Overview: Develop a 6–8 page, APA-formatted article on a global health topic for publication.
Describe the factors that impact health and health care delivery, and the interventions that have been implemented. Explain the influence of altruism on global health, and identify evidence-based interventions to address the global health topic. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Show Less •Competency 1: Explain the factors that affect the health of communities. ◦Describe the factors that impact health and health care delivery associated with a global health care issue. ◦Explain the influence of altruistic organizations on health and health care practices associated with a global health care issue. ◦Explain how health care decisions and practices at a local level relate to health and health care delivery on a global scale. •Competency 2: Apply evidence-based interventions to promote health and disease prevention and respond to community health issues. ◦Describe interventions implemented to address a global health care issue. ◦Identify evidence-based interventions to promote wellness and disease prevention associated with a global health care issue. •Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations of a nursing professional. ◦Provide background information and statistics on a global health care issue. ◦Write content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. ◦Correctly format paper, citations, and references, using current APA style. Context: The overall wealth of a country often influences the country’s level of accessible health care and, ultimately, the health of the country’s citizens. However, developed countries often face similar public health issues as developing and middle-income countries. For example, HIV and AIDS are major public health concerns in both the United States and in many less developed sub-Saharan African countries. Through collaboration, research, and direct care, community/public health nurses can provide expertise and leadership in international health issues (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Understanding the processes involved in caring for populations provides the foundation for collaborative practices in international nursing care. Reference Maurer, F. A., & Smith, C. M. (2013). Community/Public health nursing practice: Health for families and populations (5th ed.). St. Louis, MO: W. B. Saunders. Requirements/ Assessment Instructions: Requirements For this assessment, develop an APA-formatted research review article that covers one global health topic of your choice. In this assessment: •Identify your topic. Provide background information and statistics on the topic, including the global areas most affected by the topic and the types of health care issues most often associated with the topic.
•Describe the factors that impact health and health care delivery in the global areas most affected by the topic you selected. These factors may include not only culture and tradition, but also politics, economics, and social attitude. •Explain the influence of altruistic organizations (Peace Corps, Project Hope, religious and non-religious missions, and so on) on health and health care practices in the global area specifically associated with the topic. •Describe the interventions implemented to address the health care issues associated with the topic. Include both conventional and unconventional interventions. •Explain how the health care decisions and practices at the local level (the area most impacted by the topic) relate to health and health care delivery in other global areas. This is not limited only to best practices, but could include poor health care decisions and practices. •Identify evidence-based interventions that are effective, efficient, cost-effective, and equitable for promoting wellness and disease prevention in the specific area and population.
