Numerous nursing theories can provide the structure for community/public health nursing; however, nursing theories that incorporate components of the general systems theory frequently provide the framework for the practice of community/public health nursing. Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to the field of public health. From providing maternal-child care to poor women in the late 1800s, to promoting hygiene among school aged children in the early 1900s, to providing environmental and safety care to industrial workers during World War I, nurses have been instrumental in shaping health policies (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Today, community/public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues. Many factors influence the health of communities and populations, including national policies that focus on health promotion. Healthy People, a major national health promotion program issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, identifies major health problems of the nation and sets national goals and objectives targeting health promotion (Maurer & Smith, 2013). If adopted, activities that target health promotion can result in disease prevention. Reference Maurer, F. A., & Smith, C. M. (2013).

In fact, some would argue that many, if not most, health risks can be mitigated through lifestyle and behavioral changes. With this in mind, the health care provider must be aware of the socioeconomic factors and the lifestyle factors present in a population. · SHOW LESS · Both social and cultural factors influence many lifestyle factors. Living environment, housing conditions, employment factors, diet, and cultural beliefs all play a role in a person's levels of risk and resulting health. The nursing assessment must include these social influences as part of the domain necessary for evaluation and inclusion in the assessment approach, and integrate a framework for analysis, which includes all the social milieus associated with each dimension. · Evidence-based health assessments are done using health data from private and public organizations. There are many opportunities for gathering health data in a community, through public health systems and through private records, where approval has been obtained from participants. · Collecting primary data must involve informed consent. Secondary sources can also be used by obtaining aggregate data from health plans and health care providers that do not include personalized demographic data. Each of these data sources .

sdfghj21

The document discusses competing agendas for healthcare reform in the United States. It identifies individual and community barriers that contribute to inequitable access to Medicaid programs and services, such as race, income, education level, insurance status, and neighborhood factors. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act aims to address these issues by expanding Medicaid eligibility, funding new programs, and reducing barriers to healthcare access. However, state decisions to opt out of Medicaid expansion and federal budget cuts threaten to undermine some of the Affordable Care Act's efforts. The document also analyzes debates around the roles of the federal government, states, and private insurers in reforming the U.S. healthcare system.

Application Access to Quality Health Care for Vulnerable Population.docx

hirstcruz

Application: Access to Quality Health Care for Vulnerable Populations Access to quality health care for disparate populations is a critical challenge for today's health care organizations and for the health care system as a whole. In this Application Assignment, you will describe the advantages and challenges facing the health care system in providing equal access to quality health care. To prepare for this Application Assignment, consider how health care is delivered to populations who are sometimes affected by the Healthy People assigned focus area you were previously assigned. To complete this Application Assignment, write a 2- to 3-page paper (essay style) that addresses the following: What two obstacles confront vulnerable/underserved populations when they attempt to obtain quality health care Healthy People assigned focus area (e.g., a prevention program, screening program, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation)? Be specific. Name and describe two intervention programs that have addressed these obstacles (e.g., prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation). You can find examples of these on the internet or by searching the library databases (CINAHL). Try searching with your Healthy People area (i.e. obestiy; heart disease) as a key term as well as the word "intervention" or "program"). You may also try looking at professional organizations that address that health issue. For example, the American Diabetes Association sponsors a program called "Project Power" which addresses diabetes type 2 among African Americans—specifically for church settings. In your paper, summarize the programs by including the following: The name of the program The type of program (hospital based; for churches; online program, etc.) Who has implemented the program (researchers, professional group, university, state, etc.) and where was it implemented: For example, training programs are sometimes offered by commercial businesses and programs or activities are sometimes sponsored by federal government or professional organizations. The types of services the program provides How the program has addressed disparities The achievements of the program Does it address the issue of culture? How so? Is there any evidence that it has been successful? Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines (6th edition). Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Obesity Community Health.docx

sdfghj21

Obesity is a critical health issue affecting many communities. Factors contributing to obesity include limited access to healthy foods and lack of physical activity opportunities. Some interventions implemented to address obesity are public awareness campaigns and programs focused on nutrition education. Nurses play an important role in obesity interventions by providing counseling and coordinating with other healthcare providers. Expanding the scope of interventions could help by increasing access to affordable healthy foods and creating more physical activity programs in schools and neighborhoods.

All question 250 to 300 words APA format with two references DQ-.docx

galerussel59292

All question 250 to 300 words APA format with two references DQ-1 This week’s first discussion forum will focus on the population of abused individuals. Abuse is a pervasive problem in our society. Although the forms of abuse, as well as the intensity and duration can vary from case to case, each abused person is tasked with dealing with the scars left from the abuse. As you can imagine, this task can be very challenging to say the least. Using research to help you form an opinion, which form of capital (social or human capital) do you feel will have a greater influence over resources accessible to the abused? Discuss which form of capital you would rely on for emotional support and help through difficult times if abused. Explain your rationale. DQ-2 chronically ill and the disabled. You may be familiar with the common quote “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” In reality, however, you may know of a person, family, or group who is not receiving adequate preventive or medical care due to a lack of resources and funds. · Choose one specific chronic illness or disability of your choice. · Select two resources in your community that address issues related to the chronic illness/disability and describe the services offered. · Select two national resources that address issues related to the chronic illness/disability and describe the services offered. · Analyze whether or not the continuum of care services are adequate for the population with the chosen chronic illness/disability. Explain why or why not. Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Your research and claims must be supported by a minimum of two scholarly sources beyond your course text. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references. DQ-3 Our health, or the absence of such, can be very expensive. Many vulnerable populations simply do not have private funds available to pay for their care. Relating your research to individuals with mental conditions, select a mental illness of your choice and discuss your response to the following questions: · What public financing resources are available to individuals with this particular mental condition? · What are the eligibility requirements and restrictions to receive these funds? · What happens if eligibility standards/requirements are not met by those with this illness? · Research and discuss two methods of alternative funding for care for this group. What are the benefits and limitations of the methods you discussed? Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Your research and claims must be supported by a minimum of two scholarly sources beyond your course text. DQ-4 Suicide and homicide are violent actions reported in the news daily. Individuals suffering from abuse, depression, mental disorders, or substance-abuse disorders are at an increased risk for committing suicide or homicide. Factors that contribute to the risk are age, gender, socio-economic stat.
