Level Of Measurement: See Appendix B For Spence Children

585 Words3 Pages

Level of Measurement. The measurements used would be nominal and ratio. The Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (1994; See Appendix B for Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale) is similar to a five-point Likert scale, with the exception of being a four-point scale. The scales are ordinal because although they cannot be quantitatively measured, the qualitative questions can then be put into quantitative categories (Noia & Tripodi, 2008). Some of the scales are ratio because it has a true zero (Noia & Tripodi, 2008). The four-point scale has four answers, which then are divided into four groups, then added together to determine whether the child has an anxiety disorder, based on zero to 60. The child can score above 60, but a score of 60 would indicate elevated …show more content…

The data would be collected and analyzed through a statistical software program. The results would be entered into the program and it would then display the results with the display of a graph. The higher the line on the graph is means the increase of negativity, the decline of the line is positive because anxiety is decreasing, and if the line stays the same then there is no change, which is also not positive. The reason the steady line is negative is because it would show that the intervention (X) is not positive for the outcome or dependent variable (Y) (Noia & Tripodi, 2008).
National Association of Social Worker’s Ethical Standards According to the NASW Code of Ethics (2008), social workers need to provide the participants and their parents with informed consent. The participants and parents who do not understand the proposal will be provided further explanation and informed that it study is optional. Clinicians or social workers also need to ensure that the participants are provided privacy and confidentiality (NASW, 2008). The clinicians would also offer the WL participants CBT after they are finished. Clinicians will not withhold services to clients (NASW, 2008).

    1.1.1 Ethical Considerations Given that the client participant group is characteristically different to those implementing services, a separate section for ethical considerations was contemplated. As before the DH Research Governance Framework for Health and Social Care (2005) and BACP Ethical Framework (BACP, 2013) were consulted for guidance. Many of the same procedures regarding informed consent, confidentiality, data protection, and right to withdraw were re-enacted (see section Interviewing those Implementing Services: Ethical Considerations above). However, it is recognised that this sample represents a potentially vulnerable group, meaning certain approaches were altered to ensure the minimisation of harm. 1.1.1.1

    A therapist may do this once again in order to continue to receive reimbursement from Medicare for their services in order to generate more revenue for the clinic. Prior to the Jimmo versus Sebelius case in 2013, Medicare would deny coverage to patients receiving maintenance care for their condition due to their inability to demonstrate improvement from the skilled therapy services that they received (“Jimmo v Sebelius Settlement Agreement Factsheet,” 2013). However after the Jimmo versus Sebelius case, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services revised portions of the manual which now states that coverage “does not turn on the presence or absence of a beneficiary’s potential for improvement, but rather on the beneficiary’s need for skilled care” (“CMS Manual System,” 2014). The correct action for the therapist to take in order to be in compliance with the rules is to provide adequate documentation as to why the patient would need and benefit from maintenance care services in order to prevent or slow the deterioration of their condition. An alternative would be to discharge the patient if they no longer require skilled and medically necessary services (“Jimmo v Sebelius Settlement Agreement Factsheet,” 2013) (“CMS Manual System,”

    Alicia is in a bind because she wants to give the kids the right to self-determination but she also wants to protect them. According to the NASW code of ethics, "social workers respect and promote the right of clients to self-determination and assist clients in their efforts to identify and clarify their goals. Social workers may limit clients' right to self-determination when, in the social workers' professional judgment, clients' actions or potential actions pose a serious, foreseeable, and imminent risk to themselves or others" (NASW, 2008). When Alicia reached out to Pete Anderson, the clinical director of WCF, to seek advice on how to respond to the group, his response was that she not tell them what to do but help them come to their own conclusions. However, this is also an issue of confidentiality being that it is inappropriate for her to share this information with anyone else unless she informs the group of this disclosure.

    For instance, the practitioners are obligated to constantly inform the participants about plans that pertains to interventions (Reamer, 1987). In addition, it is essential for informed consent to include the following: “What is done, the reasons for doing it, clients must be capable of providing consent, they must have the right to refuse or withdraw consent, and their decisions must be based on adequate information” (Kirk & Wakefield, 1997, p. 275). One of the most dehumanizing incidents that occur is the researchers prohibit the participants’ self-determination. For example, the men were compliant with receiving treatment and to be examined by the physicians.
