Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Health Information, Health Promotion and Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine sponsored a series of 1-day consultation meetings for specific populations in 1980 to provide an opportunity for American populations to advise the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion on ways to ensure that the emerging national objectives for disease prevention and health promotion and the plans for implementing them respond to the health needs of these populations as well as to the general public. The specific populations included Asian, Black, Hispanic and Elderly Americans, and American Indians. Participants were asked to rank and offer advice on the 15 priority areas for which objectives have been developed (these are, for health promotion--reducing smoking and misuse of alcohol and drugs, exercise and fitness, improved nutrition, stress and violence control; for health protection--injury control, occupational safety and health, dental health protection, toxic and infectious agent control; for preventive health services--family planning, pregnancy and infant care, immunizations, sexually transmissible disease services, hypertension control); review strategies on ways to accomplish the health promotion objectives, recognizing social and economic circumstances that must be addressed simultaneously; and make recommendations based on these reviews for agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services, centered around the mechanisms available to the Department (grants to states and localities, research and demonstrations, monitoring and surveillance, dissemination, technical assistance, manpower development, and direct services). Overall comments and recommendations are summarized, and the views of participants in the sessions for each specific population are presented separately. Lists of invited participants and observers are appended; Federal and non-Federal participants were included.

Download or read book Hispanics and the Future of America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

Download or read book Emerging Issues in Hispanic Health written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-10-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics are defined as people of Spanish-speaking origin from Latin America, the Caribbean, or Europe. Hispanics vary in terms of socioeconomic status, race, religion and/or more. A common occurrence among the Hispanics, however, are the emerging issues concerning their health.It is estimated that by 2050 Hispanics will make up more than 25% of the United States' population. It is thus important that they have the resources to contribute maximally to American society. This can come about by first understanding and dealing with issues surrounding their health. In hopes of examining these issues and as a part of its continuing commitment to promote a national dialogue on race and diversity in the United States, the National Academies organized an expert meeting on Emerging Issues in Hispanic Health on April 10, 2002. Emerging Issues in Hispanic Health: Summary of a Workshop includes a review of key demographic data, such as population statistics, that characterize the Hispanic population in the United States; research on the socioeconomic, sociocultural, and behavioral determinants of health; effects of selective migration; the apparent epidemiological paradox : the relatively positive health outcomes observed in some Hispanic populations despite their relatively poor socioeconomic status or other types of disadvantage such as discrimination; and more.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book Culturally Competent Nursing Care of the Hispanic Population written by Melanie Rines and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics are quickly increasing in numbers throughout the nation, particularly in the state of California. Hispanics comprise the largest minority group, which warrants special attention. Nurses have the most direct patient contact in comparison to other healthcare professionals, hence, they should utilize this vantage point to provide culturally competent care to patients. Nurses must strive to meet the needs of the Hispanic population, provide language appropriate education, decrease transportation and cost barriers, and improve access to quality health care services in the heart of Hispanic communities. This requires identifying and overcoming barriers that prevent equitable access to healthcare, such as finances, language, and immigration status. Children and immigrant subgroups also merit distinctive consideration because of their unique healthcare needs and continued disparities in health. Culturally competent nursing care is rapidly becoming the center of focus by government and healthcare organizations and the cornerstone of quality nursing care of minority populations. Therefore, it is imperative for nursing professionals to take the lead in the improvement of healthcare practices. The overarching goal of this document is to improve health outcomes of the Hispanic population by promoting culturally competent nursing care. Culturally competent nursing care is a key element to improving the health of the Hispanic population.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 written by National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
