    Context

    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.

  • Assessment Instructions

    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.

CVD AS A GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUE

2
Introduction

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading cause of death globally and consuming a
huge portion of the global healthcare budget. In this article, the background information and
basic statistics relating to CVD as a global health concern are discuses. The article also provides
an overview of the factors that have a significant impact on the health and health care delivery in
the global areas that are more vulnerable to CVD. In addition, the article provides an explanation
of the influence of altruistic organizations on global health and health care practices with respect
to CVD. In addition, the paper provides a description of the conventional and unconventional
interventions implemented to address the issues and how the local health care decisions and
practices impact the global health and health care delivery. Finally, the paper will identify
evidence-based interventions use in promoting quality outcome.
Cardiovascular Disease as a Global Health Issues
By 2013, the global data on CVD showed that there was a 39% decrease in the
prevalence of the disease. However, the global deaths attributed to CVD rose by over 41%,
indicating that CVD is still a major global health issue. Both stroke and ischemic heart diseases
have risen by 42% and 54% respectively, taking third and second position in terms of the global
causes of death (Martin, Duffy, Johnston, et al., 2013). However, most of these incidences are
reported in low-income countries and middle-income countries which face the challenge of
scarce financial and medical resources and equipment to address the issue. Perhaps this factor is
attributed by the fact that over 85% of the global population lives in middle and low-income
countries whit a high rate of population growth.
On the other hand, developed countries like the UK and USA have recorded a 50% and
75% decrease in CVD related deaths respectively. These countries have reported such great

improvement due to the healthier diets, improved intervention measures and policies of
managing the global issues. Low rates of alcoholism and smoking, early diagnosis, treatment,
prevention, and management of acute CVD events, and effective implementation of secondary
prevention (Martin, Duffy, Johnston, et al., 2013). However, mortality and morbidity remain
high despite the impressive gains but disproportionately among the less developed countries and
among the marginalized populations. These major concerns over CVD have made it necessary
for WHO to target up to 25% reduction in its prevalence within the next 10 years.
