WK 6 DIS

Week 6: Discussion

Back to Week at a Glance

The social determinants of health

The social determinates of health
 include factors other than access to health care, such as socioeconomic status, economic stability, access to quality education, physical environment, support networks, employment, etc. Although efforts to improve healthcare within the United States usually point to responsibilities within the healthcare system, there is a growing recognition that these social determinants of health are also critical—from the individual to the population level.

As a DNP-prepared nurse, you will consider and address the social determinants of health when working with patients. Think about the ways in which this will positively impact your patients’ experiences and outcomes, as well as the communities you serve.

To prepare:

· Review the Learning Resources that address the importance and value of taking the SDoH into consideration as a DNP-prepared nurse.

· Consider why and how you intend to begin shifting your thinking and practice related to the SDoH from the relatively smaller scope of patient care to the broader perspective of organizations, communities, and the larger field of nursing (e.g., advocating at the policy level, meeting with stakeholders, utilizing esearch and data, etc.).

· Select 
one SDoH Domain that is of particular interest to you on which to focus for this Discussion.

· Using Walden Library and the internet, search for and identify
 three scholarly, peer-reviewed articles (within the last 5 years) that address the SDoH Domain you selected from the broader perspective of organizations, communities, and the larger field of nursing.

By Day 3 of Week 6

Post the following:

· An explanation of the importance and value of taking the SDoH into consideration as a DNP-prepared nurse.

· Identify the 
one SDoH Domain you selected and explain why it is particularly important to you.

· An explanation of why and how you intend to shift your thinking and practice related to the SDoH from the patient-level to the organizational, community, and/or larger field of nursing levels. Be specific, provide examples, and cite the 
three scholarly resources you identified to support your points.

Note: Your posts should be substantial (1000 words minimum), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA Style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable as part of a meaningful post but cannot stand alone as the entire post.
