Supplements

The text is difficult to read and there are far more engaging books on this subject. Really not applicable to widening participation students.

I will be recommending this book for health care degree learners. The book is set out well and has a variety of information that is useful not only when preparing for dissertation in both health care and social work. Some sections go beyond dissertation and thus also can be an invaluable reference book when in professional practice.

this text is recommended for all Undergraduate students about to embark on their major project

very helpful book easy to navigate.

This the perfect text for our public health department's junior year writing course.

This book was sent during the summer when I was unable to review it in enough depth. However I shall be suggesting it as a supplemental text

This book will be recommended to our students. It contains some invaluable chapters that students will find useful.

This is a useful text which contains valuable information for all undergraduate students completing their dissertaion. I have given it a personal recomendation to a number of students who have learning differences as I feel it will benefit them particualrly.

In addition to midwifery students, I will also be recomending this text to nursing, radipgraphy and social work students I am in contact with during Interprofessional learning modules.

A book I have recommended to several students enbarking on writing their dissertation. No feedback as yet as to whether sudents have found it useful.

Presented in a question and answer ‘manual’ style text this book is a must have for undergraduates wishing to get a successful grasp on the complex field of research. It offers a clear introduction to various types, approaches and methods used and accepted within the discipline of Health and Social Care. Te title of the book does not do the text justice - it would be advisable to obtain this user friendly read before approaching any written paper/essay involving research, and can then be referred to during extended projects as a guide to focus and keep on track!! With plenty of suggested further reading this book makes a great companion on an otherwise, LONELY journey.

A thesis is a substantive and original body of work that allows the student to synthesize and integrate knowledge from their public health course work and practicum experiences, apply it to a particular topic area, and communicate their ideas and findings through a scholarly written product. The thesis represents the culmination of the student’s educational experience in the Vanderbilt MPH Program.

The thesis may take on different formats, depending on the student’s track focus and interests. Regardless of the format chosen, the student must apply critical thought, systematic analysis, and clear presentation.

Each student is responsible for identifying a topic and appropriate format for their thesis with the assistance and guidance of faculty advisers and faculty thesis readers.

The practicum product must be distinct from the thesis. Although the practicum and thesis can be related, the student must be able to articulate how the two projects are independent from one another. The practicum is a practice experience that allows students to apply and develop skills in public health concepts. The thesis is the synthesis and integration of knowledge acquired in coursework and through the practicum and results in an original scholarly work.

Healthcare Dissertation Topics

Published by Carmen Troy at January 4th, 2023 , Revised On August 16, 2023

Health care education brings together the science and arts of medicine along with the practice of general education. Healthcare is an education program that is tremendously significant for humans and society.

Medicine, nursing, and all other related health care fields provide a substantial understanding of living beings, disease trends, treatment, treatment outcomes, functional abilities, disabilities, and much more.

The primary purpose of healthcare is to ensure people’s health, look after the patients, and provide information about health risks and their effects. Health care education provides knowledge and information about life and helps survival, to say the least.

We all rely on the health care system to get physically well and resume the mundane course of life after getting affected by a health risk.

Therefore, studying health care is of immense importance as it offers you the opportunity to serve humanity by looking after their health. If you are studying health care science, you will need to complete a dissertation to complete a degree and practice its laws and principles.

It is always a highly complex task to begin the dissertation or even find the motivation. Choosing the right topic can help you cross their mental barrier, however. Look at some of the potential healthcare dissertation topics mentioned below to take an idea for starting your dissertation.

100+ Healthcare Research Topic Ideas To Fast-Track Your Project

Finding and choosing a strong research topic is the critical first step when it comes to crafting a high-quality dissertation, thesis or research project. If you’ve landed on this post, chances are you’re looking for a healthcare-related research topic , but aren’t sure where to start. Here, we’ll explore a variety of healthcare-related research ideas and topic thought-starters across a range of healthcare fields, including allopathic and alternative medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, optometry, pharmacology and public health.

NB – This is just the start…

The topic ideation and evaluation process has multiple steps . In this post, we’ll kickstart the process by sharing some research topic ideas within the healthcare domain. This is the starting point, but to develop a well-defined research topic, you’ll need to identify a clear and convincing research gap , along with a well-justified plan of action to fill that gap.

Examples: Healthcare Dissertation & Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a healthcare-related research topic, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses to see how this all comes together.

Below, we’ve included a selection of research projects from various healthcare-related degree programs to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

• Improving Follow-Up Care for Homeless Populations in North County San Diego (Sanchez, 2021)
• On the Incentives of Medicare’s Hospital Reimbursement and an Examination of Exchangeability (Elzinga, 2016)
• Managing the healthcare crisis: the career narratives of nurses (Krueger, 2021)
• Methods for preventing central line-associated bloodstream infection in pediatric haematology-oncology patients: A systematic literature review (Balkan, 2020)
• Farms in Healthcare: Enhancing Knowledge, Sharing, and Collaboration (Garramone, 2019)
• When machine learning meets healthcare: towards knowledge incorporation in multimodal healthcare analytics (Yuan, 2020)
• Integrated behavioural healthcare: The future of rural mental health (Fox, 2019)
• Healthcare service use patterns among autistic adults: A systematic review with narrative synthesis (Gilmore, 2021)
• Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Combatting Burnout and Compassionate Fatigue among Mental Health Caregivers (Lundquist, 2022)
• Transgender and gender-diverse people’s perceptions of gender-inclusive healthcare access and associated hope for the future (Wille, 2021)
• Efficient Neural Network Synthesis and Its Application in Smart Healthcare (Hassantabar, 2022)
• The Experience of Female Veterans and Health-Seeking Behaviors (Switzer, 2022)
• Machine learning applications towards risk prediction and cost forecasting in healthcare (Singh, 2022)
• Does Variation in the Nursing Home Inspection Process Explain Disparity in Regulatory Outcomes? (Fox, 2020)

Looking at these titles, you can probably pick up that the research topics here are quite specific and narrowly-focused , compared to the generic ones presented earlier. This is an important thing to keep in mind as you develop your own research topic. That is to say, to create a top-notch research topic, you must be precise and target a specific context with specific variables of interest . In other words, you need to identify a clear, well-justified research gap.

Abortion Is Health Care

• Viewpoint Defining Exceptions in Abortion Bans Carmel Shachar, JD, MPH; Susannah Baruch, JD; Louise P. King, MD, JD JAMA

On December 11, 2023, the Texas Supreme Court issued a stunning ruling when it reversed a lower court order permitting a woman to obtain an abortion through an exception to the Texas abortion ban. The Texas Supreme Court ruled that the woman did not have an “emergent medical condition” that qualified for the exception even though she was carrying a fetus with trisomy 18, which is a rare, fatal genetic condition. 1 The woman’s physician warned that carrying the fetus to term would place her health, life, and future fertility at risk. The result was that, at 21 weeks of pregnancy, she was forced to leave Texas to receive the health care she needed.
