Candava and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Nursing is considered as a risk profession due to the physical and psychological demands of the work environment. A number of studies also show nurses are prone to poor health status and unhealthy lifestyles. Objectives: This study aims to identify the relationships between socio-demographic profile, self-rated health, mental well-being, and health-promoting lifestyles among staff nurses working in public and private tertiary hopsitals in the city of Manila. Method: The study utilized correlational design using questionnaires which include Socio-demographic Profile with single self-rating of health, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Data from the two hundred nine staff nurses (n=209) were analyzed though descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling. Results: This study indicated that most of the nurses rated their health as good (M = 3.91, SD = 1.02) and had a higher level of mental well-being (M = 3.97, SD = .51). When the mean outcomes of the HPLP II were examined, spiritual growth (3.06) scored highest followed by interpersonal relations (2.97), stress management 92.65), health responsibility (2.63), nutrition (2.55), and physical activity (2.34) with the lowest score. Results of the study also revealed high significant relationships between nurses' socio-demographic profile, self-rated health, mental well-being, and health-promoting lifestyles. Conclusions: Though these findings should only be generalized to the staff nurses in this study, the results suggest that nurses with good self-rated health and higher mental well-being opted to perfrom health-promoting lifestyles. A need to strengthen the promotioon of healthier nurses as primary promoters of health is essnential for them to become productive and effective members of the health care team.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Socio demographic Characteristics Social Exclusion and Self rated Health in Single Mothers written by Randy Lane Johner and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single mothers have been linked to social exclusion and poor health outcomes. Comprehensive explorations of multiple links, including health outcomes, which are intrinsically connected to the understanding of social exclusion, are necessary in determining policy and program responses that can influence positive health outcomes in single mothers. This study's goal was to enhance the theoretical understanding of the construct of social exclusion by examining associations between socio-demographic characteristics, social exclusion (educational attainment, social supports and networks, sense of control) and perceived health in Saskatchewan single mothers. In order to enhance the theoretical understanding of social exclusion, this study sought to answer the question: Is social exclusion linked to poor perceived health status in Saskatchewan single mothers? A stratified random sample of 373 single mothers responded to a mail questionnaire. Cross-sectional findings are presented in three separate but interrelated papers. The first paper compares links between socio-demographic characteristics, social exclusion and perceived health in social assistance recipient/non social assistance recipient single mothers. Findings indicate social assistance recipient single mothers had poorer perceived health than non-social assistance recipient single mothers. The second paper compares links between socio-demographic characteristics, social exclusion, and perceived health in Aboriginal/Non-Aboriginal single mothers. Findings indicated that social assistance was negatively linked to social exclusion and perceived health in Non-Aboriginal single mothers but was neither significant nor in the expected direction for Aboriginal single mothers. The third paper examined an exploratory model of social exclusion, which linked socio-economic characteristics, social exclusion, and perceived health status. Findings from path analysis indicated that the social support appeared to have the strongest association (direct and indirect effects) with perceived health, followed by having a disability and, lastly, a sense of control. Overall, study findings suggest that health disparities in this sample of Saskatchewan single mothers may be linked to social exclusion. These findings serve to underscore the importance for further quantitative research based on population health frameworks in understanding the construct of social exclusion and its association with perceived health status in single mothers.

This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation's Health was released in September 2019, before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020. Improving social conditions remains critical to improving health outcomes, and integrating social care into health care delivery is more relevant than ever in the context of the pandemic and increased strains placed on the U.S. health care system. The report and its related products ultimately aim to help improve health and health equity, during COVID-19 and beyond. The consistent and compelling evidence on how social determinants shape health has led to a growing recognition throughout the health care sector that improving health and health equity is likely to depend â€" at least in part â€" on mitigating adverse social determinants. This recognition has been bolstered by a shift in the health care sector towards value-based payment, which incentivizes improved health outcomes for persons and populations rather than service delivery alone. The combined result of these changes has been a growing emphasis on health care systems addressing patients' social risk factors and social needs with the aim of improving health outcomes. This may involve health care systems linking individual patients with government and community social services, but important questions need to be answered about when and how health care systems should integrate social care into their practices and what kinds of infrastructure are required to facilitate such activities. Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation's Health examines the potential for integrating services addressing social needs and the social determinants of health into the delivery of health care to achieve better health outcomes. This report assesses approaches to social care integration currently being taken by health care providers and systems, and new or emerging approaches and opportunities; current roles in such integration by different disciplines and organizations, and new or emerging roles and types of providers; and current and emerging efforts to design health care systems to improve the nation's health and reduce health inequities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was done to examine the relationship between self-rated health and social/community relations. Due to advances in modern medicine, multifactorial diseases are more prevalent than acute infectious diseases and a greater understanding of the impact sociological variables has on health is of great importance. In prior research, self rated health has been demonstrated to be a robust predictor of mortality, even when controlling for other variables known to impact health. Presence of a strong social network and attachments to community have been shown to be protective of self perceptions of health. The Health and Living study was conducted in the Bear River Health District located in northern Utah in 2004 utilizing a mail survey. The relationship between self rated health and social network indicators in addition to community attachment variables was evaluated statistically. Demographic variables were also analyzed. Church attendance, number of friends, income, age, and education were found to be statistically significant.
