsquove got to learnrdquo So Irsquom going through a purging of information I suppose in a way to come back to the result that is required in the academic atmosphere

University is more process orientated Outside of here you tend to think of a problem where yoursquod jump to a conclusion but within the university ndash everything has a step to another level Yes I think the step-by-step process that every subject every teaching university goes through is a lot different from the outside world ndash itrsquos a mindset you need to take into consideration while yoursquore at university

Participating in class

The tutorials helped me to make friends and I find my friends give me more practical help because they are the ones doing the research and finding stuff and trying to formulate ideas I can ask my friends to read this and tell me if it was OK It gives you a bit of confidence And you can read theirs as well then you can say ndash oh this is really good Have I done that right We push each other to learn from each other and I am finding that quite useful

Balancing study Irsquom again putting too much emphasis on keeping up with it and everyone I speak to say that thatrsquos an impossibility ndash lecturers and tutors and students I

hellipThatrsquos what I really did for the first week ndash was I just went round and read all the signs What does it mean what can I use what canrsquot I use whorsquos


thought no this couldnrsquot be an impossibilityhellipthis is what you have to do to achieve Irsquom starting to learn that you just canrsquot do all this in one hit You have to let things go But at the same token I hope I donrsquot feel too positive about letting everything go because you can catch yourself in a position that you swing from one to the other and itrsquoll be a complete let downhellipSo yoursquove got to balance it all

available whatrsquos it mean So what I really tried to do is after the first week I was here I went home and made a list of the things that I thought were important to help me achieve what I wanted here One was first of all how to research because what Irsquom used to and what the expectation is here are two entirely separate issues So that was important to me Going to the library and being able to find things quickly is important to me as well So that was important Second was that I had to look at what I wanted to achieve from the subject And then I had to look at my commitment level to that I also looked at the things such as lsquoOkay the consultation times are there ndash then Irsquove got to use themrsquo To me thatrsquos just a free benefit ndash itrsquos there to be used And then I had to look at things on top of that lsquoOkay howrsquos this going to impact on my home lifersquo Because Irsquom one of those people with what I do I do 120 And thatrsquos what Irsquom trying to do ndash is draw back and think lsquoOkay Irsquove got to find a balancersquo So thatrsquos what Irsquom trying to do now is find a balance

Reflection 1 Reflection 2

Academic writing

I can write essays as I did the tertiary preparation class I donrsquot know why I need to do this again I got a HD in the tertiary preparation course

After doing an assignment or two I realised that I didnrsquot know too much about academic writing I mean I have basic writing skills in the format of writing an assignment but its just not that effective and I didnrsquot realise that and thatrsquos why I came to some of the study skillshellipone course was also helpful because it reinforced the information

I am learning to play it by the rules

I didnrsquot realise that I need to fine tune academic writing skills to each specific assignment and subject CMS1008 has helped me understand the similarities in academic writing and has helped me work out how to get maximum marks by fine tuning my writing and information to meet the needs of particular assignments For example the introduction in NUR1140 is very small (50-75 words) whereas the introduction in the portfolio needs to be in more depth


because if I donrsquot I canrsquot survive and I wonrsquot do well Like with assignmentshellipif I write the assignment the way I think but donrsquot write it to meet the criteria then Irsquove not achieved its purpose and Irsquoll lose marks

Referencing I was stressed out the first week That was probably the most difficult thinghellip because of the learning curvehellip like referencing ndash what the hellrsquos referencing How do you use the library So therersquos a giant learning curve in the first fortnight Knowing how to reference properly was importanthellipthe first assignment really daunted me If I had known how to reference properly I think I would have done a lot better in that first assignment Itrsquos the basis of all these assignments And I didnrsquot realise how many assignments and reports there would be

Initially I found referencing confusing I didnrsquot understand that you couldnrsquot just copy and paste the citation on the data base and leave it like that in the List of References I didnrsquot understand that I had to change each reference into the Harvard online system and put them in A-Z order by author I lost marks by not understanding that referencing is very picky at university and you have to follow the rules and examples to the letter I also didnrsquot understand the difference between direct and indirect references I find it hard to change the authorrsquos words in technical writing into an indirect quotation

I feel more comfortable with referencing now I realise that it is an important tool at university and that I have to be careful and consistent with it as little mistakes can send markers a bit feral

Expression I tend to write long sentences and didnrsquot realise what the green lines were in spell check My sentences can sometimes be as long as 6 lines I need help to work out how to get them to be shorter

I did some draft paragraphs for Jill and asked her about ways to make my sentences shorter She showed me on my draft and I now understand how to put one point in one sentences and write it directly too This draft process is helping me to write better assignments in all my courses

