Write a proposal paper on how job satisfaction influences job performance

Dissertation Proposal II:

 

Provisional title of your dissertation:

How job satisfaction influences job performance

 

Describe the topic(s) or issue(s) you wish to investigate for your dissertation. These must relate to the subjects that comprise your programme of study, and must clearly indicate what your aims / objectives / research questions will be.

1). Does job satisfaction influence job performance?

2). What aspects of job satisfaction affect job performance?

3). Does working at an NGO company impact job satisfaction thus job performance?

 

What facts or information will you need to gather? How will you access these?

Job performance – what job performance is, what employee satisfaction is, what good performance looks like/is, what a bad performance looks like/is, what designing a workplace is, what impact satisfaction has on employees’ performance, what makes employees satisfied, what does it mean to be happy at work, what is employee well-being, does job satisfaction matter. I will need only the internet, the RKC Library, any books I can find without purchasing, Google scholar, recognisable papers, other peer-reviewed articles, surveys conducted by the NGO company.

 

To which subject area(s) is this proposal – in your view – most strongly related?

Job satisfaction and performance – mental health, employee well-being, performance, satisfaction, stress level

Case Study – Patient

John 67 years

John is a 67-year-old man. Past medical history of Hypertension, asthma with no frequent use of inhalers, Elective surgery L3/L4 decompensation, kidney stones, hiatus hernia and hearing impairment due to lack of oxygen at birth and he lip reads. John’s hobbies are playing golf, walking the dog, watching football especially the team he supports which is Manchester City. John used to work as a Chef but now he is retired. John is married and has one son. John also has two grandchildren. John is catholic.

 

John was at the golf club when he developed chest pain and called the ambulance. Before the ambulance’s arrival, John was unresponsive, and peri arrested and then had cardiac arrest when ambulance crew arrived. The crew did one cycle of chest compressions and x1 shock was given as John’s heart found to be in Ventricular fibrillation (VF) rhythm. Resuscitated successfully.

John was unresponsive on the way to the Emergency department (ED) and then was intubated on arrival. John was treated for Acute coronary syndrome as per Cardiology. Doctors attempted multiple sedation holds but John wasn’t waking up appropriately in result of developing ventilator acquired pneumonia due to being unable to wean off the ventilator. John had a tracheostomy inserted 12 days later. After the tracheostomy insertion, the sedation was turned off and John woke up appropriately but confused. Doctors and nurses obtained the confusion assessment method (CAM) to confirm delirium and this was positive.

Discuss the relevance of health policy in relation to the episode of care.

Clinical Decision-Making Assessment: A report into the clinical decisions made for an episode of care.

You have to write a report on an episode of care that involves clinical decision making.

Consider any clinical placements recent or one that you can remember. Think of an episode of care that was undertaken. This does not have to be good or bad. Please avoid anything that may be personal, emotive or considered poor practice and needs escalating. We are using this as an opportunity to learn why something happened in a particular way or why it may be best for it to be undertaken differently. You are also able to frame this on one of the case studies if you choose to.

The episode of care will provide the framework for the report and the critical discussions and therefore ensure that it has sufficient content to be able to explore, and not too much that it is hard to cover.

Tasks to undertake in order to write the report:

  1. Identify an episode of care. Write down the details.
  2. Consider the clinical decisions made and the processes involved getting to that decision. By

doing this you may uncover elements that you will explore within your episode of care. For instance, experience, ethical or professional aspects may influence the decision-making process.

  1. Write down the key clinical decisions made. Break these down so that they can be explored. You may not choose to write all of these down. Focus on the important aspects

The report has to cover the following aspects

  1. A brief summary of the clinical decisions made.
  2. A discussion of the pathophysiology and pharmacology relevant to the episode of care
  3. The importance of person-centred care and involving patients in their decisions around the

planning and implementation of their care.

  1. Discuss the relevance of health policy in relation to the episode of care.
  2. Critical discussion and evidence to support or refute the decisions that were made
  3. Evaluating the effect of the decision

Included in the report there must be consideration towards:
Ethical issues and professionalism.
Systematic approaches to care, for instance the Nursing process.
There must be critical discussion and evidence to support your writing from a wide range of sources. Word count 2500+/- 10%

Design and justify a research proposal on a topic relevant to Draft RP – Attached

Description

Critically analyse and evaluate relevant literature to justify the choice of topic. Detail a methodology to gather and evaluate evidence to achieve the research aims (LO: 3, 4, 5). Critically evaluate the utility and limitations of the proposed research to existing approaches to personalised, stratified and population-based nutrition and justify this analysis and evaluation by relating your evaluation to a critical analysis the similarities and differences between the different paradigms and their implications for clinical practice (LO: 1, 2). With reference to concepts from the philosophy of science, critically evaluate how statistical models and/or clinical tools could be constructed to support a personalised and evidence-based approach to nutrition practice on this topic. Critically evaluate any ethical issues and socio-economic barriers to and consequences of the use of these models and/or clinical tools in healthcare (LO: 2, 5, 6). Aim to include 60 references. 5000 (± 10%) words (100%)

investigate whether IBS contributes to the increased mental health conditions.

Even though IBS is rare, it affects many people in our societies, some without their knowledge. Because it causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation, failure to effectively treat the condition might escalate it to chronic stages that are hard to manage. A mixed qualitative thematic analysis and quantitative will be used in researching IBS and its association with mental health.

1.2. Background Literature

 

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the digestive health conditions that attack the gut. According to Card, Canavan, and West (2014), IBS prevalence is between 10% and 25% in a community. The study further notes that IBS affects about 11% of the global population. Fewer studies have been conducted to determine the link between mental health and IBS. However, Fadgyas-Stanculete, Buga, Popa-Wagner, and (Dumitrascu, 2014) found out that IBS causes psychological distress and psychiatric comorbidities like increased anxiety depression which deteriorate a patient’s mental health. The study does not explore how IBS leads to patients’ mental deterioration. Therefore, research needs to be done to determine how IBS is linked to mental health conditions.

1.3. Project Aims and Objectives

 

Aims

  1. Evaluating how IBS is linked with mental health.
  2. Analyzing the effects of IBS on a patient.
  • Determining the best intervention measure to prevent the condition.

 

 

Objectives

  1. To investigate whether IBS contributes to the increased mental health conditions.

To determine IBS’ pathophysiological mechanism and how it can be prevented to prevent the escalation of mental health cases associated with IBS patients
