Question.3524 - In a seamless posting, please incorporate the following into your initial posting: Review recently published (within the past five years) peer-reviewed scholarly articles located in the AMU/APUS University's online library databases. Discuss a criminal justice, intelligence studies, international relations or security management topic requesting instructor approval of the topic you would like for your research proposal (term project) paper. In doing so, please remember for this class you are selecting a topic NOT for writing a research paper about, but rather for writing a proposal to do actual hands-on research using scientific research methodology. In your discussion post discuss what you have identified in the current peer-reviewed literature located in the APUS Library databases on a topic you wish to research. Briefly discuss the literature and express what still needs to be researched or requires further research on the topic you would like to address in your research proposal. In other words, did the authors of the studies already done on this topic you reviewed call for further research on the topic or something to do with the topic? Then again, perhaps you identified a problem that still needs to be researched on the topic where the current literature is lacking. If so, discuss what it is and how it pertains to the topic and why it needs to be researched and who would benefit from the research. After doing so, you are to provide a 'Working Title' to obtain (instructor approval) for your Research Proposal, as discussed in this week's lesson. Understanding this may change as your Research Proposal develops during the course.

Topic Proposal: Lived Experiences of Health Professionals: Impact of Digital Technology in Global Health Emergencies Working Title Proposal: Global Health Responses: Health Professionals' Experiences and Impact of Digital Technology Summary The COVID-19 pandemic clarified how important digital technology is to handling international health emergencies, from data collection in real-time to communication plans that help shape public opinion. Digital tools have become indispensable for health professionals, but more is needed to know how they have individually dealt with and adjusted to this dependence. The lived experiences of these professionals are still largely unresearched, especially about how digital technology impacts their day-to-day operations, decision-making procedures, and emotional stability in times of crisis. Kringos et al. (2020) and other recent research highlight the value of real-time data and performance intelligence in enhancing health system reactions. The subjective experiences of the medical professionals utilizing these instruments, particularly in settings with limited resources or political constraints, have not received enough attention. Burkle (2020) also points out that autocratic governments obstruct successful digital integration by suppressing or manipulating health data. This necessitates more investigation into the real-world experiences of medical personnel employed in such settings. Research Questions: How do health professionals experience and perceive the use of digital technology in managing global health emergencies? What are the lived experiences of health professionals regarding integrating digital technologies into their response strategies during pandemics? What challenges and benefits do health professionals encounter when using digital tools during global health emergencies? Scope of further research Although digital technology's function in managing global health has been well studied, more is needed to know how it affects front-line health practitioners. More research is required to learn more about how digital tools affect people's decision-making, teamwork, and stress levels in times of crisis. Furthermore, by comprehending these lived experiences, technology may be designed better, health workers can receive more outstanding training and global health emergencies can be handled more skillfully. In addition to health professionals, politicians and technologists looking to improve crisis management tools can also benefit from this research. References Burkle, F. M. (2020).
