4-The main problem that is affecting the organization that I work for is the problem of staff shortage. This has resulted in the nurses and other personnel being over worked and in some cases having to work longer hours. However, addressing this problem is proving to be a difficult job as one would think that the organization should just hire new nurses and other staff to solve the problem. However, this has not been a solution to the facility for different issues. One of the main issue that has resulted in the facility being unable to hire more staff is the decrease in finances in the facility (Jones, 2005). Therefore, the facility has been unable to successfully hire new nurses so as to be able to solve the problem of nurse shortage. As time goes, the allocations that are made to the facilities have reduced significantly as well as the decrease in the money that patients are paying as the government aims at providing affordable care.

The first solution to this problem is that the facility should begin by finding a new source of income. This means that the facilities need to engage in extra activities that will ensure that they are able to raise some money (Berent & Anderko, 2011). This money can be used to boost the allocations that they have as well as the money they get from treatments to ensure that they are able to have enough money to ensure that they are able to hire as well as pay more nurses and other workers. Further, facilities need to engage in the process of giving scholarships to nursing students. This will look to support education and training of nurses that will in turn increase the number of nurses in the country. One of the reasons that the facilities have been unable to fill the gap is because there are not enough nurses in the country.

6-Pay and benefits are one important factor for many health care organizations especially with budget cuts and higher acuity of patients. Some staff are mandated and burnout occurs causing an increase in staff shortage. How would you see this as a possible solution in your own facility or how likely would you see the ability to implement this intervention into your own facility?

Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include the following:

1. Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
2. What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
3. Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
4. What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?  
5. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
6. What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Develop a 6–8 page, APA-formatted article on a global health topic for  publication. Describe the factors that impact health and health care  delivery, and the interventions that have been implemented. Explain the  influence of altruism on global health, and identify evidence-based  interventions to address the global health topic.

The overall wealth of a country often influences the country’s level of  accessible health care and, ultimately, the health of the country’s  citizens. However, developed countries often face similar public health  issues as developing and middle-income countries. For example, HIV and  AIDS are major public health concerns in both the United States and in  many less developed sub-Saharan African countries. Through  collaboration, research, and direct care, community/public health nurses  can provide expertise and leadership in international health issues  (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Understanding the processes involved in  caring for populations provides the foundation for collaborative  practices in international nursing care.

Preparation

Suppose you have been asked to submit an article for publication in  your organization’s newsletter, about a global health topic and how  policies and practices at the local level can affect global health.  Choose one global health topic from the list (or use another of your  choice):

• Mental health.
• Communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, influenza, malaria, tuberculosis).
• Non-communicable diseases (cancer, lung, and heart disease).
• Maternal and child health (prenatal care, midwife education, childhood vaccinations).
• LGBT health.
• Disabilities.
• Global water supply and safety (GlobalHealth.gov, n.d.).

Look in the Capella library and on the Internet for very recent  peer-reviewed articles, statistics, and professional nursing information  on the global health topic you selected.

Requirements

For this assessment, develop an APA-formatted research review  article that covers one global health topic of your choice. In this  assessment:

• Identify your topic. Provide background information and  statistics on the topic, including the global areas most affected by the  topic and the types of health care issues most often associated with  the topic.
• Describe the factors that impact health and health care delivery  in the global areas most affected by the topic you selected. These  factors may include not only culture and tradition, but also politics,  economics, and social attitude.
• Explain the influence of altruistic organizations (Peace Corps,  Project Hope, religious and non-religious missions, and so on) on health  and health care practices in the global area specifically associated  with the topic.
• Describe the interventions implemented to address the health care  issues associated with the topic. Include both conventional and  unconventional interventions.
• Explain how the health care decisions and practices at the local  level (the area most impacted by the topic) relate to health and health  care delivery in other global areas. This is not limited only to best  practices, but could include poor health care decisions and practices.
• Identify evidence-based interventions that are effective,  efficient, cost-effective, and equitable for promoting wellness and  disease prevention in the specific area and population.

Additional Requirements

Complete your assessment using the following specifications:

• Title page and reference page.
• Number of pages: 6–8 (not  including the title and reference pages).
• At least 3 current scholarly or professional resources.
• APA format for citations and references.
• Times New Roman font, 12-point, double-spaced.
