Prenatal/Postnatal Health Care for Immigrant Women in Canada: Consideration of the Population Health Promotion Model
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 15 page paper discussing the prenatal and postnatal health care considerations for immigrant women in Canada. Discussion also includes the population health promotion models. The World Health Organization has designated several high risk populations in regards to health care issues. Among these vulnerable populations are immigrants and women during the prenatal and postnatal stages of child delivery. Immigrant women in Canada make up 30% of the current immigrant population and in addition to cultural and language barriers, these women are also isolated in their community because their movements may be restricted due to child or household responsibilities. Within the last decade, Canada has established many health care centers and programs across the country to meet the health care needs of women immigrants based on population health promotion models which establish communication and interaction within the community in order to determine community needs before activation of an action plan. Nurses within Canada are involved in health promotion from the start of the process to the finish. Nurses are necessary in regards to their medical knowledge in the health care centers but have also expanded their roles to communicators and educators within the community. In addition to medical based opportunities, the increasing number of immigrant health care centers in Canada also provides social education opportunities for the nursing profession as well. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
