Reflection on Learning

Q1. The time that I was to be politically involved

Motivating patients and individuals is an essential aspect of nursing in eliminating the social inequalities associated with health care. The health care policy concludes with resource allocation decisions for a specific area of ​​government, members of particular groups, and community members (Annesley, 2019). An essential qualification of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is political skills that will make nurses' voices heard in shaping health care policy. DNP plays an advocate in seeking better health care outcomes for all patients and reduces the global epidemic.

I have had the opportunity to represent my patients at the clinic where they and their families do not receive the proper care of other unique items in the hospital. I have had many opportunities to promote particular policies and treatment laws by extending our Senator, but sadly I have been busy with the funeral of my late relative. Trying to fulfill this role has given me a deeper understanding of how important I am as a nurse in health care policies, which has improved my understanding of health policies affecting health systems, consumers, governments, and health workers. According to Loversidge (2016), health policies success is associated with the ability of patients to achieve quality health.

Q2.political competency areas that need to be developed

Political skills are new to me as a DNP expert; however, the regions of opportunity and growth in this area will begin with self-awareness. Recreation responds to political concerns and difficulties in nursing by providing an actual reason for the change (Nicolas et al., 2021). These stages of development include skill and attention as I grow as a leader. Political appropriateness provides knowledge of the problems and beneficial changes that may affect policy. The first section understands the state and city-sponsored health care proposal and knows how it affects the care I provide to my patients. Next, learning to know my legislatures and their policies will help me grow better care.

Communicating with local communities and political leaders about community concerns can help promote party building. Johnson (2021) used constructive relationships as the first step in making technology by recognizing and understanding the intentions of politicians. Political leadership skills require a person to focus on communication, self-awareness and use the art of relaxation and foresight to set and improve priorities. As a DNP scholar, I will need to develop my political skills by articulating my goals, creating the need for change, and encouraging the community to promote development in specific contexts.

Q3.Campaign for Action tweet

The feed on Twitter this week had a lot of exciting topics. I was interested in the Campaign for Action tweet focusing on the past 500,000 lives due to COVID-19 and the need for vigilance and vaccination for those who should take it. There is still a significant segment of the public uncertain about the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine. Attwell (2021) found that about 25% of the world's population still disagreed with the availability of vaccines, especially those who did not believe in science and thought that the virus was a deceptive method. Publicly sending a message to people about the need to protect themselves and loved ones from coronavirus is essential, which is achieved by vaccination.

Q4.My thoughts and opinions about the Tweet

Healthcare providers are obliged to raise awareness of the benefits of vaccination to help alleviate the fears of those who are unsure by encouraging them to be vaccinated to prevent the spread of coronavirus (Atwell 2021). As a patient advocate, a DNP specialist should seek ways to educate and develop communication in a simple way that attracts the general public's interest.

A DNP specialist can use many opportunities to communicate with patients and the public. An inexpensive and straightforward way is to use social media platforms such as Twitter to educate, connect, and encourage patients and the community. It is crucial to develop nurses' skills concerning social media because this is a flexible way of communicating between health care providers.
