Homework: Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix and Narrative Statement

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

In this Homework, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

To Prepare:

1) Review the World Health Organization's (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Homework.

2) Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Homework.

3) Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.

4) Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.
