The Qualitative Study Used For The Study Conducted By Oster, Mayan, And Toth

Canada is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world. The rate of immigrant as a health care professional has increased significantly in past 20 years however; there is still shortage of health care providers in the first nation’s community. Health care professional often does not want to work in these areas due to extreme weather condtions, less social interaction, and family problems. The video nursing in a first nation’s community is very inspiring; despite various challenges their commitment to work in the first nation’s community is tremendous. I agree with the nurses working in these communities as nursing in these areas is very demanding, sometimes nurses have to beyond their nursing skills and lack of resources also makes

In the Alaskan native communities, the midwife was a central role. According to the stories Mulcahy heard from the women in the village, the midwives knew how to heal, and that was why they were trusted over western care (Mulcahy 44). Some village women also could not pay a doctor’s fees so they went to a midwife (Mulcahy 47). The women Mulcahy interviewed shared their positive experiences with the midwives. They were helpful with prenatal care as well as postpartum care by doing chores around the house for the mother (Mulcahy 48). When the Community Health Aide Program was introduced, midwives transitioned from just delivering babies to also caring for the sick, thus increasing the significance of the midwife (Mulcahy 63).

Overall, all articles reviewed by Simmonds et al (2012) led them to support the need to provide culturally appropriate maternity services to Aboriginal women and led the investigators to underpin a research question that I considered feasible, interesting, ethical and relevant to midwifery and obstetric practice.

The Ottawa Charter emphasises the importance of global health promotion by identifying necessary conditions, sectors and resources involved in obtaining optimum community health. This is broken down into five strategies building healthy public policy, creating supportive environments for mother and child, strengthening community actions, developing personal skills, and reorienting health services (McMurray & Clendon, 2015). This essay will address optimum maternal health being ensured by the support of nurses and midwives to maintain healthy lives for both mother and child. Proceeding with a brief description of maternal health, followed by the role of the nurse/ midwife in response to the condition. This will be in relation to the five major

Furthermore, the study continued to demonstrate how nursing interventions lead to significant patient outcomes in the management of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia (Peek, Cargil, & Huang, 2007). In like matter it is significant in nursing, because RN case management and clinical management working along with community outreach that led to large reported improvements among minorities. None the less in this research report lied the question wither diabetes health care programs which were culturally centered interventions provided greater patient outcomes (Peek, Cargil, & Huang, 2007). One can come to the understanding the implications that need to be made to create change and prevent further diabetes health

Indigenous health is a vital tool in health care today. The case study is about an indigenous lady who is from a remote community. This case study will define culture shock, transcultural theory. Finally it will states the recommendations that can be acquired to improve the current indigenous health care issue as it can be noted that the indigenous health tends has been deteoriating.

As Page (2000) states, in providing woman centred care, it is important to understand the woman together with her values, worries and hopes for her pregnancy. In Jill’s case, it was important for the midwife and student to approach her as a pregnant woman and not as woman with diabetes who

The Mayan culture, political, and economic had contributions to the Mesoamerican. The cultural of the Mayans was pyramid builders like Egyptians, chichen Itza similar to the Egyptian pyramids/ziggurat for sports they had several ball courts a ritual sport and they wrote using hieroglyphics. Their Religion was divided their cosmos into three parts, humans middle level between the heavens and the underworld the gods created humans out of maize (corn) and the gods maintained agricultural cycle for honors, sacrifices, bloodletting ritual. Warfare has religious significance they had days of ritual to precede battle the King and nobility actively participate in battle as they used slaves as manpower no large animals. The Golden age from 500 to 850

Unintended pregnancy rates in Canada have declined over the previous decades. However, this declining pattern is not applicable to all populations. Specifically, Aboriginal and First Nation adolescents’ pregnancy rates are higher than those of non-Aboriginal populations around the nation(cite). Unplanned pregnancies significantly impact the lives of the mothers and children, close-knit Aboriginal communities, and society. Contributing factors to the issue include general socioeconomic aspects and culturally specific dynamics that apply solely to this population(cite?). An understanding of the Aboriginal and First Nations communities, including their cultural values and belief systems, are imperative to addressing and mediating this issue. Furthermore, encouraging participation and building capacity of the Aboriginal mothers and their communities is a priority. Without getting all affected parties involved, the impact of community nursing interventions will not be successful nor sustainable.

Qualitative research is conducted in a natural setting and attempts to understand a human problem by developing a holistic narrative and reporting detailed views of informants about the culture of a problem. It forms a report with pictures and words. One of the most important distinctions that sets qualitative research apart from more traditional types of research is that qualitative research is holistic in that researchers study phenomena in their entirety rather than narrowing the focus to specific defined variables” (p. 93). Similarly, Cresswell (1984) indicated that qualitative research “is defined as an inquiry process of understanding a social or human problem, based on building a holistic picture, formed with words, reporting detailed views of informants, and conducted in a natural setting” (p. 2). Cresswell’s definition clearly delineates the major characteristics of qualitative research. Pg. 50 (Smith & Davis, 2010).

Health is a dynamic, changing state of well-being, which includes physical, mental, sociological, and cultural factors of both individual members and the whole family system (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco, & Hanson, 2015, p. 5). The Health and well-being of individuals and families are important in order to attain a healthy lifestyle. Community health promotion allows nurses to work with individuals, families, and groups from diverse cultures, traditions and languages to teach health-seeking behaviors (Stamler & Yiu, 2012). Health promotion engulfs preventing, maintaining, strengthening and improving each person’s health; by allowing them to learn ways to take an active part in self-care through education. The purpose of this paper is to discuss community health nursing, and how it fosters nursing practice through the experience gained from analyzing two scenarios from the Aberhart Center Tuberculosis Clinic. The CARNA competencies will be applied to the experiences.

The qualitative research was set in 4 rural communities in British Columbia, Canada. 2 rural communities had highly functional and collaborative interprofessional relationships and 2 other rural communities lacked cooperation. 55 participants were interviewed and 18 focus groups were conducted with midwives, physicians, birthing women, nurses, community based providers,

Cultural Competence based on the Purnell Model can provide a comprehensive, systematic, and concise structure for learning and understanding the Palauan culture. Based on the previous paper regarding my Palauan friend, S.S., I will be discussing five areas where I can further improve my transcultural care pertaining to this specific community. These areas are in communications, high-risk health behaviors, nutrition, pregnancy and the childbearing practices, and death rituals (Purnell, 2014). Furthermore, I will present a reassessment of my culture competency to evaluate my learning that can positively affect the nursing care of individuals from diverse cultures represented by the Palauans.

Mayan culture was one of the most complex civilizations of the Mesoamerican societies. Mayans are well-known for their refined mathematical and astronomical system, monumental architecture, and astonishing artworks. I will not focus on specific artwork and writing but the context in general. I have obtained great facts upon Mayan culture and writings. The ingenuous data that I will be discussing can be found in the book titled “The Hidden Maya”, a short text consisting of veiled information upon the survival and aspects of Mayan culture.

Moreover, application of partnership in nursing care includes working together with a common goal to obtain a better health outcome. Good cooperation, awareness of the client’s culture and effective communication is mandatory for a nurse to attain a possible outcome (Wepa, 2005). To illustrate, in a community setting, a Maori couple came with their child with obesity and seek help. The duty of the nurse has to work with the family of child
