NUR3101 ASSIGNMENT
NUR3101: Primary Health Care in the Global Context Assessment 3
1500 words +/-10% (includes in-text referencing and excludes reference list)
Introduction (150 words)
Global health challenges are those which impact on all human populations.
“The Sustainable Development Goals (UN) are the blueprint to achieve a
better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges
we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change,
environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all
interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we
achieve them all by 2030” (United Nations, ND). This paper will provide a
critical discussion exploring Sustainable Development Goal 3: (SDG 3) Good
Health and Wellbeing. As primary providers of healthcare to all countries,
settings and communities, nurses are key to the achievement of SDG’s (ICN,
2018). …………… In the challenge to provide culturally safe, person-centred
health care, evidence based solutions from the research literature will be
discussed. Concerns relating to the social determinants of health; will also be
discussed in terms of availability, accessibility, acceptability, affordability, and
cultural appropriateness.
Overview and context of the chosen goal, including epidemiological data.
The WHO describes the SDGs as a blueprint for systematically addressing
the social determinants of health (Government of South Australia and
WHO 2017).
Focusing on health and well-being through the lens of specific SDG 3
targets …..(there are 13 targets). “Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing
for all at all ages”.
‘Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”. This
goal is translated into 13 targets: three relate to reproductive and
child health; three to communicable diseases, non-communicable
diseases, and addiction; two to environmental health; and one to
achieving universal health coverage (UHC). Four further targets
relate to tobacco control, vaccines and medicines, health financing
and workforce, and global health risk preparedness’ (Pettigrew et
al., 2015).
Read this article to guide you. As to how to speak broadly.
Epidemiology is the study of how often diseases occur in different groups
of people and why. Epidemiological information is used to plan and
evaluate strategies to prevent illness and as a guide to the management of
patients in whom disease has already developed. Read this article.

Answer
Good Health and Wellbeing
Introduction
Leaders across the world have awakened to the fact that the increasing human population, intrusive economic activities, and other anthropogenic trends are posing great challenges to not only the human race but also all forms of life on earth. Such a reality further jeopardizes the future of humanity as its existence is largely dependent on fully functional ecosystems. In the wake of such a realization, the United Nations developed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 to gear the world in a noble journey towards sustainability (Pettigrew et al., 2015). This decision was inspired by a plethora of challenges revolving around the unprecedented increase of human population. Some of these global issues include inequality, climate change, poverty, environmental degradation, and the promotion of peace and justice (Mcfarlane et al., 2020). The limited scope of this piece compels the author to focus on delivering a critical exploration of Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing. Inasmuch as nurses are equipped with fundamental knowledge and skills to facilitate evidence-based solution in a culturally-safe, and person-centered care, they ought to explore advocacy techniques that will allow them to improve global determinants of health, including living conditions and healthcare service accessibility.
Good Health and Wellbeing
As aforementioned, good health and wellbeing is the third goal developed by the United Nations in 2015. This decision was inspired by disheartening realities, such as the wanton lack of basic care, poor living conditions, global pandemics (mainly HIV), non-communicable disease-induced mortality rates, sexual violence effects, and environmental degradation. According to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) (2020), over 400 million people in the world cannot access basic healthcare, while almost 50 percent of the world populace lacks social protection. To make matters worse, approximately 1.6 billion members of the global village live in poor conditions, which further curtails their capacity to access fundamental health service. Another inspiration behind the SDGs is the largely underserved HIV-infected population despite its high fatality rate. An investigation conducted by the UNDP in 2017 found that over 15 million people could not access antiretroviral treatment. When reflecting on the first three facts, it is obvious that access to social welfare and healthcare resources pose a major challenge.
Furthermore, the number of premature deaths attributable to non-communicable conditions, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic respiratory illness, are on a rise. In fact, UNDP (2020) highlights that at least thirty adults between 30 and 70 years lose their lives to non-communicable disease every single minute. The mortality rate is further augmented by the contamination of atmospheric air, which accounts for around 7 million lost lives. The reduction of mortality rates caused by air pollution is among the UN’s key agendas for the incoming decade, and it will necessitate unified public policy actions aimed at regulating anthropogenic activities. Lastly, UNDP (2020) found that a third of women in the world are victims of sexual violence, which affects their physical, sexual, reproductive, and mental health in both the short- and long-term. Unlike the preceding issues believed to have inspired the emergence of UN’s third SDG, this one demonstrates how poor living conditions result in significant number of deaths. When reflecting on these issues, the United Nation’s decision to target non-communicable diseases and environmental health appears understandable.
