Study Notes
Module 8: The Canadian Health Care System and Integrative Care
- Medicare is a fundamental part of Canada's social safety net, funded by general taxation.
- The Canada Health Act (1984) established key principles: public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability, and accessibility.
- Governance Structure:
- Federal government sets national principles, finances through transfers, delivers services to specific groups (Indigenous, veterans, RCMP), and develops national health promotion policies.
- Provincial/territorial governments administer healthcare insurance plans, manage and fund services, determine hospital organization and location, and reimburse physician and hospital costs.
- Professional Jurisdiction: Health professions are largely self-regulated, managing their own standards and disciplinary actions.
- Primary Health Care: Forms the foundation with four pillars: Teams, Access, Information, and Healthy living. This healthcare model has four important institutional factors: hospitals, long-term care facilities, psychiatric facilities and rehabilitation centres. These are supported by community sector elements like public health, physician's offices, community health centres, home care, hospice, palliative and parish nursing.
- Five Levels of Care: Health Promotion, Disease and Injury Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment, Rehabilitation, and Supportive Care.
- Canada's healthcare system faces current challenges, such as sustainability, political economy of health, climate change, primary care spending, healthcare planning, delivery, and the need for human resources, alongside aging population issues and the Truth & Reconciliation commission calls to action.
- Integrative Care: Combines conventional medicine with complementary and alternative approaches, focusing on underlying causes instead of just symptoms. Key approaches include natural products, mind-body-spirit interventions, manipulative and body-based methods, energy therapies, and whole systems approaches.
Module 9: Patient Education
- Health Literacy: The ability to access, understand, evaluate, and communicate health information to promote and maintain health. This includes understanding medical information, describing symptoms, finding appropriate healthcare help, and managing medications safely.
- Current State in Canada: Significant challenges in Canada highlight the need to improve health communication: Difficulty in understanding health information independently, difficulty finding professional help when ill, and difficulty determining the need for additional medical opinions.
- Digital Health Literacy: Skills needed to search, select, judge, transform, communicate, and access health information/resources online (digitally).
- Key Factors Affecting Digital Health Literacy: Geographical location, education level, age, and income all affect digital literacy.
Module 10: Growth and Development Part One
- Core Principles: Human growth and development are continuous processes based on timing and sequence at individualized rates. Understanding typical patterns helps predict, prevent, and detect changes.
- Key Components: Physical growth involves quantifiable increases in measurements. Development is a process increasing a being's functional capacity. Influencing factors are genetic and contextual, including socioeconomic status.
- Developmental Theories:
- Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development: Four stages – sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational – describe how knowledge develops and how people understand the world.
- Developmental Age Periods: Various stages (infancy, toddlerhood, preschoolers, school-age) and associated health risks (sudden infant death syndrome, accidents, falls) are emphasized, along with nutritional needs, immunizations, and other healthcare requirements.
- Erikson's Eight Stages of Life: Characterized by psychosocial conflicts that individuals address throughout different life stages.
Module 11: Growth and Development Part Two
- Young Adulthood: Physical and cognitive development, psychosocial development, challenges in emotional health, the role of play, and healthcare considerations.
- Middle Adulthood: Changes in physical and cognitive functioning, psychosocial aspects, and health focus.
- Older Adulthood: Population overview (youngest, old, oldest); common misconceptions; developmental tasks (adjusting to health changes and retirement); healthcare considerations (various care settings and assessment focuses).
- Important Considerations: Health risks including lifestyle choices, computer use, accidents, substance abuse, and mental health, substance abuse, STIs.
Module 12: Population Health, Global Health, and Cultural Safety
- Population Health Strategies: Focus on improving health for entire populations while reducing health inequities, collaboration between various stakeholders, and active participation within policies and programs.
- Community Health Nursing: Involves public health nursing, home health, mental health nursing, street health, and parish nursing; emphasizes empowerment and actions on community levels to improve population health.
- High-Priority Populations: Emphasizes populations needing support, such as people living in poverty, homeless, those with chronic conditions, indigenous peoples, immigrants and new refugees, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
- Cultural Safety and Competence: Considers cultural concepts, diversity, bias, inclusivity, and indigenous health issues. Addressing cultural concepts and biases within cultural safety and competency is important in healthcare.
- Global Health Concerns: Key global health issues such as communicable diseases like COVID-19 and pandemics, non-communicable diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease, the relationship of human health to natural systems, and planetary health. Addresses cultural concepts, diversity, indigenous issues, and cultural safety.
