Trends in policy, politics and world wide health
Introduction:
To pass this test, you must create and critically examine a public policy with the goal of promoting it as a means of bettering public health and/or the nursing profession worldwide (local, state, national, or international). To accomplish this goal, you will contemplate many facets of nursing policy making. Here are a few points to think about:
Why did you decide to focus on a policy issue in the health care or nursing field?
Trends in policy, politics and world wide health
How does this problem influence nursing practice, healthcare delivery, and patient and community outcomes?
How do your core beliefs and ethical stances shape your worldview?
Asking, “How will the success (outcomes) of your proposed policy change be measured?”

You will assess and present the nursing perspective to policy makers and stakeholders utilizing a bottom-up and top-down strategy. You will establish standards by which your work can be judged, based on the values and ethics you’ve determined underlying your role. A policy brief for decision-makers and a strategy for collaborating with a group/community to advance policy change at the regional level will result from this effort.
Using evidence from studies conducted in the field of nursing is crucial for arriving at a reasonable conclusion. Principles of community-based participatory research should be a part of this (CBPR).
