Description

This assignment is to provide a research proposal outline, i.e. a draft, if you will, of you research proposal.

The submission at this point should include, in APA format, all of the essential topic subtitles from the guide on your chosen question and research type (qualitative vs. mixed method vsquantitative).The outline may contain the parts you feel you have finished writing, or may simply include notes on your choices, and how you intend to complete the section over the next very few weeks.

The proposal (project, paper) need not be complete for this particular assignment, but needs to have all the parts listed and how you intend to flesh out the formal proposal.

APA Format for titles (MUST apply)

Sections to be completed and proof read (Writing center is available) prior to submission includes:

  1. Introduction to the problem, background, guiding questions, delimitations and limitations, significance of the study (the reason you feel it is important.
  2. REFINED Literature review
  3. The EXISTING theory and practices (if applicable)
  4. References
  5. List of expected appendices

Differences in Civilian and Military Training 1 Running Head: STUDY OF THE DIFFERENCES IN CIVILIAN AND MILITARY TRAINING A Proposal to Study the Differences in Civilian and Military Medical Training Techniques For Use in Disaster Operations Kevin Hinkle DMM 651 Philadelphia University Differences in Civilian and Military Training Abstract This descriptive study examines the differences and effects of civilian and military medical training in preparation for disaster operations. Much of the training that technicians and providers receive during their course of training or preparation may be similar in content, but may have different approaches to training. Using a standard questioning process, individuals involved in the training or the development of training will be interviewed and their responses analyzed and reported. 2 Differences in Civilian and Military Training 3 A Proposal to Study the Differences in Civilian and Military Medical Training Techniques For Use in Disaster Operations This is a descriptive study to examine the differences and effects of civilian and military medical training in preparation for disaster operations. Disasters that have occurred in the past decade have made the civil-military relationship in these operations more important to operational success and survival of victims. Much of the training that technicians and providers receive during their preparation of these operations may be similar in content, but may have different approaches to training. Are these differences due to a cultural affect or linked to a training doctrine? Purpose To determine if there are any cultural elements involved in the training of civilian and military medical personnel in preparation for disaster events. Identifying these differences may assist those who develop training programs or curriculums to better achieve training goals and standards. Questions 1) Does the atmosphere or environment surrounding civilian or military training provide a significant difference in the quality of the training? 2) Could instructors/trainers function equally as well, teaching the same material but in a different environment? 3) Would students feel inhibited in each other’s environment? Differences in Civilian and Military Training 4 Objective To determine if cultural or environmental differences diminish the quality of training needed in preparation for disaster operations. Hypothesis Those who have experienced both types of cultures and environments will be more likely to express a level of uneasiness during the training, but their ability to effectively provide care during a disaster operation will not be diminished. Significance of Study The use of military assets over the past decades in response to disasters and other calamities has increased significantly. Today’s military has been dubbed the “911 response force” due to its ability to provide rapid and extensive resources in times of emergencies. Training of both civilian and military medical personnel for these types of operations has taken on a new significance. Along with this has been a dramatic increase in the knowledge base needed by all levels of practitioners to safely operate within these missions. If cultural or environmental differences exist in how the training is presented, this may prove to be an inhibitor to quality training. Identifying these factors accurately may prove invaluable in order to ensure that civilian and military providers are educated properly. Limitations The results of this study would be limited to disasters where the civil-military interface was significant and where common training programs were available equally among both Differences in Civilian and Military Training populations. Another factor could be the availability of qualified personnel, both military and civilian, to be interviewed. Review of Literature There are few documents or studies that focus on this topic and several are just emerging. There are a few reasons for this. First is terrorism. Since the first Trade Center bombing to today’s events, there has been a lot of work done on training, but little with civilian-military collaboration. Some of this could be attributed to the roles that each would play in a terror response- primary versus secondary. Next is the post-Katrina phase, where the military played a very active and aggressive role in support of disaster operations. Many medical units of all branches stepped up and supported many communities, often as primary care givers. Last is the time delay from study to publication. There are still scholarly papers being presented now from events several years ago. As this study evolves, the search for relevant studies and documents will be continuous. Methods Research Design Utilize a group of individuals from both the civilian and military training areas who have significant experience in preparing medical providers for disaster operations. Subjects will be interviewed using a standardized survey instrument designed to determine their abilities in training and determine any cultural differences 5 Differences in Civilian and Military Training 6 Population and Size The population for this study will consist of all adults from both the military and civilian communities. All will have trained or participated in common educational activities which will include classroom instruction or field exercises. These participants will come from all levels of educational preparation prior to training others, all genders and ages. A sample size of 25 individuals is anticipated. Participant Selection Those selected will come from a known pool of trainers, planners or curriculum developers from civilian organizations involved in training providers and responders, and from military sources who are certified to teach like courses to military personnel. These participants may be drawn from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), National Guard Bureau (NGB), Unites States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), United States Air Force Air Education and Training Command (USAF AETC), and local healthcare/response agencies. Instrumentation The survey instrument will be a combination of a multi-question document consisting of two sections; basic demographic data, and open ended questions. The demographic data will also include questions to determine length of training experience and highest educational level completed. Data Collection Differences in Civilian and Military Training 7 Data would be collected by utilizing direct, structured interviews either in person or by another electronic medium. It is recognized that not all individuals willing to participate in this research may be available for face to face interviews, primarily due to distance or duty. The demographic data of the study participants would be analyzed to determine if there is any correlation between this and their interview responses. Work Plan Currently the literature and material review is underway and will be continuous until the final comparisons and surveys are completed. Surveys and interviews should only take one week, since most of the participants are readily accessible in person or electronically. It is the intent to complete all work in the next three weeks and have the final document ready for submission by the established deadline. References This is still a work in progress. This will be submitted as part of the draft work shortly. Appendices The sample survey will be included in this area once it is completed. Additional documents may be included as the research moves forward and is relevant to the topic.
