Choose an illness or health need for which there is an increasing burden of disease when compared to several generations ago.
For this assessment you will need to choose an illness or health need
for which there is an increasing burden of disease when compared to
several generations ago (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
dementia, chronic pain, cancer).
Explore the nature and extent of the
health need’s impact upon the Australian health care system, health
economy and nursing (has this lead to specialist nurses? Or a new type
of nurse? Has the nursing role changed in this area over the last 100
years?). Consider changes to health care delivery or health care policy
which have met the impact of the increasing need, and the influence this
has had on society.
Examine the role of nurses with the key role for
providing interventions for those with your chosen health need, and
discuss their key competencies with reference to the NMBA Standards for
Practice for registered nurses. Explore professional organisations
available to support registered nurses in their practice, and how their
practice/role differs from other members of the health care team in
supporting people with your chosen health care need.
Finally,
elaborate on your paper by discussing your expectations for how this
area of nursing will look in 2050. Consider factors such as the
predicted nursing shortage in Australia, the aging population, predicted
number of people with your chosen health condition (and their disease
burden) and social and political factors.
