Introduction
Epidemiology of suicide is well established as an important public health problem with extensive impact on families, communities and societies. According to research done by S, P, L, A and A in 2019 it was revealed that over 77% of world suicides took place in low and middle income countries. Currently in Australia, men within the Wide Bay area of Queensland are most vulnerable to suicide with a rate of 37.6 deaths per 100000 people. The present paper aims to analyse the issue of male suicide in Wide Bay and consider the parts played by social determinants of health and nurses in this context. This also focuses on how healthcare cooperation with stakeholders can improve the quality of care given to such vulnerable group.
Part A: Define and State the Target Community
Wide Bay is situated in Queensland state in Australia, it covers has the characteristics of rural and semi rural. The community of interest in this report is the men within this region because the suicide mortality rate among men is significantly higher compared to the national average. This geographic & relational community consists of males of all ages from all socio-economic status, many of whom are socially isolated, financially insecure, and have limited access to mental healthcare services. Wide Bay is actually a farming community although there are some of the smaller towns depending on fishing and touristic sectors. Those challenges in the social and economic adjustment most of the people of the region experience job insecurity, loneliness and feeling of rejection from society especially those who are rural dwellers this result in mental illnesses hence lack of sufficient health facilities and healthcare products to offer adequate support.
This is especially the case for male residents of Wide Bay who are between 25 and 54 years of age. Men from this age group are less likely to seek mental health services, due to traditional macho man culture, shame or embarrassment of mental illness. Thus, the response to suicide prevention intervention in this respect entails understanding the relational dimensions within a community to consider geographic factors that play out on the lives of the people.
Part B: Social Determinants of Health Impacting Health Outcomes
Health social factors are the underlying socioeconomic factors, the places where people are raised and live, work, and age the influence health. They suggest that for the male population in Wide Bay, Queensland wherein suicide mortality rate is 37.6 deaths per 100000, several social determinants contribute to the high level of suicide. Three most influential factors that influence Mens mental health in this community are, these include, financial stability, social support and health care services.
1. Economic Stability
This paper explains that economic fluctuations significantly influence mental health. Many regions specialising in wide bay are rural and therefore the employment opportunities in such regions are scarce and the economy relies heavily on agricultural production, fishing, and tourism. Seasonal changes, market conditions or forces, drought or any other natural calamity make people employed in these sectors, insecure, financially under pressure, and instable. Bereavement, job insecurity, and poor earnings make many men in Wide Bay stressed, anxious, and often depressed. A number of studies have also documented the suicidal risk in relation to socioeconomic decline where unemployment is the main areas of life linked to suicidal behavior particularly in men (Bassilios et al., 2024).
2. Social Support
Another key factor that have to do with mental health includes social support with an emphasis on the male persons. As the matter stands, men in Wide Bay are more inclined to social isolation, something that typical paramount a global problem observed on many rural areas. These reasons include; geographic dispersion, low density of population; this results in peoples’ regularly being distanced from their kin, friends or neighbours. Secondly, cultural unpropositions about manhood would make malefolks afraid of seeking counseling support, or being seen as weak. This cultural norm in masculinity suppresses stem feelings, and men do not seek help for mental health problems or seek therapy.
Being isolated is more dangerous for one’s mental condition than physical one, because such condition increases the feelings of loneliness and hopelessness as well as depressive states. In this context, the findings that suggest secure social...
