Any inclusion of veterans in the group should be voluntary with the understanding that the group will focus on educating while creating a safe environment for all. An initial interview will be given by a group facilitator in order to ensure proper group placement or to assist in determining…

Second, the author utilized several evidence-based studies in the research include the following: sample from Surgeon General’s list and support from the National Opinion Research Center for interviewing, Guttman scale, and previously research done by other researchers (Robins,…
Matthew Tull, in his article “Stress in Children of Iraq War Soldiers”(2016), informs the reader of the harms and negative impacts PTSD war veterans can have on their family, that can cause an increase in stress and anxiety levels. Brian supports his assertion by providing the reader with factual evidence from credible sources, such as “At both points in time, they found that adolescents with family members serving in Iraq had higher heart-rate levels” (Tull). The authors purpose of this article is to inform the reader of the negative effects that war veterans can inflict in their family and children, in order to prevent and treat the increased stress levels.

According to a survey that the Wounded Warrior Project sponsored, more than 75 percent of wounded veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Steve Nardizzi, the organization's chief executive officer, said that 23,000 veterans answered the survey, which made it the largest data collection since 9/11 for wounded veterans. The annual survey has shown that the injured veterans of this generation continue to suffer from PTSD and traumatic brain injury. What's worse is that the challenges do not seem to get better with time. From 2001 to the first quarter of 2015, more than 300,000 veterans suffered from TBI, and 8,000 of those TBIs were a severe or penetrating TBI that changed the person's life.…
Furthermore, the discrepancy between the veterans that served in the Vietnam War and those that participated in the studies is enormous. It would be beneficial if Congress passes a new law to diagnose all Vietnam War veterans since there is evidence that there is a prevalence of lifetime PTSD and these elders receive the appropriate treatment that they should have gotten 40 years ago. The new study would not be conducted with telephone or mail surveys. Some of our Vietnam War Veterans do not have the skills, abilities, and patience to read and answer surveys or to talk on the phone with a clinical interviewer. The ideal method could be personal interview or face-to-face survey.…
Hi, Andre. Thank-you for taking the time to read my post and pose a really valuable perspective for me as I move forward in the research process. I want you to know that your question was the impetus for me to read ahead to the week 9 'feature article' and really take some time to think about what you asked and where I was previously coming from (which is why it has taken me a little bit of time to respond). In my methods paper I forwarded the following:…
The first step to creating a culturally competent interview would be the research for the interview. The review of the patient records and what is potentially a unique trait for his or her culture while examining the background information on the patient (Bickley, 2017). The preparation should involve examining your personal beliefs and knowledge as well as your appearance and environment for the correct environment for your patient’s needs (Bickley, 2017). Second step to maintaining in comfortable environment for your patient is to greet and establish a rapport with your patient as they arrive (Bickley, 2017). Speaking with your patient with respect and asking them is there anything they need to be more comfortable is vital to ensuring…

Test Design and Evaluation Participants Two groups of participants will be recruited; a control group consisting of healthy American soldiers and an experimental group consisting of American soldiers who sustain a concussion. Participation will be voluntary and participants should be free of any history of concussion or cognitive impairment. Due to the disproportionate gender representation of soldiers only men will be included and participants have to be between 18-50 years. The study will aim to consist of 200 participants (100 healthy soldiers; 100 concussed soldiers), however, if less than 100 participants sustain a concussion the amount collected will be used.…

The Effects of War on Veterans in Afghanistan and Iraq More than half of the 2.6 million Americans dispatched to fight the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq struggle with physical or mental health problems and often begin to feel disconnected from civilian life, deriving from deployment. As stated in the article “After the Wars: A legacy of pain and pride”, written by Rajiv Chandrasekaran and published by The Washington Post. The conditions of being deployed and serving for our country can conclude in widespread consequences within soldiers in which if no help is provided, could become permanently detrimental. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and an increase in suicides are some of…

The reason I chose my mom is because she is an elementary school teacher and has been for about 15 years. Throughout her years teaching, she has taught at two different schools with three different positions between those two schools.…
