Introduction
Group psychotherapy is one of the most effective therapies for patients suffering from depression, anxiety, and even post traumatic disorders. Group psychotherapy involves helping people with the same problems and background. During the sessions, the selected members are treated as a group in order to enhance skills such as socializing and group cohesiveness. This presentation focuses on answering the question derived from the study, which is whether group psychotherapy among women with a history of sexual harassment proves effective and gives durable results.

Specific intervention
Exercise
The intervention was already in use
Exercise is a cognitive behavior therapy for nursing home residents (Schoenfelder, 2000).
It has been in use in many areas of healthcare as a form of psychotherapeutic approach
Author’s claims
No conclusive evidence exists on exercise effectiveness on preventing of falls in home nursing
Nursing home residents have a high risk of falling (Cao et al., 2018; KAYA et al. 2012)
The authors claims that there is limited information regarding the effectiveness of exercise in nursing homes for prevention of falls Applying Current Literature to Clinical Practice
Findings/outcomes
Exercise did not play a role in preventing falls
This might not translate into practice with my own clients
Translation to practice is limited by little evidence-based research regarding physical exercise in nursing homes fall prevention
Home nursing facilities employ physical exercise as a therapy to good health and improving quality of life and body strength with the aim of preventing falls and thus is expected to reduce falls among my clients (Carter, Kannus & Khan, 2001).
Physical exercise is one of the most effective interventions for fall prevention
The research employed small samples which presented low quality evidence
Limitation’s impacts
The render the findings not generalizable
They increases the need for further research in my practice area.
They increase cost and time of further research before drawing conclusions
Limitation: lack of sufficient data on exercise effectiveness on fall prevention in nursing homes
There was low heterogeneity
Use of small and low quality samples
Limited research cannot be generalized since it does not cover the entire target population
It demands further research which is costly and time consuming Applying Current Literature to Clinical Practice
