From the Paper
"The comprehension of concepts is key in health education, especially in an evidence-based field such as health. However, opportunities for this type of professional development are demanding on time and resources, particularly busy academic institutions. Banning (2005), in a qualitative study, found that different levels of evidence were utilized according to one's appreciation of them, suggesting that prior training in the use of these resources for continuing education can influence users' perceptions and appreciation of evidence-based practice."

Abstract
This paper describes different health education philosophies as well as the author's own health education philosophy and how and why she arrived at such a philosophy. The author emphasizes that her own philosophy on teaching health education is derived from a combination of several teaching philosophies which she believes will promote the knowledge and skills necessary for her students, their families and the community to achieve a better quality of life.
From the Paper
"Our profession is at a critical stage of self-evaluation, of which philosophical inquiry is a key element. Answers to the questions of what health education is and how one accomplishes this will determine the place of health education now and in the future. (Welle, Russell, & Kittleson, 1995) My initial reaction while reading the Welle et al article, was that there seems to be a need to define a single philosophy for the credibility and effectiveness of health education in general. After some thought, however, my focus shifted. Since such a wide variety of settings, audiences and issues exist; a single philosophy of health education would not be beneficial or even possible. It makes sense that there were significant oppositional views when it came to the study participants' philosophical choices, given their differences in educational settings."

Mental Health and Physical Health, 2005.
Discusses the reasoning behind two beliefs - whether or not mental health should be treated on par with physical health.

Abstract
There are two arguments regarding the treatment of mental health. Some believe that it should receive the same amount of health care coverage as physical illness, while others argue that the costs of treating mental illness could lead to severe problems. To better understand these arguments, this paper examines two articles, "Mental Health Should be Treated on Par with Physical Health," by Lewis L. Judd, and "Mental Health Should Not be treated on Par with Physical Health," by Richard E. Vatz, as well as two of their reference sources.
From the Paper
"Martin Bobgan and Deidre Bobgan, the writers of an article titled, "Mental Illness is not a Disease" would probably agree that spending money on mental illness, and treating it equally to physical illness would be a lost cause. Although their opinion is much more drastic than that of Richard Vatz, all three writers would probably seem to agree that covering mental illness in insurance coverage would not be helpful to society. In the article, Mental Illness is not a Disease," Martin and Deidre Bobgan profess that people "continue to promote the false concept of mental illness, to align it with medicine, and consign it to science." It is apparent that these writers believe that the mental state and one's physical well-being fall into completely different categories."

From the Paper
"Patient and family education is an integral part of quality care. Providing it is a responsibility shared by all care professionals who interact with a patient and with family members. Teaching patients can be the most challenging as well as the most rewarding aspect of care. Understanding the patient's religious and cultural background is an important consideration when providing health education to the Lok family. In order to determine the family's cultural status and understand its forced migration, I must be open-minded, show respect for beliefs that differ from my own, and avoid making assumptions or stereotyping. In educating the Lok family, it is essential to understand Chinese culture. China is a country of multiple faiths, with a large segment of the pop..."

Abstract
This paper examines and provides information on the roles and responsibilities that health care managers are tasked to accomplish in today's health care systems. Moreover, this paper examines how a health care manager's job as a leader who ensures a smooth and organized management and operation of health organizations, influences his/her perspective on health care professions. The paper emphasizes the importance of understanding how health care managers perceive their duties in health care service.
From the Paper
"The basic role every manager must be able to render is the task of providing good human relations to everyone at work. Through this role, the objective of accomplishing jobs in an environment where good work relationship is maintained can be made possible. In the field of health care, healthcare managers must have the ability to perform this basic responsibility. A healthcare manager should be a specialist in managing the condition of the healthcare staffs. Though this duty may be perceived as a simple task, it is critical that a good human resource management be delivered to a health organization to ease the stress and pressure that health care providers, such as the doctors and nurses, experience from their duties."

Health and Safety for Nurses in Home Health Care, 2008.
A discussion of health and safety issues for nurses who work with home health care agencies.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the situation of nurses in home health care, who regularly work in isolation without the benefit of peers or essential supports, unlike nurses in hospitals, which have the benefit of safety and security measures provided by the institution. The paper points out that home health care nurses are predominately female and are subject to high physical and psychosocial demands. Furthermore, many of these nurses work in isolated rural settings, making them more prone to physical assault, sexual assault and various forms of workplace violence, as well as personal injury related to heavy lifting. The paper argues that the most important point about health and safety issues is that they impact of the care the client receives. To conclude, the paper maintains that the goal for all home health care agencies must be to ensure the safety of both staff and patients, and this may be achieved through employee awareness and in agency commitment to the staff.
From the Paper
"Home health care is a rapidly expanding industry because of such factors as an aging population and decreased hospital stays. With that expansion have come increasing incidents of violence in the workplace. Surveys of nurse reveal that problems related to safety in the home care field have escalated. These problems range form verbal and physical abuse, along with threatening animals to visible weapons and illegal drugs (Sylvester & Reisener, 2002). In addition, nurses in home care very often work in areas where the crime rate is above the national average. All of these issues and concerns create a potential impact on patient care and patient outcomes (Fazzone & Barloon, 2000). When nurses are in continual fear over their safety, this situation is certain to affect the quality of care."

From the Paper
"RN program nursing schools strive to provide students with the highest quality of education possible. Curricula are designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills that will prepare them for success in the field of nursing. The most effective way to measure the acquisition of this crucial knowledge and skill is the HESI exit examination. This is a standardized test that determines whether students can demonstrate that they have acquired a sufficient base of knowledge to progress into employment in the field of nursing."