Databases I feel frustrated about the databases as I am having trouble finding the article I need to for the CMS1008 assignment which also feeds into MAT1008 NUR1120 and NUR1140 course While I like the way the one article can help get good marks in all these courses I donrsquot feel confident in learning how to use the search engines well and especially how to find the right key word searches

I made an appointment to see the Science librarian and she helped my by going over the search strategies and actually helping me find articles to use for the CMS1008 assignment I took the article to the CMS1008 received 10 marks for it and now have a reference I can use in the NUR1120 assignment and in the first and second assignments for CMS1008

Assignments The list of assignments looked so daunting but I know I need to work on them step by step

I am starting to realise how important it is to get some feedback about an assignment before I hand it in The plan for CMS1008 helped me to understand the way the assignment was being


marked and how careful I need to be in obeying assignment directions

Assignment structure

Understanding how to structure a paragraph with a main point was a major leap forward for me Now I know that the main point is not an example or a reference but a main point that needs to be related back to the question It needs to be in my own words too I also realise that by including some in-text references and an example or two I can develop a well rounded paragraph and this is helping me to get through the assignments more quickly

Research skills I have learned a lot from studying at university and I believe it has helped me think even more laterally than previously It has also helped develop analytical skills and resourcefulness for example when researching how to research effectively and solve problems

Communication skills

The more I watch and listen to the lecturersrsquo example and case studies and to other students who are working in Blue Care and in aged care facilities the more I realise how important communication is I need to be able to fine tune my communication to different contexts and purposes as well as be aware that it is a lot more difficult than I though in terms of potential problems and barriers


The 2 professional attributes subjects have increased my skills in communicating culturally interpersonally and technologically I am much more confident as a result of the courses this semester

Team work The military is very group-orientated and I think that university is actually very individualistic and extremely competitive The military is also competitive however if you ignore the group aspect of it you will not get ahead Itrsquos really all about teamwork At university you must have strength within the individual primarily although uni students who work in a group are probably at an advantage if they are in a group and work together as a group The teamwork at university is not as efficient as the military I have noticed in the last 6 months The attitudes at university were quite surprising

Research amp inquiry cluster

Analytical and critical thinking skills

I started wanting to learn and was quite good at it I also started to change the way I thought about myself Going to uni facilitated changes in the way I think and I now have more of an opinion and can be more of an individual Uni gives you the resources to have more of an informed opinion For example I am no longer prepared to accept things at face value

Self-management cluster

Self-management skills

The decision to come to university though huge was just the beginning That decision has led to a plethora of other decisions both big and small I hade to make decisions about time and stress management and about how to balance study work and the demands of my family I didnrsquot realise how much support and organisation was involved Despite the problems which I choose to think of as opportunities to learn Irsquove made friends and know where I can get help if I need to Irsquove learnt that university is where I should be and I didnrsquot really believe it before

Itrsquos got a lot tougher for me I havenrsquot got the support that I thought that I had So that made studying a lot more difficulthellipit was a huge disappointment Been extremely difficult to keep goinghellipIt comes down to the nitty gritty of how much work that you need to put in and how much sacrifice you need to make in your personal life Others around me didnrsquot comprehend that I was going to be so involved and have so little time for them

Irsquove got the responsibility of a child in particular an only child and that is quite demanding on my time Irsquom her mum her best friend her companion her guide and her discipliner She is at school in a composite class I have to keep my schedule between 9 and 2 to pick her up and run her around so I lose a lot of hours I see it as a barrier compared to a normal student who has only got themselves to look after It makes me prioritise it makes me organise my life and the use of my time

Lifelong learning There is a Chinese proverb which says that when a teacher is trying to give knowledge the student should not present with a full bowl instead with an empty bowl and let the teacher pour the knowledge in Then the student is to sift through the bowl for what they donrsquot know and continue this process Because as a student if you think you know it all then you wonrsquot learn anything Learning is an on-going process

I think it (university) will change the sort of lifestyle I will be able to enjoy because I will enjoy greater personal satisfaction and achievement that I wouldnrsquot have had had I not attended university A new attitude of not just learning to get the degree but a change of philosophy of thinking and lifestyle including the understandings that life is continual learning process and that it is important to keep learning scholastically academically vocationally and in all areas of life even after university University has helped change my way of thinking in making what I learn personal part of me instead of learning something just to get the grade and not caring about it once yoursquove got what you want


Literacies amp contexts cluster

Information literacy

The Science librarian helped me by going over the search strategies and actually helping me find articles to use for the CMS1008 assignment I took the article to the CMS1008 class received 10 marks for it and had a reference I used in the NUR1120 assignment and in the first and second assignments for CMS1008 This was the start of understanding how important this literacy was in a university environment I have learnt how to use the data bases and this has led to my more effective assignment writing techniques I also realise it will be skill that I can take into my professional career and even at home with the kids It is a lifelong learning skill

