  • “Program Critique: Examining Cultural Competence, Ethical Principles, and Social Justice in a Chronic Disease Self-Management Program” “Integrating iCARE and Social Justice Principles to Promote Cultural Competency in Nursing Practice”

    Overview
    You will complete five program critique assignments in the course to support your work as you prepare for your final project. These assignments ask that you critique a program described within an identified article located in the module’s resources. These articles were chosen because they relate to the module’s topics and demonstrate some common problems that programs encounter. In each assignment, you will have the opportunity to critique certain program components, such as resources, activities, outcome measures, use of feedback loops, assumptions, and external barriers. Once planners have identified the details for each of the program components, they must step back and assess how those components can best operate within the program’s environment. That involves considering concepts such as cultural competency, systems thinking, ethical practice, and others. You will focus on these different concepts, in turn, through the program critiques. As you develop your program critique skills, you will be asked to identify areas that could be or need to be improved and offer recommendations.
    In this assignment, you will critique a health or healthcare program using the program critique reading in the Resources section of this module. The reading portrays example program decision-making relevant to module content. The selected program critique reading is the required reading for this assignment. For this assignment, you will identify the activities used to achieve cultural competence. Then, you will explain whether the given program satisfies the four key ethical principles. Finally, you will describe additional activities that would help ensure the program has met the principles of social justice.
    This assignment will help you analyze how your program is expected to address cultural competence and satisfy key ethical and social justice principles. It will also ask you to consider the importance of health literacy when interacting with targeted populations. You will use findings from this assignment to improve your strategy to address cultural competence in your program.
    Prompt
    Write a program critique that examines a health or healthcare program designed to improve self-management for individuals living with chronic disease. As you develop your critique, assess the program’s design to achieve cultural competence. Determine if each of the four key ethical principles were satisfied and if the principles of social justice were considered.
    Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
    Social Justice Principles: Determine whether the program considered principles of social justice, providing examples to support your claims. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
    Which principles of social justice were met and which weren’t? Justify your rationale.
    What activities would you add to improve this aspect of the program?
    Key Ethical Principles: Explain whether the program satisfied the four key ethical principles required of program designs, providing examples to support your claims. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
    Why is designing and evaluating a program in an ethical manner important?
    What improvements would you suggest for this program to ensure it adheres to ethical principles?
    Cultural Competence: Determine whether the program adequately addressed cultural competence, explaining your rationale. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
    What additional activities would you suggest to address cultural competence in the given program?
    Do you believe the program’s cultural competence activities impacted the outcomes? Why or why not?
    Summary and Recommendations: Summarize your findings from the program analysis and share your recommendations to improve the consideration of cultural competence, social justice, and ethical principles. Consider the following question to guide your response:
    What would you do differently to ensure the given program satisfies key ethical and social justice principles and addresses cultural competency?
    Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support.

    Private or Mercenary Armies
    In an age where cyber warfare is more common than the physical battlefield, it may be necessary for the private sector to stop playing defense and go on offense, Gen. Michael Hayden said on August 1, 2011. Hayden, who led the National Security Administration and Central Intelligence Agency under president George W. Bush, said during a panel discussion at the Aspen Security Forum in Aspen, Colo. that the federal government may not be the sole defender of private sector companies—and that there is precedent for such action. “We may come to a point where defense is more actively and aggressively defined even for the private sector and what is permitted there is something that we would never let the private sector do in physical space,” he said. “Let me really throw out a bumper sticker for you: how about a digital Blackwater?” he asked. “I mean, we have privatized certain defense activities, even in physical space, and now you have got a new domain in which we donot have any paths trampled down in the forest in terms of what it is we expect the government—or will allow the government—to do”. Blackwater is a private military contractor that has changed its name to Academi after incidents in Iraq gave them a negative image. If companies decide to hire forces (hackers) to strike back or conduct recovery operations it could change the cyberspace battlefield dramatically (Winterfield and Andress, 2013).
