Assignment: Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix and Narrative Statement
Note: This Assignment is due on Day 5 of Week 11.
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 Assignment, 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:
Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda
and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.
Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.
The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)

U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address
the following:

Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.

change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local
practice and role as a nurse leader.
