General Notes/Comments
Global Health Comparison
If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?
You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.
Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.
In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.
To Prepare:
· Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
· Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
· Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.
· Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.
