Social Determinants of Health . Tobacco Use
Description
Tobacco use is a major global public health challenge, causing in excess of 7 million deaths each year. Of the 7 million tobacco-related deaths worldwide, roughly 70,000 Saudis die from smoking-related diseases (Itumalla & Aldhmadi, 2020). Research a national policy focusing on a specific tobacco prevention initiative.
Based on what you learned this week, address the following substantive requirements:
- Specific age groups impacted by tobacco use in Saudi Arabia.
- The role of public health organizations in minimizing the use of tobacco products.
- The impact of the policy on tobacco prevention and how it may minimize the adverse health risks associated with the use of tobacco products.
- Any social issues concerning the implementation of policy.
All patients deserve quality and accessible health care, and nurses have been instrumental in achieving this objective for a long time. To enhance outcomes, health care professionals apply different approaches such as collaboration and partnerships. Operation frameworks from states action coalitions have been pivotal in improving health and strengthening nursing. Action coalitions usually work to advance the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report’s recommendations. This discussion explores how Florida’s action coalition’s work aligns with IOM recommendations and the state’s progress toward meeting the recommendations.
Florida’s Action Coalition and IOM Recommendations
The IOM report on the future of nursing recommends four action areas for building a healthier America. They include nurses to deliver services to the full extent of their competence, nurses achieving the highest level of education possible, collaboration in practice, and effective workforce planning (Rekha, 2020). Florida’s action coalition’s work aligns with the four recommendations to a significant degree. For Floridians to access safe and high-quality care, the Florida Action Coalition leads in advancing the nursing profession and works towards a health care system where nurses work as essential partners in health care delivery (Campaign for Action, n.d.). The coalition has also established committees to work on the various action areas, including collaboration and workforce planning. On education, Florida is working to increase the number of registered nurses with a baccalaureate in nursing to 80% (FA Coalition, 2020). Undeniably, there are visible efforts to address each recommendation.
Florida Action Coalition has made remarkable progress towards meeting the IOM recommendations. For instance, the coalition’s membership has various entities, including co-leads, partners, and stakeholders, supporting action on the report recommendations. The entities further engage coalition partners at the state and local levels to improve Floridians’ health (Adams, 2021). Getting nurses to work on community boards promotes nursing leadership and education models to streamline learning to earn advanced degrees transform nursing education. Such interventions enable nurses to work to the best of their capacity.
Social Determinants of Health . Tobacco Use Conclusion
The IOM report guides states’ action coalitions in building healthier communities. Through action coalitions, nurses serve as essential partners in health care provision. Florida Action Coalition’s vision is creating a healthier America supported by nurses as essential partners. The coalition also promotes leadership and collaboration, enabling nurses to deliver services to the full extent of their competence, as the IOM report recommends
