Research Proposal on a high percentage of residents in commonwealth funded aged care homes have hisstory of a mental illness; do aged care staff feel apropriately skilled to care for hte symptoms and needs of these people.

Sample Research Proposal Instructions

I am doing masters in mental health practice and working in a nursing home as a carer.
more and more people in aged care have mental illness such as depression, bipolar, schizophrenia and other mental health history and symtoms. Although the aged care organisations get funding for these diagnosis and looking after these people, they fail to give appropriate training to their staff who feel they lack necessary skills to recognise symptoms, to assess and care for these clients.
We as staff often feel scared, are pushed, hit, verbally and physically abused, spat on and feel we havent got the necessary skills to manage behaviours, aggression and symptoms of clients who have mental illness in aged care.
I am proposing to do a research proposal to see how other staff feel, do they believe that the department of health and ageing should look at making it compulary to incorporate mental health training into the aged care course and orgnisations should make it mandatory annual paid training for all staff to refresh in this area of mental health training.

I also need some questions i need to ask the staff for this research that will make them think and support me in my study.

The analysis on the external and internal environment of Primark retailing industry

Introduction The omnipresence of global trends and innovations debunk the idea of business monopoly and empire states. Today, the trends are set to maximize the potential of human powers by trivializing simple phenomena in order to fashion complex and subtle effects. In the minds of prominent sociologists and philosophers these trivialization of occurrences brought about by man's deepest desire of uncovering the truth and meaning of life. However, our correspondence and connection with the truth is indirect and diluted which can only be accessible via representations and constructs. Hence, the necessity, though, not necessarily is, of excavating the truth embedded on phenomena became an ordinary human laborious pursuit. Moreover, due to rapid changes on various aspects of human life our reactions vary depending on the way we perceive it, while forming effective and efficient mechanisms become a mechanical elocutionary act. This fact is paralleled with the nature and condition of b...

Microfinance Enterprise in the third world economy Research Proposal

            Microfinance has grown from a small program in the 1970s in Bangladesh to a worldwide movement today. Microfinance is basically the small loans that are granted to the third world poor. Such microloans are usually provided through non-profit, humanitarian organizations. These new mechanisms are often referred to as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) whose focus is on empowering poor families.             The movement to expand financial services for the poor as a grassroots development strategy is a relatively recent phenomenon. Microfinance, which emphasizes granting small loans to the poorest of the poor without requiring collateral, rests upon the notion that the most impoverished people in developing countries typically do not otherwise have access to traditional financial; services, but that they do possess modest survival skills that make them credit-worthy....
