Report
My most recent experience accessing healthcare, first related to the biomedical/physical model. Since healthcare is everchanging and advancing, technology allows for improvement in the outcome of patient care. In the video, there were 3 different models discussed. The models were biomedical, social, and health promotion. The biomedical model starts when someone uses the internet to search for a healthcare facility that can provide the care that they are looking for. I do agree that it does not help with treating all diseases. This is because the model is very costly (Rich, 2017). Recently I had to go to an urgent care due to an unexpected sickness rather than being diagnosed and prescribed medication instantly the providers looked at other factors that may have contributed to my illness. His recommendation focused on lifestyle changes and recommending preventative measures to prevent the illness from recurring. This experience is closely aligned with the social model. This model is a collaborative approach which is not always as common in the urgent care setting (Rich, 2017). The strategies of health promotion that would be the most useful in my workplace would be to create a supportive environment. Are nurses or healthcare workers we are the biggest advocates for our patients no matter what healthcare setting we are working in. To have a supportive environment teamwork and a conducive environment are key (Rich, 2017). I have worked in a setting where there were very unsupportive peers which in turn brings down the morale in the workplace. This starts with having a positive attitude and a safe and positive environment (Rich, 2017). The CDC's approach to addressing sleep-related infant death includes ensuring a safe sleep environment as well as no smoking in the home (CDC, 2022). I do agree with their approach as someone who has experience working in the NICU. Safe sleep is something that we always had to educate parents about. In the NICU we made sure to set a great standard by adhering to the safe sleep protocol to ensure the parents were learning before their baby was discharged (CDC, 2022). One additional approach that I would take to address this health issue would be the see one, do one, and teach one. When parents have a newborn there is a lot of new information they receive and there is also a lot of information on the internet that can often be conflicting. I would show parents how to ensure safe sleep, have them demonstrate, and teach back. This seems to be a very effective approach (CDC, 2022). As a future nurse leader, I will have a positive impact on health promotion in the community. I will be able to achieve this by acting in the community. This entails the leadership role which provides owning, controlling, making decisions, implementing, and initiating change (Rich, 2017). Being in the leadership role entails educating others, and continuing to gain additional knowledge to better help the community. As I said before, having an impact on health promotion and creating a supportive environment will be crucial as
this allows other team members to approach any situation with confidence (Rich, 2017). References: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2022, March 18). Promoting health for infants .
