Rather, rural health care is primarily discussed and researched in terms of access to services. The authors further state that, according the WHO, social determinants include ‘the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, including the health system.’ Therefore, they make the case that research is indicated in order to assess the extent and impact of social determinants on health – specifically on African Americans [in the rural south]. Although this article explores the social determinants of health overall, it also lists the high incidence of the following among this group: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS, hypertension and
Psychological aspect of it plays an important role in determining the prognosis of an individual with disease regardless of the severity of their medical diagnosis (J. W. Drisko and M. D. Grady, 2012). According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2007) “health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. Thus, the biomedical model is not suitable to use in the medical field. Biological, psychological and sociological are interconnected to each other. For
Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Tara Washington NUR 405 August 24, 2015 Denise Wilson When looking at a community and the health of that community, it is important to define what exactly a community is and what community health is as well. A community is a group of people who live within the same geographic location and share the same type of lifestyle, values and norms. Community health then seeks to look at the general health beliefs and practices within that community. According to Stanhope and Lancaster (2008), “Community health is defined as the meeting of collective needs through identification of problems and management of behaviors within the community itself and between the community and the larger society” (p. 370). Community health is not limited to improving outcomes of an individual suffering from a particular disease or illness, but concentrates on the improvement of the community as a whole.
Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Mary Lou Lamer NUR/405 January 25, 2013 Dawn Warner Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Introduction “Although it is necessary to identify health risk factors among individuals and groups in the community, it is of paramount importance that nurses learn to identify and work with health problems of a defined population or the total community”. (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012, pg. 395). The “windshield survey” is one method that the nurse can use to collect data about a particular community, however, understanding the meaning of community, community health, community as a client, and partnership, as they relay to nursing in the public setting, is important to successful data assessment. Community “Community is a locality – based entity, composed of systems of formal organizations reflecting society’s institutions, informal groups, and aggregates”.

There are four phases to FT which are uncovering, decision, work, and discovery. This therapy examines the injustice done to others, consider and make decisions on forgiveness of all involved parties, and learn the skills to forgive. It has been applied to certain populations. Forgiveness Therapy decreases the frequency and severity of maladaptive emotions rather than improve individuals' ability to cope with these emotions. “Given the importance of anger and related emotions such as anxiety and depression in the recovery of substance-dependent patients, we expect that patients in residential treatment for substance dependence could benefit from FT.” (Lin, Mack, Enright, Krahn, and Baskin, 2004) Forgiveness is the main feature to emotional recovery when dealing with chemical dependency.

Comparison Paper Kimberly Knipp May 7, 2012 NUR/408 Lori Barrasso Public health goes back a long way. Charles-Edward A. Winslow, an American public health leader, defined public health as “the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical health and efficiency through organized community efforts for the sanitation of the environment, the control of community infections, the education of the individual in principles of personal hygiene, the organization of medical and nursing service for the early diagnosis and preventive treatment of disease, and the development of the social machinery which will ensure to every individual in the community a standard of living adequate for the maintenance of health” (Winkelstein Jr., 2002). Today, the definition remains the same, although some may add the mental and physical aspects of health as well. This definition provided has lasted throughout the years and in 1948 the World Health Organization used it to provide the definition of health: "A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (Winkelstein Jr., 2002). Although health was always a concern including in ancient times, during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, also known as the Renaissance period, public health became a major issue due to the bubonic plaque.
The term "community health" refers to the health status of a defined group of people, and the actions and conditions that protect and improve the health of the community. Those individuals who make up a community live in a localized area under the same general regulations, norms, values, and organizations. The actions that protect and improve community health can be organized into three areas: health promotion, health protection, and health services. These efforts relates to these private sectors that do everything they need to do to improve the health of the community. There are many different diseases that go around that can affect the wellbeing of community health.
