State the null hypothesis for the Baird and Sands (2004) study that focuses on the effect of the GI with PMR treatment on patients’ mobility level. Should the null hypothesis be rejected for the difference between the two groups in change in mobility scores over 12 weeks? Provide a rationale for your answer. The null hypothesis is that the woman receiving guided imagery show no greater improvement in their pain scores than the control group after 12 weeks. The study results indicated significant improvement in mobility scores of women who received treatment (F(1, 22)= 9.619, p = 0.005).
Primary findings showed that subjects in the induced hypocrisy group responded more positively to condom purchase than the other 3 groups. The researchers interpreted that subjects have taken action to follow safer sex practices in order to reduce the dissonance created when realizing their own hypocrisy. No significant differences were found between the groups in estimating past risky sexual behaviour, while slight differences were found in future estimates of condoms use. However, follow-up interviews did not indicate a significant difference in condom usage three months after the experiment. The authors concluded that the technique of
As shocking as this result was, it only increased the reason for more research to be done into Ehlers Danlos syndrome. Another 30% actually knew of people who have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and it believed that this percentage was most likely those who had heard of it before the survey. Remarkably 100% of all responders agreed that more research should be done to find a cure for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome as well as that more collagen should be reserved for collagen transplants for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome rather than Botox or fillers. All responders also agreed that more research should be done about collagen transplants rather than on how to improve Botox and fillers. Based on the knowledge they had gained about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome after reading the information summary, 100% of all responders agreed that by finding a way to stimulate cells to produce more collagen, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome could be cured.
This paper aims to explore the multiple factors that contribute to the occurrence of STDs in the older adult population. This paper will also identify possible implications for social work practice in order to address the occurrence of STDs in older adults. Many people assume that older adults no longer participate in sexual activity and they are considered to be at low risk for contracting STDs; however, this is a misconception. Studies have found that the majority of older adults report high levels of sexual interest well into their 70s (Hillman, 2008). In recent years, the diagnoses of STDs in older adults have sky rocketed.
Although African Americans constituted almost 42% of the entire follow-up cohort, they were only 6% of those reporting any Meth use. With regard to recidivism, those who used Meth (81.6%) were significantly more likely than those who did not use Meth (53.9) to have been returned to custody for any reason or to report committing any violent acts in the 30 day prior to the follow-up interview (23.6% vs. 6.8%, respectively)." The author also provides charts to depict the
“Suspected diabetes” would be a better term, however, because the single test used by the CDC may be wildly unreliable. In 2001 a French study of 5,400 men reported that 42 percent of the men who tested positive for diabetes using the CDC method turned out to be nondiabetic when checked by a “gold standard”
No interaction was found between gender and infidelity type. Gender Differences in Distress and Jealousy for Different Types of Infidelity An experiment done by Cann, Mangum, and Wells examined the distress of men and women in response to emotional and sexual infidelity. This study sought to replicate previous findings and extend these previous findings by looking at attitude factors. Participants consisted of 90 females and 66 males enrolled in an undergraduate psychology class. The ages of participants ranged from 18 to 34 years.
O'Connor also reports in a study done on 473 people that were prenatally exposed to alcohol 44% were diagnosed with major depressive disorder, 40% had psychotic disorders, and 20% had bipolar disorders(Women's Health1). Studies on prenatal alcohol exposure and relation to IQ show varying severities. It was noted that some children for unknown reasons are more susceptible than others to the effects of alcohol. An article in Journal of School Health by Jennifer H. Green reports on a review of studies done showing an average IQ for people with fetal alcohol syndrome at 65.73 with a range of 20-120 (Green 1). Fetal alcohol syndrome is a preventable problem.
I would need to be structured, creative, and positive to help her find ways to deal with the Alzheimer’s. - Location of Treatment I will treat Mrs. Sanders as an out-patient unless her Alzheimer’s becomes so sever that she can no longer care for herself or is a danger to herself. - Interventions to be used I will educate Mrs. Sanders on depression and Alzheimer’s disease. I will do some individual therapy with her to help her deal with the problems in her life and to prepare her for what will come. -Emphasis of
Hymowitz explains that even though numbers of suicide remain small, it has more than doubled in the last thirty years. The use of drugs and alcohol among tweens is increasing as well, but she uses in eighth graders in her example which means children from the ages 13 to 14 so this statement does not apply to tweens. So, should the reader trust that the statistics are accurate, or could they be the author’s invention? These last few topics are brought up very briefly throughout her article. With these topics being brought up very briefly it makes the article appear very
