Health Care Theses Samples For Students

The article ‘Online learning: anywhere anytime education for specialist nursing (Bromley, P., 2010)’ is a critical analysis if the American Nurses of College Association views in 1999 which suggested that nurse education would require a review in the next decade. This, according to the Association, would be occasioned by the need to have nurses who could manage information and technology while incorporating it with the complicated clinical judgment that define their profession on a daily basis. The article analyses this prediction from a point of view that the association had rightly predicted how the nursing career would change over ...

Representative samples of the population will be drawn using simple random techniques. A comprehensive plan of this research ...

Introduction

As myriad of changes continue being experienced in the health sector, several challenges prevent effective implementation of healthcare services. These challenges include limitation in healthcare services, inefficient skills, unskilled personnel, poverty and huge gap between the number of skilled healthcare providers and number of patients seeking services. These problems further intensify in rural areas whereby the distance between patients and healthcare facilities prevent timely access to healthcare. This explains why several federal policies target problems facing the rural poor. Studies further show that more than 15 percent of healthcare beneficiaries reside in rural areas (Thrall, 2012). These patients depend ...

Introduction

The United States has the best medical care available in the world with its top of the line facilities and experts in the field of medicine. Compared to other developed countries, it also spends the most on health (Barr, 2011). However, despite the high health allocation, the US has “the most costly system by far, with forty-eight million people uninsured, high infant mortality rates, decreasing access to care, quality of care issues, long waits in emergency rooms, [and] insurance premiums escalating faster than the cost of living” (Weinberg, 2007, p.3). The passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care ...

Introduction

The best way to describe critical reflection is through a passage delivered by Aldous Huxley in which he said, “Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happened to him” (University of Texas, 2012). In the healthcare profession, a health professional is confronted by situations that that requires critical understanding. Some encounters are challenging and perplexing. And because there is a level of urgency in the practice of medicine and healthcare, majority of the time healthcare practitioners does not have the luxury of time to contemplate on their actions. ...

Background

The hospital has the potential to be a dangerous place for health care practitioners. Among healthcare workers, nurses, interns, technicians, residents, and housekeeping staff face the greatest risks of exposure to various injuries (Shriyan, Roche, Annamma, 2012). Back injuries, allergies, radiation exposure, violence, and stress are but some of the potential injuries that healthcare workers face.
Chief amongst the potential injuries that nurses face are needlestick injuries. Needle stick injuries commonly occur during subcutaneous injections, during the drawing of blood samples, during intravenous cannulation, and as a result of repeatedly replacing a cap onto an already used needle (Goniewicz, ...

California has passed several workers compensation reform bills in recent years, in both the assembly and senate of the state legislature. Each reform bill has addressed perceived problems in the California Workers Compensation (WC) system depending on the factors present that influenced political agenda setting at the time. Therefore, the research presented here created the following hypothesis. If the processes for injured workers were assessed based on the historical outcomes, a better strategy could be designed. In order to test the hypothesis, the goal of the research was to interpret the complexities of SB 899 and SB ...

1 Introduction
Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s. Although most people understand what an NGO is - the name itself makes it very clear that these are organizations that are not government run – there is little consensus on what may be described as key characteristics of an NGO. As ...

Literature Review

Obesity is associated with a higher risk of cancer death, specifically deaths caused by cervical cancer. According to Wee, Phillips, & McCarthy (2005), there are about 4000 deaths every year that are caused by cervical cancer leads despite the availability of outstanding screening tests that are available in the market to detect the disease. The article of Wee, et al., (2005) is important for the study since it will explain the fact that despite early stage detection screenings that were conducted, there is no guarantee that the preventive treatment will improve the survival of patients with cervical cancer (Wee, et ...

INTRODUCTION
The poor have always had to struggle throughout the generations. Often marginalized, the poor are whittled-down to a statistic. The poor represent different things to different people. Poor women, in particular, often find themselves with limited incomes, single parent responsibilities, low employment levels, and a need to receive aid from state and county welfare programs. This general aid includes government provided medical care. However, with the passage of recent healthcare policies, the types of therapies and treatments offered to and made available to poor women is changing. Women’s health issues, concerns, and conditions often find themselves open ...

The capitalist system adopted globally comes with costs. One of the easily observable characteristic is that money defines a person. In other words, the economic ability determines one’s capacity and place in the society. This is what Karl Marx coined as pure capitalism which creates a system of classes in the society with the bottom at the pyramid being the poor.
This research paper appreciates the social class stratification argument by Karl Marx. Indeed, it is the contention of this paper that the economic ability impacts on the social class of a person. This is what can lightly ...

Cancer is a mainstay health concern for health practitioners and bodies as well as the public in virtually every state and country. Despite the remarkable progress in addressing the issue, there are serious challenges facing the development of new drugs for cancer patients.

This paper seeks to enlighten the public on the business of developing new cancer drugs for cancer patients by examining ...

What Makes Nurses so Important

Nurses are a vital component of the health care system. Whether considering the past, present, or future, the positive effect that nurses have on the physical and emotional health of patients is indisputable. In fact, statistics show that the more patients one nurse must care for, the higher the mortality rate in those patients.

Looking back at history, during the Civil War, nurses provided much of the care for the wounded soldiers. The number of soldiers wounded during the Civil War was overwhelming. Nurses were vital to the care of soldiers by taking care ...
