CONSIDER THE CHALLENGES OF PROVIDING HEALTH CARE IN UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES.

   Discussion: What Can Nurses Do?

    Many people, most of them in tropical countries of the Third World, die of preventable, curable diseases. . . . Malaria, tuberculosis, acute lower-respiratory infections—in 1998, these claimed 6.1 million lives. People died because the drugs to treat those illnesses are nonexistent or are no longer effective. They died because it doesn’t pay to keep them alive.

    –Ken Silverstein, Millions for Viagra. Pennies for Diseases of the Poor, The Nation, July 19, 1999

Unfortunately, since 1998, little has changed. For many individuals living in impoverished underdeveloped countries, even basic medical care is difficult to obtain. Although international agencies sponsor outreach programs and corporations, and although nonprofit organizations donate goods and services, the level of health care remains far below what is necessary to meet the needs of struggling populations. Polluted water supplies, unsanitary conditions, and poor nutrition only exacerbate the poor health prevalent in these environments. Nurses working in developed nations have many opportunities/advantages that typically are not available to those in underdeveloped countries. What can nurses do to support their international colleagues and advocate for the poor and underserved of the world?

In this Discussion, you will consider the challenges of providing health care for the world’s neediest citizens, as well as how nurses can advocate for these citizens.

                                                  To prepare:

    Consider the challenges of providing health care in underdeveloped countries.
    Conduct research in the Walden Library and other reliable resources to determine strategies being used to address these challenges.
    Using this week’s Learning Resources, note the factors that impact the ability of individuals in underdeveloped nations to obtain adequate health care.
    Consider strategies nurses can use to advocate for health care at the global level. What can one nurse do to make a difference?

I NEED A RESPONSE TO THIS ASSIGNMENT
ZERO PLAGIARISM
2 REFERENCE
After reading the case study “I am feeling like I’m going crazy” (Walden University 2020), I identified some criteria that will support the diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Patient has been self-harming about ten months ago; he has been having insomnia; patient expresses anhedonia; low self-esteem; two suicide attempts; depressed mood; low energy, and . According to the American Psychiatric Association (2013), when five of these criteria causes the individual emotional social and occupational distress, and not related to any substance use, the diagnosis is major depressive disorder, severe. Although patient’s meets the criteria for major depressive disorder, the patient also displays irritable mood, which is criteria for diagnosing the patient with manic episode with irritable mood. However, the patient did not display any manic behavior and hence could not be diagnosed with this diagnosis. Also, the patient displays mood disorder which he could be diagnose with, but this is not due to any medical condition (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Hence the diagnosis of major depressive disorder , severe is patient’s diagnosis because patient meets the criteria for this diagnosis.
For this client, the therapeutic approach I can use is cognitive behavioral therapy. Patient has irrational thoughts of not being supported, low self-esteem and has pressure of getting better grades in school. Irrational thoughts are the cause of emotional and behavioral disturbance that affects the thinking process of the individual (Ellis , 1962 cited by McGillivray, and Evert, 2014). McGillivray, and Evert. (2014), explained that cognitive behavioral therapy helps to change the irrational beliefs and thoughts into rational thoughts that will improve the mental health of the individual. In a research with teenagers of autism spectrum disorder, CBT proved to be effective when used for patients with depression and anxiety (Chalfant et al2007, cited by McGillivray, and Evert, 2014).
Counselors providing therapy to adolescent should make sure that they have the training and skills to do so. This is because knowledge in the treatment of adolescent will help improve mental health of adolescent. Research on the preparation of interns to work with adolescent shows that those who were trained and skilled in working with adolescents contributed more to the mental wellbeing of the adolescent than the unskilled and trained intern (Russ, 2019).
Another ethical problem that counselors faced with counseling adolescent is confidentiality. Adolescents will be at ease in talking to their counselors that to their parents, and they want that to be confidential between them and the counselors.
