Objectives:
– Discuss the global capstone topic in terms of a pathophysiologic condition or health state/event that arises as a result.
– Examine the condition utilizing the concepts of the natural history of disease.
– Compare and contrast principles of epidemiology for the condition in the United States versus globally.
Guidelines:
– Each student will use the topic initiated in the Fall 2019 semester in the Foundations of Nursing course.
– From that topic, students will identify a pathophysiologic condition or health state/event that is a direct outcome of the topic.
– Students will write a research-based paper on: 1) how this condition connects to the global topic, 2) the history of the condition and 3) epidemiological characteristics of distribution, determinants and specific populations.
– This paper requires the utilization of at least 4 quality research articles from reliable sources. APA formatting is critical in terms of proper in-text citation and a reference page. Paper should be between 5 and 7 pages (not counting reference page).
– This project will continue next year to a community perspective in NURS 425 with an experiential component and from a global perspective in NURS 445.
