KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION Knowledge Integration to Achieve Optimal Health Reflection 2 – Health Promotion and Maintenance Dinah Asamoah Rasmussen Univeristy May 9th 2021 1 KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION 2 Knowledge Integration to Achieve Optimal Health The maintenance and promoting health are crucial factors in the nursing practices involved in ensuring the best patient outcomes through quality patient care. It entails the prevention of severe conditions and illnesses through using the appropriate knowledge to manage and treat the patient's health. The healthcare professionals use their know-how to make sure that quality care and improve the clinical practices via various practices. Background knowledge and experience were gained through the practicum curriculum in promoting care to improve the public’s health outcomes. The reflection in this paper gives details on the experiences that were used in knowledge integration to management and promotion of health in the practicum course. How Science, Art, and Humanities have Promoted Health I acknowledge that practices involved in nursing incorporate knowledge from areas such as arts, sciences, and human studies to facilitate health promotion and management methods (Archibald et al., 2018). It is essential for a professional healthcare provider to apply nursing experience and think critically in making informed decisions about the treatment plans of the patient to enhance the desirable outcomes. For example, I applied my statistical insight that I learned from practicum about the determination of the valid inference data for efficient nursing practices. It was applied during the assessment of physical activity of the aged individuals to determine if the outcomes had any significance. It is an intervention that I formulated from the arts to provide health improvement for aged persons. Humanities met my nursing experience through knowledge was used in providing an insight on the surrounding, occupational, and places the patients dwell to improve their general health. The interaction of society and culture's effects on individuals broadly defines humanity knowledge (Backer et al., 2017). In my practicum experience, I applied humanities to have a better insight into the KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION 3 social pressures and conditions involving the patients and how the conditions might have to influence their health. For instance, I learned that many patients that were in grief could develop depression. I understand that depression is a clinical condition. However, it is based on the knowledge of how social relationships can influence a person's emotions. It is important to have that knowledge to determine the stress source and provide the best interventions to manage the stress to the patients. Humanity knowledge facilitated in knowledge involved in a practicum course, which transformed into nursing activities. In my practicum experience, I have used the knowledge from the art in various ways in healthcare. for example in treating the patients with psychological problems in finding the best clinical intervention for their recovery. Science has significantly been involved in the improvement of nursing practice in my practicum. It helps in research procedures that facilitated me to use evidence-based practice to make the best-informed decisions in the treatment of mental patients and identifying methods to improve physical activities for the elderly. Also, nursing science has facilitated fostering communication and trust among the nursing students in my practicum for an improved diagnosis and experience. Application of Communication and Information Technologies Communication and information technologies were essential to facilitate preventive care during my practicum experience. I efficiently used behavioral change methods, communication, and information techniques to promote health. I was involved in the use of evidence-based care as a strategy for health promotion (Huzula et al., 2017). Evidence-based care to the patient ensures the delivery of the most effective care quality to the patients. Initially, I searched for any evidence in peer-reviewed documents and any other relevant articles. It is a procedure that used online technology to obtain relevant data. I effectively applied communication and information technologies for the best outcomes in health promotion. The technologies enable colleagues and patients to have effective communication. KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION 4 During my practicum course, I agreed with the instructor to obtain the best communication means with the patients. I discovered that teleconferencing applications are useful in facilitating communication to patients at any part of the world at the same time. The healthcare practitioners facilitated their communication through group charts in various applications such as WhatsApp. Indeed, communication and information technologies are crucial in impacting change methods and preventing care. One vital factor as a nurse leader when seeking change is to ensure the staff in healthcare is not only facilitating change but to keep the sustainability as a priority in healthcare. Conclusion In healthcare, health promotion has been crucial while combining health promotion methods and foundational knowledge in enabling the best clinical approaches. In the practicum course period, an individual is offered significant opportunities to learn about the various medical interventions with the objective to improve general public health or to promote health. The foundational knowledge of the humanities, art, and science has been useful in obtaining the best clinical strategies to promote health. Communication and information technologies have facilitated efficient coordination of healthcare practitioners and patients that has significantly led to health promotion.

Running head: CONCEPT MAP REGARDING STROKE Concept Map regarding Stroke Rasmussen University NUR4681CBE Section 01CBE Global Health April 30thth 2021 1 CONCEPT MAP REGARDING STROKE 2 CONCEPT MAP REGARDING STROKE 3 Concept Map regarding Stroke Stroke among African American Older People Among various populations in the United States, the elderly are considered more susceptible to stroke than other groups. However, the African American elderly are vulnerable to developing the disease compared to the other ethnics groups. Therefore, it is necessary to consider health disparities associated with African American Older People (people with 65 years and above). Health Disparities Age: People with 65 years and above are more susceptible to stroke compared to younger people. Gender: Though men are considered to be at a high risk of developing stroke, women get the condition at an older age compared to men, making them be at a higher risk of death. Race: African Americans are at a higher risk of developing the condition compared to other races within and outside the U.S. Pertinent Health Determinant s Socioeconomic Status: Individuals with a higher income have easy access to healthcare facilities compared to those with a lower income. Environmental Conditions: Individuals in urban centers access healthcare services easily compared to those in rural areas. Education on Health: People with enough knowledge regarding the disease experience much impact compared to those who know little (Donkin et al., 2018). Universal Declaration of Human Rights Organizations that defend the rights of health protection include WHO, USAID, and UNICEF. These organizations ensure that people are protected against the disease, especially through vaccination. Ethical Considerations Justice: Patients should be provided with equal services regardless of their ethnic differences. Beneficence: Healthcare providers should ensure that their practices benefit patients. Non-maleficence: The patients should be subjected to no harm (Klingler et al., 2017).
