NURBN2021 Assessment Instructions 2021 Assessment Task 2: Academic Critical Review Essay Due: Monday 19th April @ 11:59pm. Word Count: 1500 words (+/- 10%) Weight: 40% Research and Writing time: approx. 12-20 hours Number of References: 10 minimum, APA 7th style ONLY Purpose: This essay is designed to develop a capacity to identify, research and critically analyse the key concepts within health promotion and health education as it relates to the role of the professional nurse. This task is intended to encourage students to practise writing and presenting researched material in a logical, concise manner that is academically rigorous, including correct referencing, spelling and grammar. Topic: As we have seen in previous studies, vulnerable populations are influenced by various determinants of health. Vulnerability can be diverse and is something every nurse should try to minimise. Discuss how and why your population is vulnerable, and what determinants of health contribute to this. Your writing should include discussion of the nurse’s role with regards to health education, empowerment and health literacy, and how these factors may influence care for this group of people. You should also mention the connection to health promotion, community health and primary health care. Instructions: For this essay, you are to focus on the target group you have chosen for your final presentation program. You should first explain who your chosen group are and why they are vulnerable, describing (and supporting with evidence) the determinants of health that are contributing to their vulnerable state. In the following paragraphs, explain the nurse’s role in relation to each key concept in the topic: health education, empowerment and health literacy- specifically for this group. In these paragraphs, you might make a small mention of how practice might be different for other populations? Or how these concepts might influence nursing practice or health outcomes for your target group? Where appropriate, also include how the nurse’s role and the vulnerable population, relate to the bigger picture- health promotion, community health or primary health care. Remember the purpose of this task is to demonstrate your understanding of key concepts in the topic. Do you understand how the nurse’s role and practice is influenced by the people they care for? Can you explain how the nurse’s practice might drive change for the individual and/or the whole community? Make sure you demonstrate good understanding of each concept, the nurse’s role, and make connections to how they may influence positive or negative health outcomes. TIP: The first step to ANY assessment task is to read through the topic and underline ALL key concepts. Then you ensure each one is clearly discussed or addressed within your task to demonstrate your understanding. The key to good academic writing is to clearly articulate the connections between the concepts and how they relate to each other and the evidence required to support your arguments. Good luck.
