How does social justice and health inequities influence population health
care provision? Why is this critical information for the provision of evidence-
based care? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔More and more studies are being conducted
to look at the relationship of sustained exposure to toxic stress to a variety
of poor health outcomes and high-risk behaviors. These behaviors include
such things as cutting, hypervigilance, promiscuity, eating disorders, poor
school performance, depression, violence, suicidal ideation/attempts, and
justice system involvement. These are just a few of the many behaviors
found to be associated with sustained exposure to toxic stress. Studies
such as these illustrate the importance of understanding the social
determinants of poor health and the potential for doing good and preventing
harm to aggregates and populations by targeting exposures to such things
,as child abuse and neglect for prevention, early recognition, and
intervention.,
Vital Statistics - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Vital statistics provide important outcome
measures that APRNs can monitor and compare over time and analyze by
demographic variables to detect such things as health disparities. In the
United States, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) collects the
official records of births, deaths, marriages, divorces, fetal deaths, and
induced terminations of pregnancies from state and local health
departments (Aschengrau & Seage, 2013). Personnel from local health
departments review the data from death certificates, including demographic
data, looking at the immediate cause of death and any contributing factors
of death, and recording multiple causes of death. Local data are sent to a
state office for collation and then sent to the NCHS, which provides this
information to the public on its website (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs) and in an
annual publication, Vital Statistics of the United States (Friis & Sellers,
2009). APRNs can access national and global health statistics from
multiple agency sources, including government agencies, to identify health
trends and patterns (Partners, 2014). However, due to the lack of agencies
and/or resources in certain populations or regions, health information might
not be available or might be limited in scope
, Morbidity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Refers to ill health in an individual and the levels
of ill health in a population or group.
Mortality - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Mortality rates, also known as death rates, can
be useful when evaluating and comparing populations. As stated earlier,
there are many factors that can affect the natural history of disease, and
measuring mortality allows investigators to compare death rates among
and within populations
Cases - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Refers to individuals who acquire a certain disease
or condition.
Social Justice - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the defense of human dignity by ensuring
that essential human needs are met and that essential human rights are
protected for all people
Epidemiology - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the study of disease distribution within
populations and the risk factors that affect increases or decreases in
distribution.
Incidence - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Incidence rates describe the occurrence of new
events in a population over a period of time relative to the size of the
population at risk,Incidence provides information about the rate at which
