Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Crossover Experiments

Crossover Experiments

Crossover experiments, also called the repeated-measurements design, is a study design in which all experimental units are exposed to all treatments in different periods. Crossover experiments are generally used in psychology, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, and medicine.
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.

Creative Thinking

Creative Thinking

Creative thinking encompasses innovative and unconventional methods for addressing challenges, often leading to groundbreaking solutions. Instead of focusing solely on enhancing existing systems, such as increasing smartphone battery capacity, creative thinking might inspire advancements like energy-efficient batteries or processors that minimize power consumption. This multidimensional approach underscores the importance of exploring novel pathways to innovation.
Divergent thinking is the...

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Study Design in Statistics

Study Design in Statistics

A study design is a set of techniques that allow a researcher to collect and analyze data from different variables defined for a specific research problem. Statistics is commonly for effective study design and more robust experiments,
Does aspirin reduce the risk of heart attacks? Is one brand of fertilizer more effective at growing roses than another? Is fatigue as dangerous to a driver as the influence of alcohol? Questions like these are answered using randomized experiments with proper...

Background:

Creative Health initiatives are recognized for their benefits to individual wellbeing and population health.
Recommendations advocate for integrating arts-based education and practical experience for healthcare students and professionals.
This study reports on a pilot creative health placement designed for undergraduate nursing students at a UK university.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a pilot Creative Health placement for undergraduate nursing students.
To assess the placement's impact on students' knowledge of arts-based activities and social prescribing.
To reflect on the value of creative health placements in nursing and provide recommendations for future programs.

Main Methods:

A mixed-methods approach, employing ethnographic principles, was used for evaluation.
Data collection involved ethnographic data (diaries, reflections) and quantitative surveys from students.
Feedback was gathered from service users, artists, and practice assessors/supervisors through forms and focus groups.

Main Results:

The placement enhanced students' understanding of creative health and social prescribing, though conceptualization within nursing practice posed challenges.
A significant majority of students (81.8%) gained insight into creative health practice from artists, and 86.4% understood its impact on wellbeing.
Service users reported positive experiences, while artists and assessors desired improved collaboration for learning and assessment.

Conclusions:

The pilot creative health placement was successful, yielding valuable lessons for future iterations.
Creative health placements should be considered an essential component of nursing curricula.
Further collaboration between educators, artists, and healthcare professionals is recommended to optimize learning outcomes.
