Study Notes

Maternal Mortality

Significant progress in reducing global maternal mortality rate (MMR) from 339 to 277 deaths per 100,000 live births between 2000 and 2015.
Progress stalled between 2016 and 2020, with a slight decrease in MMR to 223 in 2020.
The African region has the highest MMR but is expected to decline.
The South-East Asia (SEA) region experienced the steepest decline.
The Americas, Europe, and Western Pacific regions experienced an increase in MMR post 2016.
To achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target of MMR below 70 by 2030, an annual reduction rate of 11.6% is required.

Child and Neonatal Mortality

Under-five mortality rate (U5MR) halved from 9.9 million to 4.9 million deaths between 2000 and 2022.
The African region has the highest U5MR, 10 times higher than Europe.
Nearly half of all U5 deaths are neonatal deaths.
59 countries may miss the U5MR target by 2030.
64 countries may miss the neonatal mortality rate target by 2030.
Achieving the targets could prevent 9 million U5 deaths by 2030.

Road Injury

Global road traffic fatalities decreased by 5.9% from 1.25 million to 1.18 million deaths between 2010 and 2021, but fell short of the targets set by the UN Decades of Action for Road Safety.
South-East Asia and the Western Pacific regions accounted for over half of global road traffic deaths in 2021.
The African region has the highest crude death rate (CDR) from road injuries at 19.4 per 100,000 population, compared to 6.7 per 100,000 in Europe.
Low-income countries have a CDR of 21.3 per 100,000, while high-income countries have a CDR of 7.6 per 100,000.

Suicide

Global suicide deaths decreased from 762,000 to 717,000 between 2000 and 2021, but slightly increased in 2021.
The SEA region has the highest suicide burden in 2021.
The Western Pacific and Europe regions experienced significant reductions in suicide rates.
The Americas region saw an increase in suicide CDR from 7.2 to 9.8 per 100,000.
Men have more than double the suicide rate of women globally.

Biopsychosocial Model of Disability

Combines medical and social models of disability.
Considers biological, psychological, and social factors influencing disability.

Influence of Disability on Nursing Care

Individualized care: Tailoring care plans to specific needs of patients with disabilities.
Communication: Ensuring clear and effective communication with patients with disabilities.
Accessibility: Making healthcare facilities accessible to patients with disabilities.
Advocacy: Supporting patient rights and needs, including advocating for accessible resources and services.

Increasing Incidence of Chronic Conditions

Aging population is a contributing factor.
Lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking play a role.
Environmental factors like pollution and exposure to toxins can contribute.
Improved diagnosis leads to increased identification of chronic conditions.

Characteristics of Chronic Conditions

Long duration: Chronic conditions last for months or years.
Slow progression: Symptoms typically develop gradually.
Requires ongoing care: Continuous medical attention is needed to manage chronic conditions.
Impact on daily life: Chronic conditions affect routine activities and overall quality of life.

Nursing Implications for Chronic Conditions

Continuous monitoring: Regular check-ups and assessments are crucial for managing chronic conditions.
Patient education: Teaching self-care and management techniques empowers patients to actively participate in their treatment.
Emotional support: Providing psychological care and resources to address the emotional challenges associated with chronic conditions.
Coordination of care: Working collaboratively with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive treatment and support.

Impact on Families

Emotional strain: Families may experience stress and anxiety when a member has a chronic condition.
Financial burden: Treatment and long-term care can create financial challenges.
Caregiver role: Family members may take on the primary caregiver role, requiring significant time and effort.
Need for support: Access to support groups, resources, and respite care is essential to assist families in managing chronic conditions.

Support Systems and Resources

Health services: Access to healthcare providers, specialists, and medical treatment is vital.
Community services: Resources like home health, transportation, and support groups can provide assistance and care.
Financial assistance: Programs and benefits may help offset the costs associated with chronic conditions.
Educational programs: Information and training on managing chronic conditions empower individuals and families to navigate challenges.

Conclusion

Understanding disability, chronic illness, and chronic disease is essential for providing effective healthcare.
The biopsychosocial model offers a comprehensive perspective on disability, highlighting the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors.
Nursing care for individuals with disabilities requires individualized approaches, effective communication, accessible environments, and strong advocacy.
Chronic conditions are on the rise due to factors like aging populations, lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and improved diagnosis.
Chronic conditions are characterized by their long duration, gradual progression, need for ongoing care, and impact on daily life.
Effective nursing management of chronic conditions involves continuous monitoring, patient education, emotional support, and coordinated care.
Chronic conditions can significantly impact families, creating emotional strain, financial burdens, and caregiver responsibilities.
Support systems and resources play a critical role in assisting individuals and families in navigating the challenges of disability and chronic conditions.
