It has been a little over a month since we released initial data on parents’ opinions and concerns during an unprecedented pandemic and the economic crisis that followed.
In the intervening month, Americans have been affected by entirely new developments. Schools have let their students out for summer and are back to the drawing board, writing their plans for the next school year. Coronavirus cases increased exponentially across the Southern and Western states, worrying families further and forcing them to rethink the summer and fall. Civil unrest around the treatment of black lives ignited protests around the country after the cruel and unjust killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
More Than Half of Parents Surveyed Are Anxious or Exhausted Due to COVID-19
Parents consistently reported that help with keeping their children engaged in good activities and more money to spend on necessities would be most helpful to have right now. In terms of how parents feel as caregivers, 43% say that they are anxious, a third say that they are exhausted, and a third are frustrated. Nearly a quarter are anxious about the overall situation in the country right now.
Nearly 40% of Parents Want Online Educational Activities for their Children Over the Summer
Two-thirds of parents will be keeping their children home and away from activities with large groups of people, like day camps, summer school, or community programs. They are split between being confident (41%) and being worried (51%) when thinking of the safety of these summer programs.
As for summer learning, parents want online educational activities (39%), learning packets (37%), and online tutoring (27%) to prepare their children for the fall. Parents overall believe that their children will need the most help with math in the coming school year, but this varies by race.
Parents Don’t Feel Safe Sending Their Children Back to School in August or September
Only one-fifth of parents feel safe sending their children back to school in August or September. Twenty-nine percent of parents say that they won’t be comfortable until the winter or spring of 2021, and 10% say that they’re not comfortable with sending their children back at all this coming school year. Almost 4 in 10 parents say that they would not send their children back to school until a vaccine is available.
According to my own worldview opinion, spirituality would be a higher functioning and intentional and intelligent energy in the metaphysical that has a connection to the origin of creativity and theoretical function of life in time space for a specified period. “Spirituality offers a worldview that suggests there is more to life than just what people experience on a sensory and physical level” (Scott PhD, 2022, paragraph 2). I feel there is social pressure to align with different worldviews to have a sense of belonging or to be accepted by certain groups. I think everyone could be wrong and right. Perhaps it is plausible that the collective ideas and theories may all have a little bit of truth in each one. What is truth, relatively speaking, when each of us experience reality in a way that is unlike any other person? I think I do not know enough or have not developed enough about personal spirituality to have a fixed idea about it. What I believe right now is subject to change with the influx of new information, however it may come. My conception of spirituality is more fluid, curious and one of open-mindedness. I think this will help me in rendering nonbiased care that is free of judgement. Staying curious is a self-teaching aid to help me digest things that may or may not make sense to me logically on a personal level. What I can understand about patients and their belief is there is a correlation between religious beliefs or spirituality and positive health outcomes. So, it is very important to respect a patient’s preferences and incorporate them into their care. Sometimes the difference between positive and negative health outcomes is a patients belief system when medical professionals have done and are doing everything to provide the highest quality of care available. “The question of whether truth, ethics and morality transcends individual, cultural and historical boundaries never gets satisfactorily answered (KUMAR, 2004, page 2).

Data forms a major component of the research process as through data collection and analysis; interpretation can be accomplished to help make vital decisions such as the need to translate the findings into practice. The implication is that well-established basic principles should be followed when interpreting data used in translating outcomes into practice. One of the principles to consider is if the data address the study aims and answer the research question (Grove & Grey, 2018). This will determine if the outcomes should be translated into practice within the problem of study. The reliability and validity of the data should also be checked or explored. Outcomes are translated to help address various clinical problems; hence the data should be valid and reliable.
One of the major focuses of research is to translate the findings or outcomes into practice. However, there are various barriers that should be overcome for such translations to be possible. One of the barriers is inadequate funds (Ailabouni et al.,2022). Sometimes, the facilities lack the financial capacity to acquire the funds and materials needed to translate the findings into practice leading to non-implementation or poor implementation. Some other potential barriers include a lack of trust in research or evidence, criticism and resistance from the staff, and complications with changing the current practice model. As part of the translation process, it is important to critically appraise the findings. Appraisal of the findings enables the researchers to categorize the quality of evidence into levels, hence translating the evidence with the highest quality as appropriate (Horntvedt et al.,2018).
Translating the DPI project findings into practice will be a key aspect of the research process. However, there are barriers anticipated that may make it difficult to achieve such a purpose. One of the barriers is potential resistance by the nursing team (Titler, 2018). Sometimes translating the evidence may require the introduction of new protocols and procedures, which the nursing staff may find challenging and consider as additional work hence resistance. The next potential barrier is a lack of sufficient funds or resources.
