It is important to analyze the relationships and expectations of a particular cultural group. This will help in addressing health issue which may be facing that particular cultural group. This paper seeks to specifically address how each of the PEN-3 model’s three factors within the dimension of Relationships and Expectations may apply to my selected cultural group.

Relationship and expectation domain of the PEN-3 model consists of three factors. The three elements include Perceptions, Enablers, and Nurturers. These factors may be applicable to a certain cultural group when attempting to address a particular health issue. Relationships and expectations relates to the perceptions or attitudes which the people of a particular cultural group have towards a particular health problem. This particular project will be examining the perceptions and attitudes which African Americans have towards diabetes as a health problem at hand. The available societal or structural resources will help in reducing the prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans. Various health care services help in promoting good health practices. Effective health-seeking practices will also be discouraged as a way of reducing diabetes prevalence. The influence which family and kin has in nurturing decisions surrounding effective management of health problems such as diabetes will be examined.

Perceptions

There are a number of perceptions which will affect diabetes disease management among the African Americans. Examples of these perceptions include feeling highly confident, fears about diabetes complications, and denial. It will be easy to manage diabetes disease among the African Americans who feel highly confident. On the other hand it will be difficult to manage diabetes diseases among the African Americans who fear complications of diabetes. Those who fear diabetes may not even bother to go and seek medication. This is the same case to individuals who deny having diabetes. These factors are therefore significant in trying to manage and control prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans.

Enablers

Enablers are also important factors in trying to manage the prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans. Enablers are of two types which include positive enablers and negative enablers. Examples of positive enablers include religion and social support. On the other hand examples of negative enablers include disliking needles, time consumption, and cost of healthy foods. Religion will play a significant role in managing diabetes among the African Americans. It will be easy to manage this particular health problem among African Americans who are very religious as compared to those who are not religious. Social support will contribute positively in managing the prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans. This is because the people who have social support from family members and work mates are likely to be encouraged to seek medication. The African Americans who dislike needles may not go and seek diabetes treatment. Those who do not consume healthy foods may not end up living for long. These negative enablers may make it difficult to manage diabetes disease among the African Americans.

Nurturers

Examples of nurturers include family, friends, and health care providers. Nurturers play a great role in managing and controlling diabetes. Family and friends meet the cost of health care for diabetic patients. They also play an important role of giving moral support to diabetic patients. They may also offer advice on how to live healthier by practicing good health behaviors. Health care providers will provide adequate nursing care to diabetic patients and offering guidance on the appropriate foods to consume. Nurturers therefore positively contribute to controlling the prevalence of diabetes disease among the African Americans.

Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix And Narrative Statement

The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)

Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix

Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:

  • Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.
  • Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
  • Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.
  • Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.
  • Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change

Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.

In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

  • Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
  • Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
  • Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change. Be specific and provide examples.

Primary Care II

In previous weeks we have been reviewing the prevalence, mortality and morbidity associated with breast cancer. This is a topic of extreme public and personal interest. Primary care providers deal with the diagnosis, and the screening of breast cancer on a daily basis. Therefore, in this discussion we will discuss about the importance of understanding the advantages and limitations of its screening.

Assignment: The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker

The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?

Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

To Prepare:

  • Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.
  • Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
  • Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

  • Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
  • Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
  • Develop a simple infographic to help explain these concepts.

    NOTE: For guidance on infographics, including how to create one in PowerPoint, see “How to Make an Infographic in PowerPoint” presented in the Resources.

  • Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ responses.
