Health Equity and Disparities (Paperback)

Population health and vulnerable populations have an impact on the overall health status of communities and countries. This requires recognition that we have serious disparities in health delivery and outcomes that must be addressed in all healthcare settings. The nursing profession has acknowledged these facts through its recent standards and ethics; statements about racism, discrimination, health equity, and disparities; and strategies to improve population health. Designed to support current standards and goals for the nursing profession, Health Equity and Disparities provides students with a succinct yet vital exploration of health disparities, their impact on health systems, and the ways in which nursing professionals can promote more equitable health experiences. The text addresses a broad range of topics, including social determinants of health; social justice and economics; diversity and disparities; and health literacy. Readers learn about the promotion of diversity, inclusivity, and equity in nursing, as well as the impact of health and social policies on health equity and disparities. They are provided with strategies to improve and sustain greater levels of health equity through collaboration, partnerships, and transformative change. Health Equity and Disparities is part of the Cognella Series on Public and Community Health Nursing, a collection of concise, informative guides that explore critical topical areas, their nursing application, and their relationship to nursing practice.
