Task

For this assignment, you will review six short answer question on the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) and their impact on a vulnerable population of your choice. You are tasked with selecting a recent media article related to a vulnerable population (published within the last twelve months - each student will have a unique article). You are required to make linkages between the vulnerable population and one social determinant of health of your choosing by answering the short answer question below. The short answer questions below are framed using Rolfe, Freshwater & Jasper's reflective model. This will help you delve into the significance of the SDH for healthy living, analyse barriers to access, reflect on the implications of reduced access and propose nursing interventions to promote health,

This assignment offers an opportunity to examine the profound influence of social, economic, and environmental factors on the health outcomes of vulnerable populations. By critically analysing the chosen media article and applying reflective inquiry, you will gain valuable insights into the challenges faced by these groups and explore potential nursing interventions to address health disparities.

Assessment criteria

Description and Justification of SDH: Clearly describe the chosen SDH and provide evidence to support its selection as vital to health outcomes.

Exploration of Access Barriers: Use Rolfe, Freshwater & Jasper's reflective model, to explore difficulties in accessing the identified determinant for the vulnerable group and discuss the impact of reduced access on health outcomes.

Nursing Actions and Reflective Practice: Explain nursing actions to improve access to the SDH for the group and demonstrate how reflective practice, as described by the NMBA, can be applied in primary and community care settings.

Writing Quality: Consistent use of academic writing with correct grammar, spelling, and paragraphing, utilising personal pronouns as appropriate.
