question
the ROLE OF THE RN/APRN IN POLICY-MAKING
Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role.
What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? Empathetic, organized, hard-working, or advocate would all certainly apply. Would you add policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud?
Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation.

question
I need the paper I have attached to provide a concise description of my study.
Provide a concise and accurate description of the study. Describe the research question, significance, and aims for achieving the stated goals. Avoid discipline-specific technical language.
Below is JUST an Example what it should look like this is ONLY an EXAMPLE:
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global public health crisis affecting female youths in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Studies have shown a high prevalence of GBV within SSA, ranging from 42.3% to 67.7%. Healthcare providers (HCPs) are crucial as survivors' first point of contact and are responsible for creating a safe environment. However, there is a notable gap in their training on GBV in SSA, leading to revictimization and survivors not seeking necessary care. While educational interventions have shown promise in improving health outcomes and reducing GBV, most research in this area has been conducted in high-income countries (HICs), leaving the relevance and effectiveness of such interventions in SSA uncertain. Effective interventions to address GBV in resource-limited healthcare settings necessitate understanding locally appropriate strategies. This research project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational training program on GBV for healthcare providers in Nigeria. The study will be conducted at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), a first-generation Teaching Hospital under the Federal Ministry of Health, renowned for providing quality healthcare. Interested participants will attend an in-person educational workshop, enabling direct engagement and interaction. By piloting a GBV survey before and after the training program, the project aims to systematically examine knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy related to GBV screening and response (encompassing sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and stalking) among sub-Saharan African healthcare providers.
This research will develop a comprehensive understanding of GBV prevention and response measures, explicitly focusing on the unique context and resource limitations of healthcare settings in SSA. The project aims to bring together healthcare providers from nursing and midwifery within the teaching hospital, enabling comparisons related to knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy related to GBV screening and response. Findings from this project will inform the development of contextually appropriate prevention and response measures that can be implemented in other Nigerian states and eventually across the entire country. Baseline data will be obtained through pre-and post-surveys, focusing on GBV prevention practices and needs and resources related to GBV in healthcare. This data will inform future intervention pathways and contribute to developing sustainable and effective strategies. Stakeholder engagement at the teaching hospital will be facilitated through various means, including written materials such as policy briefs, case scenarios, lectures, and referrals to relevant resources. This project aims to foster long-term and sustainable change in addressing GBV by raising awareness among healthcare providers across Nigeria. This project fills a critical knowledge gap in provider training on GBV in SSA and contributes to developing evidence-based interventions. It can improve the quality of care provided to GBV survivors, reduce revictimization, and promote sustainable change in addressing GBV. By developing contextually appropriate prevention and response measures, this project has the potential to empower healthcare providers and enhance their preparedness to respond to GBV, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes, reduction in GBV incidents, and promote lasting change.

toolkits, standardized procedures, etc.
2. Review of areas in relationship to medicine, nursing, public health, etc.
3. The review should be critical and synthesize rather than just being a catalog of
studies.
4. Summarize the key findings of the research and its relevancy to your project that
point out the scientific status of the phenomenon under question. Such a
statement includes:
5. What we know and how well we know it.
6. What we do not know.
7. Describe any gaps in knowledge that you found and the effects this may have on
advanced practice nursing as it relates to your project topic.
Your integrative literature review should be 5–6 pages in length, not including the cover
or reference pages. You must reference a minimum of 7 scholarly articles published within the past 5–7

WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT
Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.
In this module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.
To Prepare:
- Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).
- Review the Work Environment Assessment Template*.
- Reflect on the output of your Discussion post regarding your evaluation of workplace civility and the feedback received from colleagues.
- Select and review one or more of the following articles found in the Resources:
- Clark, Olender, Cardoni, and Kenski (2011)
- Clark (2018)
- Clark (2015)
- Griffin and Clark (2014)
