Choosing your research topic is the next step. Remember that you will be working with this topic for the rest of this class, so you should choose something that you find interesting. It is recommended that you choose a topic you would like to investigate related to your major.

You can refer to the list of possible research topics if you need help thinking of a topic. After reading Module 1 of your textbook and watching Picking Your Topic IS Research, you learned that you should do some research on the topic that you are considering to learn more about your topic and check out the sources that are available. This is the point in the research process when it is acceptable to use Wikipedia or other general reference works like encyclopedias and almanacs.

The next step is to do some brainstorming about your topic. Brainstorming will help you think about your topic from different angles and consider different aspects of your topic. There are a number of different brainstorming methods, like asking questions about your topic, outlining, and creating concept maps using websites like bubble.us and Mindmeister. You can use any of these tools, or you can just put pencil to paper and let the ideas flow.

The last step this week is to consider and write your research questions and reflect on the process. The Writing Your Research Question Worksheet will lead you through the process of creating research questions. You must create at least three research questions that are open-ended; address a controversy, issue, or problem; and address your topic in a way that you can take a stand. Writing an open-ended question is sometimes a challenge so take a look at the How to Ask an Open-Ended Question handout before you get started.

Discuss a leader who you would consider to be transformational. If possible, choose a leader located in the Middle East who may serve an instrumental role in Saudi Vision 2030. In your paper, respond to the following:
• Determine the key transformational qualities the leader possesses.
• Based on your research, explain the impact the leader has had on his or her organization.
• Examine the background of your selected leader and explain how he developed the skills to be a transformational leader.
• What are the components of being a transformational leader? Thinking about yourself, determine if you are a transformational leader based on these components.
• Next, examine your potential as a transformational leader and suggest ways for you to develop this type of leadership skill. What would need to happen in order to become a transformational leader?
Directions:

Title: Social Work and Social Media: Online Help-Seeking and the Mental Well-Being of Adolescent
Males
Professor and class,
This article explored the help seeking behaviors of young men. The primary preventive health initiative
was suicidal ideation. If a person has help seeking behaviors they are less likely to have suicidal
thoughts. A survey was given by social workers and completed by teens ages 14-16. The survey
examined how they gained information for their mental wellbeing. All stated they used the internet for
help. Online technologies are fast, free, easily assessable and confidential but they also lack quality
information. Social workers realized they need to find a way to deliver services via the internet and/ or
social media to help young individuals. If they cannot help them directly want to direct them to websites
and applications that are government or medically sponsored. It appeared many of the teens were
knowledgeable regarding the importance of trusted and quality online health information, yet were more
likely to use search engines or social networking sites to find information.
Reading this article I learned that today’s youth are seeking help from others when troubled. Many find
comfort in speaking with friends about problem regarding mental illness. I also learned that the
government could optimize their positions on search engines. If someone googles “depression “, after a
few ads (5) I did find information from the Mayo Clinical and the NIH. The Mayo Clinic even offered a
PHQ-9 screening tool. Both sites are informative if someone were seeking help or information about
depression.

Adolescents and social media

Hausmann and his colleagues (2017) published an article in considering adolescents, social media, and
health. The article is about assessing how the adolescents use social media regarding their health
conditions as well as how they use social media for communicating with their health care provider.
The method of the research was a cross sectional study. The study provided the uniform survey
questions to the young adolescents over 12 years old in outpatient adolescent clinic. The questions
were about how much use social media for information about health, how much they use social media
communicating with their health care provider, and their health conditions.
Of 244 surveys that were provided, 83.6% were filled out, 98% of the participants use social media;
however, 51.5 of them looking for health information in social media. The health information subjects
were 76.2 % related to mood, 57.1 to wellness, and 41,9% to an acute medical condition. A few of the
were 76.2 % related to mood, 57.1 to wellness, and 41,9% to an acute medical condition. A few of the
adolescents that believed they have poor health, were interested to share their condition. Only a small
percent interested to share their health information with the health care provider in social media. It
seems that privacy is the reason that most adolescents were not interested to share their information in
social media. Even, it can be the reason that the adolescents were not interested in patient portal
system. Instead, majority of the adolescent patients favored a much more private means of mind
communication like text message (Hausmann, 2017).
Majority of adolescents spent a lot of time with social media. According to the article about half of them
are interested in looking for health information in social media. I can conclude two points from the
result of the article. First, the motivational factor that make adolescents seek social media as a health
source information is the level of their poor health condition or their perception about their health as a
poor condition. Second, among the adolescents who want to communicate with their health care
provider through social media privacy can be a barrier.

Kim & Lee, (2017) published an article about the researches that have been done about older adults
and smart devices. There are some devises like smart phones or tablets that have been used
somehow for medical conditions. For example, technology applied them as a sensors or computing
power. Also, the researchers believe that the number of baby boomers who are willing to use
technology in their medical care are increasing. They conducted a scoping review using related
studies from MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science date bases. The studies were related
to smart devices, older adults. The result of the study showed that diabetes and heart failure were the
most subjects that were studied. Among 51 articles that met their criteria for consideration, 8 of them
noted self-management supporting strategy, and 4 of them studied the communication ways for
decision making process. As self-management strategies 95% self-monitoring automated feedback
and 38% patient education were used. Of the 23 studies that worked on decision support studies, 10
studies were related to clinical decision making by the patient. Patients used cellular phones. Patients
with asthma and heart failure reported better quality of life. There were Qualitative analysis studies
that considered facilitating technology for older adults and the ones that brought up the barriers.
The conclusion of the study mentioned the need for more studies focusing the geriatrics, vast
research scope, enough clinical evidence for evaluating the outcomes (Kim & lee, 2017).

Mobile Phone Diabetes Project Led to Improved Glycemic Control And Net Saving For Chicago Plan

The purpose of the quasi-experimental study was to examine the impact of a mobile health (mHealth)
The purpose of the quasi-experimental study was to examine the impact of a mobile health (mHealth)
program on the participants glycemic control, satisfaction with overall care, and net cost (Nundy,
Dick, Chou, Nocan, Chin, Peek, 2014). Mobile phones was the chosen platform because they are
owned and used by many patients.
The study participants were adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In addition, these adults had to
have a working mobile telephone. The program provided self-management support as well as team
based care management. Education modules was assigned that consisted of a self-management
topic (exercise, medication, dietary etc.), as well as topics related to living with a chronic illness.
Another aspect of the program consisted of the participants receiving text messages reminding them
to engage in an activity (check blood sugar, time to exercise) and some questions (do you need a
refill) in which responses are texted back. Participant monitoring was based on their responses to
self-assessment questions. Alerts was triggered when any of the responses was outside of the set
parameters. Based on the alert, the nurse either took care of it (low level), or called the patient and
performed a more in-depth assessment (high level)
Although other care management programs and self-management interventions exist, the advantages
of this program included emphasis on self-management, low burden of participation, daily patient
engagement, and always accessible.
A major disadvantage of the program was the inability to be integrated with the health plan’s
Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.
Participants had an improvement in glycemic control, increased satisfaction with overall care, and net
cost savings of 8.8 percent (Nunday et al. 2014).
Mobile health programs can be a useful tool in supporting chronic diseases self-care, reducing cost,
and improving clinical outcomes.
