Research paper #1 – Choose a disease process with extensive public health implications (e.g. heart failure, dementia, kidney disease). Research its impact upon both the national and international community, using such resources as the World Health Organization.
Review the goals of Healthy People 2020 regarding this disease process. What inequities exist? Give examples of policies that shape the public nursing response to the disease process. Apply one of the theories of health maintenance and promotion to the aggregate. How does systems theory influence policy design?
Make sure to research on Human Diversity and Health Promotion
Studies have showed that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in developed countries. Heart failure is one of the chronic diseases that disrupt everyday life of the patient, their families and the wider community. The patients and their families spend enormous resources to attempt to seek out the most effective strategies, support and information to manage the disease and minimize interruptions(Mainar, et al., 2015). The prevalence of heart failure in developed countries especially the United States, Australian and United Kingdom is high. Some of the common symptoms associated with heart failure include fatigue, peripheral oedema and breathlessness, which causes multiple interaction with daily life. Depending with the severity of the attack, the patient may develop multiple chronic co-morbidities which may require complex treatment regime.
World Health Organization has made the education of a patient to monitor their own health and being able to recognize illness severity as well as self-management of multiple chronic diseases as the current health care policy. Research have showed that symptom unpredictabilityleaves the patients to feel helpless and completely dependent on those around them, hence leading to lack of control on the illness and increasing the burden on the health care system and on the family(Fry, et al., 2016). In most circumstance, the responsibility for care shifts from the patient to the caregivers, spouses or immediate family. Under these conditions, the patient typically adopt to the ‘sick role’ thus depending on their families to provide support with their illness as well as in the previous responsibilities.
During this time, a patient with greater levels of family support tend to build strong confidence between the patient and the family. The ties and bond between the family also tend to strengthen. This buttress the importance of strong support to the patients in times of illness to enhance patient well-being and achieve successful family functioning. This paper researched the impacts of heart failure to the national and international community, and review the goals of Health People 2020 in regards to the heart failure.
The impacts of heart failure to the national and international community Research showed that the patients who have experienced heart failure in the course of their life acknowledged that symptoms of heart failure as disruptive to the daily life activities since it limits the ability of the patient as well as their families to carry out their everyday activities. The restriction of daily activities makes the patients to loss confidence and start questioning their self-esteem as well as their own identity. The situation is worsened when the initial diagnosis was wrong because it delays the appropriate treatment………………………………………………………………………………………………
After viewing the two videos for this module, revisit the section of your reading, Principles of Diversity: What Have We Learned In This Book. Based on the principles outlined, give your informed opinion on how to resolve the conflicts depicted in the videos. What limitations of diversity are exposed in this process? Your response should be three paragraphs in length.
In our course book, we learned several principles on diversity such as bias against diversity not being inevitable, diversity as a source of opportunity to learn, and respect as a way of promoting diversity, among many other principles (Jones, Dovidio & Vietze, 2013). The videos watched offered different conflicts that involved religion and the national interests or rather the laws of the country.
In the video regarding the move by the French government to ban female Muslim school children from wearing headscarf is not only against the freedom of expression but is also against the principle of inclusivity and integration. Though the government pointed that the move was meant to separate the state from the church, such a law will curtail the freedom of the minority Muslims in the country (Journeyman Pictures, 2015). In order to solve the conflict, it is of the opinion that the government retracts in its new laws and allows the Muslim girls to wear their religious attire in school. This would promote the integration among the Muslim girls and children from other religious backgrounds. In the second video Kim Davies the Kentucky county clerk was jailed for refusing to grant same-sex couples their marriage licenses (BBC News, 2015). Davies attributed this to the fact that it was against her religious beliefs that allowed……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Topic: Psychology of Diversity/Health Disparities and Implicit Bias in Healthcare
Health Disparities and Implicit Bias in Healthcare (Course Instructor) (University Affiliation) (Student’s Name) (Date)
Health Disparities and Implicit Bias in Healthcare Although there is a significant improvement in healthcare in the United States, there remains a disparity in healthcare across cultures. According to (Major, Mendes & Dovidio, 2013) health among disadvantaged groups defined by race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, citizen-immigration status and ethnicity, have poor health compared to those from higher social groups. However, research has found that healthcare disparities extend beyond the structural and economic factors observed among individuals to include synergistic contributions of culture, individual-level factors, context and intergroup dynamics. In their study, (Major, Mendes & Dovidio, 2013) found that other than structural and socio-economic factors, stereotypes and In addition to other causes Penner et al., (2010) points that the observed healthcare disparity in the U.S can be attributed to racial prejudice and stereotypes by the healthcare providers. In particular Penner et al., found that black patients tend to show less trust in their physician after visits than before visits. According to the authors, the major causes of this mistrust are the racial prejudice and stereotypes among the majority white physicians. In the United States, over 75% of all medical interactions…………………………………………………………………………………………………… ORDER YOUR COPY OF THE COMPLETED SOLUTION AND FOR OTHER RELATED TOPICS ASSIGNMENT COMPLETED AT https://capitalessaywriting.com
Diversity and inclusion are two common debates both in the workplace and throughout our political spectrum. The simple fact is that citizens travel much more freely now than 50 or 75 years ago: Germany is less “German”, and France is less “France” than at any time in history. Employees in one country are much more likely to meet, interact, and work with employees in other countries, and that can be a challenge. With that understanding, write a paper that addresses the following:
Provide a brief overview of how the demographics of the world, and US, workforce has changed (percent of women in the workplace and average age, for example)
Discuss how managing a homogeneous workforce differs from managing a heterogeneous workforce, both nationally and globally.
Finally, present at least three strategies that a human resource professional should adopt in order to effectively manage employees who have different backgrounds, perceptions, beliefs, religions, and philosophies (both work and personal).
Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to include title page, level headings, and a reference page.
Case study #1
Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step-down unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure, but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine as they told me to in the clinic, but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure, and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook differently than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”
Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge?
Make sure you address each piece of the case study. What types of food consists of the Jamaican diet? How do Bush Tea effect diets and high blood pressure? Does she understand how working so hard can impact her health? These are just a few examples you must address.
Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients?
This section should be 1-2 paragraphs and should have citations from the text.
Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones.
This should be 2 paragraphs and should hit at least
Discuss the strengths and limits of Leininger’s Theory.
Case Study #2
Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages, including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care items and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff.
Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role?
I would like to see one paragraph that introduces the theory and gives a quick explanation. You should have a level one header, Case Study 2, or Watson. You should have a level two heading Transpersonal caring, and the nurse’s role and should be at least 1-2 paragraphs.
How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?
This section should have a level two header Caring moment or Love as defined by Watson. Please provide specific examples of how the nurse showed caring moments from the case study. What do you think it means to the patient?
How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment?
This section should be one paragraph with a level two heading.
Discuss the strengths and limits of Watson’s Theory.
Again, this section should be one to two paragraphs. Make sure you have a conclusion paragraph with a level one header Conclusion. This paragraph should sum up all the content.
This paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be up to 1500 words.
