This assignment aims to bring greater awareness to health inequities/health disparities in our community and our country so that we can provide the best care and advocate for our patients.
The term health inequality generically refers to differences in the health of individuals or groups. Any measurable aspect of health that varies across individuals or according to socially relevant groupings can be called a health inequality. Absent from the definition of health inequality is any moral judgment on whether observed differences are fair or just. In contrast, a health inequity, or health disparity, is a specific type of health inequality that denotes an unjust difference in health. By one common definition, when health differences are preventable and unnecessary, allowing them to persist is unjust. In this sense, health inequities are systematic differences in health that could be avoided by reasonable means. In general, social group differences in health, such as those based on race or religion, are considered health inequities because they reflect an unfair distribution of health risks and resources. The key distinction between the terms inequality and inequity is that the former is simply a dimensional descriiption employed whenever quantities are unequal, while the latter requires passing a moral judgment that the inequality is wrong. The term health inequality can describe racial/ethnic disparities in US infant mortality rates, which are nearly three times higher for non-Hispanic blacks versus whites, as well as the fact that people in their 20s enjoy better health than those in their 60s. Of these two examples, only the difference in infant mortality would also be considered a health inequity. Health differences between those in their 20s versus 60s can be considered health inequalities but not health inequities. Health differences based on age are largely unavoidable, and it is difficult to argue that the health differences between younger and older people are unjust, since older people were once younger people and younger people, with some luck, will someday become old.

We, as nurses, are charged with providing excellent nursing care, including delivering culturally competent care to diverse populations and advocating for those under our care. To provide culturally competent care, we must be aware of health equity and its meaning.
In this assignment, first reflect on your previous experiences, your clinical experience, your own personal experiences, process recordings, reflections, simulations, and group presentations. You may have seen areas that made you aware of health disparity or cultural norms that differed from yours. This can help guide you to determine what diverse group to write about.
Using appropriate references, you will illustrate and support why the diverse group has health inequity. Consider what the group is facing and how that could create a lack of fairness or justice.
Using personal experiences, real-life examples, facts, and theories to show how the inequity is related to healthcare. What examples have you seen in clinical to support this? What does the literature say? What has occurred in your own life and what have you observed that gives you a passion to advocate for individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations?
Next, determine what practices/resources or interventions are currently available to help decrease the health inequity. Be specific in your findings.
Reflect upon what interventions are not available and are needed for this diverse group. What could be done that isn’t being done to help lessen the inequity? How do you plan to implement this into your practice to help decrease the inequity?
This is a professional paper and you must also submit to digication.
It may be reviewed as part of the college evaluation of learning.
Your paper should be 1200 to 1500 words with a minimum of three references to support your topic using APA formatting.
The paper should be well organized and your points well supported through an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Utilize the grading rubric to guide your paper and ensure all sections are answered.
TOPIC-Healthcare disparities related to racism. Research the health disparities experienced by this group. What is the impact on their health and level of wellness? What are the Barriers and challenges of access and to the provision of healthcare? Strategies to improve. What can you as a nurse implement to help improve care and ultimately wellness in this group?

Despite the fact that we live in the 21st century, an appalling number of women and children die worldwide every day. In some countries, a woman dies from childbirth or a childbirth complication every minute. The World Health Organization has developed Millennial Goals, one of which was to improve maternal child outcomes.
What do you see as the major issues in international midwifery?
What should be broad and specific priorities for maternal-child health in developing countries?
What can we do here in the U.S. as nurse-midwives to support those priorities?
One of the largest issues in international midwifery is the lack of skilled and educated midwives. When examining the educational requirements of midwives worldwide, It’s shocking how little education is needed in most countries. In fact, worldwide the minimum educational requirement in 82% of countries to begin training as a midwife is simply a high school diploma, which is terrifying knowing what I know as a labor nurse and what can potentially go wrong if proper training isn’t available. Furthermore, less than half of the countries worldwide even have legislation that recognizes a midwife as profession, meaning they don’t have the governing body to ensure that minimum training and education requirements are met for those entering the profession. Finally, the average number of births a midwife must complete supervised by a preceptor throughout the world is only 33 (Castro Lopes et al., 2016). Again, as a labor and delivery nurse, that’s terrifying, especially knowing that one may not even experience something such as a shoulder dystocia in that few of births.

One of the most important broad priorities for improving maternal-child health in developing countries is education. In referring back to my example regarding a shoulder dystocia, through proper education and exposure to obstetric emergencies such as a shoulder dystocia, a midwife in training can learn and practice maneuvers such as McRobert’s, suprapubic pressure and more in order to help alleviate the impacted shoulder. As US nurse-midwives we have the opportunity to obtain an excellent education and be certified through a governing body such as the ACNM. With this education we are able to impact those in developing countries through educational outreach. For example, The Peace Corps has sent nurse-midwives to sub-Saharan African in order to educate local direct entry midwives there (n.d. Midwife.org).

When considering specific priorities when discussing international maternal-child health, immunizations for both mothers and children is hugely important. For example, the child to a mother infected with Rubella during pregnancy can develop congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) which can cause cataracts, deafness, heart disease and many other permanent afflictions (Cutts et al., 1997). The CDC reports that just one dose of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine (MMR) is 97% effective against rubella (Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination 2021). If we are able to educate developing worlds on the importance of vaccine compliance and ensure that they have vaccinations available to protect their population from preventable diseases.

In the first milestone, I interviewed an APRN. This paper aims to spotlight and honor an APRN leader and the leadership style and strategies they employ to improve quality metrics within healthcare systems, organizations, and diverse practice settings. “This evidence-based paper will involve primary research, conducted through one live interview, as well as secondary research, conducted through consultation, review, and synthesis of existing literature. The final paper should be written at a level suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The second milestone for your Service Leadership Final Paper focuses on secondary research to yield a synthesis of existing literature, which aims to lay the research- and evidence-based foundation of the leadership style that you identified for your selected APRN as a result of your primary research (interview).”
-Upon completing your interview, you must decide which of the theories you studied in this course best explains the leadership style of the APRN you interviewed (e.g., transformational).
– After choosing the leadership style, you must then locate at least 10 academic articles and/or scholarly publications on the selected leadership style. The articles or publications must have been published within the last five years.
– Then, you need to review and study the existing literature.
– Lastly, you are required to write a brief synthesis of the literature.
Article content: Information is gathered from a minimum of 10 multiple, research, evidence-based sources. Articles selected for use should be from a peer-reviewed resource.
