Explain globalization in the context of health and epidemiology

Hi its Louise here,

Here are a few instructions that were given to myself by the university itself. As far as I am aware they are requesting for us to relate this essay to someone that we have nursed during our time out on placements. I have chosen a stoke patient and am relying on yourself to use your imagination in order to relate this to the points below…

I hope you rememer the referencing that I sent you for the other essay that you wrote for myself. We know it as chicago style but you gave this another name, APA??. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please use the content information and the reading list that I have provided as this is what the assessors mark us on. Thanking you once again.

A 1500 word essay analyzing one global health topic giving a clear rationale with relevant trends highlighted. This is to be negotiated and agreed with an on line facilitator.

This essay should address cultural interpretations and the impact the health topic has on nursing.

100% weighting

Select a focus area or condition or illness relevant to ‘Womens Health/Communicable diseases/NCD/Child Health/Mental Health`. Give some context of the topic using epidemiology, policy and key global health principles that have been discussed within the module. These may be health systems, health discourses (biomedicine), social inequalities, gender inequalities, globalisation for example. Then explore how the situation may be improved through culturally informed practice within global health initiatives or within global nurse practice.

Guidance for the assessment

Your essay will need a clear introduction, main body and conclusion with a suggested outline as follows:

Introduction (Approx 150 words):How you are going to address this essay, outlining the relevant issue in the context of global health and your rationale.

Main body (Approx 1200 words)In the main body of your essay, you will be developing the ideas and arguments you have outlined in your introduction. You need to integrate your own ideas with evidence from your reading and other research. It is important not to be too descriptive in this section and to develop your analysis. You will need to integrate appropriate global health concepts, policies, cultural analysis and application to nursing. Evidence of a clear framework should be present.

Conclusion (Approx 150 words)Your conclusion should leave the reader with a clear picture of your main argument, and also leave them feeling positive about your ideas.

There will need to be evidence of wider reading in your assignment and using literature from global health resources to support your work. Do not rely on internet resources only, these will need to be references from peer reviewed sources such as journals and books.

You will be marked using the level 5 2013/14 marking criteria and feedback will be given using the Rubric on student central and you will be measured against the following learning outcomes:

1. Analyse a minimum of one global health issue in depth using an appropriate theoretical framework and current research

2. Explain globalisation in the context of health and epidemiology

3. Review global health principles and social inequalities

4. Explore the impact of culture on global health and nursing

Assessment tasks A 1500 word essay analyzing one global health topic giving a clear rationale with relevant trends highlighted. This is to be negotiated and agreed with an on line facilitator.

This essay should address cultural interpretations and the impact the health topic has on nursing.

100% weighting

Brief description of module content and/or aims (maximum 80 words) This module develops knowledge of global health concepts and their related impact on health care and nursing. Cultural theory, knowledge, skills, experience and sensitivity will be explored and students will gain an increased understanding of global influences and organizations such as the WHO, UNESCO and international professional bodies

Advise on writing the essay:

All information is given in the handbook with full structural guidance offered. Do review the learning outcomes.

It is useful for students to ask a question that the essay then answers, this gives focus and clarity to your work as otherwise work produced tends to be too broad and misses key learning outcomes. Do let your facilitator know the title/questions of your essays so they can guide on this.

You are also required to use a theoretical structure to underpin your essay, what this means is that you use an appropriate theory to explore what you may want to discuss.

This means that your discussion has theoretical underpinning, so for example, you could use a cultural model to frame your answer if culture was key in your discussion (dietary intake related to cultural beliefs for example) or if you particularly wanted to discuss poverty and/social inequalities as being key to your discussion then use a social inequalities theory to strengthen your argument. It is not likely that any of you will argue that the global health problem you are discussing is purely caused by disease (biomedical framework) without other influences, .

Learning outcome 4 is met when you then discuss how nursing can address these problems. This does NOT just mean how you as a nurse can give advise to a patient with TB in the UK. This is about how nursing with a knowledge of cultural challenges can address the problems and how the profession can do this too either at a global level in policy development or through global health initiatives.

Do ensure that you use the GLOBAL HEALTH literature to support your arguments (Learing All the learning outcomes are covered in the study materials and such if you refer to the literature associated with the study materials then this will ensure that you meet the wider reading expected for this essay.

SO top tips of what to do and what not to do:

1. Do not use word allowance to define the disease in any depth, this is not a medical essay

2. Stick to a focus within the work, there is only 1,500 words

3. Consider 2 or 3 main points of argument and use theory/research to underpin this

4. Do not rely on NGO websites for epidemiology, always go to the primary source

5. Ensure that this has a global perspective.
