DPI
The PICOT question is: To what extent is there a relationship between the standard health education to implement patient-specific dietary and lifestyle modifications compared to patients who receive culturally tailored diabetes education and the reduction of A1C levels among Asian Americans newly diagnosed for type 2 diabetes after 3 months following initial diagnosis?
Topic 1.
This DPI will use a quantitative research design that is correlational. Though Abrahamse, Schultz and Steg (2015) indicate that a quasi-experimental study is helpful for identifying a cause-and-effect relationship, this study assumes that a relationship exists between the variables and the question asked is regarding the extent to which the relationship is significant. A correlational research design is appropriate when the study seeks to determine the extent of a relationship between two variables (Mills, Gay & Airasian, 2012). Here, the relationship between culturally-tailored health instruction on diabetes and the reduction of A1C levels is compared to the relationship between standard health education and A1C levels
In this DPI, the independent variable being investigated is the intervention—health education—and the dependent variable is A1C levels. Whether culturally tailored diabetes education is more effective than standard health education on dietary...
To answer that question, a quantitative method is useful, as it provides a statistical way to measure the outcome to see if one variable is more significantly effective than another.
The quantitative method provides statistical evidence that can be analyzed using tests to explain the data. The method is different from qualitative approach in that the latter looks to identify themes and concepts that can explain a phenomenon. Quantitative method provides numbers and statistics that can be used to show a relationship or the extent of a relationship between variables, which is why it aligns with this particular PICOT question.
Topic 2.
Matched comparison group design aligns with methodology described in Topic 1. The two groups compared in the PICOT are 1) Asian Americans newly diagnosed for type 2 diabetes, receiving culturally tailored diabetes education to implement patient-specific dietary and lifestyle modifications, and 2) Asian Americans newly diagnosed for type 2 diabetes, receiving standard health education to implement patient-specific dietary and lifestyle modifications.
The correlational design fits with the quantitative method in that it allows two variables to be compared so that the extent to which there exists a…

Strategic Points for a Project Mentorship in Nursing Leadership and the Effects of Evidence-Based Practice: An Integrated Literature Review. Background of the problem/gap; The integration of evidence-based into clinical practice in relation to knowledge derived from research has been a complicated process despite the increased interest in evidence-based practice (Sandstrom et al., 2011). Recent literature in relation to supervision of nurses indicates that nurses value mentorship opportunities because they help in developing practice
……Pre-diabetes and Diabetes Early Awareness Education and Its Effects on BMISubmitted by:Nancy L. Gee Comment by Pamela Love: Looks like an interesting project, Nancy.Very good start! Be sure whenever you submit your manuscript that you change wording from �study� to �project� and avoid referring to the project as research. Review carefully for grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, format, or APA errors. Pay close attention to the reviewer�s comments as you continue

Description of Study and Design to Be Used in Future Research ProjectTopic 1. Describe a vulnerable population in terms of research. Why the population is considered vulnerable? What other groups might also be considered vulnerable populations?A vulnerable population in terms of research is a population that is often overlooked by the academic community or a population that does not fit in with the mainstream sample. Waisel (2013) states that: �vulnerable
A study published in 2007 suggested that "The ASCA National Model can help school counselors think proactively about how they can best serve the students in their schools, and it contains ideas and tools for developing comprehensive school counseling programs that use the current best practices in the field" (Dimmit, Carey, 2007, p. 227).This study will attempt to discern whether those standards have been met. If they have not, then
" (Brown, 1996, p. 74) That potential of globalization can be attributed directly to the current business processes working to its fullest capabilities. Some may think that these trends towards globalization are new to the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. In a sense that is true because of the fact that our current globalization phenomenon can be linked with the advent of our new technology, financial methods and distribution channels to any
