DISCUSS HOW GEOPOLITICAL AND PHENOMELOGICAL PLACE INFLUENCE THE CONTEXT OF A POPULATION OR COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION NRS 428

Topic 1 DQ 2

Discuss how geopolitical and phenomenological place influence the context of a population or community assessment and intervention. Describe how the nursing process is utilized to assist in identifying health issues (local or global in nature) and in creating an appropriate intervention, including screenings and referrals, for the community or population.

Geopolitical place refers to the community boundaries, transport system, geographic features, climate, vegetation, animals, and settlements (Green, 2018). These factors affect community health in diverse ways. The demographics, diversity, ease of health access and resources, and remoteness of an area will determine the community’s health (Green, 2018). The transport infrastructure influences the remoteness of an area affecting how they receive medical resources, professionals, and access resources outside the geographical boundaries. According to Towne Jr. (2017), area-level features that may affect medical care access are geopolitical characteristics like Medicaid policies leading to forgone medical care.

A phenomenological place is a relational or psychological location, not a geographical one that features the history, culture, economics, education, spiritual values, and goals (Green, 2018). These factors are critical determinants of community health because they point out the barriers to health and those with a positive effect. These factors can help a community health nurse determine the health literacy, attitudes, and beliefs towards health and the health gaps of a phenomenological place. According to Minority Nurse (2018), a phenomenological place can help nurses assess human experiences and use the information to support populations in exercising control over their health and wellbeing.  

The nursing process requires a rigorous assessment of the population’s geopolitical and phenomenological factors. This assessment helps identify factors or features that may, directly and indirectly, affect the population’s health. A nurse can use the same information to carry out phenomenological and ethnographic studies to understand a community’s or population’s health. The demographics, geopolitical, and phenomenological factors can determine how to conduct health education and promotion, sensitize the need for specific health behavior, and develop policies that deal with forgone medical care.

In your post you quoted Green (2018) ” The demographics, diversity, ease of health access and resources, and remoteness of an area will determine the community’s health”. Then you spoke about how remoteness affects medical resources for the community. This information is interesting to me and is a common problem that many poverty-stricken communities face. While doing research this week, I came across solutions regarding how the health care system and political leaders need to respond to the lack of health care amongst these communities. According to Persaud et. al (2018) “Promoting and achieving global health: Two things are essential if this is to succeed. One is that health-care systems need to be culturally sensitive and appropriate, and cultural relativism is considered and second, health, especially the mental health, needs to be a part of impact assessment of all policies.”
