Study Notes
Global and National Health
- Global health considers health, illness, and disease from a worldwide perspective, encompassing more than 2 million daily international travelers and their potential for disease exposure.
- Disparities exist among countries, with developed nations generally richer and more stable, while developing countries face greater economic instability and poorer health outcomes, often with lower life expectancies and higher rates of disease and disability.
- International health organizations, such as the WHO and PAHO, collaborate to provide technical support and implement health care programs globally, establishing standards for vaccines and medications.
- Voluntary organizations like religious groups and the GHC contribute to health and development initiatives.
- The epidemiological transition demonstrates disparities in health status, with developing countries often suffering higher death rates from communicable diseases compared to developed nations.
- The Alma-Ata Conference emphasized the importance of primary healthcare, encompassing education, nutrition, safe water, sanitation, maternal and child health, immunization, disease prevention and treatment, and adequate drug supplies.
- The UN Millennium Declaration, adopted in 2000, set goals for poverty eradication, aiming to eliminate poverty by 2015, highlighting the relationship between health and poverty, including infectious disease as a global concern.
- Major global health problems include infectious diseases, chronic diseases (like heart disease, depression, and tobacco-related illnesses), maternal health, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and environmental sustainability.
- Developing countries often face challenges including unsafe water, malnutrition, and high rates of diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria.
- The need exists for public health measures to improve conditions like safe water, sanitation, and vaccination programs.
- This includes health disparity, intergovernmental involvement, and voluntary agency efforts in world health matters.
Community Health Nursing
- Community health is the science and art of preventing disease and promoting health through community efforts by improving the environment, controlling communicable infections, and educating individuals on hygiene.
- Community health nursing involves the synthesis of nursing and public health practices, focusing on population health promotion, health maintenance, health education, and health management to address community needs.
- It's a holistic approach that considers individuals, families, groups, and the overall community.
- Its scope includes health promotion, health prevention, and health restoration, encompassing nursing care, mental health, domiciliary nursing, industrial nursing, and public health nursing, along with areas such as maternal health, childcare, immunisation, and disease prevention.
- Community health nurses play essential roles in assessment, planning, education, coordination, and evaluation of health programs.
