N458-Studies of Professional Nursing: Global Health
Purpose of the Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to introduce the student to the major underlying determinants of poor health and their effect on the health of populations worldwide. The student will utilize these principles to create an informational wikipage for the country of their choice.
Student Approach to Assignment
My approach to this assignment included choosing a country I was interested in. I created a wikipage with information regarding the people, culture, health, diseases, healthcare systems and many other subjects. I obtained information from many sources including but not limited to, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), UNICEF, the World Factbook, and many internal reports from the countries government. This project helped me understand another culture and their practices, diseases, mortality, and how cultural beliefs and lack of access to health care impacts their lives.
