(HEPE) Introduction To Health Disparities 1antz505
Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.

Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especial.docxdebishakespeare
Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especially when providing care to patients from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. The population of the United States comprises various ethnic/racial groups with different cultural and social beliefs, practice, norms, and values. There is an increasing disparities on the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes among different communities in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Hispanics and African Americans have the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the country (Concha, Mayer, Mezuk, & Avula, 2016). Caring for patients from different ethnic/racial groups require consideration of ethical principles and concepts to prevent ethical issues that may arise during nurse-patient interaction.
Recently, I cared for patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been hospitalized for more than two weeks due to acute hypertension, partial loss of vision. Also, the patient had a chronic diabetic foot ulcer. The analysis of his medical history revealed that the diabetic foot ulcer had developed in the last two years and had never healed. The patient was so worried about his health status and kept asking when he was going to be discharged from the hospital. The patient came from the Hispanic community, which is one of minority groups with the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the country. Being a culturally competent registered nurse, I had an obligation to take into account the specific ethnic background of the patient when providing care. Considering patient’s ethnic/racial background is important in providing quality, holistic, and patient-centered care based their health concerns, preferences, and values (Concha et al., 2016).
When collecting subjective data for analysis and planning for the care. I asked the patient about his perceptions about the possible causes of type 2 diabetes that he was suffering from. Hispanics have different beliefs in the causation of diabetes mellitus (Frieden, 2016). First, the patient believed that diabetes is a temporary condition that is not fatal. Second, the patient narrated a story that attempts to identify the cause of diabetes and concluded that they believe that people with “good diabetes” do not experience a lot of complications. The Hispanics use the term “good diabetes” when referring to the type of diabetes that do not require insulin for therapeutic purposes; non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Frieden, 2016). Also, the patient had a fatalistic attitude and believed that his health condition is likely to be a punishment from God.
The patient had a low health literacy level because caregivers had encouraged him to engage in some physical exercise and adopt a self-management approach as a way of controlling and preventing complications related to his condition, but he never implemented them. Also, the pat.
Bias in Healthcare: An Evidence-Based OverviewKR_Barker
Bias can be both conscious and unconscious, and affects all areas of life including healthcare, with unfortunate (and sometimes deadly) consequences for patients. Join Kimberley for an evidence-based exploration of this topic which will include learning about biases in several different areas (sexual identity, physical weight, race, socioeconomic status, education, age, and disability), defining the scale of the problem, and how some in healthcare are working to combat bias and improve outcomes for patients.

Men with Eating Disorders: Deepening Our Understanding to Improve CaringPaul Gallant
This invited presentation was part of the 2020 6th Annual Interior Region Eating Disorder (Virtual) Forum, September 2020. The presentation addresses recent research, community and clinical experiences of men with eating disorders to deepen our understanding to improve caring. Stories, stats, questions, video clips and polls were included to seek input from those participating.
For example: Do males comprise 33-40% of those we are caring for? If NO, WHY NOT?
You may find use for some of these in future presentations or team discussions.
Tips to Improve Caring include:
*Team based interest/working groups to plan better for
males; include cross site/jurisdiction knowledge
exchange/peer support for clinicians/mentorship
*Include male former patients/MWED in planning/advising
*Include males in research AND disseminate this research to honor their contribution
rather than “the number of males were insufficient to report on”
*Include retrospective reviews on past males for quality improvement
*Review non-published findings on males in your own research
*Demonstrate that you’re informed/comfortable working with MWED
*Know the literature/resources & limits of both for males with eating disorders
*Use your creativity & planning to consider all-male therapeutic groups including online therapeutic or support groups?
*Schedule male appointments back to back/same time. Males see they are not the only male in treatment/care
*Seize the moment to engage the person who is seeking support (hope, optimism and repeat check-in)
A take away team or self-reflection exercise asks:
What are we doing in our own practice or setting to__
-Demonstrate a “male friendly” welcoming environment for
boys/men with Eating Disorders?
-Better understand… boys/men with Eating Disorders?
-Better support/treat/demonstrate caring … boys/men with
Eating Disorders?

Gender Dysphoria
Transgender is the term used to mean that individual sex assigned during birth based on the external genital does not fit their gender identity. These kinds of people usually experience gender dysphoria, which is one of the psychological distresses associated with the incongruence between one's gender identity and the sex they were assigned during birth. Gender dysphoria usually starts at the beginning of childhood, but in some cases, individuals may not experience it until after puberty and even much later in their stages of life. People with transgender may pursue different domains of gender affirmation, which includes: surgical affirmation, medical affirmation, legal affirmation, and social affirmation (Lindley, 2020). Not all people with transgender issues will desire to have all these domains of gender affirmation as these are highly individual and personal decisions.
Medical treatment for gender dysphoria
Medical treatments for this condition may include hormone therapy, such as masculinizing hormone therapy or feminizing hormone therapy. Surgery includes masculinizing surgery or feminizing surgery, which intends to change chest or breasts, internal genitalia, external genital, body contouring, and facial features.
Some people used hormone therapy to seek maximum masculinization or feminization. Other people find relief from gender dysphoria by using hormones to maximize secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair and breasts. These kinds of treatments are based on individuals' goals and the evaluation of the benefits and risks of the medication use, presence of any other conditions, and consideration of individual's economic and social issues (Zucker, 2018). Most of these gender dysphoria individuals find surgery the most effective and necessary procedure that relieves their condition.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health gives the following procedure for the surgical or hormonal treatment for people with gender dysphoria.
1. Persistent and a well-documented gender dysphoria
2. The capacity to make consent and an informed decision for the treatment
3. The aged majority of a given country and when the patient is young need to follow the standard of care for the adolescents and children.
Behavioral health treatment
This treatment aims to improve the individual's psychological well-being, self-fulfillment, and quality of life. This kind of treatment does not aim to alter an individual's gender identity, but it aims to explore gender concerns and find ways to reduce gender dysphoria. The main goal.