Cultural Therersquos a more multi-cultural blend amongst the students and staff than I usually encounter in my normal everyday activities and life Thatrsquos one of the attractive sides or appealing sides to me because of previous experiences with other cultures ndash visiting Japan on a student exchange ndash I really enjoy and appreciate that

Irsquom a pretty black and white sort of a fellow and a pretty hard bloke to get along with but Irsquom trying to broaden my cultural horizons Itrsquos a big learning experience for me and I hope that by doing this degree that it changes my perspectives and my perceptions and that Irsquoll become more culturally balanced Irsquom accepting the cultural changes more now than I was

University teaches you a different way of thinking Rather than just accepting things you learn to question you learn to take a broader view of things and be a bit more broad-minded

Generic discipline attributes amp capabilities

The first few weeks until you get into the rhythm of study are difficult ndash then just as you achieve the rhythm the assignments all start lining up ndash and your time is shot Its an exercise in time management and discipline I found it hard to turn my brain off one subject onto the next I am the type of person that if I dont understand something it will haunt me and take over my brain until I do This was very difficult as some subjects suffered as I tried to master concepts in others Pre-reading for me was key ndash if I already knew what I was struggling with I would try to focus on this in the lecture hoping to have the lid lifted on the mystery of the concept and then I could focus on the tutorial questions and hopefully consolidate the learning

Evaluations of process progress and content of professional portfolio weeks 8 amp 14

Evaluation reflection week 14 This is a sample written by an enrolled nurse and therefore not really applicable to your situation However it does illustrate the kinds of reflections you can write here It is 457 words in length

The experience of preparing a portfolio for me was undoubtedly the most challenging task of my entire nursing career Never before has there been on such a grand scale the requirement for nurses to verify extended clinical knowledge and clinical skills to meet the requirements for extended practice For this reason the experience for me merged feelings of gratification with feelings of frustration at various intervals I was largely unaware of the process of constructing the evidence the presentation format and the time required Taking the first step and gathering all the required evidence allowed me to realise the enormity of the task that lay before me Nevertheless I was keen to strive ahead with it

I recognise that reflective practice is critical to professional development particularly when undertaking a new professional role such as that of a nurse practitioner Preparing my portfolio was a fantastic tool for reflective practice It enabled me to construct and deconstruct evidence and identify areas that I needed to develop My professional development during this phase was truly evident and not only could I recognise this but importantly my colleagues could as well

The time commitment needed to invest in a portfolio cannot be understated The process of identifying evidence that can best articulate the recommended standards of the Nurses Board of South Australia (2006) is challenging and certainly a process by which the Nurses Board can eliminate potential


candidates if it is felt they do not meet the requirements This ensures consistency in the quality of nurse practitioners and that adequate support structures are in place from the very beginning To produce quality evidence for a portfolio it is advised that evidence be gathered as soon as you commit to the role of nurse practitioner It is certainly not something you can do in a weekend Due to the infancy of the position of nurse practitioner there is time that needs to be devoted to establishing a need for the nurse practitioner role defining a scope of practice setting up policies and procedures relevant to the scope of practice seeking avenues for dissemination of information forming collaborative relationships with other health professionals and most importantly gathering advanced clinical skills that are essential to the role I strongly advocate for completion of a Masters degree because this enables compilation of a large body of evidence over a period of time into a portfolio for submission to the Nurses Board Preparing my portfolio enabled me to see the relationship between the core subjects I had successfully completed in my Masters program and my future role and responsibilities as a nurse practitioner The portfolio assisted me in understanding the requirements necessary for making the transition to the challenging role of the nurse practitioner

Article structure

The article was introduced with an abstract which provided the stance or thesis developed by the article as well as a brief overview of main points The rationales for the article and for the research it describes were also included The paragraphs in the body were short and therefore the information in each paragraph was easy to access however there were only 3 body headings which meant that there was a lot of quite detailed information contained under each heading As the article described a research study that was conducted by the author the article contained the conventional information normally provided in such a study For example there are sections related to the background and significance of the research a review of the literature and the methodology as well as the data collection and analysis techniques used The findings and conclusions were developed towards the end of the article however the conclusion was very short lacking a comprehensive summary of the main points covered by the article However the short conclusion did develop future policy and research directions References were cited in-text and set out clearly in the literature cited section The articlersquos structure was logically developed overall with the use of short paragraphs helping the reader access the main points more easily The article was HMLT rather than a scanned PDF document and included many links which helped to make the information accessible There were links to author journal subjects citations and references which allow the reader to evaluate the articlersquos worth more effectively however linked headings and subheadings may have allowed the reader to move through the paper more quickly
