Research scholarly report – Masters Level Australian University The Unit I am doing Is Workplace injury management. This is linked to a Masters in Rehabilitation Counselling. This must be Masters level work. The topic I have chosen is the role motivation plays in the return to work of people with workplace psychological injuries (stress). Title: RC Research Project Report Marked out of: 100 Task Description: The final submission (in 7313AHS), should take the form of a brief scholarly report, linking the literature reviewed in the previous 4 courses with observations about the research topic in practice (e.g., observations, interviews, or focus group with practitioners on placement) to reflect on how practice could be improved within the chosen topic area. This project aims to provide students with a more integrated program experience and contribute to building their professional identity as Rehabilitation Counsellors and their competence with seeking evidence-based approaches for practice. Length: 1000 words – electronic word count from beginning of intro to end of conclusion including quotes and in text references (Reference list and appendices not included in the word count.) Criteria & Marking: 1. Clearly describe and define the chosen topic and its relevance to the injury management process.*/20 2. Conduct a brief critical review of key literature relevant to the chosen topic, using reliable academic and industry based sources.* /20 3. Discuss the links between the chosen topic and the content of 7320AHS. /20 (I have attached the course description below so you can establish and outline the links) Course Description: Injury and disability management are often practiced in the context of workers compensation and motor accident insurance legislation. Concern over injury and disability in the workplace and in communities is growing as a result of escalating costs, as well as economic and personal impact on injured persons. This course will focus on promoting an understanding of the impact of injury in relation to the individual, return to function, the return to work process and society. Furthermore, it will promote a greater awareness of methods of effective injury management. Current legislative approaches to Injury Management throughout Australasia are based on the concept that an individual who acquires a compensable injury, is able to be returned to function, maintained at work and/or return to the workplace in some capacity as soon as is practicably and safely possible. Provision of suitable duties by employers is an integral part of this process. Counselling and support for the injured person is also crucial to obtaining a safe, successful and durable outcome. Discussion of the role of the Rehabilitation Counsellor in understanding the perspectives of stakeholders in this process will be undertaken. Students will also learn how to develop and monitor an injury management plan for an individual who is injured or ill, that incorporates a continuum of care from the onset of the condition through to recovery. This course was formerly 7020HSV. Incompatible: 7324AHS Injury Management and 7020HSV Injury Management are incompatible with 7320AHS. 1. Based on the review literature and the links with this unit (as per course description), identify a potential focus for further research by proposing a relevant research question or aim, and identify the significance of the proposed research to the injury management process 2. Demonstrate effective academic writing and referencing skills using the APA guidelines. https://sites.google.com/a/griffith.edu.au/griffith-health-writing-and-referencing-guide/apa-referencing-guidelines 4. Based on the reviewed literature and the identified links with 7320AHS, identify a potential focus for further research by proposing a relevant research question or aim, and identify the significance of the proposed research to the injury management process. /20 5. Demonstrate effective academic writing and referencing skills utilising APA guidelines: http://www.griffith.edu.au/library/workshops-training/self-help-resources /20 Add to instructions ‘Students are also asked to propose a brief research question or aim that could be utilised if, hypothetically, they were to pursue the research topic further.’ I have identified gaps in research of the role motivation plays in return to work of people with psychological injuries (stress), in the Australian Public Service. (So at the end of the report I have to note what is missing in literature etc).
