Overview

Healthcare professionals play a critical part in global health by analyzing health issues across the planet. As a healthcare professional, you may find an opportunity to improve specific health concerns across the globe. As the world becomes more connected, your responsibility to affect change becomes more relevant and essential. These opportunities may range from medical help to humanitarian assistance. In the course project, you will propose a humanitarian aid trip addressing a particular health challenge for a targeted population.

In this initial assignment, you will select the scenario for your humanitarian aid trip, including the population. Next, you will identify the social determinants of health for the scenario you have chosen. According to the World Health Organization website, “The social determinants of health (SDH) are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age.” Identifying these determinants are critical for the success of your project.

Prompt

To start the process of your proposal to the SNHU Humanitarian Aid Foundation, you will need to establish that you understand the details related to the location including the population and the social determinants of health in that location. To complete this assignment, you must first select a scenario from the Project Guidelines and Rubric document for your proposed humanitarian aid trip. Craft a short paper providing a rationale for your selection and a detailed analysis of the scenario, the surrounding health concerns, and the social determinants impacting the scenario.

Note that you should cite at least three scholarly sources from your investigation. The evidence should not be older than five years. To access the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate, go to the Start Here section of the course.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Scenario: Use the Project Guidelines and Rubric document to select one scenario for the proposed humanitarian aid trip. Briefly state the scenario selected and provide your personal rationale for the selection of this scenario.
   • Briefly state the scenario.
   • Provide your personal rationale for selection of, and interest in, this scenario. (This can be your personal response and motivation for this selection. What made you select this option and what benefit do you believe you can bring to this challenge? This is the only section where first person, “I,” is acceptable.)
   • In two to three paragraphs, provide an evidence-based summary description of the problem.
2. Population: Describe the target population for the chosen scenario. The writing should be objective and should not include the first person.
   • Clearly identify the country and the geographic region where it is located.
   • Describe the socioeconomic profile of the chosen country.
   • Describe the demographic profile of the country.
3. Prevalent Health Concerns: Discuss the prevalent health concerns including the problem of focus in the scenario as well as other prevalent health concerns.
4. Social Determinants: Identify the social determinants of health for the scenario.
   1. Education: Identify the characteristics of the educational system including ease of access and quality of education for the population in the chosen country.
   2. Healthcare: Explain the ease of access and quality of healthcare reported in the country.
   3. Economic Stability: Describe the factors that influence the economic stability or instability of the country.
   4. Inequity: Interpret the inequities reported among the population in the country.