Role of Nursing in promoting Good Health and Wellbeing
Nurses have a crucial role to play in the pursuit of good health and wellbeing. Their knowledge, skills, and experience in healthcare, especially in matters pertaining to patient experience, gives them a convenient leverage for this journey. Rosa, Upvall, Beck, and Dossey (2019) contribute to this discourse by arguing that primary care nurses have the greatest duty with regards to this SDG since they can influence public health from local to global levels. Such a sentiment implies that the practitioners can promote good health at the lower levels by committing fully to their purpose when dealing with patients while engaging in advocacy actions to facilitate broad transformations. It is fair to highlight that effective coordination is warranted among nurse practitioners operating as point-of-care primary providers and the ones serving nations through advocacy actions such as lobbying, campaigning, and policymaking.
Smooth performance by nurses can be attained only if the standards of practice are perceived from an international lens. Rosa, Upvall, Beck, and Dossey (2019) urge that nurses should view people as an interconnected being known as humanity. Such a viewpoint allows them to redefine the focus of their ethical standards of practice. For instance, the second provision of the Code of Ethics states that “the nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient” (ANA, 2015). This provision is bound to have a powerful meaning when the commitment is directed towards the planet as a whole rather than a single patient. With such a broad commitment, nurse practitioners at all levels will tend to reflect on and execute solutions that promote the greater good. As a matter of fact, the fourth provision of this Code of Ethics demands global accountability. Nurses will be expected to demonstrate how their decisions and actions contribute to the UN’s mission to foster good health and wellbeing.
Barriers and Enablers to Nurses’ Role in the Promotion of Good Health and Wellbeing
Nurses should not expect this journey to be a walk in the park given the huge obstacles they face. Healthcare systems across the world are not ready for this change. In the United States alone, for example, fragmentation has been a household name in the literature body for over five decades. Even with the use of integrative software, such as the electronic health records, the country’s healthcare system has not reached its full potential. Systems in regions such as Africa are in a worse state: apart from the widely-discussed resource insufficiency, healthcare systems in this continent differ across its 54 countries. This reality encourages the notion that universal coordination cannot be attained until the systems are perfectly integrated within the continents. Another professional challenge highlighted by Rosa, Upvall, Beck and Dossey (2019) is the assassination of activists. The authors found that at least 1 activist was killed per day for advocating for sustainability and equality between 2016 and 2017 alone. This threat also poses a significant barrier, but it can be resolved if sufficient attention is put on the matter.
Fortunately, epidemiology offers some hope to individuals hoping to transform practice on a global scale. This discipline resolves the fragmentation challenge by ensuring that policymakers across the world have a broad picture of global healthcare patterns and outcomes. It is through in-depth exploration of healthcare trends that innovative thinkers will create solutions that serve the greater good. Sachs (2017) advocates for epidemiology as he believes that the current information networks and systems contain insightful data that can be leveraged to facilitate sustainable development. The only challenge Sachs (2017) highlights is the lack of sufficient manpower in the field of epidemiology. Perhaps, investments should be made to ensure that a significant portion of nurses pursue this field for advocacy purposes.
Evidence-Based Solutions
So far, it is established that good health and wellbeing can be quite unattainable without international coordination. Australia and Taiwan are among the commendable national actors that have implemented convenient solutions to help advance this global initiative. In Taiwan, the executive established a National Council of Sustainable Development (NCSD) to focus on the creation of beautiful, safe, healthy, and sustainable environments for its citizens in their day-to-day lives. When placed into perspective, this coordinative effort is at the core of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda; namely, to secure a peaceful, sustainable, equitable, and prosperous life for every living being on earth (Chao, 2019). Governments can adopt a similar approach to ensure that their regimes have a clear focus on this matter.
Australia’s commitment to sustainable development goals through its voluntary national review (VNR) program is also encouraging. In their article, Brolan, Hall, Creamer, Johnston and Dantas (2019) commend the country’s decision to focus on inclusivity and transparency in its pursuit of sustainable development. The authors believe that Australia’s voluntary national review gives citizens an opportunity to demand accountability from the government with respect to this issue. Clearly, such a move fosters both transparency and inclusivity that prompts the government to accord this mission the seriousness it deserves. The most interesting aspect of this initiative is the recommendations offered by volunteers. After reviewing the government’s performance with respect to sustainable development, the stakeholders share their views on steps that should be taken to improve performance. This gives nurse practitioners an open avenue to participate in advocacy through the VNR.
Conclusion
The unprecedented growth in human population is responsible for a significant portion of the problems currently facing the world, ranging from diseases, deaths, and life-threatening lifestyle conditions. The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals offer a golden chance to reverse these trends through responsibility and coordination. Good health and wellbeing is quite attainable as long as member states are willing to utilize their healthcare resources, including nurse practitioners, in the implementation of strategic solutions that serve the greater good.
and digital worlds.
